FEAR OF DEATH-DETERIORATION OF PRANA OR VITAL FORCE

If the balance of vital force remains stable all classes and sub classes of life will work desirably. The body thus will experience good health, mind will be happy and the psyche will ooze with good intentions and contentment. Yet if in that arena distortions manifest the result is hardships and strife of all kinds. When blood turns bad skin diseases, boils etc manifest. In the same way when imbalance appears in vital force the functioning of bodily organs goes haywire. Many

In these days I will act thus......

Generally my Gurudeva gives answers for my curiosity and other questions seated in the deep cave of my heart. His soul has always been close to mine. Right from translating Rishi texts to authoring Pranjna literature he has guided me just as a professor guides his student. Even my speech is nothing but what my revered Guru taught me. I am being guided just like a horse that is lead about in various directions by the rider. Even when my Guru calls me to Himalayas to recharge m

THE ONE AND ONLY SOURCE OF ENERGY IN THE FUTURE

Every thinking mind immersed in the thought of new possibilities in the New Age and newer schemes have a burning question that what will be the source of energy in future? The manner in which todayâs world society is becoming proficient in terms of intellect, technology and economy to that extent its needs too are augmenting phenomenally.

MAY OUR INTELLECT IMBIBE DIVINE SAVITA SOUL ENERGY

When despite undergoing spiritual practice ones psyche does not manifest inspiration and brilliance that leads to a bondage free life, a devotee starts despairing and feels that itâs a waste to do spiritual practices. While stepping on this ladder those who desire soul well being must know that they too do not have the capacity to ignore eternal laws put forth by Divine Powers and Almighty God.

Potential results of rendering the psyche subtle

From May 1984 AD I stopped all possible activity of gross stature pertaining to the gross body. This means meetings, union, conversation, discussions, advice etc all stopped. Only under very exceptional circumstances this rule was not followed. Inert laws pertain to inert objects. Consciousness has its special state. Despite remaining alive, despite being dead it is known to behave as though alive. The aim of subtlizing my psyche is to render manifold powers based on the 5 Sh

THE MIND BOGGLING ACTIVITIES OF AN AVATAR

Ordinarily in the arena of Sadhana or spiritual practice external rituals are mimicked and whenever someone imbibes these external rites in his daily life, a group of people tend to follow in his footsteps. Since hidden sentiments behind these symbols, soul purification and disciplines of true living are neither truly understood nor imbibed, how will they reap rich dividends? Our Gurudeva was advised by his preceptor: You must reinstate an imperishable flame torch of clarifie

CONSCIOUSNESS MUST BE SEARCHED FOR IN THE DEEP CAVE OF THE PSYCHE-Part 1

Everyone executes actions via the body and thinking via their mind. If both remain inactive they start degenerating and can lose their very existence. The level or stature of our actions and thinking is directly the function of the means of daily living procured by us from our incomes. Farsighted people not only look after both these but try and make them more advanced. As a result their stature is much higher than the ordinary man on the streets. Those who follow natureâs

CONTEMPORARY WORLD PROBLEMS ARE ABOUT TO GET SOLVED

There was a time when in every household there were storms of blind faith and belief. In every home people discussed ghost, evil souls, sorceresses and so on. Someone or the other would talk of Mantras and black magic being targeted at them. Fear of doubt and suspicion were the causes of mutual fights and enmity. Certain vile hypocrites had converted this mockery into a profession. Small illnesses were believed to the wrongdoing of evil spirits and wrong allegations were made

THE MIND BOGGLING MYSTERIES OF THE AMAZING ALMIGHTY LORD

THE SUBTLE WORLD IN THE FORM OF PRAKRITI (MATERIAL NATURE) AND PURUSHA (GOD) Ordinarily the world appears to be as big as per the experience of our sense organs. Only that perceived by the 5 sense organs are thought to be the be all and end all of this otherwise gigantic world. We thus contact only a very minor portion of the world. We therefore look after and manage this tiny world. And yet the world is not that tiny as experienced by our gross and limited understanding. The

TODAY’S GREATEST WISDOM AND SERVICE TO THE WORLD

During times of storms and cyclones those trees that stand arrogantly upright very often get uprooted but those trees that bend down generally are saved easily. Certain plants and creepers during storms manage to sustain because as per changing times they mend their ways. Whenever storms manifest in particular direction they too bend in that direction. No doubt no compromise can be made with respect to giving up of ideals. Sins cannot be encouraged yet wherever we err without

THE ENTIRE VISIBLE NATURE IS A COPY OF SUN LIGHT

In Indian Philosophy sun has been given utmost importance. At the time of creation of the world the sun was first created hence it is called âAdityaâ. From it first Manu or human consciousness manifested and visible nature too. Whatever is present in the world as soul, in it is at work sunâs vital force or Prana and light.

Human Consciousness: Permanent Center of Our Soul

An atom is the subtle form of the cosmos. Its central portion represents the sun of our universe. Electrons revolve around the nucleus (sun) just as planets revolve around the sun of our solar system. Just as infinite space exist outside the periphery of the solar system so too there is a lot of space present in the atom.

Adi Shankaracharya, Saint Jnaneshwar, Swami Ramtirtha and Vivekanad despite being healthy, full of soul power and penance lived for around 30-40 years only. These are not ordinary incidences. Behind this is a mystery and special reason. They realized that those times demanded more action which was not possible within the realm of their gross bodies.

As time lapses by those signs too deteriorate and thus information of those times get destroyed.
