Sanatana Dharma - Ete al Law

Sanatana Dharma also known as Sanaatan Dharma is a sanskrit term meaning "ete al law," "ete al religion" or "the ete al unchanging occupation of the soul in its relation to the Supreme Being." Thus one who follows the principles of Sanatana Dharma is led back to a pure state of consciousness of a unified relationship with the Source. Many make the mistake of equating Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma as the same concept which isn't necessarily true.

The Truth About the Law of Attraction

There seems to be a growing fad and obsession with the idea of the Law of Attraction. While I do believe self-reflection and the effort to begin monitoring our thoughts is a good stepping-stone, I feel a lot of this concept is being manipulated and abused by some.

For as He Thinketh: The Power of Thought

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7 (King James Version) Every scripture that appears very simple on the surface has so many levels of Truth unde eath that it can be examined in various layers. Most people are familiar with this verse but may not have taken the time to truly analyze it and understand its depth. Most spiritual people also believe that man is made in God’s image. We all accept a Creator that has the ability to create any desire at will but what does that mean for man?

New Year's Resolution or Broken Promise?

To resolve or not to resolve… that is the question! Every year we all take the opportunity to symbolically start another year with a clean slate. Many of us reflect on the past year to assess whether we had a good year or not. Did we accomplish or goals? Did we fall short? And then after we’ve evaluated, we make new determinations to either further our progress or reattempt to accomplish the goals we failed to reach in the previous year. But what is the true meaning of a resolution?

God the Mysterious...

We all live our lives based upon our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Through these experiences we all tend to develop a “philosophy” about the world in which we live. Depending upon the lens through which we view the world, our philosophy is strengthened or weakened daily based upon our limited and biased judgments.

Evolution of the word 'Christ': Part II

According to this legend these rishis were the first human beings on earth that God creates during a Satya era which is an advance period for civilization where mankind is a lot more close to God spiritually. “Sat” means “pure or ideal” and “Ya” means “God” and thus together mean “ideal state of God or ultimate truth.”

Live in the Moment and the World Becomes Beautiful...

You hear many saints, sages and teachers continuously declare how we should live in the moment. Most people, unfortunately, don’t really know how to do this. Truly living in the moment brings a sense of serenity, tranquility and clarity. This is typically the result of regular meditative practice, although it can also sometimes manifest unprovoked in a gracious moment of nature.

Whitney Houston: The Substance of a Songstress

Not only was Whitney Houston a great singer, she was an icon! I ironically recall when she first came out that critics were questioning whether or not she could make it as a singer because at the time she was known more as a model. I guess we now resoundingly know the answer to that question. More than just a great singer, Whitney has been more of an inspiration for many. She had great voice control, a beautiful smile, a pleasant personality and set the standard for many other great voices to follow.

Evolution of the word 'Christ': Part I

As the holidays near, it is important to remind ourselves of what we are really celebrating. Christmas day is symbolically the birthday of Jesus Christ, who according to the Christian Faith, died for our sins to be forgiven. Jesus is an important figure today regardless of what faith you may follow. However, aside from his crucifixion, many don’t know much about the meaning of word “Christ.”

***The Essential Differences betwee Meditation and Yoga

The Sounds of Life

Science has already proven to us that every object we perceive is not actually solid but rather an immense collection of atoms. These atoms are continuously in motion and thus no stationary object is actually still but rather moving with life.

Secret to Good Government? Think Small!

Left wing… Right wing… two sides of the same coin! Most people approach their political views from a self-interest point of view. Those who feel prosperous want to protect it. Those who feel poverty seek to remedy it. Thus, if a person’s experience changes, such as a poor person becoming rich or vice-versa, there’s a likelihood that their political beliefs will change as well since their interests have changed. But what if we approached our politics from another perspective that wasn’t about our own benefit?

There Is Only One God...

There is only one God! He is the God of all! Your god is the wrong god! Yet some of you Blessed enough may have the right God! No one religion has a monopoly on the Creator; not Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism or any other religion. Ignorant religious adherence is man’s greatest obstacle! Yet, you cannot reach God without devoted religious practice! Regardless of your religious faith, you can still get to know God! All masters of every religion have delivered the same message! No religious figure is better than another! Jesus will not save you from your sins!

Everything Begins with You!

Many of us get caught in the trap of always seeking things in life but not realizing that we are at the source of all our experiences. We at times find ourselves wanting a more fulfilling career, a better relationship, more money or people to treat us nicer. We tend to get this “victim” mentality as if the world were doing us wrong.

The Role of Romantic Relationships in Spiritual Growth

Most of us value the companionship, love and the intimacy of having a mate but how do these relationships impact our efforts at spiritual growth? Those of us who take a mystic approach to spirituality and who may utilize a particular Sadhana or yogic technique, have most certainly come across the debate on sensory indulgences, life force control and the temptations of carnal pleasures.

What Does It Mean to be One?

Essentially all religions and scriptures say the universe began with God which is/was the Singularity of all. In this beginning there was nothing before this Spirit and this Spirit is ever-existent beyond the concepts of all time and phenomena. No man is capable of saying how, why or when it all began but this singular essence is the First Cause to all of creation.

The Meditation-less Life...

I reflect on my life when there were times that I thought I was living a charmed life. I felt like I couldn’t lose. Everything seemed to go my way with little or no effort. Then I also reflect on times in my life where nothing seemed to go right. Everything that could possibly go wrong… did!
