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? State of enlightenment was beyond conceptualization until one experiences it. Even one who reaches Mount Everest could give only a fair idea what Mount Everest was all about! 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. Before Siddhartha Gautama was born not in hundreds but thousands in erstwhile Bharatvarsha (now India) reached enlightenment in their lifetime! As ordained by God Almighty in a time period of 100 to […]
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. King Janaka (father of Sita in Ramayana) was also an enlightened one and so was Sage Yajnavalkya (composer and compiler of most voluminous Brihadaranyaka Upanishad), spiritual guru of King Janaka […]
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 […]
What do we think when we put money in the donation box placed in temples, that it goes directly to the abode of God! The gullible public fails to realize that their hard earned money was getting pilfered, wasted. It was neither safe with public trusts nor the local government. If we truly love god, we must directly serve god […]
Whenever we indulged in something fishy, untruthful… a voice from within our heart prompted us to do the right thing. This is the voice of soul atman, the consciousness within coming from our heart. It has been proved beyond doubt in Bhagavad Gita that we were primarily a spirit, a soul atman manifesting human form to work out its karma, […]
Politics truly had no place in field of pure spirituality. A true spiritual master could never indulge in field of politics. Spirituality was much above mundane affairs of life let alone politics. Spiritual leaders indulging in politics failed to understand, spirituality was distinct from religion. Many so-called spiritual leaders in India indulged in political affairs messing it all up. Spirituality […]
Tandava nritya, the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva represents the society reaching its lowest ebb. The Tandava dance gets necessitated when Dharma (righteousness) needs to be re-established. Society finally reaches a point of no return. To put the society back on its pedestal comes, a savior, messiah to cleanse the society of all its ills. Tandava nritya, the cosmic dance […]
Lord Shiva allegorically represents an enlightened one coupled with powers of Chanakya, the most able administrator in the entire history of mankind. To save lives of millions of soldiers and countrymen Chanakya got 100 kings eliminated in one night. One human being amongst us, unable to bear the torment in the society takes upon himself the task of cleansing the […]
If we whiled away precious sexual energy through pure physical channels then indulgence in yoga meditation meant nothing! We could fool others, even god but not our real self existing in our heart. The present journey of human life was undertaken by our soul atman existing in our heart. For a soul atman to reach stage of absolute purity, […]
Unless we have a definite goal in life, our boat of life being rudderless goes round and round in the ocean. If we had a definite goal, we could channelize all our energies behind that single goal of life. By practicing absolute celibacy we could even gain enlightenment in present life. If spirituality was not our path, to establish […]
Our idea of God Almighty (Brahman) was totally misconceived. No doubt all human beings on mother earth were sons and daughters of god. Our soul atman manifested us to cleanse itself of dross impurities within. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna, every single human being had a spark of divinity within to reach stage of enlightenment and finally […]
Hinduism scriptures clearly state present journey of life belongs to our soul atman, the spirit existing in our heart. We also called this spirit consciousness. This spirit, soul atman within manifested human body, to work out its karma… remove dross impurities within! In fact we were a spiritual being manifesting human body. Our traveling spiritual path itself indicates that […]
Ifs and buts carried no meaning in spiritual world. Everything in world of spirits, consciousness was absolute. If we were a spiritual being manifesting human form… we were! If Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says so, then as a seeker we should accept it. In absence of happiness what value of sufferings! Inversely in absence of sufferings what value […]
The concept of beauty as detailed in Hinduism scriptures relates to inner beauty, never external. The external beauty was temporal, would fade with time. The inner beauty not only persists but pervades future manifestations. After death of human body based on residual balance of karma our soul atman manifest a new body. The closing balance of present life becomes opening […]
Instead of indulging open-endedly in the vast paraphernalia of Hinduism scriptures, we must first form a definite goal in life… what exactly we wanted to read! Once our goal is final we could indulge in requisites. One single book containing philosophies of best writers of Indology was just not possible. When I started in search of God six years […]
If the goal of life was fixed where was the hurdle! Go after it with all eggs in one basket. Burn all bridges behind. Have absolute faith in God. Nothing could stop one from manifesting absolute success. Frustration belonged to those whose journey of life was like a rudderless boat going round and round in the ocean. Channelize all […]
Mere reading of scriptures never helps. All that we learn literally fades away with time. First we must indulge in scriptures through path of contemplation and when we get to know the hidden underlying meaning we must spread the message of scripture to our family members. For this purpose everything contained in Bhagavad Gita was truly an asset. We must […]
When I was young I preferred company of elders in the family. I developed a habit of listening to their stories before going to bed. At that young age I may not have realized the true meaning of all stories but within my interior I was forming my absolute goal of life. By six years of age I started searching […]
If we could meet God Almighty, there were thousands of questions to ask… who were we, where did we come from, what was our purpose of life, our relationship with god… who was God, our relationship with lower forms of life, meaning of dharma, karma… enlightenment, moksha and so on. Indulging in yoga meditation via path of contemplation we […]
J. Robert Oppenheimer indulged in Bhagavad Gita not as a messenger of peace but he was filled with awe when he found that everything concerning atom already existed in Bhagavad Gita, even Upanishads (independent treatises). Whatever was necessary for developing nuclear fusion theory, he took from Bhagavad Gita. Robert Oppenheimer was a physicist with no interest in spirituality whatsoever. […]
Whenever we indulged in something that was wrong from our point of view, we got angry! But from someone else’s angle it may be right. If I follow the golden rule the problem is resolved forever. We must do unto others what we expect them to do unto us. The cause for anger was our one-sidedness. What if I […]
Spirituality is the path that directly leads one to God Almighty. Primarily we were a spirit, a consciousness manifesting human form. To reach this spirit existing in our heart our indulgence in path of spirituality was necessitated. Spirituality was totally distinct from path of religion (rituals). Path of spirituality demands our indulgence in yoga meditation. Our indulgence in jnana […]
Even though a developing nation but spiritually India was a fully developed nation, the citadel of spiritual world! Most of the money inflow in present times came from software engineers spread all over the world. United States of America is superpower number one not only in paper but in deeds. Following the election trend was normal for situation worldwide was […]
If I chance to meet a really beautiful girl and proposed her to marry me, what if she said “No “! What alternative did I have except to say, ‘For God’s sake’ please marry me. I would not disappoint you, ever…My dear Princess! ‘For God’s sake’ means… in the name of God, for fear of God… on behalf of […]
Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says that all worship, prayers must be directly offered to Brahman (God) the one and only creator of cosmos instead of various attributes, hordes of gods and goddesses. This will save us precious time and energy in searching for right attribute. As Brahman was always Nirakaar in form (having no form) we must offer all […]
If we look at the whole scenario of evolution, karma and reincarnation (rebirth)… everything becomes crystal clear. We were primarily a spiritual being manifesting human form. As a soul atman we manifest human form to work out our karma, remove dross impurities within. After death of human body the released soul atman immediately manifests a new body to start […]
