The best part of life was, at whatever spiritual level we leave in present life, we start from the same level in next manifestation. The closing balance of present life becomes opening balance for next manifestation. Life in cosmos moves like the balance sheet of an accountant. Whatever the residual balance of karma at the time of death, based […]
Everything contained in scriptures of different religions of world was symbolic. There always was a hidden underlying meaning. Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita simply stood for consciousness, soul atman existing within our heart. Lord Krishna existing in our heart was sarthi (charioteer) of the human body manifested by our soul atman. By traveling path of truthfulness, we could hear […]
Enlightened ones had no personality at all. They were pure embodiment of truth and only truth. All enlightened souls were God personified in human form. Only after killing ego, overpowering five senses and mind does one reach stage of enlightenment. For an enlightened one there was nothing that one could call ones own. For an enlightened one the whole […]
From the day I understood correct meaning of yoga, teachings concerning Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana became my ultimate goal of life. I somehow realized from within that these two souls gained enlightenment in their lifetime. If I could duplicate the path taken by them! I started indulging in path of jnana yoga to understand hidden underlying meaning […]
If I were living in tundra region where vegetation was scarce (rather non-existent) and if I wanted to pursue spirituality, then consuming meat would not bore any sin. But living in civilized society, if I consume meat which could be avoided, then I was definitely committing some sin. Sin as defined by Lord Krishna was… for the sake of […]
One could indulge in karma, nishkama karma way of life only if we worked for welfare of mankind all the time. Nishkama karma way of life simply means working like a trustee for whom everything all the time belonged to God Almighty. We were only an instrument in hands of God Almighty doing his bidding all the time. A true […]
I relate to God for I believe in world of souls atmans, the consciousness existing in our heart. The sermon of Bhagavad Gita given by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata clearly indicates that we were intimately connected to God Almighty. If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty. As we […]
Human beings gained immortality not in physical form but as a soul atman, the consciousness within. Immortality directly relates to domain of souls atmans. Traveling path of spirituality, indulging in sacred texts of different religions of world when human beings finally gained enlightenment…. they emancipated forever from cycle of birth and death. This stage of absolute purity is permanent, irreversible! […]
Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era descended on mother earth in Dwapar Yuga. He came on mother earth to re-establish Dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness). As everything contained in scriptures was symbolic, allegorical… Lord Krishna rightly represents soul atman existing in our heart. The prime reason why Lord Krishna is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer)! […]
If we go by Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna clearly says that the teachings of Bhagavad Gita must only be rendered to one who deserves it. In earlier times, Shudras were considered incompetent to indulge in Vedas. But Bhagavad Gita comes to rescue of all. Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita clearly says that division in society was to be […]
Whatever family we were born in, whatever be our stage of life… all depended upon residual balance of karma at the time of death in previous manifestation! In all stages of life karma was governing. It is the child that chooses its parents and not vice versa. Why so? After death of human body, the released soul atman immediately […]
Evolution as detailed in scriptures of Hinduism occurred as follows: Our soul atman initially manifests form of amoeba (single cell formation), the first manifestation in cosmic life cycle. It further evolves into multi-cell formation, insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the human form. All human beings directly evolved from stage of animals. Before evolving into human […]
Not directly but most Jain families not only believed in Hindu gods but also kept idols of them in their house. During Diwali time idols of Ganesha and Lakshmi could be found in most Jain homes. Jainism was no different from Hinduism, having same culture… almost same following. One aspect of Jainism was… lesser belief in rituals. This was […]
The only logical reason behind the saying, “Radhe Krishna” was… the status of mother was always above father. As Radha denotes mother earth and Lord Krishna… consciousness, soul atman existing in our heart… in absence of life supporting planets like mother earth evolving in cosmos… no soul atman could never manifest a body. For Cosmos to continue, for life to […]
The personality of Radha signifies mother earth. In spiritual parlance, in the domain of God Almighty… in absence of life supporting planets like mother earth… no soul atman could purify self. The importance of mother compared to father was never less rather it was more. For souls atmans to work out their karma, remove dross impurities within… existence of life […]
All human beings who succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment as detailed in Bhagavad Gita were from India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha) except Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. In the entire history of mankind thousands of men gained enlightenment in their lifetime. Comparatively only two ladies till date succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment… the famous philosopher saint Gargi and Maitreyi, the […]
The story of Radha and Krishna must always be looked upon from allegorical point of view. As everything contained in scriptures was symbolic… Lord Krishna represents consciousness, soul atman existing in our body. Radha represents mother earth, the planet Earth. Why importance is given to mother earth vis-à-vis souls atmans is detailed below! Ever since occurrence of big bang […]
I was born in a Jain family. Though I am unable to distinguish Jainism from Hinduism, I am giving my personal perspective how I perceived Lord Krishna from six years of age. I wanted to believe in God, see him. When I ritually followed my mother to Jain temples, I somehow could not believe in idols of Tirthankaras (preceptors) […]
The moment human beings reached stage of enlightenment… our consumption in one month reduces to one single loaf of bread. Eight hours of regular sleep is covered in 5 to 8 minutes. One could practically work 23 hours and 55 minutes every single day. In the last 150 years amongst 7 billion people existing world over only two spiritual […]
Can spiritual enlightenment be gained online through yoga classes? If we look at meaning and purport of yoga… yoga is derived from root word yog which in Hindi stood for synthesis, effort of soul atman trying to merge with God Almighty, Parmatman (Brahman). In Hindi two yog two equals four. Journey of spirituality is always traveled all alone. So […]
We can scuttle karma, end cycle of karma… succeed in establishing absolute control over five senses and mind by indulging in jnana wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita. As nothing in Bhagavad Gita could be understood literally, our taking path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning was necessitated. It is only jnana wisdom that succeeds in cutting darkness of karma. Just by […]
Enlightenment can be gained only by negating our karma to zero. We need establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. By visualization of enlightenment of others, we gained nothing spiritually. The journey of spirituality is always traveled all alone. Not even God Almighty interferes in our working. Similar as a bud could not become a flower looking at […]
Literally reading Bhagavad Gita one gains nothing! Following path of contemplation, logical reasoning we need to reach the hidden underlying meaning. Indulging in Bhagavad Gita any human being world over, belonging to any faith, religion or belief could progress spiritually to any extent. Spiritual progress directly depends on karma indulged. Remaining positive all the time, practicing truthfulness 100%, having 100% […]
In human form, a soul atman has a maximum of 1.1 million manifestations before it reaches stage of absolute purity. In its lifetime a soul atman manifests (reincarnates) a maximum of 8.4 million bodies. The initial 7.3 million manifestations occurred in insect, plant and animal life. Reaching stage of enlightenment was not that easy. God Almighty ordained a long […]
The end of present Kali Yuga is near. Though literally people predict 427,000 years more to go! At the end of present decade the world is likely to usher into world war 3, a man-made calamity… a war of gigantic proportions (Mahabharata of present times). The end of world war 3 would announce end of Kali Yuga and dawn of […]
Age is the most important factor on path of pure spirituality. Those who succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment in their lifetime started young. Still, this should not dissuade us from traveling spiritual path as at whatever level we leave in present manifestation, we shall start the next journey from the very same level. Reaching stage of moksha salvation […]
