Consumption of meat stokes passions. For traveling path of spirituality sincerely our establishing absolute control over desires was necessitated. Consuming non-vegetarian diet, we were adding fuel to fire. Furthermore, our thought process was violated. For the sake of our food, someone (a bird or an animal) was killed. Maybe not directly but indirectly we become a sinner in part. […]
Human brain works like a receiving and transmitting station. Emotions always relate to heart. Helped by buddhi (intellect) and supported by mind power, human beings carried out day-to-day routines of life. Whenever something touched our heart, emotions freely flowed! Invocation of all thoughts, positive or negative always happened through our brain. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who […]
We as a soul atman came into being when God Almighty exploded self with a big bang. Moment life supporting planets like mother earth evolved, we as a soul atman started manifesting life on mother earth. After crossing 7.3 million manifestations in insect, plant and animal life we finally manifested human form. Human form is the highest manifest stage in […]
What is the biggest mystery of life, that we were primarily a soul atman and not the manifest physical human form! Mysticism is the path through which a traveler, a mystic unveils hidden cosmic, spiritual truths of life. Every traveler of spiritual path could be called a mystic. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in […]
Every single human being on mother earth had a dual personality. One, the physical manifest self controlled by ego and the other, the world of soul atman existing in our heart. Prompted by ego sometimes we become extremely negative. It was at this moment unknowingly we hurt self. Our soul atman, the spirit within always guides us on right […]
By walking path undertaken by Swami Vivekananda… when we worked for welfare of mankind at large all the time, we only saw things that were positive. Only when our vested interest interfered, we looked at negative things in life. Some people who were not comfortable with teachings of Swami Vivekananda planned an extempore lecture of Swami Vivekananda. They were […]
The best way to live present life was living in the moment. Be born in the morning and die in the evening. In between the two lay the happiest moments of our life full of gaiety and laughter! Under no circumstances we must pass our lives. We must search for our passion and pursue it with all eggs in one […]
A poor person is poor in thoughts never visible riches! What differentiates a laborer from a king… difference in thinking prowess! By improving our flow of thoughts from negative to positive… we could not only become worldly rich but also wise. If we are poor in present life, it was due to negative residual balance of karma from previous manifestations. […]
We could never recover the lost present! Every single moment in life was precious. Whatever becomes past could never be undone. We must always live the moment. By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in 1993 – (Ref. 161120) Bhagavad Gita Study Circle: a meeting point for people from all walks of life interested in knowing […]
Doership… the concept that makes us, believe we were actual master and controller of life. Mounted with an ego we believed human body was the real governor of life. As detailed in scriptures it was our soul atman, the consciousness within that manifest human form to work out its karma, remove dross impurities within. All our life we live under […]
Enjoyment, living in the moment relates to physical world, never field of spirituality! The so-called spiritual gurus failed to realize that one reaches stage of enlightenment only by negating karma to zero. Once we established absolute control over five senses and mind, where was the cause of any enjoyment or living in the moment! A spiritual master, an enlightened one […]
I questioned my existence when about six years of age. The questioning started when I accompanied my mother to Jain temples. She asked me to worship God existing in idols. I refused to do so. I asked her point-blank show me God first and then I will do everything she says. Many times I went to the temple all alone […]
Hinduism like any other religion can be primarily categorized into two divisions… the spiritual and religious! For those indulging in religious practices… Vedas (Hinduism revelations) was the first choice. For those traveling path of spirituality to reach God in their lifetime… teachings of Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises) sufficed. The most apt commentaries on Bhagavad Gita are available […]
The concept of beauty as detailed in Hinduism scriptures relates to inner beauty, never external. The external beauty was temporal, would fade with time. The inner beauty not only persists but pervades future manifestations. After death of human body based on residual balance of karma our soul atman manifest a new body. The closing balance of present life becomes opening […]
Instead of indulging open-endedly in the vast paraphernalia of Hinduism scriptures, we must first form a definite goal in life… what exactly we wanted to read! Once our goal is final we could indulge in requisites. One single book containing philosophies of best writers of Indology was just not possible. When I started in search of God six years […]
If I chance to meet a really beautiful girl and proposed her to marry me, what if she said “No “! What alternative did I have except to say, ‘For God’s sake’ please marry me. I would not disappoint you, ever…My dear Princess! ‘For God’s sake’ means… in the name of God, for fear of God… on behalf of […]
The human survival was directly linked to inner beauty, never external! All enlightened souls that manifest on mother earth could not be considered beautiful in terms of external beauty. Let us take case of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana, the two spiritual stalwarts who gained enlightenment in the last about 150 years amongst 7 billion people existing world over. […]
Philosophical books, sacred texts were never meant for reading. We could never understand anything in a philosophical book literally. We need contemplating, introspecting… logically reasoning every step of life. If we desire reaching the hidden underlying meaning in sacred texts, our indulgence in contemplation was an absolute must. One single book, the sermon of Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna […]
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 […]
A great patriotic breed just like Hindus! When young my father told me a story about Israel. My father visited a European country as a UN expert. He stayed in a hotel for few days. In the middle of night around 2 AM he abruptly got up as someone was making noises in the corridor. On opening the door he […]
Can the surface of ocean fathom the bottom? Can one bank of river meet the other bank? The Western philosophy was too immature to be compared with Eastern philosophy, the real philosophy of life. When no religion existed on mother earth, existed Sanatana Dharma, a Dharma existing from times immemorial. Hinduism religion must rightly be termed Sanatana Dharma, always called […]
