As the word denotes, Sanatana in Hinduism stood for everlasting, something existing from times immemorial. Definition of Dharma as dictated to me by God… “Dharma” … “Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined”. Dharma was inherent in all living beings including human beings right from inception. When no religion existed on mother […]
In the last about 150 years amongst 7000 million people existing world over only two travelers of spiritual path finally reached stage of enlightenment… Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana! When young and in search of a guru, I found none. I started following teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana. Writings relating to Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and […]
Sage Yajnavalkya (composer and compiler of most voluminous Brihadaranyaka Upanishad), the spiritual guru of King Janaka (father of Sita in Ramayana) was an enlightened soul. He ran a pretty large gurukul containing above 5000 students. He indulged in money for the sake of his gurukul and students. When he asked King Janaka for funds, King Janaka thought over it […]
The purpose of human life was fixed… travel path of spirituality and reach God in present life. For the fear of leaving their beloved ones, most human beings feared indulging in spirituality. This was a misnomer. As ordained by God, at whatever level we leave in present life, we could start our spiritual journey from the very same level in […]
We were primarily a soul atman, consciousness existing in our heart. We as a soul atman manifested human form to work out our karma, remove dross impurities within. All souls’ atmans emanated from the same source, God Almighty himself (Brahman in Hinduism). If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty. […]
Now and in times to come, must we follow a spiritual master who had yet to gain enlightenment in present life? In the last about 150 years only two spiritual stalwarts finally succeeded in gaining enlightenment in their lifetime… Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana! When I could not find a spiritual master to guide me in the journey […]
The concept of entering a higher realm after death did not exist in the field of spirituality. The doctrine of karma takes care of everything. As we sow so shall we reap nothing more or less! The closing balance of present life becomes the opening balance for next manifestation at the time of death. Based on residual balance of karma […]
Enlightenment is achieved subduing our ego in totality. We also need establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. Desire to get enlightened will never get us enlightenment. We just could not desire anything on path of pure spirituality. We need indulging in nishkama karma yoga, offering fruits of karma performed to God Almighty all the time. One desire breeds […]
Ancestors of mankind at large, before first human being was born on mother earth were animals. All human beings directly evolved from stage of animals. Hinduism scriptures clearly state that present journey of life belongs to our soul atman, consciousness existing in our heart. No sooner life supporting planets like mother earth evolved in cosmic system, the first manifestation […]
If we desire manifesting success in life, we must follow the path of our passion, something that came from within. We always want to do something, indulging in which we would not only be happy but also manifest success. This path was different from what elders in the family, relatives and friends suggest us. Not necessarily that elders or friends […]
Science is not capable enough to venture into domain of souls atmans. Science was primarily meant for human beings living a meaningful life on mother earth. Using science human beings could venture into unknown frontiers of space or depth of oceans, hitherto unknown. Science was also a means to provide bread-and-butter to human beings. The world of souls’ atmans, […]
The first example of leadership was Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era… who finally succeeded in establishing order in the society. Next to him comes Chanakya, the most able administrator in the entire history of mankind. To save lives of millions of soldiers and countrymen, he got hundred kings eliminated in one night. Then comes, Sardar Vallabhbhai […]
In my spiritual travail, I took help of angels, spirit guides all my life. I firmly believed that all enlightened ones did not vanish from mother earth. After reaching stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation, these enlightened souls could venture to any part of cosmos at will. Lying in shavasna pose of yoga when going to bed in […]
We must form a definite goal in life to manifest success and destiny forever. This must be accomplished at a young age. If we delay forming a definite goal in life, we would not be able to channelize all our energies behind that single goal of life. By pursuing path of celibacy we could channelize sexual energy (the most potent […]
Those who really made lots of money were never after money. These so-called successful people had a definite goal in life, pursuing which they accumulated lot of money and wealth. Those who ran after money never had a goal in life. How could such people ever earn a penny? If we desire manifesting lot of wealth and money, […]
God had nothing to do with life in heaven or hell. Mahavira in Scriptures of Jainism, Gautama Buddha in Buddhist scriptures, Jesus Christ in Bible and Prophet Mohammed in Quran nowhere stated that people were condemned to eternal damnation in hell or pleasure in heaven. These beliefs were totally misplaced, a creation of religious pundits, clergy to further their vested […]
All earthly relationships were limited to mother earth and come to naught after death of human body. In heaven and hell, none could go bodily. Both heaven and hell were places for hibernation of souls’ atmans. Based on residual balance of karma at the time of death, the released atman keeps rotating in the same family for quite some […]
In the domain of God everything that was truthful was righteous. Righteousness is directly linked to truthfulness and Dharma. If one were truthful and dharmic in life, then all our decisions would be considered righteous. “Dharma” … “Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined”. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man […]
When indulging in yoga meditation, we connected to spiritual realm, the world of souls’ atmans! Everything relating to souls atmans was so mind-boggling, so stressful that in the initial stages of yoga meditation… we often fell asleep. When lying in shavasna pose of yoga I indulged in self enquiry (Neti… not this, not this) as practiced and preached by […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism… the ultimate goal of human life was gaining enlightenment and finally moksha salvation. Every single human being on mother earth had the same goal. The goal of human life was decided by our soul atman, the consciousness existing in our heart. God Almighty ordained a journey of 1.1 million manifestations in human form […]
The first words of God, the Hinduism revelations… the four Vedas were invoked by highly intelligent, accomplished sages and saints. Before anything could be invoked from domain of God, one needs gaining enlightenment. And for a human being to reach stage of enlightenment, practice of pranayama (breathing technique) was necessary. It is only through pranayama human beings reached the source […]
On path of yoga meditation, unless one indulged in pranayama (breathing exercises), one could never reach stage of enlightenment, no matter what! Pranayama was a prerequisite to reaching spiritual goal of life. It was only through pranayama, sages and saints of earlier era reached source of all consciousness existing in our heart as our soul atman, the spirit within! […]
By gradually establishing control over ego, we could eliminate the void in our life. It is our ego that does not want our connecting to consciousness existing in our heart as our soul atman, the spirit. Control over ego can be established traveling path of nishkama karma yoga. Nishkama karma yoga simply means working like a trustee, for whom everything […]
If we understood meaning of yoga meditation wrongly then our indulgence would also be wrong. As I see personally, none seems to indulge in yoga meditation rightly. Yoga was termed meditation in English. Yoga is derived from root word yog which in Hindi means our soul atman, the consciousness trying to merge with God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism). In […]
Spiritual enlightenment, full awakening of kundalini shakti was not that easy realized. In present times, most people world over failed to understand the simple definition of spirituality. The term spirituality speaks for itself. We were primarily a spirit, a consciousness… a soul atman existing in our heart. As a soul atman we manifest human body to remove dross impurities within. […]
Spiritual awakening is a very slow long drawn process. To reach stage of enlightenment in one lifetime was nothing short of a miracle. God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in human form to reach stage of enlightenment. Control over five senses and mind is not established that easily… prime reason why in last 150 years […]
We must never be influenced by glare of media, mythological characters as shown in TV serials. All enlightened souls were born ordinary mortals. By traveling path of spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita they finally succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment. It is within capability of enlightened ones to spit out all diseases they have. They can always remain […]
State of absolute thoughtlessness, stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi is reached in the later stages of spiritual pursuit. It was almost the end of spiritual chapter when human beings gained enlightenment. The moment we succeed establishing absolute control over five senses and mind… we reached stage of absolute nothingness, the state we called Nirvikalpa Samadhi! Before we succeed in establishing […]
Pranayama (breathing exercise) is best indulged lying in shavasna pose of yoga. How was it possible that while indulging in contemplation, logical reasoning… we could also indulge in activities like reading? We could definitely indulge in yoga meditation… contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning even while indulgence in reading but not while pranayama. So was practically not possible. By: Vijay […]
We primarily were a consciousness, soul atman manifesting human form to work out our karma. As a soul atman we manifested human form to cleanse self of dross impurities within. We were a spiritual being manifesting human form. The human form was not competent to manifest a soul atman. Scriptures of Hinduism and other religion of world confirmed this. […]
