From childhood I followed path of absolute truthfulness all throughout. So much so when in second class I realized for myself power of practicing truthfulness. The deputy headmaster of the school always boxed ears of some children when passing through the gallery of the school. There was no reason for doing so, he was habituated. Pleadings of children carried no […]
From beginning of life I did not believe in religious practices (rituals). All rituals were necessitated in yesteryears when spirituality was still in its nascent stages. After evolution of spirituality the need to worship God, indulging in religious practices was practically a waste of time. Most who indulged in religious practices feared god! Travelers of spiritual path never feared God… […]
All people who were logical in life believed in existence of God. Indulging in contemplation all intelligent, wise people ultimately realized that God was integral to existence of life on mother earth. In absence of god nothing holds good… in entire cosmos… the cosmos simply could not subsist of its own! Srinivasa Ramanujan, Swami Vivekananda and our former president […]
As detailed in Hinduism scriptures the present cosmos came into being when Brahman (God Almighty) explodes self with a big bang. This occurrence of big bang was automatic, not even in control of God Almighty (Brahman). When dissolution of old cosmos occurred, the entire cosmos reduces to size of half a thumb we called God Almighty in all its glory. […]
Literally human beings were totally incapable of understanding consciousness. But indulging in contemplation one not only understands what cosmic consciousness was all about but also realizes self as cosmic consciousness, a soul atman on its cosmic life cycle… that manifest human form to work out its karma, remove dross impurities within. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita we were primarily […]
Once our goal in life is fixed, we could concentrate all our energies behind that single goal of life. Ifs and buts carried no meaning in spiritual world. Our faith in God and truthfulness had to be absolute 100%. We just could not keep wandering aimlessly. We also could not travel two boats at the same time. Either we are […]
Unless we successfully established total control over five senses and mind, we cannot negate karma to zero! To reach stage of absolute purity as a soul atman, negation of karma in totality was necessitated. To remove dross impurities within a soul atman indulging in karma was the only way of life. Control over desires and wishes followed automatically if […]
From an early age I understood that human beings were not meant to worship God in present times. In yesteryears when society was not yet evolved as today, mankind indulged in religious practices (rituals) to appease gods. Spirituality was still in its nascent stages. In those times none knew mankind was the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle and […]
Before indulging in meditation we have to know how we indulged in meditation… the path, the intrinsic hidden spiritual meaning! Meditation was never about sitting in a room concentrating on something or nothing. Meditation was always indulged via path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning! Once we mastered the delicate art of contemplation… meditation was not difficult to practice! […]
For a normal person material pursuit of life was necessary to earn daily bread and butter for the family. Dominated by ego (Aham in Hinduism) one indulged in daily routines of life! For a commoner, one from masses it was not necessary to pursue spiritual journey in life. For a true seeker, one traveling spiritual path… body itself was […]
Path of spirituality is traveled successfully by indulging in contemplation… logical reasoning. External factors never mattered on spiritual journey. The journey of spirituality always was within. We need reaching our true inner self… our soul atman, the spirit within. Spirituality is a precept following which human beings finally reached stage of enlightenment. Spirituality can never be sold. In a […]
Children can indulge in yogic exercises (asanas) but to a limited extent. Indulgence in yogic exercises was only a precursor to indulging in yoga, path that led to God Almighty! Before indulging in spirituality, we need possessing a robust body. This was accomplished by yogis and Rishis of yester era by performing a set of asanas before indulging in contemplation, […]
The other side of life… totally distinct from physical manifest self is our true inner self! Our spiritual self residing in our heart as our soul atman, the spirit within was the real master and controller of human life. The physical manifest form was only a medium, a body for soul atman within to work out its karma… remove dross […]
God forbid… even if I knew such an ashram (as I am located very nearby to Haridwar and Rishikesh)… I would never recommend one! In the initial stages of spiritual pursuit I always thought going to Himalayas as a recluse to contemplate on God Almighty… would be a great idea, but I was wrong… totally wrong! As destiny would have […]
Women world over were in no way inferior to men. The thinking prowess of men and woman does not relate to body structure. The evolution of brain directly relates to field of pure spirituality. As women were less spiritual due to inherent feelings of Moha (extreme emotional attachment)… they normally used brain much lesser than men. More the usage […]
Vedic traditions mean indulging in field of spirituality more than field of religion (rituals). Understanding gist of Vedas (Hinduism revelations) was not for masses, commoners. Who could travel path of spirituality… not one who had family responsibilities to fulfill Kshatriyas (the warrior clan) who had inbuilt will to do or die were most competent to indulge in spirituality to […]
God helps those who help themselves simply means everything in cosmic system was directly governed by laws of karma… as we sow so shall we reap nothing more or less. We just could not indulge in karma with a detached attitude… something followed by millions who flocked to religious centers like Haridwar, Rishikesh and Varanasi in search of god. We […]
Born in Jainism religion and follower of Hinduism all throughout life… I relate to only these two religions. In Hinduism and also Jainism the moment death of human form occurs, the released soul atman immediately manifests another body to continue its cycle of life. Scriptures of Hinduism also say… if matching parents are not available on mother earth, the […]
Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita simply says… after death of present body our soul atman manifests another body to cleanse itself of dross impurities within. This cycle of life (reincarnation process) continues until soul atman reaches 8.4 millionth manifestation… last in cosmic life cycle. Reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation announces soul atman gaining absolute purity forever. Liberated from cycle of […]
Everything relating to Hindu cosmology is explicitly detailed in various Upanishads (independent treatises). By referring primary 11 Upanishads… we would get to know how God Almighty exploded self with a big bang to form present cosmos. Everything relating to dissolution of cosmos (Pralaya in Hinduism) is also available in Upanishads. Gita press, Gorakhpur, India has a publication that comprises essence […]
Both sufferings and happiness were part of cosmic life. In absence of one, the other carried no meaning. It was only through process of suffering and happiness life evolved further in cosmic life cycle. If we need separating one KG of pure gold from hundred KG lump of gold ore… what would be our process? Initially we would heat […]
Amongst all four Vedas… the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda… Rig Veda was the first words of God invoked by sages and Rishis of erstwhile Bharatvarsha (now India). In the entire history of mankind there was nothing older than Rig Veda. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – Dec […]
Invoking positive thoughts most of time when we felt happy from within… it was all about spreading positivity all-around. The moment we incurred negative thoughts… all our positivity, happiness from within disappears automatically. To keep in touch with present, to live in present all the time our indulgence in positive thoughts all the time was an absolute must. No matter […]
The Advent of Kalki Avatar is expected around 2025. In the coming years mankind would witness human values reaching its lowest ebb. In such times of strife, tribulation comes a messiah, saviour… an avatar (God manifest in human form)… who finally succeeds re-establishing Dharma (righteousness) against evil forces of adharma (lawlessness). This one-man army would be a phenomenon to watch. […]
Can we expect a student of class one to recognize a senior professor of physics? The inherent doctrine of reincarnation was applicable to every soul atman in cosmos. Based on residual balance of karma at the time of death… a soul atman manifests a new body. It is an absolute fact of life that a child is born in a […]
Not so eloquent in English (my mother tongue is Hindi)… I am not able to express as clearly as would have been possible in Hindi. Still, I would bluntly say… unless we had patience, resilience… self-discipline… we just could not indulge in yoga meditation to reach God in present life. Both… our initial efforts and karma indulged were equally important. […]
Yoga is derived from root word yog which in Hinduism stood for effort of soul atman wanting to merge with God Almighty (Brahman) at the earliest. Yoga must never be confused with a set of yogic exercises called asanas. Indulgence in Yoga means… indulging in contemplation, logical reasoning… following path of spirituality to reach hidden underlying cosmic truths of life […]
I practiced Brahmacharya Vrata (celibacy) for a continuous period of 14 years to reach stage of self realization, god realization. Brahmacharya Vrata, celibacy practically translates to non-indulgence in sexual activity. This was an absolute misnomer. Brahmacharya Vrata (celibacy), abstinence from sexual indulgence formed 10% of total job… 90% celibacy always been practiced mentally. Eradicating flow of negative thoughts to our […]
In Hinduism spirit was not distinct from soul atman. Until God was unmanifest it was purely a world of spirits, souls’ atmans. With occurrence of big bang the cosmic journey of all spirits (souls’ atmans) started. The comprehension of spirit is much beyond present science. It is quite possible that even in future one could never know anything about […]
Anyone enlightened can be accepted as a role model. In the last about 150 years amongst 7000 million people existing world over only Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). Half baked theories being preached to gullible mankind by so-called religious or spiritual teachers of present times does not mean anything. Sri […]
