Rephrasing everything, human beings on mother earth either manifest destiny or continued living a normal life. We could either live a life of our choosing or spend it as destined by God Almighty.

Literal reading of Bhagavad Gita does not mean anything. Precepts of spirituality detailed in Bhagavad Gita can only be understood by indulging in introspection, self enquiry… logical reasoning.

Para Brahma, consciousness as you say is termed Brahman in Upanishads (independent treatises). If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty (Brahman). And we were primarily a soul atman, a spirit on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations that entailed an earthly journey of 96.4 million years. Being the […]
Story of my personal experience given here – Karma is the inherent ingredient of cosmic life (dross impurities within a soul atman) removing which a soul atman finally reached stage of absolute purity, when human beings gained enlightenment.

When we indulged self in welfare of […]

The limit of consciousness is infinity. This is what was achieved by all enlightened souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed.

Once a bud becomes a flower, it could never become a bud again. Once a […]
The most beautiful thing in this world given to mankind by God was power of free will, following which human beings gained enlightenment in their lifetime… became a Mahavira or Buddha!

As ordained by God, stage of enlightenment can be reached only by scuttling Moha forever. As a Lady Moha (extreme emotional attachment) was one thing that was extremely difficult to negate. In absence of Moha, we could never overpower five senses and mind. Unless we establish absolute control over five senses and mind, stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana), stage […]
Idol worship relates to path of bhakti yoga. In present times one reaches God via path of jnana yoga and karma yoga, never path of bhakti yoga alone.

Who says a soul gets punished when it goes to hell? In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna simply says that going to heaven or hell was a property of soul atman, never the manifest physical human form.

Every single human being on mother earth had a dual personality. One, the physical manifest self controlled by ego and the other, the world of soul atman existing in our heart.

As God Almighty was one and only one termed Brahman in Hinduism… all other gods and goddesses were creation of mankind. As it was not possible for mankind to visualize, conceptualize the invincible, the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God… various manifestations of God were created by mankind. Like in Hinduism those worshipping air created God Varuna, those worshipping sun […]
Hinduism believes in continuity of life. Because of this belief, scriptures of Hinduism say the journey of life truly belongs to our soul atman, and never the manifest physical human form. Before manifesting human form for the first time, a soul atman has already manifested in insect, plant and animal life. In 1.1 million manifestations in human form a […]
One human life differed from another owing to mental prowess alone. One with stronger willpower could overpower one that had weaker willpower.
