In pursuit of God from a very young age I came across a great dilemma… to pursue God wholeheartedly in this very life or leave it for future manifestations. If I wanted to curtail the ongoing cycle of birth and death, bring it to a halt forever… possibility of my quitting the family was great. To indulge in contemplation I […]
If recitation of Hanuman Chalisa could result in spiritual development… many Hindus would have gained enlightenment every single day. In the last about 150 years only Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana succeeded in gaining enlightenment, moksha salvation. Enlightenment can be gained only by negating karma to zero. Karma has to be burnt in totality to reach stage of absolute […]
Prompted by a bloated ego (Aham in Hinduism), mesmerized by glare of worldly riches human beings indulged in materialistic goals of life rather than traveling path of pure spirituality. At any given point of life any of the two was dominating… our ego or voice of our true inner self, soul atman existing in heart. Subduing ego in totality, following […]
From beginning of life I believed more in Lord Krishna than anyone else. Indulging in doctrine of Advaita Vedanta I finally realized that God Almighty was one and only one… called Brahman in Hinduism, creator of entire cosmos! Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita also says to offer all prayers, worship directly to Brahman and never its attributes (various gods and […]
Indulging in path of spirituality from the very beginning of life I realized that I was primarily a soul atman manifesting human form. By subduing my ego (Aham in Hinduism) I could distinctly hear the voice of soul atman coming from within my heart. Traveling path of absolute truthfulness all throughout, I could hear the voice of soul atman as […]
At the esoteric level, in the spiritual realm we were all one… almost identical! When a bag of uncut diamonds is delivered to a diamond cutting centre… all the individual uncut diamonds seemed similar. The moment they passed through the hands of a diamond cutter, they developed individual identities. The moment human beings passed through different stages of karma, […]
The eyes of anyone are a true reflection of their inner being. If we were truthful or indulging in falsehood, everything was told by our eyes. When sometimes we peep into others eyes and distinctly able to identify truth from false… we sometimes feel scared as we might be expecting the opposite. For example if we trust someone fully […]
It was assuming… could we combine two branches of a tree to make them one! Would that ever be possible? Can we truly accomplish such a feat? Of their own the two countries would never combine, become one in the largest interest of citizens, the entire society at large! But politically the combination was possible. In the aftermath of […]
Indulgence in yoga meditation results in enormous amount of flow of mucus! How do we think all the dead thoughts get discarded!

Initially I was very much disturbed but slowly I realized that all discarded thoughts exited from body through mucus. […]
In India primarily in Hinduism, the average lifespan of human beings has been divided into four categories, ashramas… Brahmacharya (bachelorhood), Grihastha (married life), Vanaprastha ashram (stage of contemplation) and Sannyasa (ascetic life), each totaling about 25 years on an average (considering human life to be average 100 years)! After crossing Grihastha ashram (family life) at 51 years of age […]
The compelling instinct… was it not God Almighty talking to us through soul atman existing in our heart! We may not believe in God still, we could feel presence of God Almighty in day-to-day affairs of life. We can also hear the sweet small promptings of our soul atman coming from heart by traveling path of 100% truthfulness all the […]
The goal of indulgence in yoga meditation always was reaching God in present life time. And for this working for welfare of mankind at large all the time was necessitated. As all are children of God, in serving mankind… we were directly serving God Almighty in all his glory! If we think of yoga meditation in terms of any […]
Yoga does not give cosmic energy, it rather connects with cosmic energy, primordial cosmic power we called God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism). It was indulging in yoga human beings reached God. The most powerful cosmic energy was already available to mankind in form of sexual energy, the most potent of all energies made available to mankind by grace of God […]
Moulding their thoughts, human beings had the inbuilt potential, willpower… power of discrimination to reshape their life, manifest their destiny forever! At any stage of life, a full manifestation of behaviour, psychological changes was possible but it needs extreme patience, persistence and perseverance. As normal human beings failed to exercise the required level of willpower… it was quite possible that […]
If a person was destined to live 61 years of age and one succumbs to accidental death at 60 then spiritually the lifespan would be divided into two phases of 60 and one year of age. The released soul atman would manifest a body only for one year of age. In spiritual terms, on cosmic scale nothing much happened. The […]
Meditation is indulged primarily via contemplation! Before going to bed in night lying in shavasna pose of yoga one can indulge in self enquiry (Neti… not this, not this) to reach higher realms of spirituality. On path of meditation we need dissolving queries existing within… queries relating to our true real inner self! One could also indulge in pranayama […]
When indulging in meditation, time for a seeker practically stops but actual time keeps moving. Meditational waves, thought waves in spiritual realm traveled at much higher wavelengths than speed of light. When indulging in thoughts of spiritual nature, time really stops… such happenings can be experienced by any true spiritual traveler. Such experiences were never vague, but a true fact […]
Most gods and goddesses in Hinduism were always depicted possessing four arms or more. The four arms practically represent two arms belonging to the physical manifest self and two arms to our true inner self… soul atman residing in our heart! The four arms clearly reflect stage of enlightenment… one having become a bodhi, a Jina… one possessing supernatural powers! […]
God, the primordial cosmic energy that created entire cosmos also created the delicate art of sexual indulgence so that mankind, even lower forms of life continually evolving… indulging in progeny! In absence of the pleasurable act of sex, none would have indulged in progeny… creating a gaping hole in the process of evolution! The prime purpose of indulgence in sex […]
Ever since six years of age I have been distinctly hearing the voice of God so much so that it became integral part of daily routines of my life! Remaining truthful 100%, I could hear the sweet small promptings of soul atman coming from within my heart. The inner voice of this soul atman always guided me on right path. […]
Both Mahavira and Gautama Buddha indulged in spirituality to reach cosmic end of life… stage of enlightenment, moksha salvation! As path of spirituality demands indulgence in nonviolence, working for welfare of mankind all the time, loving one and all… it was but natural that enlightened souls believed in precepts of love, peace… nonviolence. It was ingrained into their psyche. […]
After mortal death if the residual balance of karma was negative, the released soul atman hibernated in heaven (naraka in Hinduism). This happened only if matching parents were not available on mother earth. The moment matching parents become available, the hibernating soul atman immediately manifests a new body to start new journey of life on mother earth. The stay […]
Vaikuntha in Hinduism allegorically is a place where souls’ atmans reside after gaining absolute purity. Followers of Christianity called it kingdom of God. Once a purified soul atman reaches Vaikuntha, it need not manifest a body again. In absence of dross impurities within, the need for a pure soul atman to manifest body any further ceases to exist. The soul […]
Everything depends on our goal of life! As my goal of life from the very beginning was spiritual… I indulged in precepts of spirituality contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (that form part of Hinduism philosophy) to reach God in my lifetime. As ordained in scriptures of different religions of world… we as a soul atman manifested present human […]
Recitation of a shloka or mantra ritually was meaningless… we would never gain desired results! Commentaries of Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads available with Gita press, Gorakhpur, India also contained transliteration that made it easier for one to follow the hidden underlying meaning of individual words contained in a shloka verse. To understand the exact meaning of a shloka in […]
If we were optimistic, practiced positivity in all stages of life… we would perceive positivity in all. If we viewed the glass half empty, how could we expect others to view the glass half full! Beauty always lay in the eyes of the beholder. As our perception accordingly the vision! If we indulged in positive thinking most of time, we […]
When one indulges in meditation we were expected to limit our thoughts, stop flow of thoughts to our brain in totality. This could be realized only gradually. The whole crux of meditation was concentrating on a single thought, a single principle of life at a time. This would practically reduce to living in the moment, to be present in the […]
Mahabharata war was no ordinary battle. It was fought, propelled by circumstances to re-establish Dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness). War of Mahabharata was practically precipitated by Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form). Arjuna who was not initially prepared to fight Kauravas, after sermon of Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna prepared […]
Lord Krishna all the time exists in our body as our soul atman, the consciousness within! Lord Krishna is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) belonging to Arjuna. Our soul atman is sandwiched in human body and would remain so unless it cleanses self of dross impurities within. After death of human body this soul atman […]
When we indulged in meditation dormant lying portions of our brain start activating slowly. This resulted in experiencing mild to severe pain in the head… sometimes continues for days, weeks…. even months! It was absolutely normal and consultation of a doctor was not necessary. The moment pain subsided; we experienced high levels of spirituality… intermittent stages of bliss, ecstasy, not […]
