Yoga: The True Science of Spiritual Communion

I wonder why there are indirect addresses for things direct. For instance, health. Health is natural. Illness is unnatural. Ask a doctor and he’ll say when you are not sick you are healthy. Why should the negative be referred to for defining the positive? It isn't okay. I wish someone ventures to... Sign in to see full entry.

Repent ye for the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand

'Repent'. Very few have been able to accurately harmonize the Old Testsment teaching with what is revealed in the New. Some assumed it simply meant the kingdom in heaven, for others the kingdom of the heart, yet for others it is the Church. The essence of its conveyance is much deeper that comes as...

Intelligence and the Spiritual Connect

Just as Arjuna has unlimited supply of arrows in his quiver, Krishna has no less. The difference, Arjun's arrows can only kill, Krishna the Lord's, bestow life. He directs his arrows (of options), aimed at Arjuna to bring him back to his senses, bring him back to action, bring him back to the... Sign in to see full entry.

All of Us are born A Prince

Ideas – philosophical or quotidian – are key constituents of human nature. It is only upon charting the genealogies of human thoughts that give us different dimensions of understanding and variegated insights. Sigmund Freud said the unconscious mind has an invisible connect with the devil as also... Sign in to see full entry.

Krishna the Psychiatrist par excellence

Arjuna seems to have gone irretrievably into his shell. It is never easy to make a person recover when one has gone into depressive-neurotic state, no matter how sensible the counsellor’s advice may be. Upon being subjected to shock therapy the only reaction elicited is one of defense, justification... Sign in to see full entry.

Transcendental teachings for Arjuna begins

(Up to Now) We saw Arjuna incapacitated with loads of sorrow at the prospect of killing his kins along with Bhishma and Drona. Grief stricken he slumps at the rear of his chariot casting aside his bow and arrows. What is difficult here for Arjuna (and us) to understand is that he will be the slayer...

Krishna makes Arjuna to Sink to the Throes of Depression

Yes, that was necessary to do. Arjuna’s skill in archery was superior most, the best the age had known. The protagonists are two: Arjuna, from the field of the righteous (Dharma) and Duryodhana the usurper, from the unrighteous (Adharma). The field of righteousness ceases to exist the day people...

The War has all but Begun.

Bhagavad-Gita is an allegorical treatment of those cul-de-sacs of life that plague mankind through all ages. The fight is between righteousness (Dharma) versus unrighteousnes (Adharma). The story builds up on the battlefield of Kurukshetra with all its paraphernalia of ancient war machinery –... Sign in to see full entry.

The Clan of Brothers will now Meet at the Battlefield, Kurukshetra.

As we learnt up to now that Pandu was born to Ambalika, yellowed and sick. The mother, seeing sage Vyasa's darkened countenance while consummating, went yellow in fear, the son was born pallid. Her sister Ambika too, likewise, hid her eyes and the result was that her son Dhritarashtra, was born... Sign in to see full entry.

The Will of the Cosmic Design.

Now begins the second part as to how another chain of events in the numinous design led to the battle of Kurukshetra. We saw Amba, a woman in her earlier birth, now a man by the name of Shikhandi, a transvestite who, Arjuna used as a shield to fell the unconquerable grandsire of the Kauravas and...

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?
