Indulgence in scriptures of different religions of world was never about inner peace.

It is a different matter that indulgence in spirituality contained in Bhagavad Gita gave immense inner peace, feelings of tranquility… serenity that could never be […]
Yoga derived from root word yog primarily means effort of soul atman wanting to merge, yolk with Parmatman (God Almighty), Brahman at the earliest! In Hindi two yog two equals four. Before indulgence in yoga sages, Rishis in yesteryears devised asanas (yogic exercises) to keep the body fit and fine. We cannot expect a sick human being to indulge in […]
Self realization, God realization is reaching inner domain of consciousness existing in our heart. Stage of self realization can be reached only by negating karma to zero.

As willed by God human beings were endowed with free will to choose our goal of life. From beginning of life we were totally free to choose path of our making.

As nothing in […]
Enlightenment is reached practicing spirituality, following path of yoga meditation. Meditation demands our negating karma to zero. Path of spirituality was irrespective of karma indulged.

In the last about 150 years amongst 7 billion people existing world over only Sri […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita Brahman, the creator of entire cosmos was the one and only God of Hinduism. As per Advaita Vedanta doctrine propagated by Adi Shankaracharya other than Brahman (God) nothing existed in cosmos. The perceived cosmos was only an act of Maya (veil of illusion). Lord Shiva was only an attribute of God Almighty, part of […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita total surrender to God was difficult in a Kali Yuga (Dark Age, metal age). Even without indulging in karma, one could surrender to God via path of bhakti yoga. Indulgence in karma was not necessitated. By becoming ego less, one could indulge in service of mankind. One on path of bhakti yoga makes self invincible. […]
Spirituality could not be defined in terms of any religion. We just could not say Hindu Spirituality, it does not mean anything. Spirituality was irrespective of any religion, faith or belief.

Immortality belongs to our real self that existed in our heart as our soul atman, the consciousness within! Immortality can never be gained by the physical manifest self. Human life as detailed in Hinduism scriptures was limited by average 100 years of life span. After that individual body parts start failing. Initially our teeth give away, when our eyesight […]
Spirituality is best detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. As per Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, God Almighty was the cumulative power of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form. This primordial cosmic energy, size of half a thumb is what we called God in all its glory (Brahman in Hinduism). God was not the form of […]
Changing human nature was almost next to impossible! The reason was apparent. The human form was manifested by our soul atman after passing 7.3 million manifestations in insect, plant and animal life. Even in human form we do not know at what karmic level we existed between karmic index of 7,300,001 and 8,400,000. Our basic nature continued from previous manifestations, […]
When discussing of boon or curse in Hinduism we must bear one thing in mind! If an accomplished Sage puts a curse on someone… whatever the negative effect of that, half of that would be born by the Sage who put the curse. In yesteryears many sages and Rishis in their anger cursed people, seekers out of ignorance. They finally […]
God Almighty graced mankind with free will, power of discrimination exercising which we could distinguish right from wrong, truth from false! Indulging in good karma, positive karma was not that difficult… we only need following path of truthfulness all the time. If we were truthful in life, we could easily distinguish right from wrong, truth from false all the […]
Human beings, our soul atman was limited to our solar system. We do not know about other parts of cosmos. Even though millions of life supporting planets like mother earth existed in cosmos, we would never get to know them. The reason was apparent. On mother earth human form was the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. It is […]
Maintaining harmony and balance in this world was not our individual responsibility. Mahavira, 24th Tirthankara of Jainism… preceptor rightly said, do not preach unless you become an enlightened one… a bodhi, a Jina forever! Still, if we desire bringing harmony and balance in this world… the first step is bringing harmony and balance in our own life. The moment we […]
When we indulged in yoga meditation as detailed in scriptures of Hinduism… primarily Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises)… our power of concentration increases with time. As the clutter in our thought process decreases, we could visualize, observe our thoughts. Indulging in nishkama karma yoga we could channelize our thought process. Indulging in nishkama karma yoga when we detached […]
Mankind indulged in two pursuits of life… spiritual or materialistic! We could say, a spiritual goal of life was the best but even a materialistic trend was not wrong. If a human being went after money, wealth… one just could never be wrong! After all there were wealthy people in this world who cared for mankind… served entire mankind through […]
In absence of a goal in life we frittered all our energies doing nothing, achieving nothing! A definite power of concentration develops only when we channelized all our energies behind a single goal of life. We must try to emulate Swami Vivekananda, one who possessed almost infinite power of concentration. All decision-making originates in our thinking process. If we […]
Mental power can be increased to infinity… 100% by forming a definite goal in life and pursuing it with all eggs in one basket. Swami Vivekananda possessed phenomenal mental power, prime reason why all his speeches were extempore. When we had infinite desires and wishes, all our energies frittered away achieving nothing. One who truly desires manifesting success, destiny […]
Born a human being, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle… we are not supposed to look into past. Had it been so, God Almighty would have ordained an easier path for the same. A racehorse that comes first never looked back while racing. Out of curiosity if we wanted to know our past life, it becomes […]
It is an absolute misnomer that all human beings directly evolved from stage of monkeys. In the initial stages of human evolution, that was a possibility… when for the first time human beings directly evolved from stage of monkeys. But in present scenario, we did not have so many monkeys as human beings. As per Hinduism scriptures primarily Upanishads […]
The average age of human life on mother earth as stipulated in Hinduism scriptures was 100 years. However based on karma, our indulgence in day-to-day life… our age keeps increasing, decreasing! Accidental death was also not ruled out. If one goes to an astrologer, one could know the exact date of death, or the lifespan! Only an accomplished […]
The image of Lord Shiva in Hinduism depicts only one message… to reach stage of enlightenment; full awakening of kundalini shakti was necessitated. The serpent in the neck of Lord Shiva says it all. The blue body of Lord Shiva also expresses hidden fundamental truth of life. Before human beings succeed in reaching stage of enlightenment, one needs establishing […]
When human beings pursued a single goal in life, all our energies concentrated behind that single goal of life! Furthermore channelizing sexual energy behind that single goal of life through mode of transmutation, human beings finally manifest absolute success, destiny in life! Developing absolute power of concentration was not difficult if we could establish control over five senses and […]
The prime reason for decline of Buddhism in India was non-acceptance of existence of soul atman. The existence of soul atman was integral to Hinduism.

Buddhism evolved behind teachings […]

For mankind, society to maintain its cohesiveness… people normally followed established cultural values of life as dictated by scriptures of different religions of world. None was prepared to bell the cat. It was not necessary as everything stated in prime scriptures was truth and only truth. When some people had a different inclination in respect of their body, liking… […]
We were primarily a soul atman… a spirit, consciousness manifesting human body. Our goal of life as a soul atman was emancipation from cycle of birth and death… becoming a pure soul atman forever!
