In entire cosmos karma was governing. Life evolved in cosmic life cycle based on karma. The closing balance of present life becomes the opening balance for next manifestation. Based on the residual balance of karma at the time of death our soul atman manifests the new form! Insects evolved into plants, plants into animals and animals into human beings! […]
From six years of age I was totally fascinated by Lord Krishna as stories about Lord Krishna did rounds in my house. The elders in the family after dinner indulged in telling stories about Lord Krishna and other enlightened souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. At no stage of life did I disbelieve in Lord […]
Both time and space were relative measures that existed only in physical manifest world. For a traveler of spiritual path both time and space become non-existent moment one reaches stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi (state of absolute nothingness) when nothing exists but we as a pure soul atman and God Almighty. The barrier of time and space did not exist in […]
In spiritual terminology, whenever we contemplated we became our true inner self, our soul atman… the consciousness within! After all it is we as a soul atman that wants reaching stage of absolute purity at the earliest. We as a soul atman were the absolute master and controller of human life and not the manifest physical human form. Whenever […]
When a serious traveler of spiritual path realizes that meditation was best indulged via path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning; half the spiritual journey was completed! In present times how many people world over indulged in meditation via path of contemplation, the numbers could be counted on fingers! From six years of age I indulged in meditation every second […]
An enlightened one all the time worked for welfare of mankind from the beginning of life. Whatever the available means, an enlightened one always indulges in the best. An enlightened one always was the saving grace for entire mankind. In absence of enlightened souls manifesting mother earth life would really become meaningless. The world was truly saved by an […]
The arrogance writ large on the face of Hillary Clinton even before all in America voted was the main cause of defeat for Hillary Clinton. She lived in a world of pretension. She reflected that she had already won even before the elections were over. None was responsible for defeat of Hillary Clinton than herself. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma […]
For most Hindus in India, money has become an end in itself! Hoarding wealth for many lifetimes was common. People in West were materialistic yet open from within. They were materialistic yet not deeply attached to materialistic pursuits alone. They lived in the moment and enjoyed life the most. Materialism in India was at its peak. From beginning to […]
All my life from six years of age I never directly indulged in Bhagavad Gita. 31 years of indulgence in spirituality, path of yoga meditation finally landed me in laps of God Almighty 37 years of age. That very moment everything contained in cosmos was at my tips. Everything contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads was like ABCD as if […]
Hinduism scriptures explicitly detailed total surrender to God as a path to gaining enlightenment! Chaitanya Mahaprabhu succeeded in reaching God via total surrender to God. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana both initially started in search of God via path of bhakti yoga that demands total surrender to God. Finding total surrender to God in present times almost impossible, […]
At this stage of life just form a goal and go after it with all eggs in one basket. Only then you could channelize all your energies behind that single goal of life. In absence of a goal, life was confusing… we frittered our energies doing nothing. Get a copy of “Law of Success” by Napoleon Hill and you […]
The spiritual path was totally distinct from material world… we have to choose one between the two! We just could not ride two boats simultaneously. Most in India did that only to succumb to failure. Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says the biggest Yogi of all was one who could indulge in spirituality even while living in Grihastha ashram […]
The greatest teaching of Hinduism lay in Bhagavad Gita, the sermon given to mankind (Arjuna) by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata! Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says we were primarily a spirit, spiritual being on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations that entailed an earthly journey of approximately 96.4 million years. We as a soul […]
From six years of age I indulged in contemplation all my life. When people said they were getting bored in isolation, I realized such human beings did not have a definite goal in life. As my goal of life was fixed from six years of age… I did not have time in life even for friends. Always living in isolation […]
Mantras were effective only if we understood their inherent inner meaning. All my life in search of God I was given many mantras by various religious gurus. Before indulging in them I wanted to understand the inherent hidden underlying meaning but none of these so-called religious masters explained anything. I did not follow a single mantra the meaning of which […]
In the initial stages of spiritual pursuit I came across this analogy “Nothing comes from nothing” but inherently I did not accept it. How could something come out of nothing! The moment I indulged in Bhagavad Gita everything became crystal clear. God Almighty was that singularity (Brahman in Hinduism) explosion of which resulted in creation of present cosmos. The […]
Indulging in teachings of Bhagavad Gita for a very long time… from six years of age to 37, I finally conclude that one must indulge in Bhagavad Gita only if our goal of life was spiritual. People in West who did not know anything about Bhagavad Gita were fairly successful in physical manifest life. For one whose goal of […]
After full spiritual awakening, after reaching stage of enlightenment… after becoming a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed… we do not expect anyone to indulge in a sexual relationship! However if the enlightened one succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment even while living in family as recommended by Lord Krishna and Bhagavad Gita… one could still enjoy sex […]
As of today I could only recommend Rishikesh in Uttarakhand… a serene and blissful place to meditate contemplate in isolation. Many religious centres with places of stay are located here. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161211) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: a meeting point for people from all walks of life […]
Through limited power of senses (including eyes) we could never view happenings in domain of God Almighty, world of souls’ atmans! The word spirituality itself means something relating to spirit, consciousness existing in our heart as our soul atman. Everything relating to spirituality can only be realized, never visualized! By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God […]
The relationship between one human being and another was limited to present life but the karmic bondage between one soul atman and another carries on to next life. If we as a soul atman desire the karmic bondage with someone to be burnt in totality, we must inherently ask for forgiveness from that soul atman forever. We must also be […]
Our physical actions do not relate to precept of moksha in any way. Moksha salvation is reached after human beings reached stage of enlightenment. To gain enlightenment in present life negation of karma to zero was necessitated. Playing hide and seek with karma was to no avail. Karma can be negated to zero by establishing absolute control over five […]
People in West cared for human life much more than money, for them money was only a means to an end never an end in itself as is the case with most Indians! In India people keep waiting for advent of Kalki avatar as was written in books of Hindu philosophy. In West no one was aware of Kali Yuga; […]
Meditation is always indulged via path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning! If our goal of life was spiritual, where was the problem in indulging in contemplation? To understand anything in scriptures, one need following path of contemplation as nothing could be understood literally. When we had a definite goal in life and that too spiritual, the zeal to pursue […]
The present day science-fiction movies made us imagine unreal things in the real world. We think of human life in terms of cyborg, something that could exist forever! The absolute reality of life was different. The human body was designed by God Almighty for an average life of 100 years. Beyond that vital parts of our body start failing like […]
Immortality relates to spirituality, never religion (path of rituals)! Traveling path of spirituality when human beings gained enlightenment in their lifetime, the soul atman within reaches stage of absolute purity forever! In absence of dross impurities within, the purified soul atman emancipates forever from cycle of birth and death… reaching state of immortality! Indulging in religious practices (rituals) one […]
When drunk, there was less pretension and more of truthfulness. It is presence of this truth that we invoked clearer thoughts than before. The ego in drunken state reduces considerably. In absence of ego (Aham in Hinduism), one was nearer to truth. In drunken state one exercised free will, power of discrimination more freely than before. By: Vijay Kumar […]
The power of human intellect was unlimited. The human brain incessantly invoked thousands of thoughts every second of life. We are all imbibed with free will, power of discrimination that distinguishes right from wrong. If our buddhi (intellect) thinks otherwise, it will immediately invoke a different thought totally different from earlier one. Everything depends upon our interest in the subject. […]
In absence of a single goal in life, our thoughts wandered everywhere. To concentrate flow of thoughts, our establishing a single goal of life was necessitated. Thoughts continue flowing to our brain incessantly. We can stem the tide of thoughts to our brain by reducing our desires and wishes gradually. Imagine if we had 10 smaller goals of life […]
Control over mind power comes automatically if we succeed establishing control over five senses. Thousands of thoughts flowed through our brain incessantly. We could stem the flow of these thoughts only by establishing absolute control over five senses. Control over five senses demands reducing our desires and wishes to minimal. Indulging in nishkama karma yoga we need negating our […]
