Meditation: The Door to Create New Awareness

Just as medicines are necessary to repair bodily ailments back to health, so is 'meditation' medicinal for the mind to keep it perfectly healthy, peaceful and in a state of equanimous tranquil. The mind must be emptied of all toxins. Unlike the western concept that 'an empty mind is a devil's... Sign in to see full entry.

Poem

Zigzag Two days and three nights Raged a scene of most horrific sights Deep in the hollow quarters of my mind Dark and dank and black Until my energies, all went slack Pregnant clouds sans rain Sent me to the throes of pain So much so to madness’ height That none could understand my plight Oh! how l...

Action in Inaction; Inaction in Action.

Yagna is sacrifice, and the whole concept of yagna is to lead one to transcendence, the transcendence from action to inaction or all actions coming to a cessation, or, action in inaction; inaction in action! How is it that one works and yet not work, or, does not work and yet works. Complicated,... Sign in to see full entry.

My previous submission explored from another perspective.

Verse 13, Ch.3 of the Bhagavad Gita says, “The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who prepare food for personal sense-enjoyment, verily eat only sin." To this, one of my American friends asked me ‘I just don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Verily Eating Sin?

The other day a young lady lecturer in the University and I got into a discussion on one of the verses from the Bhagavad-Gita. She asked “I have a book called "Bhagavad-Gita as it is", but I don't understand it, for example, this is what it says in 3:13, "The devotees of the Lord are released from...

Remembering Past Lives (Part 2).

In my previous post we discussed on certain important issues of our not being able to recall the experiences of our past lives. God and Nature has designed it so with a purpose with His insight. But are there ways we can resolve this mystery and recall precisely all memories of our previous lives,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Reason for Memory's Failing at Death (Part 1)

GoldenMean's contention surprised me to jump out of my seat. He says that ‘I think the blockage of our memories of past lives is one of the greatest crimes in the universe, perhaps the single greatest’ as this would work as a future blockage to dispensing of justice equitably and swiftly.To answer...

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
