Enlightenment is achieved by following path of spirit, prime reason why the journey is called path of spirituality. As detailed in Hinduism scriptures we were primarily a spirit, consciousness existing in our heart as our soul atman. We were primarily a spiritual being manifesting human form to work out our karma, remove dross impurities within. The stage when the […]
Allegorically Lord Krishna represents soul atman, consciousness existing in human body. In absence of soul atman the physical manifest body carried no meaning. Lord Krishna is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) belonging to Arjuna. In absence of sarthi, the journey of human life (the chariot) would become meaningless. The character of Lord Krishna has a […]
The total history of mankind was not above 12,000 years old. Before inception of any religion, existed “Dharma” … “Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined”. Dharma was inherent in all living beings from the beginning of time. It is based on dharma people interacted with each other. Prime reason why Hinduism religion […]
The only two names that stand out in the entire history of mankind were those of Gargi, the philosopher saint and Maitreyi the second dutiful wife of Sage Yajnavalkya (composer and compiler of most voluminous brihadaranyaka Upanishad).

When an enlightened one left mortal frame, the stage was termed moksha salvation. In simpler terms it means… liberation of soul atman from cycle of birth and death forever, reaching stage of Mukti! By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161104) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: a meeting point for people from all […]
In the present Kali Yuga the materialistic tendencies peaked. In such times assimilating jnana wisdom contained in scriptures of Jainism was not possible. People were not after truth but rituals (path of religion) that carried no meaning in spiritual world. Doctrine of the Bhava karma of Jainism was exemplary but how many people world over was able to follow […]
Lord Krishna is popular world over for two reasons. 1. He was the only avatar who really manifest on mother earth in Dwapar Yuga. All other avatars of Lord Krishna relate to Hindu mythology having nothing to do with absolute reality. In the entire history of Hinduism there has never been one like Lord Vishnu. All the three Lord Brahma, […]
Every upright man would always take some firm decisions. People say Lord Krishna forced Pandavas and Kauravas into battle of Mahabharata. Even Chanakya got 100 kings eliminated in one night. There was always something higher beyond capture of normal human mind. Lord Krishna plunged Pandavas and Kauravas into battle of Mahabharata to re-establish Dharma, cleanse the society of its ills. […]
By decreasing the clutter in our thinking process, we reached higher realms of thinking. It was like traveling on higher and higher mental waves. Lesser that clutter, higher the wavelength of our mental prowess. Indulging in yoga meditation human beings could increase their mental capacity to infinity. Practice of celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) greatly helps one reach greater wavelengths on […]
All my life from six years of age I prayed to God for welfare of entire mankind. Never did I pray to God asking for individual benefit. Not a single prayer of my ever went unanswered. Medium of prayers never was one-sided. If we asked something of God, we must be prepared to give something in return. Most human beings […]
All Hinduism scriptures explicitly state that present journey of life was undertaken by our soul atman, the consciousness existing in our heart. To cleanse self of dross impurities within every soul atman manifests body after body until it reaches 8.4 millionth manifestation, last in cosmic life cycle. This is the stage when traveling path of spirituality human beings finally gained […]
No matter how best I try, I am not able to differentiate between different fingers of my hand. On path of pure spirituality every single verse (shloka) contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads was important. Our indulgence in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads gets necessitated if our goal of life was spiritual, never otherwise. We can complete the spiritual journey only […]
The act of suicide relates to karma. As per doctrine of karma if we willingly cut short the journey undertaken by our soul atman then we shall definitely be punished by God Almighty for the same. It is in interest of human beings not to act cowardly and commit the act of suicide. If after death of present body we […]
India will become the most powerful country in the world only after coming of Kalki Avatar. At that time the system of governance would change from parliamentarian to presidential like in United States of America. A person of the level of Chanakya was necessitated to bring about a quantum change. One executive president and 29 governors would usher India […]
For travelers of spiritual path intermittent glimpses into domain of God were common. One could experience bliss, ecstasy at different moments of spiritual pursuit. The moment we realize we have reached level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed or Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa or Maharishi Ramana… we shall get to know that we have gained enlightenment, also termed Brahma […]
If our goal of life was; knowing God then our indulgence in path of spirituality was necessitated. For this indulgence in Bhagavad Gita and 11 primary Upanishads suffices. Commentaries on Bhagavad Gita and 11 primary Upanishads were available with Gita press, Gorakhpur, India. All these commentaries contained the original text, transliteration followed by the commentary. They have both Hindi and […]
Becoming enlightened and engaging in work… such a concept did not exist in spiritual world. Stage of enlightenment can only be reached by a human being who successfully engaged in service of mankind all the time like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. Enlightenment is reached negating karma to zero forever. In absence of karma how could […]
If enlightenment could be gained that easily, through meditation music… not in thousands but millions worldwide would have reached stage of enlightenment. Music connects human beings to God but it had no further role to play. Enlightenment can be gained only by traveling path of spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. There was no second alternative. By: Vijay Kumar […]
Whatever we thought would take thousands of years, a few decades before now was accomplished in few years. The time gap between projection and actual achievement is reducing. Everything is resulting from human thinking prowess. We are slowly becoming more and more intelligent day by day. Whatever was accomplished by a five-year kid in recent past is accomplished by a […]
When one develops spiritual affinity our attachment to money ceases to exist. For a spiritual traveler only the bare necessities exist. One requires money only for day-to-day activities of life. If one were married (in Grihastha ashram), then money was necessitated! But for a spiritual traveler it was very difficult to earn money. At the most one could try ones […]
Interest in path of spirituality develops automatically, everything comes from within. None world over could be forced to travel path of spirituality. When very young religious stories did rounds in our house! In the night before going to bed all children sat with elders to listen to mesmerizing stories about Indian culture, Hinduism… path of spirituality! Whenever the topic […]

Yoga meditation is always indulged via path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning. It does not matter whether the place was soundproof or not. In the initial stages of yoga meditation, lesser noise was preferable. In the later stages more the noise, better the introspection within. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. […]
All enlightened ones used their brain 100% compared to normal human beings who used their brain only 1 to 2%, the remaining always lying dormant. For an enlightened one it was easy to know other enlightened ones existing on mother earth. Even without interacting one could telepathically know everything. Enlightenment means becoming a pure soul atman forever. As a pure […]
Spiritual enlightenment could never be gained via external stimulation. One needs indulgence in path of jnana yoga to assimilate hidden underlying principles of spirituality contained in sacred texts of different religions of world. Negating karma to zero was mandated and so was overpowering five senses and mind. Practice of absolute celibacy for 12 years was a necessity. 100% faith in […]
Everything relating to spirituality was unacceptable to scientists, psychologist and neuroscientists! Something that could not be measured by parameters of science was unacceptable. Whatever happens in our brain was beyond psychologists and neuroscientists to judge. Normal human beings used their brain 1 to 2%; enlightened human beings like Mahavira and Gautama Buddha used their brain 100%. Imagine if Mahavira, […]
What connects manifest human beings to the invisible, abstract values of life! It was only our thought process that connects mankind to God Almighty, world of souls’ atmans. Going by this analogy how thoughts could be a barrier to gaining enlightenment! It has rightly been said, a human being is sum total of ones thoughts at a given moment of […]
Enlightenment in absence of practice of absolute celibacy was just not possible. Practice of celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) that seekers world over often discussed constituted hardly 10% of total job. Actual celibacy was practiced mentally. Eradicating flow of negative thoughts to our brain in totality is what absolute celibacy all about. Abstaining from a sexual relationship was a petty matter hardly […]
When Abhimanyu was still in the womb, Arjuna narrated a story to his wife about how to enter a chakravayuha. By the time Arjuna could narrate how to come out of chakravayuha, the wife fell asleep and Abhimanyu could never know how to get out of chakravayuha. This is the literal meaning conveyed by the story but the whole episode […]
Scholars who could understand and interpret Vedas and Upanishads are very limited in present times. Precisely, it is not just the literal interpretation but reaching the hidden underlying meaning of sacred text that was important. Even the best of the best I have come across in present times had little knowledge. If we desire indulging in Vedas and Upanishads then […]
