From my angle, luckiest person on earth is one who emancipates self from cycle of birth and death at the earliest… becomes a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed in present life. In terms of materialistic riches or manifest attributes of life… the word lucky carried no meaning. What after death undo us? We come again in […]
Politics in India is at its lowest ebb. For the sake of appeasing minorities, smaller communities… established rules are being bent in their favor. We have undergone 600 years of slavery first under Islamic invaders and then British. We practically behave like cowards in the face of enemy. Were it not for Indian Army, the best in world as of […]
Do you want to increase your self-confidence to infinity? Go to the nearest bookstore and get copies of following two books “Think and Grow Rich” and “Law of Success” by Napoleon Hill. These two books are worth their weight in gold. Regarding these two books I need not say much. How to form a goal in life, how to pursue […]
Can spiritual experiences ever be defined in words? Experiences of spiritual path were beyond comprehension of words. They can only be realized. The stage of ecstasy (bliss) can only be realized, never detailed in words. By travelling spiritual path as detailed in Bhagavad Gita when human beings reached higher levels of consciousness we felt we had consumed a bottle of […]
Why do we indulge in meditation yoga as understood in West? Indulging in yogic exercises never meant yoga meditation! As detailed in Bhagavad Gita… yoga meditation was the path to reach God in present life. And this journey can be covered by following path of spirituality. To reach God in present life one could indulge in yoga meditation as […]
Was it difficult to understand precepts of karma and destiny? The destiny of mankind, every single individual was always in our control. We can manifest destiny by indulging in proper karma all the time. We are born in this world not of our own. We just come. Having born, by exercising power of discrimination, power of contemplation we can […]
Islam as practiced today is not a religion of peace. Prophet Mohammed was a messenger of peace. But his teachings diluted with time. The present day upholders of Islamic Dharma preached Islamic religion that corrupted minds of many resulting in creation of jihadis, Islamic terrorists worldwide. Not all followers of Islamic Dharma were corrupt, only a very limited few ignorant […]
Enlightenment period… Could there be anything ever like that? Just by calling an age enlightenment period does not mean anything. It spells total ignorance on part of participants calling an age enlightenment period. Enlightenment (stage of kaivalya jnana) in Hinduism stood for reaching ultimate goal of cosmic life as a physical manifest human being. Reaching enlightenment means the cosmic journey […]
Jains all over India feel that Jainism is not only the oldest but their first Tirthankara Adinatha lived millions of years ago… at a time when human form had not yet evolved properly. The entire history of mankind is not more than 10,000 ~12,000 years old when came Rig Veda, the oldest and the earliest manifestation of God on mother […]
Hindu newspaper subtitle,”Stay Ahead of the Times” means leading an optimistic life all the time. No matter what level of sufferings we must never turn pessimistic. Our belief in God must be absolute all the time. Ups and downs were part of life, two sides of the same coin. Remaining optimistic we can manifest destiny as ordained by God […]
Commoners, masses definitely believed holy books blindly but not all. Holy books are primarily divided into two categories… religious and spiritual. Most religious books relate to rituals that had no relation to spirituality. If we desire reaching God in present life our indulgence in spiritual books was necessitated. Following path of religion (path of rituals) none reached God in present […]
Ever since evolution of mankind everything in cosmic system was governed by inscrutable laws of karma. As we sow so shall we reap nothing less or more! We could not expect mangoes to grow on a guava tree. As our karma of present, accordingly manifests our future. Both karma and manifestation were directly related. Belief or no belief in […]
A spiritual teacher, master is supposed to deliver messages from God following which human beings reached stage of enlightened (kaivalya jnana). Mahavira 24th Tirthankara of Jainism rightly said; do not preach unless you become an enlightened one… a bodhi, a Jina. Still, religious and spiritual saints in India keep preaching half baked theories to gullible mankind. To what avail! […]
Reincarnation a spiritual precept, fact of life explains about continuity of life in cosmic system. In absence of reincarnation life could not exist in cosmic system. After death of present body… our soul atman, the spirit within again manifests a new body based on residual balance of karma at the time of death. We can never know exactly the […]
Before becoming a republic India was a conglomerate of above 600 princely states. The collective power of India in those times was called Bharatvarsha, a nation comprising of above 600 Independent princely states. When Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel realized that working independently all these Independent princely states may contribute little to progress of India and also were insufficient, incompetent to handle, […]
In the field of pure spirituality does it really matter what people said or did. People rebuked the famous the artist and painter MF Hussain for depicting Hindu goddesses in nude. It has rightly been said, “Nudity always lay in eyes of the beholder”. A married couple walking on road unmindful of watching eyes becomes prey to moral policing. Who […]
Indulging in Hindu mythology or trying to read Bhagavad Gita literally one can never understand character of Lord Krishna. Born an enlightened one Lord Krishna was not a man god alone like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. He was an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form)… a lethal combination of a man god, an […]
Must we really indulge in mythology? Can we not manage our life without it? From six years of age I have not indulged in even a single book of Hindu mythology. Why? My goal of life always was reaching God in present life. In the initial stages of life I realized that religion had no place in realizing our true […]
We are all born equal as human beings. Yet one becomes a Buddha and the other a beggar. Who is to blame? There is some hidden inherent ingredient in path of human life that we failed to understand. Mesmerized by glare of worldly riches most human beings indulged in materialistic affairs of life. And when we experienced failure, we thought […]
More than color, do we not desire knowing why Lord Krishna is always depicted in dark grayish blue color? Lord Krishna was an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form). Such a stage in human form can only be realized when seeker indulged in welfare of entire mankind from very beginning of life. In doing so, the seeker […]
Bhagavad Gita was not a doctrine or philosophy existing before coming of Lord Krishna. When Arjuna was indecisive, in a dilemma whether or not to fight his cousins Kauravas in the battle of Mahabharata… Lord Krishna delivered a sermon to Arjuna that is termed Bhagavad Gita. The written script Bhagavad Gita was composed by Sage Veda Vyasa. Soon after […]
I was a very shy guy from beginning of life, a total introvert. Even after graduation in civil engineering from the finest institutes of my country I used to keep mum all the time. Deeply engrossed in thoughts of God most of time, I did not care what people said or did. So much so that some guests took it […]
When young and passing by Hindu temples in the morning or evening I used to see lots of girls forming a queue to the Shiva temple. I noticed this for many months and one day hesitatingly asked a girl why she came to the Shiva temple. Her answer flummoxed me. She just stated, only to get a good husband. […]
So we are serious about knowing caste of Lord Shiva, an attribute of God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism). In our search for caste of a godly character we could go to any length. In India the caste system is so prevalent, strong, so deep into our psych that if God Almighty himself came disguised then in no time Indians […]
Yoga… a path following which Jesus became Jesus Christ, Mohammed became Prophet Mohammed and Siddhartha Gautama… Gautama Buddha… overrated? Narendra Modi trying to showcase spiritual wealth of India, getting June 21 declared as International Yoga Day… does this all appear humbug? Yoga is the precept, spirituality the path to reach God in present life. In absence of yoga meditation […]
We should be praying to Brahman (God Almighty) instead of Lord Srikrishna. But can we do that? For commoners, masses it was just not possible to conceptualize God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism) in Nirakaar form (having no form). To solve this predicament various sages and saints of yesteryears evolved different forms of gods and goddesses so that mankind at large […]
