I am totally awed being born in India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha)… citadel of Hinduism, foremost of all religions existing on mother earth. Born in a Jain family, right from six years of age I believed more in principles of Bhagavad Gita given by Lord Krishna than scriptures of Jainism. The reason was clear. I did not believe in age-old rituals […]
Prayers must always be offered to God through mental process. Use of any language was not necessitated. Prayers were never a one-way path. If we desire something from God, we must learn to offer something in return. Those who could not indulge mentally must offer prayers in their mother tongue. Via means of prayers a soul atman was trying to […]
If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman… the whole mound Parmatman (God Almighty)… termed Brahman in Hinduism! As we could never separate or identify the properties of both an individual grain and the whole mound… in principle, for explanation in scriptures… atman was equated to Brahman! In reality, Brahman (God Almighty) is the sum […]
The 12 year period of exile forced on Arjuna by Kauravas is symbolic. Before one gained enlightenment, understood cosmic essence of life… practice of celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years was necessitated. During 12 years of exile Arjuna indulged in practice of celibacy to expedite full awakening of kundalini shakti, the coiled Serpentine energy lying dormant in base […]
The seeds of spirituality existed in me from the very beginning of life. Maybe something I did in earlier life was the cause! Normally most human beings in present life were religious but wanted to become spiritual. Finding contemplation difficult, most indulged in religious practices (rituals). Believing in spirituality means having absolute faith in God (termed shraddha in Hinduism)! […]
The moment we realize we were only a medium for our soul atman within to cleanse self of dross impurities within… cause for all antagonism disappears forever. We were primarily a spiritual being manifesting human body. As no soul atman could purify itself of its own, it needs a medium… a body to work out its karma! The cycle of […]
Indulging in spirituality human beings finally transcend fear of death forever! In fact at the end of spiritual journey, a seeker finally transcends even death, becomes a pure soul atman… emancipates self from cycle of birth and death forever. Spiritual travelers’ feared death lesser than other mortals! People indulged in spirituality to reach cosmic end of life, become a […]
The karmic law was equally applicable to all species of life on mother earth including human beings. In human form it was very predominant but in lower forms of life it was applied automatically. If a lower species indulged in good karma (although mostly unknowingly), it evolved to higher stages of life. Indulgence in bad karma prolonged its cosmic journey […]
Cosmic life was not based on ifs and buts. Birth and death was integral part of cosmic life. To rotate endlessly in cycle of birth and death, death was ordained by God! Medical science could not interfere in the domain of God. The human form was primarily designed for average life of 100 years! After that, even before that vital […]
Spiritually awakened soul means a soul atman reaching stage of absolute purity! This becomes a reality when human beings traveling path of spirituality, indulging in yoga meditation gained enlightenment in their lifetime. Karma negated to zero, one finally emancipates from cycle of birth and death forever. Dominated by ego human beings failed to realize presence of soul atman within […]
We are primarily a spirit, soul atman existing in our heart. As a spirit, soul atman we were not distinct from God Almighty in essence. If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism). As human beings reached God Almighty following path of truth, it is truthfulness that was […]
Evolution of consciousness reaching its zenith means becoming an enlightened one… a bodhi, a Jina! In the last 5000 years came Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form)… and enlightened souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed… Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana! Apart from these came Adi Shankaracharya, saints like […]
Prayers, worship must always be offered to God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism), never enlightened souls! The most we could do was seek grace of enlightened souls! After reaching stage of enlightenment a liberated soul atman could travel to any part of cosmos at will. We could invoke blessings of enlightened souls any given moment of life. From 15 years […]
Dominated by ego and believing more in science than God, we lived in an imaginary world consisting of clones, cyborg that could become immortal… live forever! We fail to realize, no matter how much science of present times advances… the human life could not exceed beyond an average 100 years! The whole cosmic world was created by God Almighty. […]
Something accustomed to living in millions of degrees centigrade temperature, if left in cold where temperatures were considerably less… one would practically suffer all the time! Our soul atman though indestructible (could neither be created nor destroyed) was accustomed to living in core of sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. It was in such high temperatures our […]
At the time of big bang explosion all souls’ atmans were pure! The big bang explosion resulted in all souls atmans scattering all over cosmos at unimaginable speeds. In the melee, hurtling souls’ atmans gathered impurities similar as a rolling ball gathers moss. To cleanse self of dross impurities within started cosmic life cycle of every soul atman. When life […]
Both happiness and sufferings were two sides of the same coin; in absence of one the other carried no meaning! If we suffered, we also experienced happiness! It was through cycle of sufferings and happiness life evolved in cosmos. All life forms including human beings went through cycle of sufferings and happiness. None could escape cycle of karma and evolution. […]
Human form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. After passing cycle of 7.3 million manifestations in insect, plant and animal life… the soul atman finally manifests a human form! Liberation from cycle of birth and death was possible only in human form, never lower forms of life! We are lucky to be born a human being. […]
After death, only enlightened ones lived on mother earth! Through their immortal teachings, all enlightened souls were all the time available on mother earth. If I wanted to know anything relating to Mahavira (as if one was available in person), I just need indulging in teachings of Mahavira. In pursuit of God from six years of age I searched […]
Our ego was powered by five senses and mind. By establishing gradual control over five senses, control over ego follows automatically! At any given moment of life one of the two dictates us… our ego or the inner voice of our soul atman, consciousness existing in our heart! If we were 100% truthful in life, we could distinctly hear the […]
All human beings are controlled by five senses and mind. We also have ego that promotes our indulgence in karma. In absence of ego, no human being would ever indulge in karma; everything on mother earth would become stagnant, decay and die! Presence of ego within human beings sometimes makes us selfish! We care more for self and family […]
The path to reaching stage of enlightenment is detailed only in Bhagavad Gita. No other scripture belonging to any other religion, faith or belief could lead one to stage of enlightenment. Prime reason why after Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed none in Western world succeeded in gaining enlightenment! Comparatively in erstwhile Bharatvarsha (now India) hundreds succeeded in reaching stage of […]
The ultimate goal of life for human beings always was fixed… reach end of cosmic life, become an enlightened one at the earliest! What if I wanted to pursue a materialistic goal in life? Whatever our interim goal, we retained our right to pursue that goal in life. God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in […]
In the field of pure spirituality Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor) rightly said… do not preach unless you become an enlightened one! In the field of spirituality there could never be any teacher, one could only act as a guide and that too indirectly. In search of a spiritual teacher, master from six years of age after umpteen […]
After about a decade from now India will phenomenally grow in spiritual strength surpassing United States of America, superpower number one! In the aftermath of coming world war 3 India would regain its lost glory… become superpower number one! This reign of spiritual India would continue for about two centuries before it gradually slides down to dark ages. The […]
Are we, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle supposed to see the past! Can we indulge in past even if we want to? What if I come to know that my best friend in present life would be the cause of my death in present life due to bad karma indulged in previous manifestation! My best friend […]
Do we really need a physical Guru to guide us in the journey of spiritual life? When about nine years of age I searched for a spiritual master to guide me in the spiritual journey of life! No matter how best I tried, the numerous trips taken by me when I accompanied my father on official trips… I could find […]
No ifs and buts in field of pure spirituality. God never plays dice as assumed by famous physicist Stephen Hawking in his book “A brief history of time”. Everything in domain of God was perfectly ordered, something beyond comprehension of human beings! After mortal death the released soul atman immediately manifests a new body to start new circle of […]
Indulging in teachings of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita any human being world over belonging to any religion, faith or belief can reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation. To gain enlightenment in present life our traveling path of spirituality (not religion, path of rituals) was necessitated. Nothing in scriptures like Bhagavad Gita could be understood literally, they demand […]
Negation of karma to zero means a soul atman reaching stage of absolute purity forever… for a pure soul atman the need to manifest a body again ceases to exist. The soul atman finally emancipates self from cycle of birth and death. This stage in the life of a human being is called spiritual awakening when one becomes an enlightened […]
