The teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita formed summum bonum of spirituality. There was nothing nobler than wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita, following which human beings reached stage of enlightenment and finally salvation moksha. Both Bible and Koran evolved around teachings of an enlightened one. Following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita not hundreds but thousands gained enlightenment in their lifetime. […]
Does God relate to well-being of physical manifest human beings? Ever since creation of cosmos… everything in cosmic system was directly governed by inscrutable laws of karma… as we sow so shall we reap nothing less or more! God Almighty never interferes in day-to-day routines of life. Going to hell or heaven depends upon the residual balance of karma at […]
God answered our prayers only when we worked for welfare of mankind most of time. The path of prayers was never one-sided. If we desired something from God, we need offering something to God in return. All my life since six years of age I indulged for welfare of mankind at large all the time. So much so that […]
Survival of the fittest is a natural phenomenon… never to be indulged by human beings, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life! Human beings have been endowed with power of discrimination that distinguishes us from animals. Depending on our karma life moved ahead in cosmic life cycle. How we indulged in karma was our sole prerogative, none other could interfere […]
The structure of a soul atman is incomprehensible. Human beings can never conceive identity of a soul atman now or in future ever. As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism the human form was only a vehicle in the cosmic journey of a soul atman. The human form was manifested by our soul atman to work out its karma, remove […]
By introspection one can find something truly dear to our heart. Following the same we could spend our life meaningfully in the present journey on mother earth. Our life goal is dictated by our karma of past and present. We just could not expect mangoes to grow on a guava tree. As our karma of past and present… accordingly flows […]
The sacred scriptures of Hinduism in the initial stages consisted of four primary Vedas… viz. Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. As these scriptural texts were voluminous in nature… they could only be deciphered by learned scholars, sages and saints. For the inherent messages to reach masses… saints and sages of different era wrote independent treatises called […]
Indulging in vast expanse of cosmic consciousness, we could do away with fear forever. Those who were fearless were more nearer to God than others. The moment we realized we were a soul atman on its cosmic journey of life (and not a manifest physical form alone)… fear left forever. In my spiritual journey of life, I overcame fear […]
By realizing some cosmic truths of life, we could do away with ego forever termed Aham in Hinduism. In the first place, ego was created by God to facilitate human form to live life in a meaningful manner. In absence of ego, life would lose its meaning. Human beings would be no better than animals. Absence of desire would […]
Teachings of Buddhism belie belief in God. The sacred scriptures of Hinduism firmly advocate belief in God termed Brahman in Hinduism… the one and only omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient creator of cosmos (termed Brahmaand in Hinduism). Belief in God as per in scriptures of Hinduism was necessitated only if we desire traveling path of spirituality in present journey of life. […]
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 […]
