When we say Mahavira, Gautama Buddha even Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed were enlightened, what we meant by that! On the same note even Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa (the revered spiritual master of Swami Vivekananda) and Maharishi Ramana were enlightened. Can any non-enlightened person world over comment on that? Is it possible for a student to assess the capability of […]
We fail to realize that our soul atman always was inert, never participated in anything relating to physical manifest life. It is human beings who reached stage of enlightenment. Human beings gaining enlightenment simply means devoid of dross impurities within, in absence of karma… a soul atman reaches stage of absolute purity (which was termed enlightenment). By: Vijay Kumar […]
There is a reason why enlightenment is difficult to gain as a woman. All women were imbibed with Moha (extreme emotional attachment) due to which they took care of family. In absence of Moha, the whole family system may go astray, haywire. Cutting across shackles of Moha was extremely difficult, prime reason why in the entire history of mankind only […]
Definitely, one consuming non-vegetarian diet can gain enlightenment in ones lifetime but would take much longer time compared to a vegetarian. Non-vegetarian diet induced unhealthy thoughts. To overpower five senses and mind in totality, consumption of non-vegetarian meals must be avoided. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161022) Bhagavad Gita […]
Enlightenment is achieved subduing our ego in totality. We also need establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. Desire to get enlightened will never get us enlightenment. We just could not desire anything on path of pure spirituality. We need indulging in nishkama karma yoga, offering fruits of karma performed to God Almighty all the time. One desire breeds […]
All human beings who succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment as detailed in Bhagavad Gita were from India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha) except Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. In the entire history of mankind thousands of men gained enlightenment in their lifetime. Comparatively only two ladies till date succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment… the famous philosopher saint Gargi and Maitreyi, the […]
Enlightenment can be gained only by negating our karma to zero. We need establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. By visualization of enlightenment of others, we gained nothing spiritually. The journey of spirituality is always traveled all alone. Not even God Almighty interferes in our working. Similar as a bud could not become a flower looking at […]
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 […]
After reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana), the present journey of cosmic life finally comes to an end for a soul atman. Until Pralaya (dissolution of cosmos) occurs…. all pure souls atmans remain in Vaikuntha (kingdom of God). Any human being on mother earth can invoke these enlightened souls and seek blessings. Liberated souls atmans could travel to any part […]
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. Any human being, belonging to any religion, faith or belief can ceremoniously travel path […]
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 […]
The fine thread that connects both enlightenment and insanity was like the center of a half filled glass. For a person with positive outlook the glass was half full, for a pessimist… half empty! Most travelers of spiritual path quit their calling when in last stages of life. This happened with Acharya Rajneesh (née Osho). What if we quit […]
An enlightened one need not serve God anymore. In serving his children, the entire mankind… one was actually serving God Almighty all the time. Furthermore, an enlightened one can increase or decrease ones body temperature to almost infinite limits. Things like weather changes, hot and cold climate does not affect an enlightened one. An enlightened one could lie on […]
Spiritual enlightenment results in a human being realizing the following – 1. One connects to God Almighty on one-to-one basis every second of life. 2. Our brain activates 100%. 3. Our food intake for the whole month was a single slice of bread. 4. Eight hours of regular sleep could be completed in five minutes. […]
The most enlightened being I followed all my life was Lord Krishna who gave teachings of Bhagavad Gita to mankind. The kundalini of Lord Krishna awakened at a very young age probably 4~6 years. What could be nobler than the fact… indulging in teachings of Lord Krishna human beings gained enlightenment in their lifetime. A preceptor worth emulating! Next […]
Just to maintain the body, a single loaf of bread suffices for one month. Only very negligible amount of food was required by a pure soul, the enlightened one. An enlightened one could draw energy directly from atmosphere. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161113) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: a meeting […]
An enlightened person could go without food for more than 55 days. An enlightened one overcomes sleep forever. Eight hours of sleep is covered in five minutes. Prime reason why Arjuna is also called Nidrajeet (one who has overcome sleep forever). By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161113) Bhagavad Gita Study […]
Under influence of drugs one could at the most experience hallucinations… moments of extreme calm but all were short lived, temporary! Enlightenment is gained when our kundalini energy awakened fully. This becomes a reality by practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation. This 12 years period could not be curtailed by any means. Mahavira (24th […]
One most unique aspect of spirituality was… any human being world over belonging to any religion, faith or belief could ceremoniously indulge in teachings of Bhagavad Gita to reach stage of enlightenment in present life. In absence of teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita none could ever gain enlightenment. Our indulgence in Bhagavad Gita was an absolute must. The 700 shlokas […]
Every messenger of God, every Prophet was an enlightened one! When a human being reaches that stage all inhibitions of physical manifest life negate to zero. Could such a one indulge in profanities of manifest earthly life? An enlightened one like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed worked for welfare of mankind all the time. For them goal […]
Can a Nobel Laureate force a student to become a Nobel laureate. We know it cannot be done. Does that mean failure of Nobel Laureate? Just as we could not make a bud grow into a flower, or pull stem of a plant and make it grow into a tree… we also could not force human beings to gain enlightenment. […]
Total perfection in life can be achieved only via path of spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed were all examples of total perfection. Indulging in yoga meditation all these enlightened souls finally became a pure soul atman. Perfection means complete removal of dross impurities within. Karma negated to zero forever, the soul […]
Stage of enlightenment was not something that needs proving! Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed Al gained enlightenment in their lifetime. The moment they reached stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, moment their kundalini awakened fully… the, I of their physical self dissolved forever. For an enlightened one who was engulfed in cosmic consciousness all the time… the whole world […]
Someone who never climbed a mountain, standing on plain ground … can such a one ever describe what top of Mount Everest was like? State of enlightenment was beyond conceptualization until one experiences it. Even one who reaches Mount Everest could give only a fair idea what Mount Everest was all about! The path to Mount Everest could be detailed […]
For Swami Vivekananda, remaining bachelor was a blessing in disguise, being free of bickering of married life. For Sage Yajnavalkya (composer and compiler of most voluminous Brihadaranyaka Upanishad) married life was not a hurdle in gaining enlightenment. He not only gained enlightenment in his lifetime but also facilitated his wife Maitreyi to gain Brahma jnana, become an enlightened one! […]
Enlightenment is the stage when devoid of dross impurities within a soul atman reaches stage of absolute purity. Emancipated forever from cycle of birth and death, the cosmic journey for a soul atman finally comes to an end. Moksha salvation is the stage when an enlightened one left mortal frame forever. The liberated soul atman finally enters kingdom of […]
