Why criminal Babas flourish in Kalyug

Few days back a certain spiritual guru was ca ught up in a sex-scandal, a little before that some other was accused of deceiving people by offering impractical solutions, yet another was seen fleeing away in the guise of a woman from a political rally, the same gentleman was found in a hospital getting treated for dengue after having sold treatments to all kinds of diseases to the world. Another person having failed in his business grew a beard and started teaching spirituality (now he is flourishing). There is a spiritual organisation that has roped in an MBA to give lectures on television, the lady earned them a lot of following but on the subject of spirituality she calls atma as at-ma and shanti as shanty.... (Dhwani is the basis of spiritual sciences. Every sound is a vibration and corresponds to a specific energy. If you change the frequency of that vibration, then the energy changes, as does its effect.) If someone takes upon the role of a spiritual guide and adulterates th...

Remembering Our Ancestors i Shradhs

The soul incarnates into a physical body, which is made up of the five elements in various permutations and combinations. Reincarnating birth after birth depending on the kind of karmas , which one does in a lifetime. There are certain souls who dont reincarnate, either because they are finished with their karmic cycle of bhu lok (the prithvi lok ) or because they are stuck in a different dimension of existence and are unable to manifest in the human body, as their karmic balance is not sufficient to entitle them for a human birth, these souls either remain suspended as energies and are called ghosts and spirits or they go to a different dimension of existence called the pitr lok or the lok of the ancestors. Whatever dimension or level of existence that they are in, unless they have been freed from the cycle of birth and death they need energy from their offsprings to offset their karmic balance to enable them to reincarnate again. Shradhs are an important part of the Hin...

Yoga for a healthy mind and body

More often than not, answers to all our questions lie in things around us; all we need is an observant eye. Let us observe the sun. Ever wondered what gives it the magnificent glow and attraction? What is so magnetic about it that all the planets revolve around it? Modern science identifies the sun as the ultimate source of energy. How can a single entity be able to channelize such enormous amounts of energy? It is amazing how we are oblivious to this phenomenal presence of sun most of the times. And yet it rises and sets everyday, immune to our ungratefulness, lighting up the lives of millions. That's the nature of sun. Alternately we may say sun is in tune with nature. Quite simply put, sun is in Yog . Yoga is not about complicated twists and turns of the body. A yogi is not bound by age, diet, lifestyles or rituals. Yoga sets you free. The purpose of Yoga is to still the thoughts from desires,  chitt vritti nirodh , through certain purifications as prescribed in the Sanatan Kr...

Ganesh Chaturthi

Selfishness has veiled the vision of man. The man of kaliyug sees everything from the point of view of what he can get out of it. His business mindset has not even spared the energy world; there too he attempts to strike a profitable deal. Ganesh is often seen as elephant-worship which will rid you of your problems and bring in material comforts. Likewise every house, every office, every vehicle today sports an idol of Ganesh. Let me tell you Ganesh is not just an elephant and elephant-worship will take you nowhere. Ganesh is the lord of physical creation; the gatekeeper to subtler dimensions. In this heyday of negativity he is entrusted with the task of letting in only true seekers and keeping out selfish people by engaging them in material pursuits. The only way out is yoga in the sandhya of guru. However, look for a guru only if you intend to aid the positive forces in Creation. Ganesh Chaturthi is the day when the energy of Ganesh is most easily accessible to human beings. ...

Time to realise Ganesha's power

Ganesha, as per the Vedic texts, is not an elephant god as is normally believed and elephant worship will take you nowhere. Everywhere around us, people lead similar lives, sharing four problems—health, money, relationships and emotions. This spells a man in Kaliyug. His deepest concerns do not go beyond an out-of-shape body, chronic illness, business losses, an unsatisfactory vocation, marital discord, parental problems, or an emotional void. These are symptoms of a deeper problem of defying the basic laws that govern creation and going against its principles. The present level of existense called Kaliyug is witnessing the same chaos at a macro level as well as in an individual’s life as wars, natural calamities, diseases, unhappiness, pain and a fear of death. Everyone visits religious places   for sustenance but no one prays for his neighbour. Everyone wants things only for themselves. We are defying a simple law governing creation—the law of karma or the law of cause ...

Power of Prana

To understand nature, one just needs to look within because a human being is a microcosm of the universe. Creation comprises a single combination in different compositions. The force that pervades the universe is prana and nothing exists without it. Prana combines with the five elements (fire, air, water, ether, and earth) to give Creation form. Whatever has been, exists, and lies in future dimensions of the physical world is nothing else but these elements with different pranic frequencies. It is the force that creates, maintains and constantly makes things move from one dimension to another. We understand this process as ageing but it is the one that finally transforms an object from one to another, just by changing the frequencies at which it vibrates. As the composition of a newborn changes, prana vibrates at different frequencies as it grows and ages. In an ailing body, the frequencies are grosser. Prana that vibrates at a subtler frequency belongs to a yogi. Vibrating at a...
