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. Karma can be negated to zero by establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. “Dharma” … “Your right to […]
Bhagavad Gita conveys one and only one message… the journey in human form was ephemeral. What was permanent was world of souls’ atmans.

By: Vijay Kumar “Atma […]
We indulge in karma… good or bad! We can burn bad karma only by prayaschitta (Atonement)… there was no other shortcut. It was through path of yoga meditation one learnt intricacies of doing prayaschitta. As we indulged in bad karma, we could also indulge in good karma, positive karma most of time. When we indulged self in welfare of […]
True love as per Bhagavad Gita is one when we worked for welfare of entire mankind all the time. Kabirdas expressed value of true love in his couplets all the time. Guru Gobind Singh expressed value of true love when he spent Rs. 2/= (given for purchase of groceries) on purchasing blankets for poor. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… […]
True silence (Mauna) can be practiced only by one in search of God. Maharishi Ramana was a great exponent of it. Power of silence helps us concentrate all our energies behind a single goal of life.

Even after reaching stage of self realization, for undoing ills of day-to-day life… I daily indulge in asking forgiveness from God Almighty for bad deeds committed knowingly or unknowingly. This helps cleansing my thought process. Invoking positive thoughts most of time is the most important ingredient of cosmic life. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized […]
As everything contained in Bhagavad Gita could never be understood literally, only enlightened ones become knower of all. In the last about 150 years only two human beings world over reached stage of enlightenment… Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana! In a period of 100 to 200 years, a maximum of one or two persons become knower of all. […]
By looking within… by listening to sweet small inner voice of our soul atman, we could definitely recall our calling in life. As the present journey of life is undertaken by our soul atman, the spirit within… it is our soul atman that would finally decide our journey of life. Our soul atman resides in our heart. Pursuing something […]
Acharya Rajneesh (née Osho) and also Jiddu Krishnamurti did not gain enlightenment in their lifetime. Clarity in spiritual writings was fundamentally available in teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana… the two souls who gained enlightenment in their lifetime. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161018) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: […]
Any human being world over who had the capability of indulging in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises), possessing some knowledge of Sanskrit can easily gain enlightenment in ones lifetime. Though Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads form part of Hinduism scriptures, their teachings were universal in nature.

Non–indulgence in bad karma promotes us towards path of positive thinking. Thinking good of all, we could always indulge in positive thinking most of time. When we placed benefit of others before individual self, we were positive in our approach of life. Happiness in life flowed our way when we pursued a definite goal in life. In absence 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. By traveling path of spirituality, our awareness reached its zenith. One day, we finally connected with God Almighty on one-to-one basis. Being physically aware of surroundings is one thing, being aware of our true […]
The greatest gift of God to mankind was presence of free will, exercising which human beings finally reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation moksha to free self from cycle of birth and death forever. Nothing, not even God Almighty interfered in working of those who exercised their free will. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The […]
If scriptures of Buddhism say, everything was impermanent… nowhere it is spelt out that state of enlightenment, the end stage was impermanent. After 12 years of tapasya (practice of absolute celibacy) human beings finally reached stage of kaivalya jnana (stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi). 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! How noble to realize that human form was the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. It was only in human form our soul atman, the spirit within […]
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. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, the guru of Swami Vivekananda initially started in search of God via path of bhakti yoga but finding God could not be reached via path of bhakti yoga […]
There were two aspects to human life… the physical form and the subtle in form of consciousness, soul atman existing within our heart. Remaining physical we could never understand domain of God Almighty. To understand anything relating to God… our diving deep into the bottomless pit of jnana (wisdom) contained in scriptures of different religions of world was necessitated. […]
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. As detailed in Upanishads (independent treatises), both heaven and hell (swarga and naraka in Hinduism) were places for stay of souls atmans. […]
Searching for something that was dear to our heart, following our passion we should choose our profession goal of life. Anything that did not fall within parameters of passion… we would fail in that undertaking. To gain absolute success in life… our following desires of our heart were necessitated. For deep within our heart resides our soul atman, the consciousness […]
Mental peace can only be achieved if we engaged self in something that was dear to our heart, a passion indulging in which we lost track of time. Right from six years of age I was so engrossed in search of God, not for a single moment in life I got bored. Mental peace was at its extreme. Even in […]
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. Prompted by ego sometimes we become extremely negative. It was at this moment unknowingly we hurt self. Our soul atman, the spirit within always guides us on right […]
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. Picking or no picking of negative energy solely depended on our own willpower. If our willpower was strong, not even God Almighty could interfere in that. Those in search of God always encounter God when he […]
