For travelers of spiritual path intermittent glimpses into domain of God were common. One could experience bliss, ecstasy at different moments of spiritual pursuit. The moment we realize we have reached level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed or Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa or Maharishi Ramana… we shall get to know that we have gained enlightenment, also termed Brahma […]
If our goal of life was; knowing God then our indulgence in path of spirituality was necessitated. For this indulgence in Bhagavad Gita and 11 primary Upanishads suffices. Commentaries on Bhagavad Gita and 11 primary Upanishads were available with Gita press, Gorakhpur, India. All these commentaries contained the original text, transliteration followed by the commentary. They have both Hindi and […]
Becoming enlightened and engaging in work… such a concept did not exist in spiritual world. Stage of enlightenment can only be reached by a human being who successfully engaged in service of mankind all the time like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. Enlightenment is reached negating karma to zero forever. In absence of karma how could […]
If enlightenment could be gained that easily, through meditation music… not in thousands but millions worldwide would have reached stage of enlightenment. Music connects human beings to God but it had no further role to play. Enlightenment can be gained only by traveling path of spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. There was no second alternative. By: Vijay Kumar […]
Whatever we thought would take thousands of years, a few decades before now was accomplished in few years. The time gap between projection and actual achievement is reducing. Everything is resulting from human thinking prowess. We are slowly becoming more and more intelligent day by day. Whatever was accomplished by a five-year kid in recent past is accomplished by a […]
When one develops spiritual affinity our attachment to money ceases to exist. For a spiritual traveler only the bare necessities exist. One requires money only for day-to-day activities of life. If one were married (in Grihastha ashram), then money was necessitated! But for a spiritual traveler it was very difficult to earn money. At the most one could try ones […]
Interest in path of spirituality develops automatically, everything comes from within. None world over could be forced to travel path of spirituality. When very young religious stories did rounds in our house! In the night before going to bed all children sat with elders to listen to mesmerizing stories about Indian culture, Hinduism… path of spirituality! Whenever the topic […]
The only purpose of spiritual enlightenment was gaining permanent release from cycle of birth and death forever… becoming a pure soul atman in the cosmic journey of life. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161104) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: a meeting point for people from all walks of life interested in […]
Yoga meditation is always indulged via path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning. It does not matter whether the place was soundproof or not. In the initial stages of yoga meditation, lesser noise was preferable. In the later stages more the noise, better the introspection within. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. […]
All enlightened ones used their brain 100% compared to normal human beings who used their brain only 1 to 2%, the remaining always lying dormant. For an enlightened one it was easy to know other enlightened ones existing on mother earth. Even without interacting one could telepathically know everything. Enlightenment means becoming a pure soul atman forever. As a pure […]
Spiritual enlightenment could never be gained via external stimulation. One needs indulgence in path of jnana yoga to assimilate hidden underlying principles of spirituality contained in sacred texts of different religions of world. Negating karma to zero was mandated and so was overpowering five senses and mind. Practice of absolute celibacy for 12 years was a necessity. 100% faith in […]
Everything relating to spirituality was unacceptable to scientists, psychologist and neuroscientists! Something that could not be measured by parameters of science was unacceptable. Whatever happens in our brain was beyond psychologists and neuroscientists to judge. Normal human beings used their brain 1 to 2%; enlightened human beings like Mahavira and Gautama Buddha used their brain 100%. Imagine if Mahavira, […]
What connects manifest human beings to the invisible, abstract values of life! It was only our thought process that connects mankind to God Almighty, world of souls’ atmans. Going by this analogy how thoughts could be a barrier to gaining enlightenment! It has rightly been said, a human being is sum total of ones thoughts at a given moment of […]
Enlightenment in absence of practice of absolute celibacy was just not possible. Practice of celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) that seekers world over often discussed constituted hardly 10% of total job. Actual celibacy was practiced mentally. Eradicating flow of negative thoughts to our brain in totality is what absolute celibacy all about. Abstaining from a sexual relationship was a petty matter hardly […]
When Abhimanyu was still in the womb, Arjuna narrated a story to his wife about how to enter a chakravayuha. By the time Arjuna could narrate how to come out of chakravayuha, the wife fell asleep and Abhimanyu could never know how to get out of chakravayuha. This is the literal meaning conveyed by the story but the whole episode […]
Scholars who could understand and interpret Vedas and Upanishads are very limited in present times. Precisely, it is not just the literal interpretation but reaching the hidden underlying meaning of sacred text that was important. Even the best of the best I have come across in present times had little knowledge. If we desire indulging in Vedas and Upanishads then […]
Everything relating to rituals, the exact procedure was contained in Vedas but not Upanishads. All Upanishads dealt with spiritual aspects of life having nothing to do with rituals (religious practices). To reach God, to realize God… jnana wisdom contained in Upanishads was necessitated, never the ritualistic procedures contained in Vedas. In present times none could reach God following path of […]
What use reading the scriptures ritually, literally! No matter how many times one reads Bhagavad Gita nothing becomes clear. Upanishads (independent treatises) deal with spiritual aspect of life. Only those desirous of traveling spiritual path must indulge in Upanishads, never otherwise. Unlike Bible and Quran Upanishads contained much deeper aspects of spirituality that could never be assimilated literally. It […]
As per doctrine of Advaita Vedanta propagated by Adi Shankaracharya other than Brahman (God Almighty) nothing existed in cosmos. Brahman was the only truth of life. Based on this analogy and doctrine of Maya (veil of illusion) propagated by Adi Shankaracharya… the present manifest world could exist only in thoughts of God Almighty. If we manifest human beings exist, […]
When young six years of age something all the time tickled in my heart. At that time I did not know what it was. Discussions with elders in the family gave me an insight. Probably it was my soul atman, the consciousness within that activated from time to time. I was proved right in my surmise. As I walked path […]
Whenever seekers indulged in path of spirituality, yoga meditation… we activated portions of brain that lay dormant all the time. This results in our experiencing sensations mostly in head, sometimes in body. As we progress spiritually, such sensations would keep increasing. It is no denying the fact that normal human beings used their brain 1 to 2% but enlightened ones […]
The moment we form a definite goal in life, motivation automatically follows. It was absence of a goal that we felt falling in the rut of life. If we really desire success in life, we must follow our passion within. There is a vast difference between living life and passing life. If circumstances so prevail that we could not […]
Anything related to physical manifest world including intoxicants, psychedelics did not matter on path of pure spirituality. Journey of spirituality was always conducted through path of contemplation, logical reasoning… introspection. There was totally no space for indulgence in substances boosting neuro system. All such experiences were temporary often resulting in severe impairment. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man […]
When young what I liked best was… we could indulge in spirituality to become one with God. We were a soul atman that got mired in impurities. If we could cleanse self of dross impurities within, we could again rejoin the source God Almighty himself (Brahman in Hinduism). I was born in a Jain family. I spent most of […]
As dross impurities within our soul atman gradually lessened, we become more and more aware. As we controlled our desires and wishes, control over five senses establishes. Control over five senses comes gradually step-by-step. As our progress, proportionately our spiritual achievement! Greater the indulgence in nishkama karma yoga, lesser our ego! Slowly we start experiencing states of higher consciousness that […]
Human form, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle was competent to decide for self our goal of life. Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism, preceptor) rightly said; do not preach unless you become an enlightened one. Why would we want to create a situation, an environment unless the other desired it from within! The initiative, zeal to travel path […]
If a shudra was transferred to the house of a Brahmin, does that mean one was competent to gain wisdom of Vedas! Migration from one religion to another, does it mean anything on path of pure spirituality? Spiritual progress can only be achieved by indulgence in contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning. Only then we could realize the true hidden underlying cosmic […]
What do we really mean by third eye opening? No sooner our kundalini awakens fully, Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petalled Lotus) existing in our brain behind forehead opens fully. One immediately becomes an enlightened one… a bodhi, a Jina… a Mahavira forever! The opening of Sahasra Pushpa in our brain behind forehead is termed as opening of third eye, a […]
Duality was part of nature if we have day, we also have night. If we experienced happiness, we also underwent our part of sufferings. If we have fire, we also have water. Non-duality was nature of Brahman (God Almighty). As detailed in doctrine of Advaita Vedanta propagated by Adi Shankaracharya, other than Brahman (God, creator of cosmos) nothing existed […]
Normal human beings relate to physical manifest world. They had no idea about the inner world… world of our soul atman, consciousness existing in our heart. Dominated by an ego they could never realize the world of souls’ atmans. Traveling path of spirituality when seekers subdued their ego to zero, they found that original master and controller of life on […]
