Furthermore none could deny existence of God Almighty on mother earth. Atheists did not believe in existence of God but they believed in a superpower... an energy source they never wanted to call God... something that was central to existence of entire cosmos! Belief or no belief... existence of God Almighty was never really disputed! If human beings existed... it proves existence of God Almighty beyond doubt! How?
As detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism, God Almighty was the only truth of life! Nothing other than God Almighty existed in entire cosmos. This is clearly proved from doctrine of Maya (veil of illusion) put forward by Sage Adi Shankaracharya. If we look at basic building block of entire cosmos... the whole cosmos is made of clusters of atoms and molecules. Only when perceived from senses point of view... things appeared solid. In reality... all was gaseous formation!
The form of human beings... every single structure existing on mother earth was made of clusters of atoms and molecules. Truly... wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita reigned supreme! It is Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism that clearly detailed evolution of entire cosmos through big bang theory! As per Bhagavad Gita, God Almighty is that singularity in the beginning of cosmos that exploded self with a big bang to create present cosmos!
Unless god existed... the present cosmos
simply could not form! If we are to understand entity of God Almighty in totality... our traveling spiritual
path was mandated by God Almighty! The realization of God could only be experienced via path of spirituality as detailed in
Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. For reaching our true inner self... real self, our
soul atman... the
spirit within... assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita was an absolute must! The existence of God Almighty could never be understood via path of religion... path of rituals! Those who traveled path of religion for reaching God Almighty were absolute ignorants... never truly wanting to reach God Almighty but only wanted to show the world community that they believed in God... wanted to reach God! Such ignorants on path of pure spirituality must always be shunned! They are the true black sheep of society... all the time indulging in vice!
All man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed reached supreme God... realized God only after gaining enlightenment by traveling path of pure spirituality! One could indulge in conversation with God... chat with God on one-to-one basis only after gaining enlightenment... never before! God Almighty was not the form of human beings! God Almighty is the sum total of all cosmic consciousness existing in entire cosmos!
The definition of God Almighty is simple and clear... the sum total of all purified souls atmans in cosmos at a given moment of time! This mass of all purified souls atmans at the time of dissolution of cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism) carried the size of half a thumb! Truly existence of God in cosmos was beyond comprehension of most human beings... prime reason for many doubting the very presence of God Almighty!
The contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism could not be understood literally... reason why most world over could not become witness to existence of God Almighty! The moment human beings reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana in Hinduism)... the entire wisdom contained in cosmos came at our tips! One practically became omniscient for all practical purposes. Traveling spiritual path was difficult, but not for those who truly wanted to see God in this very life. From the very start of life I believed in teachings of Lord Krishna.
When six years of age... the world of truthfulness fascinated me! I never wanted to speak untruth ever in my life. Mounted with this power of truthfulness... I could hear the sweet small inner voice of my soul atman that seemed to come from within my heart. The voice of our soul atman always prompts us on the right path. By 13 years of age I finally decided to go in search of God full blast.
25 years of yoga meditation... I finally landed in laps of God Almighty in the wee hours of third of August 1993 when I finally realized God... reached stage of self realization... God realization! As a pure soul atman this is my last manifestation on mother earth. Nowhere else to go further... my spiritual journey having reached its logical end... I shall but attain moksha salvation moment I leave my mortal frame. As a pure soul atman... as a liberated soul atman I shall finally enter abode of God... kingdom of God... termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism... a point of no return!
. Albert Einstein the famous physicist indulged in spirituality in the later stages of life. He was so mesmerized by teachings of Bhagavad Gita that he wanted to know god through path of spirituality... not science. By the time Albert Einstein indulged in teachings of Bhagavad Gita... he was very old. Although he could distinctly identify God Almighty from the angle of spirituality... but he could not present the same to scientific community of that time for reasons apparent! None amongst the scientific fraternity would have understood what he wanted to say relating to God in terms of Bhagavad Gita. Truly Albert Einstein was a scientist of the highest order.
Science and spirituality are miles apart. Spirituality starts from the point where science ends. From limited power of senses... science none could ever visualize what God Almighty was all about. The domain of God Almighty was beyond perception of mankind. For knowing real truth of us... for realizing our true inner self... real self... our indulgence in world of spirits was mandated by God Almighty! The moment we realized we were a soul atman and not the manifest physical form... all was over for the soul atman within! One finally reached abode of God... kingdom of God.
Scriptures of all religions do not interfere with science. Both had different connotations. The world of science was created by God Almighty to live the physical manifest life in a meaningful way! On the contrary scriptures of different religions were meant for identifying self with God Almighty! To reach God almighty... the wisdom contained in scriptures of different religions was necessitated by God Almighty! In present times... wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism was the best source for reaching God Almighty in one's lifetime!
Furthermore, whatever was discovered by scientists... invented by scientists... everything existed in cosmos unveiled... hidden from mankind! Every fundamental principle of life was already available in scriptures like the big bang theory... origin of cosmos! Everything from A to Z of cosmos was contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Scientists only discovered... invented principles of life that were already covered in various sacred scriptures of different religions of world. They discovered nothing new... from time to time they only unveiled the hidden secrets of God Almighty!
Science was never meant by God Almighty as a
path to reach God! No matter how much a scientist indulged in searching for God Almighty through limited
parameters of science... one would remain unsuccessful in all such attempts... always and ever! And what did the
learned revered sages and saints of different era do... they only unveiled the hidden principles of life that
already existed in various scriptures of different religions of world! That was exactly how God Almighty
ordained human life to be... searching for immortal truths of life all the time! Can we ever talk to God... chat with God... have a conversation with God at will? Is talking to God really possible in the present materialistic world! People often say that in present Kali Yuga... metal age... Dark Age one could never reach God! Self realization... God realization... enlightenment was not possible in present scientific age when material needs weighed more against godly necessities!
But I have different opinion against all these above mentioned options. One could easily talk to God but also make it 24 x 7... Every second of life! One could commune with God Almighty on one-to-one basis every second of life by reaching stage of self realization... God realization... enlightenment even in present times! How?
Most human beings world over indulged in sacred scriptures literally... never realizing inner truths of life! So was not to be. The inner meaning of sacred scriptures... the teachings of Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism could never be realized literally... all demanded reading in between the lines! It is only by traveling path of pure spirituality human beings finally assimilated pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita and various sacred scriptures of different religions of world!
When six years of age I realized value of absolute truthfulness! Writing on board, "Following path of truthfulness was the best policy"... I felt extremely elated! Something within me stirred all the time when I was speaking absolute truth. I felt as if voice of God was speaking from inside. It was only later in life I realized it was not voice of God but my soul atman that prompted me from within! A feeling of extreme happiness... pleasure sank in whenever I was truthful in life!
Having realized importance of truth in early stages of life... I could hear the sweet small inner voice of my soul atman... that always guided me on the right path! Dictated by promptings of my soul atman... I started searching for God Almighty all the time. At that young age I did not know what God Almighty was all about still, I wanted to go in search of god wholeheartedly. When elders said it was not easy to find God in this life... I did not fully believe them.
I wanted to reach my own conclusions. I wanted to search for God my own way! Even if I do not get a preceptor to guide me in the journey of life, I was prepared for that! But I harbored ill will towards God Almighty... why was God not coming to my rescue in times of need... moments when I needed him most. It really surprised me why God was hiding all the time. As a child I did not believe in the fact that God Almighty did not exist physically. I somehow felt... he hid somewhere only to be discovered by someone! If that was to be me, I needed blessings of God Almighty all the time. Searching for God truly seemed difficult. Was it so that God was playing game of hide and seek? I was determined even more that in this very life I shall find God.
My search for God Almighty was out of proportion. 24 hours... every second... my inner conscience was searching for God Almighty! Externally I may be busy in routine affairs of life but internally I was all the time searching for God. People around me never came to know how serious I was in searching for God Almighty. For them... it was a child going berserk... perhaps finding a way to not to go to school... or abandoning my homework! My parents... my class teacher... my principal... my close nears and dears never understood what I was up to!
My dear principal... Brother Ambrose was very dear to me. He somehow had inkling that I was not a bad guy. His contribution in my life cannot be expressed in words. For me... he was truly an embodiment of God Almighty... someone who always wanted to assist me in my studies. My regards for Brother Ambrose... the erstwhile principal of St Gabriel's Academy, Roorkee was unknown to all. I deeply faithed in him... much more than in my own capability! Brother Ambrose truly was a help in disguise. Even after Brother Ambrose left St Gabriel's Academy as its principal... I continued meeting him for years to come. I just could not forget what he did for me.
If the world knows Vijay Kumar today... I owe it all to Brother Ambrose of St Gabriel Academy! I really could not have done it without him. People like Brother Ambrose are not born every day.
I was the short guy of the school but
Brother Ambrose was even shorter... 4'11". This young man had immense potential hidden within him. Primarily it
was Brother Ambrose who inspired confidence in life. Whenever I thought... I could not make it... I somehow felt
Brother Ambrose saying... you can always do it... if you really want to! Do you want me to show to you... and in
that aspect he really excelled. He always proved things by doing and showing them all by himself!
As I could not talk to God directly, I found solace in talking to my principal Brother Ambrose all the time. Even in odd hours... like nine o'clock in night I used to disturb him for clarifications! He never felt perturbed on this account as I was always willing to tell him truthfully reasons for my urgency. I once heard him talking to some students that they must become truthful like Vijay Kumar Jain. He was just confirming my belief in truthfulness... importance of truthfulness in life!
Coming back to subject of talking to God... my advice to one and all is... remain truthful always and ever in life if one wants to reach God Almighty in present life. Unless we were truthful all the time... we could never make it to the house of God Almighty... no matter what path we chose!
During my last two travails to United States of America exceeding three months reach... I finally realized why United States of America was number one country of the world. I am full of awe for people of United States of America. The community feeling... the feeling of respect for each other... respecting privacy of others... all these things were non-existent in my country India.
I truly wish United States of America could come out of present chaos but God Almighty destined otherwise. Only time will tell who wins the end.
Americans truly are human beings at heart. One could see image of God Almighty in most Americans who valued life as it was meant to be! Truly Americans are a breed apart from rest of world. If it was not for American politicians, America truly would have survived the present onslaught of politics!
I love the way Americans followed path of absolute truthfulness always and ever. The glowing faces... cheerfulness writ large on their faces said it all! They truly deserve to remain number one except for the American politicians. Americans repeatedly confirm value of truthfulness in all walks of life. I truly love the American spirit... the American enterprising spirit that existed in all affairs of life including their free library system! Their system of daycare schools is also par excellence.
Initially I could not understand what my young granddaughter after return from daycare school wanted to say! But after spending few weeks in America at my elder daughter's place... I could understand what my granddaughter was talking about. She was slowly learning intricacies of life by using words like... whatever... what... Mummy, Nanaji (maternal grandfather... that is me) is not being nice to me (even though fault rested with her most of time)!
I could only look at her and say... wow... and she winked laughing all the way!
That is what America is all about... that is
what American enterprising spirit is all about! Does it also mean that Americans were nearer to God than others
particularly Indian citizens! Even though essence of spirituality lay in India from beginning of time... but
spirituality was truly practiced in America than India! In India spirituality was limited to books... but in
America it was practiced every single day of life! God bless America for years to come! Even while praying to God in temples in India... most people chatted all the time! None seriously seemed to pray to God Almighty. Most people indulged in rituals... never truly realizing the power of prayers! One must say prayers to God Almighty as done by Christians' world over all the time. Christians really knew how to pray to God Almighty in all circumstances of life.
In India... people normally prayed to God only in times of need! None remembered God when happy! Prayers never were a one-sided medium. Unless we cared for community... unless we cared for total mankind... unless we cared for all children of God Almighty... blessings of God never become available to us... prime reason why prayers to God Almighty failed most of time!
We must always know how to pray to God
Almighty... if we truly seek grace of God Almighty all the time! By taking care of his children all the time...
by working for benefit of one and all... by remaining sincere and truthful in all walks of life... human beings
truly remembered God! Going to temples daily ceremoniously simply did not mean we were faithful to God Almighty
all the time.
If we desire God hearing our prayers most of time... we must learn value of prayers from Christian community! Only when we prayed to God Almighty for welfare of mankind... never asking anything in return... did the prayers work! Contrastingly in India most individuals prayed for individual benefit all the time... how could one expect God hearing their prayers?
Prayers are never a ritual... serious prayers did invoke blessings of God Almighty! Unless we understood meaning of prayer... why indulge in pure ritual and waste time! If we truly want to remember god... if we truly desire working for welfare of mankind, God Almighty never neglected our prayers that were eventually directed towards benefit of mankind!
God answers prayers when we knew how to pray... Say them! So many people world over say their prayers... some God answered... others not! Only those prayers got answered that were meant for benefit of humanity at large. Individual prayers... prayers for benefit of self carried no meaning in spiritual world. If we truly desire grace of God Almighty bestowed on us, we must learn how to pray to God all the time.
Saying grace and thanking god for answering our prayers is a powerful way to invoke blessings of God! If we know how to say our prayers in a meaningful way, God will definitely hear our prayers! But there is never something for nothing! Only when we worked for benefit of mankind did God hear us... never otherwise! We must never remain ignorant in matters spiritual. Praising God in hope of getting something from God Almighty is an absolute misnomer.
Only when we were truthful in our dealings
with God Almighty... did God hear our prayers! Worshipping God was easy but saying prayers equally difficult! If
Christians' world over could do it... so could others! Why not follow path of Christians when saying prayers to
God Almighty! Is Jesus God or son of God as per Bible? Which God were we talking of... God Almighty himself termed Brahman in Hinduism or just any God existing in various religions of world. The concept of God is best explained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. In Hinduism God Almighty is also termed Parmatman, Ishwar, Bhagwan, Sanatana Purusha, Karta and Prabhu etc. But identity of God Almighty in Hinduism is totally distinct from number of mythological gods existing in Hinduism.
If we term Jesus Christ as son of God... the more accepted version in Bible... then also we are wrong! Why? As per Bhagavad Gita every single human being on mother earth had the potential of becoming a man god like Jesus Christ. In other terms... every single human being could finally evolve into level of Jesus Christ... termed Jina... bodhi in Hinduism. Every single human being could gain enlightenment and finally reach level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed! Bhagavad Gita did not cap the individual potential of a human being!
Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism considers human birth as sacred. It was only in human form our soul atman... the spirit within finally succeeded in releasing self from cycle of birth and death forever! The human form is the last manifest stage in cosmic life cycle in this part of galaxy! Only in human form one finally reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and then moksha salvation! The moment human beings gained moksha salvation... the liberated soul atman finally entered abode of God... kingdom of God... termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism (a point of no return).
Jesus Christ could never be considered a son of God for the following two prime reasons:
1. God Almighty... termed Brahman in Hinduism was pure consciousness... it was not the form of human beings. This pure consciousness... the sum total of all pure souls’ atmans in cosmos manifests entire cosmos! In other words god existed everywhere. In the circumstances... how could Jesus be son of God? This interpretation of Christianity was an absolute misnomer... prime reason why Christianity feared coming of Antichrist... when fallacies in teachings of Christianity would be laid bare!
2. As all human beings had potential to
reach stage of Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha or Mahavira... thinking of Jesus Christ as son of God was wrong
interpretation. The ultimate goal of life for all human beings rested in spirituality. It was traveling
spiritual path all man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed finally gained
enlightenment in their lifetime! The highest stage a human being could reach in life was stage of an enlightened
one! For an enlightened one... the cosmic journey of life finally came to an end.
Jesus Christ was no son of God is proved from the fact that in entire history of mankind... other than Jesus Christ none other reached stage of enlightenment in West. As long as we considered Jesus Christ a son of God, why would commoners’ masses try to reach stage of enlightenment in their lifetime! Unless followers of Christianity came out of this rut of life... nothing worthwhile could be gained by any Christian in field of pure spirituality. Comparatively in India in history of Hinduism not hundreds... but thousands gained enlightenment... reaching end of cosmic journey!
In the last about 150 years amongst 7 billion people existing world over... Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana gained enlightenment... reaching cosmic end of life! Both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana started their search of God via path of bhakti but finally both switched to path of jnana yoga ... path of absolute wisdom as detailed in Bhagavad Gita. Human beings reaching stage of an enlightened one was ordained by God Almighty. It had nothing to do with human desires or wishes! Why so?
As per Bhagavad Gita we are primarily a spirit... a soul atman on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... that entailed an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years! We were not a human form that manifested a soul atman... the cosmic spirit! It was not within the capability of human form... the physical manifest form to manifest a soul atman. Our soul atman manifested human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within! The moment complete dross impurities within a soul atman removed forever... it gained absolute purity. The liberated soul atman finally entered kingdom of God... termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism!
The entire wisdom of Jesus Christ had its roots in India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha)! When 13 years of age... Jesus Christ stowed on a ship to India to learn intricacies of life! The missing years in life of Jesus Christ (14 to 29) explained it all. During his stay in India, Jesus Christ gained entire wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises). When he returned... he was an enlightened one... a bodhi... a Jina like Mahavira or Gautama Buddha!
The essence of spirituality laid in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Assimilating gist of 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita... any human being world over... belonging to any religion, faith or belief could easily reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) forever! For learning essence of Bhagavad Gita... the inner meaning of shlokas verses... one need not convert to Hinduism! Even while following ones religion one could easily digest precepts of Bhagavad Gita.
Jesus Christ... not a God is also proved from the fact that we as a soul atman were an essence of God Almighty! If an independent grain of sand is an independent soul atman... the entire mound God Almighty. The simple definition of God Almighty was... sum total of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form at a given moment of time. At the time of big bang when God Almighty exploded self to form present cosmos... all pure souls atmans scattered all over cosmos at unimaginable speeds! This spread of souls confirms existence of God everywhere in cosmos! We as a soul atman meant we are a tiny fraction of God Almighty in miniscule form.
As per spirituality... no soul atman was separate from God Almighty! Every soul atman was of the same essence as God Almighty. We as a soul atman had the power to explode trillions of atomic bombs in a flicker of a second. The power of us as pure soul atman is beyond comprehension of normal human beings... prime reason why human beings failed to understand essence of God Almighty in its entirety!
As a human being we must all try to become a
Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha or Mahavira in present life! That was the most we could do in life... nothing
beyond! Existence of God was never disputed in Hinduism. Existence of God in cosmos could never be disputed. Why? It is only when God Almighty exploded self with a big bang... the present cosmos formed. If life existed in cosmos... it proved existence of souls' atmans in cosmos. And all souls’ atmans were integral part of God Almighty. In absence of God almighty... there would never be a single soul atman in entire cosmos... nor there any life!
In spite such glaring facts of life... some human beings still disputed existence of God Almighty in cosmos. Philosophers particularly from West trying to prove existence of God Almighty a myth... were total ignorants on path of pure spirituality. The field of spirituality was beyond comprehension of all philosophers of world. In the field of pure spirituality... philosophers of the world were as ignorant as commoners... one from masses!
Existence of God has rightly been proved in most sacred texts of different religions of world! The authority of Hinduism in field of pure spirituality is recognized world over. The domain of God Almighty... the essence of God Almighty could only be reached by undertaking spiritual journey. God Almighty was never a matter for speculation by philosophers’ world over!
The entire age of enlightenment as discussed
by philosophers of West is an absolute farce. Philosophy had nothing to do with field of enlightenment...
kaivalya jnana! The path of spirituality could only be covered by traveling path of jnana yoga... path of
absolute wisdom! As philosophers world over had no inkling what jnana yoga of Hinduism was all about... they
were totally incompetent to deal with matters concerning God Almighty... path of spirituality!
The world of God Almighty related to spirituality... never the physical manifest world! Only by realizing our true inner self... essence of our soul atman... the spirit within human beings finally unveiled hidden cosmic truths of life that existed in various sacred texts of different religions of world! The origin of God Almighty... the absolute truths of God Almighty can only be known by traveling path of spirituality... never path of religion... path of rituals!
Philosophers feared traveling path of pure spirituality as they were totally incompetent to undertake spiritual journey... path of unknown! Has a single philosopher in the entire history of mankind ever reached stage of enlightenment? It could never be. Spirituality is beyond capture of philosophy. For realizing abstract truths of life we had to indulge in sacred scriptures of different religions of world. That was beyond comprehension of most philosophers of world.
Atheists’ world over failed to accept existence of God Almighty as the entire concept of spirituality was beyond their comprehension! Why blame God Almighty for our own incompetence?
God is not imaginary. Proof of existence of
God laid in sacred Bhagavad Gita and various Upanishads (independent treatises) of Hinduism. Vedas (Hinduism revelations) were the
first words of God invoked from God Almighty. If the existence of God Almighty was disputed... how was wisdom of
Vedas invoked by mankind? Belief or no belief... existence of God Almighty could never be disputed at any stage
of life. God is dog spelled backwards... does that click anything to you! Of all things in world... how is it that dog relates to God in any way! Was it how God wanted it or is it just sheer speculation!
If I am not wrong, "dog spelled backwards is god" was stipulated by God Almighty! Human beings had nothing to do with it. Why?
As ordained by God Almighty... unless human beings were as sincere... as faithful as a dog... one could not travel spiritual path sincerely and diligently and reach god in ones lifetime! It was an absolutely true fact of life... that only by pursuing dog mentality human beings finally reached their ultimate goal of life... stage of enlightenment... termed kaivalya jnana in Hinduism!
Faith in God Almighty is not a matter of chance or speculation. Unless we had hundred percent faith in God Almighty... the level of faith that a dog expressed in his master... one truly could not make it on the spiritual platform. Most human beings world over indulged in teachings of Bhagavad Gita without ever developing absolute faith in God Almighty.
Such human beings never came to understand the wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita. Why?
Lord in God Almighty was an important ingredient on path of pure spirituality! Path of bhakti demanded absolute faith in God Almighty that did not exist in present times... prime reason why in the present scientific age none could reach God via path of bhakti yoga alone.
No matter how best Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa or Maharishi Ramana tried... they could not make it to God Almighty via path of bhakti yoga alone. Finally both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana switched to path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom to reach God Almighty in their lifetime!
Absolute faith as a dog expressed in his master was necessitated for travellers of spiritual path. Throughout my life right from six years of age I had absolute faith in God Almighty. Even if God Almighty came disguised to sway me from my path... I would have not! My faith in God was always absolute... unwavering... prime reason why I reached portals of God Almighty in the early hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age.
God and dog truly are connected to each
other. Wow!
Our relationship with God is that of father and child. Gender issues do not come into play when dealing with God Almighty. For God... every single human being on mother earth was a child of God! Our relationship with mother earth is that of mother and child. As no child could practically survive in absence of mother... in absence of mother earth, life of human beings carried no meaning. Why?
The relationship between god, mother earth and human beings is best detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. As per Bhagavad Gita unless God Almighty exploded self with a big bang... the present cosmos would not have formed! The explosion of big bang gave rise to independent souls atmans hurtling on their cosmic journey. In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
As we are primarily a soul atman on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... we are in fact a tiny portion of God Almighty in miniscule form. But we imbibed dross impurities during our cosmic sojourn. To cleanse self of dross impurities within started cosmic life cycle of every soul atman. For a soul atman to cleanse self... a mother earth was necessitated. In absence of a life supporting planet like mother earth... no soul atman could manifest itself... work out its karma!
No sooner life supporting planets like mother earth evolved in cosmic system... hurtling souls' atmans immediately started manifesting life. The relationship between soul atman and mother earth was truly that of mother and child. In scriptures of Hinduism... there is no ambiguity on this matter... prime reason why both sun and mother earth were highly respected in Hindu holy texts! For souls atmans to manifest... existence of life supporting planets like mother earth was a must!
As sun represents God Almighty... the relationship of sun with life supporting planet like mother earth was that of father and mother. It was because of presence of both... a soul atman finally reached its logical end... 8.4 millionth manifestation... when human beings gained enlightenment and finally moksha salvation.
Mans relationship with God could never be undermined. As human beings we must always worship God Almighty as our father and planet Earth as our mother. Whenever we respected our physical parents... indirectly we prayed to our eternal Father and mother. Human beings who did not respect their biological parents... suffered at hands of God Almighty and mother earth. Scriptures of Hinduism like Bhagavad Gita were absolutely clear on this point.
Developing a personal relationship with God
and mother earth was an absolute must for all travellers of spiritual path. We are practically gods’ children.
We could not complete spiritual journey in absence of blessings of God Almighty. It was very important for human
beings on mother earth to respect godly father and planet Earth as our father and mother! We just could not do
without them.
Definition of God as per Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism was... combined power of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form. This cosmic consciousness... the size of half a thumb at the beginning of cosmos... unable to retain itself in its prime pure state explodes with a big bang to form present cosmos. Does it mean God Almighty is the singularity in the beginning of time that exploded self to form present cosmos... yes, the cosmic truth is so!
No other scripture belonging to any other religion defined God in this manner. Truly... the right definition of God Almighty was beyond comprehension of most human beings on mother earth! Why? Anything related to God Almighty only becomes clear by traveling spiritual path. Followers of religion... rituals never came to understand anything related to God Almighty! All the more... none ever reached God remaining religious... following rituals!
God Almighty can only be reached via path of spirituality. The moment human beings reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana in Hinduism)... the complete picture of cosmos emerged before one including definition of God Almighty. The essence of God... true essence of life can only be realized by undertaking spiritual journey... path of unknown!
If we asked someone... who is god or define god... none could comply! People world over were ignorants in matters spiritual. It is not within the capability of normal human beings to define god... prime reason why even best scientists world over failed to understand anything related to God Almighty. Spirituality was beyond capture of science. In fact spirituality starts from the point where science ends.
To know god... to realize God... indulgence in sacred texts of Hinduism were necessitated! Only by assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... human beings finally knew answers to all questions about God. One who realized self ultimately reached 8.4 millionth manifestation... the stage when human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally moksha salvation! Realizing self... realizing God always meant the same!
If we ever wanted to know... who is god or what was God... we must undertake spiritual journey that directly took us to abode of God Almighty... kingdom of God Almighty.
God was not the form of human beings. God Almighty... cluster of all souls’ atmans in their pure form was pure consciousness... power of which could never be realized by mortal human beings! Realizing definition of God meant... reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation... last in cosmic life cycle! Realizing self... knowing God was the ultimate goal of life for all human beings on mother earth. The earliest we traveled spiritual path... better for us as we do not know after death of present body what form our soul atman manifested in next life. In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
As ordained in Bhagavad Gita... all human
beings on mother earth must have only one goal of life... reach God Almighty at the earliest. Only then one
could truly understand what God Almighty was all about.
Words of wisdom from god were available in abundance. In Hinduism earliest messages from God were termed Vedas (Hinduism revelations)! The four primary Vedas of Hinduism namely Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda consisted all that was worth knowable by human beings. The wisdom contained in Vedas flowed through word of mouth from generation to generation. The moment Lipi (written script) evolved on mother earth... everything contained in Vedas was reduced to written form.
The invocation of wisdom of god was done by highly accomplished sages and saints of different era. Revelations from God exposed mankind to words of wisdom comprehending which sages and saints of different era finally gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation moksha!
For human beings to invoke wisdom of God is not easy. It can only be done by travellers of spiritual path... spiritual seekers who finally succeeded in establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. As dross impurities within our soul atman decreased gradually... one reached higher stages of spiritual evolution. By practising celibacy for 12 years in continuation... human beings finally succeeded in full kundalini awakening.
Full awakening of kundalini announced human beings reaching stage of enlightenment forever.
In present times wisdom of god could only be
invoked by one who was absolutely truthful in all affairs of life. Not a single element of untruth was accepted
by God Almighty. By remaining truthful, human beings finally awakened Kundalini Shakti,
the coiled
Serpentine energy lying dormant in base of spine! The moment kundalini
serpent reached center of forehead... all was over for the spiritual traveler! One finally became an enlightened one... a bodhi... a Jina... a Mahavira!
Wisdom of God could never be invoked by one traveling path of religion... path of rituals! God Almighty can never be reached by remaining religious... one needs traveling spiritual path to reach God in one's lifetime. The inner meanings of revelations of God only become available by traveling path of pure spirituality... never path of religion... rituals! No matter how many times we read Bhagavad Gita... the inner meanings unveiled only to travellers of spiritual path.
Wisdom of God was available to one and all in form of sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. The four Vedas... the initial revelations of God were voluminous documents. To make it easy for mankind, Lord Krishna... an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form) juiced four Vedas reducing it to one single scripture... sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism!
By assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... any human being world over... belonged to any religion, faith or belief could easily reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation! For following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita... one need not convert to Hinduism religion ever!
The teachings of Bhagavad Gita... wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita were universal in nature! Also it did not dilute with passage of time. The original gist of Bhagavad Gita... the original teachings of Bhagavad Gita are available for mere $.60 (Rs. 30/=) from Gita press, Gorakhpur, India and that too with English transliteration.
This only proves that God Almighty made sure
that wisdom of God was available to one and all... every single human being on mother earth... almost free of
all costs! We had only to follow teachings of Bhagavad Gita by traveling spiritual path as contents of Bhagavad
Gita could never be understood literally... it demands reading in between the lines. For reaching God via path of bhakti Marga... bhakti yoga... total faith in God Almighty was an absolute must! In present scientific age inculcating full faith in God Almighty almost seemed impossible... prime reason why in present Kali Yuga... dark age... metal age human beings could reach God only via path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom... never bhakti Marga! People world over underestimated power of faith in God! It is having absolute faith in God Almighty from beginning of life... I finally reached portals of God Almighty in the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age. When six years of age... teachings of truthfulness fascinated me! I wanted to remain truthful and pure all throughout life. It is remaining truthful in life I finally succeeded in hearing sweet small inner voice of my soul atman... that seemed to come from within my heart. Prompted by dictates of my soul atman... I finally realized God... realized self in my lifetime. Our soul atman always prompts us on right path. In Hinduism a soul is termed atman. The power of total faith in God Almighty became clear to me... moment I realized God in 1993!
By having absolute faith in God Almighty... human beings could reach any goal in life! To avail choicest blessings
of God Almighty... to avail grace of God Almighty all the time... existence of total faith in God Almighty was an
absolute must. Why blame God Almighty for karma performed by us? As long we continued to blame God Almighty for anything in life... we could not develop total faith in God Almighty. What is faith in God... is best explained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Total faith in God... termed shraddha in Hinduism made human beings cut rut of life. One could negate karma to zero only by having absolute faith in God Almighty. Zero karma meant becoming an enlightened one... a bodhi... a Jina... a Mahavira! Simple belief in God meant nothing on spiritual path. Most human beings world over traveled path of religion... path of rituals for reaching God! In absence of absolute faith in God almighty... such travellers of religion never reached anywhere. Seekers of God... possessing willpower demonstrated by Swami Vivekananda and having full faith in God Almighty, finally reached God! By traveling path of spirituality... one developed belief in God step-by-step slowly! No matter how best we tried... total faith in God Almighty could not be developed overnight. We had to practice patience, persistence and perseverance of the highest order to establish absolute faith in God Almighty... Reach God in present life. Presence of absolute faith in God Almighty right from six years of age must have been from
past life. Nothing I did in this world at six years of age could have made me develop absolute faith in God
Almighty. I was truly blessed by God in the initial stages of life. One thing was definite about God Almighty... if
we pursued God with the bulldog determination exhibited by Swami Vivekananda... there was no reason that we could
not reach God in present life! Wow!? Can we ever chat with God... talk to God in person? I get so many queries from world over... people wanting to chat with God... come nearer to God but none wanted to travel spiritual path that took one directly to God Almighty. All traveled path of religion... path of rituals that never led one to God Almighty... no matter how best we tried! People were afraid to travel spiritual path... path of loneliness... path of unknown! Path of religion was comparatively easy to travel.
Path of spirituality... path of spirit is the one that took human beings directly to God Almighty. Why? As detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... we are primarily a spirit... a soul atman... cosmic consciousness that manifested physical human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within. The removal of complete dross impurities within soul atman required a chain of 8.4 million manifestations... entailing an earthly journey of 96.4 million years.
In human form itself we had 1.1 million different manifestations before our soul atman finally liberated self from cycle of birth and death forever. This happened when human beings reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) forever. In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
Does this mean we can chat with God only when we gained enlightenment... not before... yes, cosmic truth of life is so! Intermittent chatting with God was possible while traveling spiritual path but a permanent chatting with God on one-to-one basis only became possible after one reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana in Hinduism) forever.
Chatting with God was an experience that could never be expressed in words. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa did it... so did Maharishi Ramana! All human gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... chatted with God Almighty all the time! After gaining enlightenment... indulging in a conversation with God was not difficult. One could speak to God... talk to God as if chatting with god online.
Only by undertaking spiritual journey... only by realizing our true inner self... only by traveling path of spirit human beings finally reached their pure self! We as a soul atman gained absolute purity, moment our karma negated to zero. Karma gets negated to zero only by establishing absolute control over five senses and mind. Furthermore practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years results in full kundalini awakening.
Full awakening of Kundalini Shakti announced opening of Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petaled Lotus) existing in our brain behind forehead. One immediately became an enlightened one... a bodhi... a Jina... a Mahavira! Gaining enlightenment was not easy but for a serious seeker of spirituality like Swami Vivekananda... it was never too difficult. If we had the will, God Almighty helped us all the way! We must only know how to say our prayers to God Almighty.
Most human beings world over prayed to God to fulfill their selfish motives. Can such prayers be answered by God Almighty? Such prayers always remained unanswered by God. Only when we thought welfare of society at large... only when we worked for the interest of mankind all the time... did God Almighty come to our rescue in times of need. Path to God Almighty was one-sided. Journey of spirituality is a one-way path.
Having started on spiritual path... one could never return to normal routines of life! We must always tread spiritual path with caution. Although spiritual journey took us directly to God Almighty... but it also took away all our earthly relationships. Comes a stage in spiritual life when all earthly relationships come to naught! As we were primarily a spirit... we could never have an earthly relationship. As per Bhagavad Gita no soul atman is connected to another soul atman.
Before wanting to chat with God Almighty... one thing must be made absolutely clear... whether we wanted to travel spiritual path or not in present life. God Almighty truly could only be reached by undertaking spiritual journey... never path of religion... path of rituals! Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is absolutely clear on this point. Man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed finally reached God via path of spirituality detailed in Bhagavad Gita!
Lastly but not the least... path of spirituality can be traveled in present times only through scriptures of Hinduism... particularly sacred Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in battle of Mahabharata. There were times when human beings reached God via path of bhakti... bhakti yoga! Complete surrender to God was necessitated for traveling path of bhakti yoga. In present materialistic age complete surrender to God was impossible. Why?
Both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana initially started in search of God via path of bhakti yoga but finally both switched to path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom to reach God Almighty! In present Kali Yuga... Dark Age... metal age one could reach God only via path of self enquiry... path of Neti (not this, not this) as practiced and preached by Maharishi Ramana... Sage of Arunachala... one who gained enlightenment in his lifetime!
Path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom simply meant indulging in wisdom contained in sacred scriptures of different religions of world. However in present times... one need not refer to Vedas (Hinduism revelations) or Upanishads (independent treatises). Only by following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita one could easily gain enlightenment in present life. Unless we contemplated on texts in sacred scriptures... we could not gain enlightenment ever!
Contemplation on God was part of spiritual life. Simply by reading Bhagavad Gita literally we never reached anywhere. One had to learn to read in between the lines to reach gist... essence of Bhagavad Gita! For reaching inner meanings contained in any sacred scripture... total contemplation was necessitated by God Almighty. This could only be done via path of self enquiry!
I am a Hindu... a Jain does not mean I advocate teachings of Hinduism! I am open to all religions... I respect all religions as much as I respected Hinduism and Jainism. But one thing is certain... wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita had no parallel in mankind. Lord Krishna was the first to come. Then followed Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed!
Teachings of Bhagavad Gita contained truth
but only truth. It is only following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita human beings could finally chat with
God every moment of life 24 x 7! Searching for God in America or India... one can understand but searching for God in sacred scriptures of different religions of world is something most human beings world over would never understand! Why? God Almighty did not exist in sacred scriptures of different religions of world alone. It existed in day-to-day minor affairs of life. Unless we were truthful to all... unless we were truthful to self... no point searching for god at any stage of life!
Most human beings particularly in India went in search of God with a materialistic attitude. A decorated God... a decorated Temple... human beings decorated to best was their motto. There search for God was outwardly. Having no inkling what God Almighty was all about... all seemed to follow path of religion that never led to God Almighty. Searching for God in books of religion was an absolute farce. God Almighty could only be reached via books of spirituality... never religion!
Sacred scriptures like Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism relate to spirituality... not religion! Even Upanishads (independent treatises) related to spirituality... never path of religion... path of rituals! If we are to find god... look for God in this life... our undertaking spiritual journey was mandated by God Almighty. Why? God Almighty was never the form of human beings. God Almighty... the cluster of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their purified state truly existed in our heart. How?
We are primarily a spirit... a soul atman on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations. If we are an independent grain of sand... the whole mound God Almighty. God Almighty existed within us in miniscule form as our soul atman. In Hinduism a soul is termed atman. It is cosmic consciousness that pervaded entire cosmos. Every soul atman manifested human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within! The moment human beings negated karma to zero... our search for God Almighty completed in totality.
The moment human beings gained enlightenment... our search for God ceased to exist. For an enlightened one, God Almighty almost existed next door! We were as near to God as could be. An enlightened one could chat with God on one-to-one basis permanently. For an enlightened one the cosmic journey of life finally came to an end. The goal of spiritual life was one and only one... reaching God in this life. Gaining enlightenment meant end of spiritual journey forever.
If we are serious about searching for God Almighty in this life... we must become truthful from within. Unless we were truthful in all affairs of life... one would never reach God... no matter what! I receive many queries that said, I read Bhagavad Gita many times but inner truths of life still evade me. How could I explain to such ignorants of spiritual path that existence of God Almighty could only be known by remaining truthful throughout life!
For a serious seeker of spirituality... the present physical manifest world carried no meaning! The moment we started spiritual journey... all relationships of physical manifest world came to naught. In the present Kali Yuga... Dark Age... metal age dominated by bloated egos and greed for materialistic riches... to search for God was really difficult! Only an ardent seeker of spirituality like Swami Vivekananda finally reached God Almighty.
I say with firm conviction that unless one had the inherent capability of Swami Vivekananda... one could never reach God in present life time. It was not that remaining a bachelor was an absolute necessity of spiritual path... but practising celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) was an absolute must. Unless one indulged in 12 years practice of Brahmacharya Vrata (absolute celibacy)... one could not realize God in one's lifetime.
Practising celibacy for 12 years finally resulted in full awakening of kundalini energy... the coiled Serpentine energy lying dormant in base of spine! Full kundalini awakening resulted in opening of Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petaled Lotus) existing in our brain behind forehead. One immediately reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) forever. Gaining enlightenment meant reaching God in one's lifetime forever. One finally gained absolute purity as a soul atman.
When people said... God I need help... where do I search for you... they were not serious about searching for God Almighty. It is apparent that God could never be reached via path of religion still, most human beings indulged in various religious rituals of life. There was never a shortcut to reaching God still, human beings always tried to cut short in searching for God with whatever religious means feasible. All human gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed indulged in path of spirituality for reaching God.
When Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana tried searching for God via path of religion... path of bhakti yoga... path of rituals... they failed! Eventually both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana switched to path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom for reaching God in their lifetime. Path of jnana yoga... absolute wisdom simply meant assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita. This became possible by contemplating on wisdom contained in sacred scriptures like Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads (independent treatises).
As ordained by God Almighty... in a span of hundred years or so a maximum of one or two human beings reached God. Imagine if hundred Mahaviras, 50 Gautama Buddhas reached God simultaneously. It would create a totally hazardous situation when none would know whom to worship and who not. Praising God Almighty... the omnipotent Brahman was one matter... but following teachings of 50 enlightened ones simultaneously would definitely pose problems.
An ardent seeker of spirituality knew it
all. One must truthful and sincerely follow teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Our search for God
would end the moment one realized God... realized self! Realizing our true inner self... realizing our real self
meant reaching God Almighty forever. Practice of pranayama (breathing process) was an absolute must for reaching
our true inner self... our soul atman... the spirit within that existed in our heart! Where is God... God is everywhere... so goes the adage! But what does it truly mean? How could we say with authority that God existed everywhere?
The concept of God Almighty is best explained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Starting from beginning of time when God Almighty exploded self with a big bang... all pure souls atmans scattered all over cosmos at unimaginable speeds. In the melee hurtling souls atmans gathered impurities. To cleanse self of dross impurities within started cosmic life cycle of every soul atman. In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
And how do souls atmans relate to God Almighty. If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman... the whole mound God Almighty. The collective power of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form is what we called God Almighty. God Almighty is pure consciousness... collective consciousness the power of which is beyond comprehension of human beings. Only by traveling spiritual path human beings finally came to know who is God... where is God!
As souls atmans existed all over cosmos... so does God Almighty! God even existed within every human being in miniscule form as our soul atman. This confirms the saying that God is everywhere. However for a soul atman to regain its lost original pure prime pristine primordial form... it had to go through cycle of 8.4 million manifestations before it finally liberated self from cycle of birth and death forever... reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation... last in cosmic life cycle!
Existence of God in cosmos can only be understood in spiritual parlance. God Almighty was not the form of human beings. It is a source of magnanimous colossal cosmic energy. At the time of dissolution of cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... the entire cosmos reduced to size of half a thumb. This half a thumb... the collective power of all purified souls atmans in cosmos is what we defined as God Almighty. The sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is absolutely clear on this point.
To know identity of God one had to take spiritual journey. Unless we reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana in Hinduism) one never realized god... realized self! Anything related to God Almighty can only be known by undertaking unknown path of spirituality that always led human beings to God Almighty. As many human beings... as many different paths to God Almighty can there be. The spiritual path is a path of contemplation... path of self enquiry!
Unless we contemplated on God through path of Neti (not this, not this) one could never know who God Almighty was. By negating everything that was not God one finally reached the source... God Almighty himself! When I started in search of God 11 years of age... I had no inkling what God Almighty was all about. But I had absolute faith in God Almighty from the beginning of life. I finally decided... I had to reach God within this life... come whatever may!
25 years of yoga meditation... 14 years practice of absolute celibacy in continuation finally led me to God Almighty when in the wee hours of third of August 1993... I finally came in direct contact with God Almighty. Since then I am in communion with God Almighty every second of life. I can see God... I can talk to God... I can walk with God every second of life. This is my last manifestation on mother earth... 8.4 millionth manifestation!
I followed the path undertaken by Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana... the two spiritual stalwarts who gained enlightenment in their lifetime! Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa is spiritual master of Swami Vivekananda... the revered disciple saint of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa. Searching for God... looking for God was never difficult but traveling spiritual path definitely was. This is the reason why people preferred traveling path of religion... path of rituals!
The moment we identified self as a soul atman on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... that entailed an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years... our existence as a human being comes to naught. From now onwards our entire life is dedicated to cleansing of self by indulging in nishkama karma. And what is nishkama karma? Offering fruits of karma performed to God Almighty all the time... was what nishkama karma all about!
As our soul atman is the absolute master and controller of human body... the fruits of karma performed by human beings always belonged to our soul atman... the inherent spirit! Spiritual path can only be traveled nishkama karma way. While remaining religious... one could never indulge in nishkama karma. In a life dominated by bloated egos and greed for materialistic riches... to think of indulging in nishkama karma was simply out of question.
This is the prime reason why travellers of spiritual path could never reach God via path of bhakti... bhakti yoga! In the present scientific age God Almighty could only be reached via path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom! The act of nishkama karma demanded total surrender to God Almighty which in present Kali Yuga... Dark Age... metal age seemed impossible! No matter how best one tried to reach God via path of bhakti... one would never be successful.
The art of contemplation was the mantra for
today. Unless we indulged in proper self enquiry... path of Neti (not this, not this) we could never contemplate
on God Almighty. To cut across shackles of karma forever contemplation on God Almighty was an absolute must. To
know where is God, where did God come from... our indulgence in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism was mandated by
God Almighty! Assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita... any human being
world over could easily know... where was God! More on Where
is God
In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
As per Bhagavad Gita... collective power of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure state is called God Almighty. The definition of God Almighty was clear from the beginning of time. But to know God our undertaking spiritual journey was an absolute must. Through path of bhakti yoga... path of rituals... none could reach God in present times. Complete surrender to God Almighty in the present materialistic age seemed out of question. Even spiritual stalwarts like Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana initially started their search for God via path of bhakti yoga.
But realizing that God could never be reached in absence of contemplation... self enquiry... both finally switched to path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom! Path of jnana yoga is path of contemplation... concentrating on God Almighty all the time. It was only through path of Neti (not this, not this) human beings finally negated everything in cosmos and what remained was God Almighty in all its cosmic glory! Unless we negated karma to zero ... one could never reach God!
Emancipation from cycle of birth and death forever became possible only by traveling spiritual path... never path of religion... rituals! Most world over indulged in books of religion to reach God. Such ignorant seekers of religion never truly gained anything in life. I have come across many people who ceremoniously went to temples for above 15 years spending two hours daily praying to God Almighty. The end result was almost zero. What use traveling path of religion?
The true identity of God Almighty can only be known by indulgence in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita... any human being world over could easily reach God... realize God... realize self in present life. In the present material world... one need not refer to Vedas (Hinduism revelations) or even Upanishads (independent treatises). Whatever is contained in Bhagavad Gita sufficed for human beings to know God... reach God in entirety!
Truly God was not different from us. God Almighty existed within every human being in miniscule form as our soul atman. To know God... we had to search for our true identity. We had to know that we are primarily cosmic consciousness... a soul atman... the spirit within! Through pranayama (breathing process) human beings could reach the source that required breath. As our soul atman existed in our heart... through proper techniques of meditation yoga... pranayama, human beings could easily reach their soul atman... the spirit within... finally realizing self forever!
The moment we realized God... realized
self... all queries like... Does God really exist, Can we believe in the existence of God came to rest! If we
exist... if we as a soul atman existed... so does God Almighty... the source of all things cosmic! Unless God
Almighty exploded self with a big bang... the present cosmos would not have formed. Our existence proved beyond
doubt that God Almighty definitely existed in cosmos. Finding god was easy Hinduism way. Why? It was only through path of spirituality detailed in Bhagavad Gita human beings finally reached God. God could never be found in various temples, churches or mosques people visited frequently! Path of religion... path of rituals never took one to God Almighty. If we are to see God in this life... our undertaking spiritual journey was an absolute must!
People often thought that there are many ways to find god. But of all paths leading to God... one that was applicable in present scientific age was path of Bhagavad Gita... doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata. Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism contained truth and only truth. Following wisdom contained in 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita human beings finally reached God in their lifetime.
To know God... to find god in present materialistic age... we had to travel path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom as detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Path of jnana yoga simply meant path of self enquiry... path of Neti (not this, not this) as practiced and preached by Maharishi Ramana... one who realized God in his lifetime! God is never found in sacred texts of different religions... holy books only acted as a medium to reach God.
Before finding god we had to know the definition of God Almighty. God Almighty was not the form of human beings. God Almighty is collective power of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their purified state! For reaching God... for finding god we had to travel inner journey... path of spirituality that directly took us to our soul atman... the spirit within! In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
The moment human beings realized their true inner self... one reached source of all things cosmic. We are primarily not a physical manifest form that manifested a soul atman. In fact... we are a spirit... a cosmic consciousness that manifested human body to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within! If we are to reach God in this life... we had to reach our true inner self... our soul atman... the spirit within!
For reaching our real self... journey of spirituality was mandated by God Almighty. It is by indulging in wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita human beings finally reached their soul atman... the spirit within! By indulging in self enquiry... path of Neti (not this, not this)... by contemplating on God human beings slowly negated everything that was not God. Finally what remained was God Almighty in all its glory. The moment our karma negated to zero forever... one finally reached God!
Furthermore God was always Nirakaar in form (having no form). Those who worshipped Sakaar form of God (having a form) never reached God in their lifetime. God could only be reached through the intellectual path detailed in sacred scriptures of different religions of world. For negating karma to zero forever... we had to establish absolute control over five senses and mind. Furthermore practice of absolute celibacy for a minimum of 12 years in continuation was necessitated. It is only then our kundalini awakened fully.
The moment kundalini... the coiled Serpentine energy lying dormant in base of spine awakened fully... Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petaled Lotus) existing in our brain behind forehead opened fully. One immediately became an enlightened one... reaching stage of enlightenment forever! Does it mean... for reaching God one had to reach stage of enlightenment... yes, cosmic truth is so! Unless one gained enlightenment... one could never reach God in our lifetime!
Reaching God, realizing God and realizing self... all meant the same! By following precepts contained in Bhagavad Gita... by following path undertaken by Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana... I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age. This is my last manifestation on mother earth. As a soul atman I have finally gained absolute purity. Nowhere further to go... I shall attain moksha salvation moment I leave my mortal frame!
Having realized God... I can have a communion with God Almighty on one-to-one basis every second of life! Reaching God in life is difficult... traveling spiritual path was like traveling razors edge... but for one who had to reach God in present life... nothing was impossible! I can emphatically say that one who had the willpower demonstrated by Swami Vivekananda can definitely reach God in present life.
God Almighty is not to be found outside...
it always existed within us in miniscule form as our soul atman! By realizing self... we realized God forever...
found God forever. More on How to Find God
For realizing complete entity of God our traveling spiritual path was necessitated by God Almighty. Unless we were spiritual in nature... we could never realize God. To understand origin of God... our traveling religious path... path of rituals carried no meaning! We had to be spiritual... we had to undertake spiritual journey to realize where did god come from.
As per Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism one thing is certain... if we exist... so did God Almighty! The existence of God could not be disputed at any stage of life. The analogy of... who created god is best detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. As per Bhagavad Gita God Almighty exists from times immemorial! There was no beginning of time for God Almighty.
In spite of the fact that God existed from times immemorial, God is the creator of everything cosmic! As per Bhagavad Gita it is only when God Almighty exploded self with a big bang... the present cosmos formed! And why would God Almighty explode self? What was the need for God Almighty to create present cosmos?
As per Bhagavad Gita when dissolution of old cosmos occurred (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... the size of entire cosmos reduces to size of half a thumb. This magnanimous pure primordial cosmic energy... the size of half a thumb... is what we called God Almighty! The sum total of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their purified state is called God Almighty.
In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
In its pristine form... size of half a thumb... God Almighty unable to contain itself for long in its prime pure state again explodes with a big bang resulting in formation of a new cosmos... a new beginning of life! The entire details of big bang theory existed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism from times immemorial. Lord Krishna came about 3600 years before now.
The scientific fraternity accepted the concept of big bang theory few decades ago but everything related to big bang theory already existed in Hinduism from beginning of time. The sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism consisted of everything that relates to present cosmos! From beginning of life to dissolution of cosmos... everything is detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism.
As per Hinduism God Almighty exploded self to form present cosmos! The moment dissolution of cosmos occurred... the present cosmos would reduce to size of half a thumb. Immediately thereafter... this magnanimous primordial ball of pure energy we called God would explode again with a big bang to form new cosmos. This cycle of big bang theory and dissolution of cosmos is an unending process. This confirms that God exists from times immemorial.
As per doctrine of Bhagavad Gita, God Almighty had a beginning and an end but still, it exists from times immemorial! The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita was presented to mankind by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata between Pandava and Kauravas. It contained truth and only truth. It is following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita all man gods finally gained enlightenment in their lifetime!
If we still say... man created god in his
imagination... it is the biggest misnomer of all times! More
on Who created God
Goal of all worshippers of God never was reaching God in their lifetime. People worshipped God mostly out of fear. People worshipped God to gain something from God Almighty. If we all the time continued asking God for something or other... we were nothing more than beggars in the eyes of God Almighty. Why?
Human form is the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle. We as a soul atman... cosmic consciousness... manifested human form to work out our karma... remove dross impurities within! It is only in human form we as a soul atman finally liberated self form cycle of birth and death forever. Still we continued asking from God Almighty? Rather we must all the time assist our soul atman in reaching cosmic end of life... 8.4 millionth manifestation... last in cosmic life cycle!
In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
Human being, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle must always work for benefit of humanity... mankind at large! Unless we catered for benefit of mankind all the time blessings of God Almighty never become available to us. When we were selfish... when we kept interest of self before others, we most of time suffered. In domain of God almighty... there was no place for selfishness... self interest! God only blessed those who worked for welfare of mankind all the time.
On mother earth most human beings feared death the most! To escape gallows of death most human beings worshipped God. We do not want to realize that one could never escape inscrutable laws of karma. As we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more! Our present... but future was directly governed by our karma of present. By indulging in good karma... positive karma we not only manifested destiny but also served God to the best of our capability.
As to different ways to worship God... human beings indulged in worshipping God as per means available! In India... in Hinduism people even worshipped stones and trees. For poor who could not afford to go to a Temple... even a banyan tree was sacred for worshipping. Those who lived in areas where there were no trees... people worshipped a stone symbolizing it for lingam.
Modes of worshipping God can be different but the end result should always be praying to God with right earnestness! Every single form of worship to God must always be directed towards welfare of mankind. Those indulging in vice... how they could worship God truthfully! We had to be truthful in heart to worship God in right earnestness.
The best form of worship was... praying to God without a selfish motive! The full potential of God Almighty is beyond comprehension of most human beings. In Hinduism some prayed to Lord Shiva... others to Lord Vishnu and some to Lord Brahma. Whatever our faith or belief... accordingly we offered our prayers to God Almighty.
In Hinduism... as per Hindu scriptures, God Almighty was one and only one... Brahman in all its glory! God Almighty was only one... but attributes could be many! Most human beings landed praying to attributes of God Almighty. Most preferred traveling religious path... path of rituals that was easy to travel than path of spirituality... that directly led to God Almighty!
For travellers of spiritual path... those who desired reaching God in their lifetime... worship to God carried no meaning! Serious seekers of spirituality were always after reaching God in their lifetime. By traveling path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom human beings finally succeeded in contemplation on God Almighty all the time.
In Hinduism there was no dearth of Hindu
gods and goddesses. People worshipped all forms of gods and goddesses. There was nothing wrong in that. But we
must all the time remember that our worship to God Almighty must always be directed towards welfare of
mankind... never personal individual self. All worship of God directed towards individual self carried no
meaning. What people meant when they said the kingdom of god is within. How do we see kingdom of heaven vs. kingdom of god. Where exactly does God live? For meeting God... are we required to reach kingdom of God? The answer to all about queries laid in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... foremost of all sacred scriptures existing on mother earth. There was nothing more prime in entire world related to spirituality than doctrine of Bhagavad Gita given to mankind by Lord Krishna.
As per Bhagavad Gita one reached God... one could have a communion with God on one-to-one basis, moment one gained enlightenment in present life. Enlightenment simply meant realizing our true inner self... our soul atman... the spirit within! As per Bhagavad Gita we are prime consciousness... a spirit that manifested human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within! We are not a physical form that manifested a spirit... a soul atman within!
The moment human beings negated karma to zero... in absence of dross impurities within... the need for soul atman to manifest life any further now ceased to exist. This stage in life of human beings is termed stage of enlightenment, kaivalya jnana... also termed self realization, god realization! In field of pure spirituality... enlightenment ... self realization and god realization... all meant the same! A soul is termed atman in Hinduism.
From first manifestation to last the effort of a soul atman always remained emancipation from cycle of birth and death forever at the earliest. When human beings gained enlightenment... the journey of a soul atman finally came to an end. The moment enlightened beings left their mortal frame... one gained moksha salvation forever. The liberated soul atman finally entered abode of God... kingdom of God... termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism... a point of no return!
Kingdom of God is no place in entire cosmos where liberated souls atmans collected together. After reaching stage of liberation... the soul atman was finally free to travel to any part of cosmos at will. The liberated souls' atmans thus existed everywhere in cosmos. Any human being on mother earth could invoke power of an enlightened one at will. By chanting proper mantras any human being on mother earth could invoke blessings of an enlightened soul at will.
As per Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism the following holds good for Kingdom of God:
1. Kingdom of God is the abode where resided God Almighty.
2. Kingdom of God is totally distinct from kingdom of heaven. God Almighty never existed in kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of heaven is place for hibernation of souls' atmans. After death of human body when matching parents are not available on mother earth... the released soul atman hibernated in heaven or hell... in heaven if the residual balance of karma was positive and hell if negative. Both heaven (swarga in Hinduism) and hell (naraka in Hinduism) existed in sun.
After death of human body... the released soul atman immediately manifested a new life form based on residual balance of karma of that moment. A soul atman always remained in heaven or hell temporarily. Heaven existed in core of sun where temperatures exceeded millions of degrees centigrade. It is in such high temperatures a soul atman felt comfortable. Hell existed in periphery of sun where temperatures were considerably less. It is in such low temperatures a soul atman suffered for eternity.
3. Kingdom of God can only be reached after human beings gained enlightenment and finally salvation moksha. Kingdom of God was not a place for human beings to enter bodily. Brahmaloka in Hinduism stood for kingdom of God. As presumed by most Indians that after death of human body... one reached Brahmaloka was an absolute misnomer. Brahmaloka can only be reached after a soul atman reached 8.4 millionth manifestation... last in cosmic life cycle!
4. Kingdom of God can only be reached by traveling path of spirituality... never path of religion... path of rituals! In the present scientific age none could reach God via path of bhakti yoga. We had to travel path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom for reaching God in present life. Path of self enquiry... path of Neti (not this, not this) was necessitated by God Almighty for reaching kingdom of God in one's lifetime. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa did it... so did Maharishi Ramana!
5. The concept of the kingdom of God can only be understood by assimilating wisdom contained in sacred texts of Hinduism. In present times wisdom contained in 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita sufficed for humanity to reach stage of enlightenment... kaivalya jnana! One need not refer to Hinduism revelations... the sacred Vedas or Upanishads (independent treatises). Whatever is contained in Bhagavad Gita was sufficient for human beings to gain enlightenment and finally moksha salvation.
Those who preferred traveling path of
religion over path of spirituality for reaching God in present life must not only think twice but many times!
Path of religion was simple to travel... path of spirituality equally difficult! Unless we reached level of
Swami Vivekananda in present life... one could not gain enlightenment in present life. The sooner we realize
abstract truths of life... better for us! Remaining ignorant in matters of spiritual... we never reached
anywhere! More on Kingdom of God
God Almighty was not the form of human beings. The cluster of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their purified form... is what we called God Almighty. Truly god existed within all human beings in miniscule form as our soul atman... the spirit within! In Hinduism a soul is termed atman. If we could hear voice of our soul atman... it simply meant we were talking to God Almighty. The voice of God... voice of soul atman could only be heard by traveling path of absolute truthfulness.
Those who were not pure from within... those who were not all the time truthful in life... could such human beings ever hear voice of their soul atman. Our remaining truthful all the time was a prerequisite for hearing voice of God in all its glory. Human beings who preferred material riches to path of spirituality... how could they ever hear voice of their true inner self... the spirit within! Truthfulness meant remaining hundred percent truthful all the time.
In present material age... the Kali Yuga... dark age... when materialistic tendencies peaked... undertaking spiritual journey was even more difficult... prime reason why most human beings preferred traveling path of religion... rituals... than path of pure spirituality that directly led to God Almighty! We had to travel path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom to hear the small still voice of God Almighty. Through path of religion we could never hear voice of our soul atman.
If we were truthful in life... voice of God coming from within was totally distinct! One could always hear it all the time. Prompted by voice of my soul atman... I finally reached God in 1993 at 37 years of age. This became possible because I started traveling path of absolute truthfulness when six years of age. At that young age I was totally fascinated by power of truthfulness in all walks of life. I minutely observed that people who were truthful always kept happy from within.
By remaining truthful in life... hearing god's voice clearly all the time became my forte. I never had to search for anyone else in life. Perhaps my preceptor... my spiritual guide was hidden within me! I had only to remain truthful all the time to travel path of spirituality... reach God in present life! I continued traveling path of spirituality without much hindrance from outside. Internally I always experienced stages of bliss that could never be expressed in words.
Remaining contended from within all the time... I continued my journey of life unknown to all! None in world could make out... I was searching for God all-time. Morning to evening and evening to morning... I was all the time searching for God Almighty. In every small deed... in every small affair of life I searched for God Almighty. The cosmic truth eluded me all the time but my faith in God Almighty was absolute... hundred percent!
In times of need, in times of fear... my absolute faith in God Almighty (termed shraddha in Hinduism) came to my rescue. It was very slowly I realized that path of spirituality could only be traveled by hit and trial method. Path of self enquiry... path of Neti (not this, not this) was full of hidden queries, answers of which were unknown to mankind. As many human beings... as many different interpretations could there be. I always searched for answers that satisfied me internally!
Journey of spirituality... search for God is absolutely very time-consuming and difficult. But if we had to reach God in present life... in the limited span of 70 to 80 years of life... we had to indulge in path of self enquiry all the time! I succeeded in reaching God in present life does not mean path to God Almighty could be covered in one lifetime. God Almighty ordained a long journey of 1.1 million manifestations in human form to reach God... to realize God... to realize self!
If we do not start in search of God in present life... when do we expect to start? We do not know what form our soul atman manifests in next life as everything in cosmic domain was totally dependent upon law of karma... as we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more! It is in our interest... it is in the interest of our soul atman... the consciousness within that we started in pursuit of God Almighty in present life and that too at the earliest.
The journey of spirituality was long yet, we had to make a start somewhere. Most human beings on mother earth kept postponing start of their spiritual journey for next life. If they could not do it in present life... could they be expected to travel spiritual path in next manifestation... of which we knew nothing? Let us stop fooling self for long. The laws of physical manifest life were not applicable on our soul atman... the spirit within! We can fool earthly beings... but not our soul atman... the consciousness within!
As detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of
Hinduism... our soul atman is the absolute master and controller of human body and not vice versa. Our soul
atman manifested human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within! It is not within the
capacity of a human body to manifest a soul atman. As journey of life belonged to our soul atman... we must
indulge in nishkama karma way of life all the time. That is what true spirituality is all about. I get so many queries from people world over asking... how do I get closer to God! People often satisfied their inner desire by asking queries... but how many were serious in traveling spiritual path that directly led to God Almighty. In my 50 years of spiritual travail I have yet to find one who was serious enough to travel spiritual path... reach God in present life!
Unless we understood meaning of spirituality... unless we learnt to distinguish between spirituality and religion... we would never understand intricacies of spiritual life! Simply by studying Bhagavad Gita literally... none understood gist of Bhagavad Gita in totality. The contents of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally... it demands reading in between the lines.
To come closer to God... to reach God... our undertaking spiritual journey was an absolute must. Unless we dissociated self from path of religion... path of rituals, we could never come near God. God Almighty and his system can only be understood by dwelling in teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita. The 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita sufficed for humanity to reach stage of enlightenment... termed kaivalya jnana in Hinduism!
If we had the inherent capability possessed by Swami Vivekananda... we would reach God in present life... no matter what! Does it indirectly mean that to come closer to God... one had to become a Swami Vivekananda in present life... yes, cosmic truth is so! Getting closer to God in present life was not that easy as many world over thought.
By indulgence in jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom human beings finally reached God Almighty! Indulgence in jnana yoga meant... indulging in self enquiry, path of Neti (not this, not this) as practiced and advocated by Maharishi Ramana... one who reached God in his lifetime! Whatever is contained in sacred scriptures... our contemplation on hidden inner meaning was necessitated via path of self enquiry... we practically had no other alternative!
Unless we contemplated on God Almighty... unless we contemplated on wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... one never reached God! Moreover in present scientific age... absolute faith in God Almighty was necessitated for traveling spiritual path. One also had to practice absolute celibacy for a period of 12 years in continuation to reach God.
Apart from practice of celibacy... absolute control over five senses and mind was necessitated! The moment we succeeded in negating karma to zero human beings finally reached God. Coming closer to God meant our realizing self... realizing God... reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) forever. Negation of karma becomes possible by indulgence in karma nishkama karma way! Offering fruits of karma performed to God Almighty all the time is what nishkama karma is all about! Emancipation from cycle of birth and death demands our negating karma to zero forever.
Clinging to material possessions all the time... human beings wanted to come closer to God. How could that be? Standing on first-floor of empire state building... we could never reach the top! Requisite karma had to be performed by us and in that matter no other human being on mother earth could help us. As stated in Bhagavad Gita all souls atmans are independent of each other. We could always get spiritual guidance from others but journey of spirituality is always traveled alone! In Hinduism a soul is termed atman.
If we truly and sincerely desire getting closer to God... our indulgence in wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism was an absolute must. No other sacred scripture of any religion world over contained precepts of absolute truth as contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Truly Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism contained truth and only truth. It is following teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita ceremoniously for periods exceeding 25 years... I finally reached God in 1993.
As a child I always wondered what God Almighty was all about? Identifying God Almighty was truly difficult at that immature age but following path of absolute truthfulness always and ever I finally succeeded in reaching God in my lifetime. The power of truth cannot be imagined by most human beings world over. One truly had to be truthful all the time to reach God in present life. Dominated by a bloated ego when human beings pursued path of untruthfulness all the time... how could they be expected to reach God in their lifetime?
To get closer to God... we must try to understand definition of karma, meaning of dharma and correct method of meditation. Unless we knew meaning of celibacy as expressed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... one could never practice celibacy... Brahmacharya Vrata as it was meant to be in Hinduism. Practising celibacy never meant abstinence from sexual relationship alone. It had a deep inherent hidden meaning. Following path undertaken by Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana was of great help.
Both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and
Maharishi Ramana in their lifetime reached God. "Essay by:
