Not getting into technicalities of karma… in present life our indulgence in karma should be to neutralize negative residual balance of karma from previous manifestations. That would kill all bondages of all previous manifest lives. When I wanted to clean myself of all bondages of previous manifest lives, by hit and trial method I took above 15 years before […]
Never ever in my life I tried to find what I was in my past life. Scriptures of Hinduism clearly tell us that present journey of life lay in domain of souls’ atmans. Indulging in past life regression, if I came to know that my best friend in present life was the cause of my death in previous manifestation… […]
Our belief in reincarnation stems from the fact that something within our heart fluttered all the time. Those who traveled path of truthfulness all the time could hear the sweet small promptings of our soul atman coming from within our heart. It is this voice of soul atman that makes us believe in Lord Krishna and his teachings of Bhagavad […]
From humanity point of view we called it rebirth because the human body dies. From cosmic point of view souls’ atmans word indestructible, could neither be created or destroyed. They manifest a new body after another. For a soul atman the entire journey of 8.4 million manifestations was one single span of life. Call whatever we may… rebirth or reincarnation, […]
If we believed in existence of God, we also must believe in presence of souls atmans. No soul atman could manifest form after another (cleanse itself of dross impurities within) in absence of reincarnation, rebirth. The precept of reincarnation was an absolute fact of cosmic life. For souls atmans to evolve further… reincarnation, rebirth was an absolute must. As […]
Avatars, God manifest in human form come every 3500 to 5000 years. Lord Krishna was God incarnate in human form. In Dwapar Yuga in times of extreme strife, tribulation advent Lord Krishna to re-establish Dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness)! The coming of a God incarnate necessitates when society reached its lowest ebb, a point of no return. […]
Swami Vivekananda did not gain enlightenment in his lifetime. He could have easily done so had he wanted to. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa his spiritual master asked Swami Vivekananda, why he had come to him if his goal of life was not reaching God… he politely replied only to have a glimpse of God Almighty, affirm my faith in existence of […]
From six years of age I have followed the character of Lord Krishna. I wanted to follow path of spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. Even though born in a Jain family, I throughout followed dictates of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita! Jnana (wisdom) contained in Bhagavad Gita is epitome of spirituality. I never wanted to lag at any stage […]
After gaining liberation from cycle of birth and death, a pure soul atman gains entry into kingdom of God (Vaikuntha in Hinduism). Where exists Vaikuntha, kingdom of God… no one knows. What we know is a liberated soul atman could venture to any part of cosmos at will. If someone on mother earth seeks blessings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, […]
Everything contained in scriptures could only be understood through path of introspection, contemplation… logical reasoning. We could never understand gist of scriptures literally. Whether we choose to travel path of religion or spirituality depends upon our residual balance of karma of the moment. Karma was the inherent governing precept of cosmic life. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man […]
Words like sorry fell in the domain of English vocabulary, having nothing to do with absolute reality. What works in the field of spirituality was undergoing prayaschitta (atonement) for sins committed by us in present or past. There was no other alternative. Bad deeds of present or past could only be undone by indulging in good karma, positive karma in […]
Spiritual awakening can be realized only by negating karma to zero. Once karma negates to zero, the question of materialism does not arise. An enlightened one, an awakened one… worked for welfare of mankind all the time. For a spiritually awakened person… the whole world becomes one large family. Before starting on spiritual path we need to decide, whether […]
As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism, a negative residual balance of Prarabdha karma from previous manifestations always resulted in bad fate befalling us. A positive residual balance of Prarabdha karma from previous manifestations results in our winning a lottery all of a sudden. This fructifying of Prarabdha karma was all of a sudden, hidden from mankind. If we desire […]
Why a particular child gets born in a particular family… because they were integrally connected through their balance of karma. It is the residual balance of karma at the time of death that decides in which family the child would birth. Similarly, based on our residual balance of karma we invoked thoughts all the time… sometime positive, at other […]
Following path of religion or spirituality is purely a matter of personal choice. It is path of spirituality that directly leads to God Almighty. Spirituality demands our indulgence in sacred texts of different religions of world. Practice of celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years was also necessitated. Spirituality demands our indulgence in contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning at […]
Kundalini awakening is the path, the process and awakened kundalini, the end goal of cosmic life. Once our kundalini awakens fully… Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petalled Lotus) existing in our brain behind forehead opens fully. One immediately reaches stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) forever. The biggest hurdle on path of kundalini awakening was, practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum […]
From about 15 years of age I seriously indulged in shavasna pose of yoga while going to bed in the night. In this way, I could easily contemplate, introspect on God Almighty… indulge in Neti (not this, not this). My best part of yoga meditation was calling for a roundtable conference in subconscious state while lying in shavasna pose of […]
When young, about 8~9 years of age, something within told me to decide once and for all what I wanted to do in life. Since six years of age I was in search of God. If I were to continue on this path, I may lose my family. Rather, I may have to leave the confines of home go to […]
Whenever we had a glimpse into the domain of God Almighty, we experienced a state of total bliss, something that could never be summarized in words. Travelers of spiritual path often experienced such intermittent stages of bliss. When there was only God and you, one experienced periods of extreme ecstasy… total silence! This can only be experienced, never described. […]
Every single suffering results from bad karma indulged by us in present or past. To do away with sufferings, our indulgence in good karma, positive karma all the time was necessitated. Only then we could neutralize negative effects of residual balance of negative karma. Nothing in cosmos happened of its own. Karma was the governing inherent ingredient of cosmic […]
As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism, all lower forms of life had a soul atman within. Every single act of karma was accounted for. For killing a mosquito, we accumulate bad karma. It is possible that killing millions of mosquitoes was equivalent to killing a human being. All was relative. The doctrine of Bhava karma of Jainism clearly says if […]
The biggest misnomer on path of pure spirituality was… we had to learn something from sacred texts. Truth was not so. By indulging in sacred texts, by realizing the hidden inner meaning… we succeeded in removing dross impurities within our soul atman! Jnana wisdom was all about negating karma to zero, never increasing our knowledge. Prime reason why bookish knowledge […]
Following path of yoga meditation, I finally succeeded in reaching God in the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age. It took many years before I could understand meaning of yoga meditation. Yoga is derived from root word yog which in Hindi stood for synthesis, the effort of soul atman trying to merge with Parmatman, […]
Maharishi Ramana was a great exponent of path of self enquiry (path of Neti… not this, not this). He also advocated practicing silence. In the early stages of spiritual pursuit I realized value of teachings of Maharishi Ramana. Lying in shavasna pose of yoga I always indulged in self enquiry (Neti) to the fullest extent. So much so that in […]
For indulgence in yoga meditation we need not leave confines of home. Remaining wherever we are we could progress spiritually, indulge in introspection, contemplation… logical reasoning, self enquiry! How noble a path devised by God Almighty, that human beings could indulge in yoga meditation wherever they be. Even in confines of a prison, one could easily indulge in yoga meditation. […]
Path of spirituality advises human beings to indulge in celibacy, to channelize sexual energy towards the end goal of life. For the purpose of progeny, a maximum of one or two indulgences per month were permitted. In the circumstances, homosexuality was totally ruled out, a complete taboo.
