DHYAN FOUNDATION

Gita says a life led only for self-gratification is a life of sin. A human body is the only dimension where one can move from darkness to light. Tamso maa jyotir gamaya. When you look at the night sky, what is it that catches your attention first? The moon. Why? Because it is the brightest. Sun, moon, stars are all gods and goddesses and the universe is full of them. Some of them are in the light, them you can see. Others are in darkness. When you go in deep states of dhyan you are able to interact with them, and you actually see the pits of darkness they are in and the pain they experience because we got this chance, a human body, to move from darkness to light. They also got a chance but lived a selfish life, hence are in darkness. Sanatan Kriya gives you the ability to see their dimensions. To get a first-hand experience of this darkness, sit in a closed dark cupboard. Ask someone to lock it from the outside and lock the room and do not open it for 3-4 hours. In that...

भगवद गीता तप और दान को भी सत्व, राजस और तामस इन तीन गुणों के अनुरूप, तीन प्रकार में श्रेणीबद्ध करती है। भगवद गीता तप और दान को भी सत्व, राजस और तामस इन तीन गुणों के अनुरूप, तीन प्रकार में श्रेणीबद्ध करती है। गुरु, देवता, बड़ों और साधु-संतों के प्रति भक्तिभाव, स्वच्छता, स्पष्टवादिता, ब्रह्मचर्य और अहिंसा; ये सारे शरीर के तप के तरीके होते हैं। मीठा व्यवहार, सत्यवादिता, वेदों, उपनिषदों आदि के अभ्यास और ईश्वर का नाम जपते रहना, ये सारे वाणी के तप के तरीके होते हैं। प्रसन्नता, सौम्यता, ईश्वर चिंतन, इंद्रियों पर पूरा संयम और भाव की शुद्धता, ये सारे मन के तप के तरीके होते हैं। जब मन, शरीर और वाणी का तिगुना तप पूरी श्रद्धा से बिना किसी फल की अपेक्षा से किया जाता है, तो वह तप सात्विक होता है। जो तप नाम, प्रसिद्धि, लोकप्रियता या किसी भौतिक फल की अपेक्षा से किया जाता है, वह अनिश्चित व अस्थायी फल देता है और वह तप राजसिक होता है। जो तप मूर्खता एवं हठ से किया जाता है, जिसके कारण स्वयं और दूसरों की हानि होती है, वह तप तामसिक होता है। काल जादू और दुष्ट साधनाओं के अभ्यास इस अंतिम श्रेणी में आते...

The Bhagvad Gita clearly states that a society functions by following the footsteps of the prominent people—the Adarsh Purushs. There was a time when a yug was called Satyug, or the era of truthfulness. During that time, the Guru and the Ruler were the Adarsh Purushs; the ruler was guided by the Guru while the Guru was not tied to maya or personal gains, and lived for the betterment of society. Evolution of the being was the prime goal. The ruler on the instruction of the Guru worked for the people and left everything to join the Guru in the ashram. When the time for vanaprastha came, the kingdom was given to the heirs and the real journey towards reality would begin under the Guru’s guidance. The resources of the places of worship and the royal treasury were dedicated to supporting the needy. Holding the Guru’s hand, the shishya undertook the journey from the darkness of ignorance to light of gyan —“Tamso maa jyotir gamaya”. This social model was perfect and flawless. Its remnan...

"Government's prime responsibility is to ensure justice and smooth functioning of the various systems, which are the basis of any country. India primarily being the oldest known civilization and the ol   ldest cultured country has its roots in the teachings of the Vedic Rishis, the Gita being one of the forms of teaching the Vedic thought. The book talks, primarily about detachment and the code of conduct, which should be followed. It does not instigate violence or denounce any other religion it actually steers one beyond the bindings of religion to freedom. Normally it is misunderstood as the Hindu thought and teachings, but anyone who knows about history, well understands that it was written when there was no religion, not even Hinduism (the word Hindu comes from Persian, which is one of the recent languages). Governments should not be involved with the affairs of other countries and should not interfere in their thought process, but definitely the Indian Government has a d...
