The moment one gains enlightenment, there were two paths to follow… one taken by Gautama Buddha and other by Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism). Gautama Buddha gained enlightenment at the ripe age of 80. By that time his body was so frail that he preferred leaving the mortal frame at age 81. On the contrary Mahavira reached stage of […]
Everything flows from within. If we were not passionate about anything, there is a possibility we did not have a fixed goal in life. Like a rudderless boat going round and round in the ocean, we engage ourselves in anything but never concentrate all our energies behind a single goal of life. If we desire true success in life, […]
While traveling path of spirituality in search of God, the concept of heaven and hell became absolutely clear. Both heaven and hell (swarga and naraka in Hinduism) were places for hibernation of souls’ atmans having nothing to do with manifest human form. After death of body on mother earth, the released soul atman immediately manifests a new body based on […]
The origin of cosmos is best detailed in Upanishads (independent treatises) that form part of Hinduism scriptures. As detailed in Upanishads… a cosmos (Brahmaand in Hinduism) starts when God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism) explodes self with a big bang. And what is God Almighty? The cluster of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form is what we […]
Our heart is the residing place for our soul atman, the consciousness within. It is only through pranayama one reaches the inner core of heart, soul atman itself. Mind is the connecting link between souls’ atmans and God Almighty. No human being ever had an independent mind. We all have a brain which acts as a receiving and transmitting […]
The world of heaven or hell (swarga and naraka in Hinduism) is not for human beings to speculate. The domain of heaven and hell laid in sun… heaven in the core of sun where temperatures exceeded millions of degrees centigrade. It was in such high temperatures our soul atman felt comfortable. Hell existed in periphery of sun where temperatures were […]
When young and in search of God, I also wanted to indulge in meditation. Not knowing what meditation was all about… I took help of a relative! He took me to a darkened room where sat many people concentrating on the center of a dimly lit bulb. I had many queries within but there were no answers. None in the […]
Human form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. It was only in human form our soul atman within reached stage of absolute purity when human beings gained enlightenment in their lifetime. Under the circumstances, how it was possible that, human beings did not have absolute control over things? If some things were under control of God […]
The choice of choosing next life never lay in our domain. All was dependent on inscrutable laws of karma. As the residual balance of karma at the time of death of body, accordingly soul atman manifests a new body. If the residual balance of karma demands one taking birth in the house of a laborer, one just could not be […]
As many human beings, as many different paths to God Almighty can there be! There could be many students studying the same subject in a class. All approach the subject with a different viewpoint. Yet one comes first and the other last. Depending on residual balance of karma of the individual, our journey of life progresses! The balance sheet of […]
The communication between God and us develops only when we act as a soul atman, never the manifest physical form. The communication always happens between soul and God. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism we were primarily a soul atman, a spirit on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations. We are a spiritual being manifesting a human […]
Study of Vedas and Upanishads was necessitated if our goal of life was spiritual. Indulgence in spirituality simply means… getting away from your family. And why is it so? Path of spirituality demands that we indulged in world of souls atmans. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads we were primarily a spiritual being on its cosmic journey. To […]
Our presupposition that life is unfair is not applicable to all parts of the world. I spend quite sometime in United States of America. During my sojourn in America I find practically no trace of Kali Yuga. A perfect law and order situation, intervention of politics in day-to-day affairs of life to the minimal… standard of life at its best… […]
How could science explain precept of karma, something that was intangible! Karma was that inherent ingredient of cosmic system due to which life moves ahead in cosmic life cycle. In absence of karma everything in cosmos would simply decay and die. The doctrine of karma is explicitly detailed in scriptures of Hinduism primarily Bhagavad Gita. As detailed in Bhagavad […]
An evil person getting punished is directly governed by laws of karma. If the residual balance of Prarabdha karma from previous manifestations is positive… then no matter how much people indulged in evil, they would never suffer at hands of society or law. The moment positive residual balance of karma from previous manifestations neutralizes… hell breaks loose for such people. […]
Kundalini awakening was integral to path of pure spirituality. Unless our kundalini awakened fully, human beings could never reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation. The full awakening of kundalini announces karma negating to zero forever. The full kundalini awakening means our soul atman reaching stage of absolute purity. Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism) did it and so […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads… life keeps evolving! Every soul atman passes through a maze of 8.4 million manifestations to reach stage of absolute purity. Of the 8.4 million manifestations by a soul atman… the initial 7.3 million manifestations occurred in insect, plant and animal life and in the remaining 1.1 million manifestations one was expected to reach […]
In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna explicitly states that path of spirituality can be successfully traveled only through path of introspection, self enquiry… logical reasoning! Where was the need for a spiritual guru, master to guide us in the spiritual journey of life? When young about 13 years of age I went in search of a guru. No matter how […]
Human form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. It is only in human form our soul atman within finally reaches its zenith… gains absolute purity forever. Enlightenment and finally moksha can be reached only in human form, never lower forms of life. Indulgence in superstition is an unending process. No matter what, as a human being […]
My passion, my love for God and entire mankind keeps me moving all the time. Right from six years of age I never got bored even for a second. All the time I indulged in introspection to reach hidden cosmic truths of life! My goal in life practically from six years of age was fixed… go in search of God! […]
The teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita formed summum bonum of spirituality. There was nothing nobler than wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita, following which human beings reached stage of enlightenment and finally salvation moksha. Both Bible and Koran evolved around teachings of an enlightened one. Following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita not hundreds but thousands gained enlightenment in their lifetime. […]
Does God relate to well-being of physical manifest human beings? Ever since creation of cosmos… everything in cosmic system was directly governed by inscrutable laws of karma… as we sow so shall we reap nothing less or more! God Almighty never interferes in day-to-day routines of life. Going to hell or heaven depends upon the residual balance of karma at […]
God answered our prayers only when we worked for welfare of mankind most of time. The path of prayers was never one-sided. If we desired something from God, we need offering something to God in return. All my life since six years of age I indulged for welfare of mankind at large all the time. So much so that […]
Survival of the fittest is a natural phenomenon… never to be indulged by human beings, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life! Human beings have been endowed with power of discrimination that distinguishes us from animals. Depending on our karma life moved ahead in cosmic life cycle. How we indulged in karma was our sole prerogative, none other could interfere […]
The structure of a soul atman is incomprehensible. Human beings can never conceive identity of a soul atman now or in future ever. As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism the human form was only a vehicle in the cosmic journey of a soul atman. The human form was manifested by our soul atman to work out its karma, remove […]
By introspection one can find something truly dear to our heart. Following the same we could spend our life meaningfully in the present journey on mother earth. Our life goal is dictated by our karma of past and present. We just could not expect mangoes to grow on a guava tree. As our karma of past and present… accordingly flows […]
The sacred scriptures of Hinduism in the initial stages consisted of four primary Vedas… viz. Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. As these scriptural texts were voluminous in nature… they could only be deciphered by learned scholars, sages and saints. For the inherent messages to reach masses… saints and sages of different era wrote independent treatises called […]
Indulging in vast expanse of cosmic consciousness, we could do away with fear forever. Those who were fearless were more nearer to God than others. The moment we realized we were a soul atman on its cosmic journey of life (and not a manifest physical form alone)… fear left forever. In my spiritual journey of life, I overcame fear […]
By realizing some cosmic truths of life, we could do away with ego forever termed Aham in Hinduism. In the first place, ego was created by God to facilitate human form to live life in a meaningful manner. In absence of ego, life would lose its meaning. Human beings would be no better than animals. Absence of desire would […]
Teachings of Buddhism belie belief in God. The sacred scriptures of Hinduism firmly advocate belief in God termed Brahman in Hinduism… the one and only omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient creator of cosmos (termed Brahmaand in Hinduism). Belief in God as per in scriptures of Hinduism was necessitated only if we desire traveling path of spirituality in present journey of life. […]
