The birth of Krishna was for a very specific reason. When society reaches its lowest ebb, a point of no return then advents a messiah, savior, an avatar to place the society back on its pedestal. In absence of an avatar per se Hinduism scriptures, the society could not recoup its energy. Every 3500 to 5000 years life […]
In Bhagavad Gita the statement by Krishna “surrender unto me” simply means to reach God in our lifetime total surrender to God is necessitated. And what does total surrender to God mean? Can it be practiced in present times? Total surrender to God in present Kali Yuga (Dark Age) was just not possible. Then what does a seeker do […]
As stated in Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says spiritual teachings must be disseminated only to a rightful candidate, never one who was disinterested. In present times the whole world appears spiritually externally, outwardly but on the inside none wants to indulge in spirituality. All followed religious practices (rituals) that were totally meaningless on path of pure spirituality. Indulging in […]
Krishna an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form) returns only at opportune moment when life practically loses its meaning on mother earth. With a complete decay in moral and ethical values society slowly reaches a point of no return. In such circumstances to re-establish Dharma (righteousness) advent of an avatar is mandated by God. Earlier Krishna […]
Metaphorically Krishna represents soul atman existing in human body. It is an absolute reality of life. Souls’ atmans exist and so do we. The existence of humans is directly based on existence of a spirit, a consciousness in their heart. As detailed in Bhagavad Gita we are primarily a spiritual being manifesting human form. We are a Krishna that […]
Allegorically Krishna represents soul atman existing in human body. The 16,000 wives of Krishna denote existence of 16,000 Indriyas (sense organs) in human body. Unless human beings indulging in spirituality overpowered all these Indriyas, one could never reach state of enlightenment, self realization, god realization ever. Control over 16,000 Indriyas (sense organs) is necessitated to realize Krishna from within, […]
Krishna relates to Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavad Gita relates to path of spirituality. To pursue inner journey, journey towards our soul atman our following precepts of spirituality contained in Bhagavad Gita is an absolute must. Metaphorically Krishna is a spirit, soul atman existing in our heart. Spiritually it is Krishna that manifested human form to work out its […]
Metaphorically, allegorically Krishna represents the spirit, Prana existing in us as our soul atman and Radha mother earth. The inter-twinning relationship between Krishna and Radha is that of atman soul with mother earth. Ever since all souls’ atmans separated from its parent body Brahman, they got mired in impurities. To cleanse self of dross impurities within the souls’ atmans […]
Going by the story of Samudra Manthan, we find that Samudra Manthan produces both Amrita (elixir of life) and Vish (poison). Seekers, travelers of spiritual path directed Amrita towards kundalini awakening and full awakening of results in one becoming an enlightened one. The Vish (poison) just could not be discarded and has to be retained in the body causing […]
Krishna in Bhagavad Gita says a seeker, Yogi in search of God who succeeds practicing spirituality even while living in Grihastha ashram (married life) was a perfect Yogi par excellence. Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita does not condemn married life. He simply says to pursue path of pure spirituality one needs cutting all bondages of earthly life. This includes […]
Brahman as per Bhagavad Gita is one and only one, the creator of entire cosmos. Brahman is the absolute reality of life can nothing other than Brahman existed in cosmos. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva were attributes of Brahman having nothing to do with absolute reality. In real life none by the name of Brahma, Vishnu […]
The reason why Brahman is beyond human understanding is that human form is but a medium and had no independent standing in cosmic system. It is primarily the spirit existing in our heart, our soul atman that manifested human form to cleanse self of dross impurities within. The cosmic journey of life truly belongs to our soul atman, consciousness […]
The quote “Aham Brahmasmi” can be understood following spirituality as in Bhagavad Gita. Can anyone say, ‘I am Brahman”? This would be a wrong quote, a misinterpretation of spiritual teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita and also Upanishads (independent spiritual treatises). Spiritually speaking human beings could never say anything because they had no entity in the world of souls’ […]
If we reflect back into the past history of cosmos and ask “where did Brahman come from”, indulging in Upanishads (independent spiritual treatises) we would get our answer. We must bear in mind that Brahman exists from the beginning of time; it neither has a beginning nor an end. God Almighty, creator of present cosmos is called Brahman in […]
If we try to understand origin of cosmos from a spiritual angle as detailed in Upanishads (independent spiritual treatises) we would realize that manifestation of Brahman was automatic, not even in its control. God Almighty, creator of cosmos is called Brahman in Hinduism. Going back in time when the dissolution of old cosmos (the cosmos previous to the […]
In Hinduism both Brahman (God Almighty) and atman (soul in English) are closely related. This relationship between Brahman and atman was universal existing form beginning of time. How do we define Brahman? In the beginning at the time of formation of cosmos it is Brahman that exploded self with a big bang to form present cosmos. Brahman is that […]
Before indulgence in Brahman Hinduism we must clearly know which God we are talking about, the manifest God or man gods or God Almighty himself. Brahman an entity in Hinduism can be understood from spirituality point of view. Spiritual scriptures like Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads say Brahman is the ultimate creator of entire cosmos (cosmos is called Brahmaand in […]
To understand anything relating to Brahman Hinduism our faith in God, our firm belief in existence of God and also world of souls’ atmans is necessary. If we believed in all the three precepts of spirituality relating to Brahman, God then by understanding how cosmos came into being, we can understand Brahman better. As detailed in Upanishads (independent […]
Brahman, a term used in Hinduism for God Almighty, creator of entire cosmos was always impersonal, a source of magnanimous primordial cosmic energy beyond human comprehension. Hinduism scriptures say for a spiritual traveler, one indulging in spirituality Brahman (God) is always Nirakaar (without a form) and also Nirguna (without an attribute). This is also proved from Advaita Vedanta […]
Everything contained in Bhagavad Gita, the sermon of Lord Krishna to Arjuna is allegorical. Krishna agreed to give sermon of Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna only when he succeeded reaching state of enlightenment. What this means in simple terms? Only after reaching state of enlightenment Arjuna realized from within that expressing cowardice when facing enemy was not practicing Dharma (righteousness). […]
Hinduism epitomizes religion at its level best. Believers of Hinduism primarily believed in all other religions existing in world. The concept of moksha in Hinduism ends the cosmic game of life forever. For a pure soul atman after reaching state of moksha, there was nothing more to be achieved in its cosmic life cycle. A fee soul atman […]
Hinduism primarily is recognized by its scriptures Vedas (Hinduism revelations), Upanishads (independent spiritual treatises) and sermon of Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna. All the three series of scriptures were so intense on the scales of jnana wisdom that even scholars find it difficult to assimilate their teachings. All the spiritual teachings of Hinduism were beyond capture of science […]
Every single doctrine of Hinduism rotates around absolute belief in God, without a single iota of doubt about his existence. Travelers of spiritual path, seekers believed in monotheistic aspect of God, the only one God Brahman; creator of entire cosmos. Those indulging in religious practices (rituals) believed Sakaar form of God (having a form), a God that was Saguna […]
Hinduism religion does not believe in a single founder of Hinduism. The reason is apparent. Following spirituality as detailed in scriptures of Hinduism seekers reached stage of enlightenment, self realization, god realization and finally state of moksha salvation. Emancipation from cycle of birth and death is the only goal of life for a seeker in Hinduism. In the circumstances, […]
I distinctly remember even before going to school around five years of age we were told stories in our home about Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ even Prophet Mohammed. All these enlightened souls are revered in Hinduism. Rather, Hinduism reveres all seekers who succeeded reaching state of enlightenment in their lifetime. Before Jesus Christ became Jesus Christ there was no […]
Kundalini awakening as a child is a rarity yet possible. Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era had his Kundalini awakened fully when very young probably 2 to 4 years of age. The reason how Kundalini awakened fully when only a child laid in philosophy of spirituality! The reason attributed to this is the kundalini was already quite awakened in […]
Metaphorically Krishna in Bhagavad Gita represents the spirit, consciousness existing in our heart. There was none to impart sermon of Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna other than his own soul atman. Arjuna from the beginning was a spiritual person. Indulging in spirituality of the highest order when he was about to gain enlightenment, the cosmic truth of life flashed to him. […]
Karma Yoga in Bhagavad Gita relates to practice of nishkama karma yoga which simply means, not attaching self to fruits of karma performed. On path of pure spirituality, for a spiritual traveler indulgence in karma should always be nishkama karma way of life. For a faster spiritual progress we must all the time work like a trustee, caretaker with the […]
The teachings of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita give meaning to human life. Furthermore, following teachings of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita human beings reached god, realized self. There is nothing more pure than teachings of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita making it number one scripture in the entire world. For this very reason oaths in all courts of […]
Action as per Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita directly relates to karma but inherent karma is much more than mere physical action. As per Bhagavad Gita, primarily Jaina philosophy every single thought precipitates into an act of karma. When we invoked a thought, no physical action took place yet, invoking of thoughts precipitate into karma. And what does this […]
