No prejudices… only apprehensions! Masses did not prefer indulging in spirituality for the fear of losing their family, near and dear ones. For a serious traveler of spiritual path the whole world becomes one large family. One interested in spirituality all the time worked for welfare of mankind at large. Personal matters did not matter any further. By: Vijay […]
At nine years of age when I finally decided to go in search of God wholeheartedly, I had all doubts that I would make it. I somehow wanted to be free from cycle of birth and death forever. In the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age I finally realized God. Looking back I […]
Hinduism scriptures say spirit of the dead immediately manifests a new body to start new cycle of life. In Hinduism a soul atman is a spirit, a consciousness much beyond comprehension of human beings. Only if matching parents are not available on mother earth, the spirit of the dead hibernates in heaven or hell. In heaven (swarga) if the residual […]
Idol worshipping in Hinduism primarily was symbolic. It never mattered what the idol was made of. In places where people could not afford even a temple … people prayed to a banyan free, at times even a rock. Worshipping mountains and rivers was common in Hinduism. As everything was symbolic, all prayers were offered to God Almighty, the creator of […]
The consciousness never enters the body. Rather it is vice versa. A soul atman, the consciousness manifests a body to work out its karma, remove dross impurities within. After death of present body, the released soul atman again manifests a new body based on residual balance of karma at the time of death. This circle of life continues until […]
Indulgence in yoga meditation means… indulging in introspection, path of self enquiry… logical reasoning! In absence of introspection that directly relates to everything mental… no spiritual uplifting was possible. In a nutshell, field of spirituality, yoga meditation directly translated to everything we called mind power. Indulgence in jnana (wisdom) can only be done through path of mind power. Bookish […]
I realized God in 1993 37 years of age. I am referring the books that made my life. For gaining absolute success in life, the only book needed was “law of success” by Napoleon Hill. For progressing spiritually our indulgence in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises) was mandated by God. Commentaries on Bhagavad Gita and 11 primary […]
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 […]
The state of Egolessness can be reached only by overpowering five senses and mind. When our goal of life was welfare of mankind at large… overpowering of ego forever was never a problem. Mahavira did it and so did Gautama Buddha. Jesus Christ did it and so did Prophet Mohammed. In recent times Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa did it and […]
Practically there is no difference between rebirth and reincarnation. As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism… reincarnation, rebirth is the process through which a soul atman manifests body after another. After death of present body, our soul atman again manifests a new body. This cycle of birth and death is termed reincarnation, rebirth. The domain of reincarnation, rebirth lay in world […]
We should relate to reincarnation in present life only if we wanted to travel spiritual path to know God. Reincarnation, the process of a soul atman manifesting form after another related to field of spirituality! If our goal of life was anything other than spiritual, then reincarnation carried no meaning for us. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The […]
No human being ever has an independent mind. We all have a brain that works as receiving and transmitting station. The mind of entire cosmos was one having two compartments… reservoir of mind plus and mind minus. From reservoir of mind plus we invoked all positive thoughts and negative from reservoir of mind minus. Mental waves, mind waves traveled […]
As detailed in scriptures of Hinduism, primarily Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises)… after death of human body on mother earth, based on residual balance of karma at the time of death… our soul atman immediately manifests a new body to start new cycle of life. The closing balance of present life becomes opening balance for next manifestation. It […]
Reincarnation is principally defined as a soul atman manifesting another form after death of present body. This principle is understood only if we believed in presence of souls’ atmans. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, the present journey of life belongs to our soul atman, and never the manifest physical human form. As a manifest physical entity we […]
Rephrasing everything, human beings on mother earth either manifest destiny or continued living a normal life. We could either live a life of our choosing or spend it as destined by God Almighty. Those intelligent, transmuted, channelized all their energies behind a single goal of life as preached by Napoleon Hill in his famous book, “law of success”! Others […]
Literal reading of Bhagavad Gita does not mean anything. Precepts of spirituality detailed in Bhagavad Gita can only be understood by indulging in introspection, self enquiry… logical reasoning. One needs traveling path of pure spirituality to understand intricacies of spiritual life contained in Bhagavad Gita. Bhagavad Gita primarily shows us that life truly belongs to our soul atman, the […]
Para Brahma, consciousness as you say is termed Brahman in Upanishads (independent treatises). If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty (Brahman). And we were primarily a soul atman, a spirit on its cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations that entailed an earthly journey of 96.4 million years. Being the […]
Story of my personal experience given here – Karma is the inherent ingredient of cosmic life (dross impurities within a soul atman) removing which a soul atman finally reached stage of absolute purity, when human beings gained enlightenment. Karma can be negated to zero by establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. “Dharma” … “Your right to […]
Bhagavad Gita conveys one and only one message… the journey in human form was ephemeral. What was permanent was world of souls’ atmans. By following teachings of spirituality contained in Bhagavad Gita any human being world over could easily emancipate forever from cycle of birth and death, reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma […]
We indulge in karma… good or bad! We can burn bad karma only by prayaschitta (Atonement)… there was no other shortcut. It was through path of yoga meditation one learnt intricacies of doing prayaschitta. As we indulged in bad karma, we could also indulge in good karma, positive karma most of time. When we indulged self in welfare of […]
True love as per Bhagavad Gita is one when we worked for welfare of entire mankind all the time. Kabirdas expressed value of true love in his couplets all the time. Guru Gobind Singh expressed value of true love when he spent Rs. 2/= (given for purchase of groceries) on purchasing blankets for poor. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… […]
True silence (Mauna) can be practiced only by one in search of God. Maharishi Ramana was a great exponent of it. Power of silence helps us concentrate all our energies behind a single goal of life. We could indulge in introspection, self enquiry practicing silence within. More on silence By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God […]
Even after reaching stage of self realization, for undoing ills of day-to-day life… I daily indulge in asking forgiveness from God Almighty for bad deeds committed knowingly or unknowingly. This helps cleansing my thought process. Invoking positive thoughts most of time is the most important ingredient of cosmic life. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized […]
As everything contained in Bhagavad Gita could never be understood literally, only enlightened ones become knower of all. In the last about 150 years only two human beings world over reached stage of enlightenment… Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana! In a period of 100 to 200 years, a maximum of one or two persons become knower of all. […]
By looking within… by listening to sweet small inner voice of our soul atman, we could definitely recall our calling in life. As the present journey of life is undertaken by our soul atman, the spirit within… it is our soul atman that would finally decide our journey of life. Our soul atman resides in our heart. Pursuing something […]
Acharya Rajneesh (née Osho) and also Jiddu Krishnamurti did not gain enlightenment in their lifetime. Clarity in spiritual writings was fundamentally available in teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana… the two souls who gained enlightenment in their lifetime. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161018) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: […]
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.

Non–indulgence in bad karma promotes us towards path of positive thinking. Thinking good of all, we could always indulge in positive thinking most of time. When we placed benefit of others before individual self, we were positive in our approach of life. Happiness in life flowed our way when we pursued a definite goal in life. In absence of […]
The limit of consciousness is infinity. This is what was achieved by all enlightened souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. By traveling path of spirituality, our awareness reached its zenith. One day, we finally connected with God Almighty on one-to-one basis. Being physically aware of surroundings is one thing, being aware of our true […]
The greatest gift of God to mankind was presence of free will, exercising which human beings finally reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation moksha to free self from cycle of birth and death forever.
