It is here the role of God comes into play. When we worked for welfare of mankind, our thought process molded in our favour leading […]
What happened during bhakti yoga movement in erstwhile Bharatvarsha (now India)!

Immortality was a feature of spiritual path. It could never be understood by alchemists or science.

The precept of eternal life in Christianity was totally misplaced. The reason being we were primarily a spirit, consciousness manifesting human form to remove dross impurities within.

This is the […]

Depression was not a disease. When human beings indulged in something not dear to their heart, something distinct from their passion… they felt ill from within.

Consciousness existing in our heart as our soul atman was the only truth of life. So says Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita.

Contemplation, introspection seemed easier in the deeper confines of Himalayas. In present times one could indulged in worship of god even while living in Grihastha ashram (family life). Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita states one who indulges in worship of […]
Any hurt caused knowingly or unknowingly creates bondage of karma. We can free ourselves completely from this bondage if the person who is hurt forgives us completely. If that was not possible, then we must address our prayer to god asking for his forgiveness from that soul atman. We need telling God that we were truly sorry and were willing […]
In search of God from six years of age I reached a stage when I concentrated on Lord Krishna. The moment my mental frequency matched Lord Krishna, everything contained in Bhagavad Gita started coming out of my mouth verbatim. This proved that Lord Krishna did exist.

As ordained in Hinduism scriptures, indulging in yoga meditation human beings could reach God in present life or many manifestations after. God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in human form to reach stage of enlightenment. We do not know at what stage of karma we stood in present life. Between karmic scale of 7,000,001 and 8,400,000 […]
If Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed came in present time, what would be their following… definitely exceeding 1 billion out of 7 billion existing on mother earth.

Forgiveness in Hinduism is a very broad precept encompassing various other attributes of Hinduism. Primarily we ask forgiveness for wrongdoings of present or past lives indulged by us.

Karma was the inherent ingredient of cosmic system that facilitates movement of life from one manifestation to another. In absence of karma no life could evolve in cosmic system, everything would just decay and die. The precept of karma is the most grossly misunderstood precept of Hinduism.

Pitru dosha, a practice mere figment of religious pundits of different era, who in order to maintain a control over religious affairs of a kingdom devised hordes of religious practices just to maintain their livelihood. None in the western world followed such practices yet United States of America was superpower number one and India still a developing country. Lord […]
If we do not care for what people say or do, we could govern our life in a better manner. Prompted by others all the time, we could never run our life effectively. Before we could gain inner peace, tranquility in our mind (brain) we must have a definite goal in life. Only then we could channelize all our energies […]
The present human form was limited to present life on mother earth. As journey of life belonged to our soul atman, consciousness existing in our heart… after death of body our soul atman would manifest a new body based on residual balance of karma at the time of death. Even though the previous and the present manifestations were integrally connected […]
If we feel motivated after watching a movie, the inspiration in most cases was temporal. The reason being we put self in the boots of hero himself. We felt as if we could accomplish all that the hero accomplished in the movie. When the enthusiasm wipes out with time we again feel demotivated. The reality of life never existed in […]
If working hard weighed that much then every daily wager should have been rich by now. It was not only hard work that mattered in success, more important was our goal in life.

Remaining truthful we could hear the sweet small promptings of our soul atman coming from within our heart. This became possible when we reduced our ego. A bloated ego blocks everything we called consciousness, our soul atman within. If we were sincere in our dealings with our soul atman, we could find our passion of life. We must passionately try […]
I presently utilize my willpower to 100% capacity. Born in a village I went in search of God six years of age. As indulged more and more in spirituality, yoga meditation I realized… that willpower emanates from consciousness, soul atman existing in our heart. If it was so why was I not able to exercise my willpower to full capacity! […]
Yoga derived from root word yog was the only path to reaching full spiritual awakening. Yog in Hindi means effort of soul atman trying to merge with Parmatman, God Almighty (Brahman). In Hindi two yog two equals four. Ever since souls’ atmans, the consciousness within separated from their source, God Almighty himself… they got mired in impurities. To cleanse self […]
Someone who never climbed a mountain, standing on plain ground … can such a one ever describe what top of Mount Everest was like?

The path to Mount Everest could be detailed […]
If our goal in life was climbing Mount Everest, would it matter how many already climbed to the top! Working with a biased look, we reached nowhere.

Maryada Purushottam Rama advent in Treta yuga as an ordinary human being but after 14 years of exile succeeded in full awakening of kundalini shakti to become an enlightened one.

If we visualize Lord Krishna in the seat of God Almighty (Brahman) then as detailed in scriptures of Hinduism, God always acted as a Dhrishta (onlooker) never interfering with creation of his. In such circumstances only God could act neutral, unconcerned! What if Lord Krishna was born an ordinary mortal but succeeded in awakening kundalini at a very young age […]
