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.

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.

Every single doctrine of Hinduism rotates around absolute belief in God, without a single iota of doubt about his existence.

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.

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 […]
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita Dharma (righteousness) defined as “Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined” is that unfettered cosmic principle of life, which governs from the inside life of all living beings on mother earth including human beings. In absence of dharma no religion could sustain of its own. In absence […]
Indulging in Bhagavad Gita is an inner journey towards our soul atman existing in heart. It involves awakening of dormant lying kundalini shakti and when that happens dormant lying portions of our brain activated. This sudden increased activity in brain results in severe headaches, migraine that were temporary but after some time there is a complete lull followed by experience […]
The quote Bhagavad Gita in our daily life does not mean anything. Bhagavad Gita is not a normal document or scripture that could be indulged occasionally, part-time. Bhagavad Gita must be indulged only by travelers of spiritual path, those seeking God in their lifetime. Rest all who feel indulging in Bhagavad Gita occasionally were totally mistaken, ignorant. The […]
Many people world over translated Bhagavad Gita from Sanskrit to English, unmindful of the fact that a commentary or translation of Bhagavad Gita can be indulged only by one who has himself reached a particular level of spirituality. Such people can be counted on fingers. The basic essence of Bhagavad Gita is understood demolishing ego to zero whereas most […]
What does Bhagavad Gita signify? The oath in Indian courts is taken on Bhagavad Gita. Bhagavad Gita personifies truth and only truth.

Definition of Yoga in Bhagavad Gita is not what the generation of present times is interpreting. This includes the present Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.
