Spiritual Science

Spiritual is connected to our inner core... inner self that is unseen... unknown! On the contrary science relates to knowledge (bookish knowledge)... never wisdom (path of jnana yoga)! The knowledge of absolute... our soul atman... the spirit within can only be known via path of spirituality... never path of science (bookish knowledge)!

That we gain from experimentation... something that demands proofs... the faculty of science can never reach portals of spirituality... no matter what! Spirituality starts from the point where science ends! Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is absolutely clear on this point! In the domain of God it is not proofs that matter... it is absolute faith in God Almighty that paves way for knowing God!

Spiritual science... the terminology developed in the West is a misnomer... something that has been put forward by absolute ignorant in field of spirituality! Spirituality is not the domain of Christianity! The path of spirituality can only be traveled by one who believes in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in battle of Mahabharata!

The sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism summarizes it all! A to Z of spirituality... all is contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! Right from stage of big bang when God Almighty explodes self... to stage of human beings gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally stage of total dissolution of cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... All is contained in Bhagavad Gita!

Science can never be spiritual. Science is far away from spirituality that demands absolute faith in God Almighty! Furthermore spiritual path can never be traveled guided by science alone! For reaching God... for gaining enlightenment in present life time... absolute faith in God Almighty is first priority! Only then human beings established absolute control over five senses and mind!

Spiritual awakening in human form becomes possible by traveling uncharted path of spirituality... by assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! Spiritual awakening never becomes possible through path of spiritual science as advocated in West nor through path of religion... path of rituals!

One becomes spiritually awakened the moment one established absolute control over five senses and mind! Furthermore practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation... human beings finally awakened their Kundalini Shakti fully! Full awakening of kundalini results in opening of Sahasrara Chakra (thousand petaled Lotus that exists in our brain behind the forehead)!

The moment this happened... human beings became immortal! The entire wisdom contained in cosmos was now at our tips! One practically becomes omniscient for all practical purposes! The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes knower of all!

Enlightenment can never be called spiritual! Primarily every human being is undergoing spiritual journey as the form of human beings was manifested by our soul atman... the spirit within to cleanse self of dross impurities within! The moment complete dross impurities within soul atman removed... it regained its lost original pure prime pristine primordial form forever!

Spiritual enlightenment does not carry any meaning in world of Bhagavad Gita! The sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism always talks in terms of absolutes! Nothing in Bhagavad Gita is left to chance or hearsay! God Almighty never plays dice as assumed by Stephen Hawking in his famous book, "a brief history of time"!

Everything in cosmic system works with absolute precision! Nothing goes haywire... come whatever may! Mounted with a bloated ego... dominated with a bloated ego when human beings failed to understand crux of spiritual life... we developed half baked theories that were thrust upon gullible masses en masse!

Philosophers in West talked of enlightenment... spiritual enlightenment! No philosopher in world can ever know what spirituality or enlightenment is all about! For proper spiritual growth... for proper spiritual guidance... we do not need spiritual retreats! What is needed at most is a spiritual preceptor... a spiritual master who had already reached stage of enlightenment!

No Western philosopher can ever claim to know anything about Bhagavad Gita whatsoever! The contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita can only be deciphered by one who has absolute faith in God Almighty! It is not a misnomer but an absolute fact of life that God Almighty can only be reached via path of spirituality... via path of Bhagavad Gita... never path of religion... rituals!

How many people after Gautama Buddha or Jesus Christ gained enlightenment? Gautama Buddha belonged to India (erstwhile Bharatvarsha... a conglomerate of above 600 small independent kingdoms)! Jesus Christ also gained enlightenment from age 14 to 29 during studies at Nalanda and Taxila universities!

Both these citadels of spirituality laid in Bharatvarsha (now India)! After Gautama Buddha... after Jesus Christ... none in West gained enlightenment! Why? To reach portals of God... to understand God Almighty in all its glory... traveling path of absolute truthfulness... having absolute faith in God Almighty is an absolute must!

Followers of religion cannot find God in temples, churches or mosques! God Almighty can only be found via path of jnana yoga... path of absolute wisdom! Spiritual science has nothing to do with path of absolute wisdom... path of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita! If we truly desire developing a spiritual relationship with God Almighty... we have to follow precepts of Hinduism!

Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is one such scripture that has no parallel in mankind! One single scripture containing 700 shlokas verses suffices for human beings to reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)! The essentials needed on spiritual path... are all detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism!

In present times one need not look forward to Hinduism revelations... the revered Vedas (primary of which are Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda)! Bhagavad Gita which is also termed Vedanta in Hinduism (end of Vedas) suffices for reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)!

No science can ever teach mankind anything about absolutes contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! Human beings can reach stage of enlightenment and finally salvation only by following path of jnana yoga (path of absolute wisdom)... never path of science or bookish knowledge! It is jnana (wisdom) contained in Bhagavad Gita that is needed to cut across shackles of ignorance that is embedded into every soul atman since beginning of time!

For learning teachings of Bhagavad Gita one need not convert to Hinduism ever! The best part of life is... Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism has universal appeal! Any human being world over belonging to any religion, belief or faith can indulge in Bhagavad Gita without leaving their religion, faith or belief! One also need not come to India for gaining anything related to Bhagavad Gita!

Remaining wherever we are... we can assimilate teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita slowly step-by-step! The original gist of Bhagavad Gita with English transliteration is available for mere $.60 (rupees 30/=) at most railway stations of India or directly from Gita press, Gorakhpur, India! This is a highly subsidized publication yet beyond reach of most!

Only an ardent seeker of spirituality can follow precepts contained in Bhagavad Gita! For understanding Bhagavad Gita... path of science or religion is never necessitated! I again repeat... the contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally... it needs reading in between the lines!

For a serious seeker of spirituality... understanding Bhagavad Gita takes time but to gain enlightenment within present life time is very difficult yet, not impossible!

When six years of age I wanted to know what God is all about! I wanted to go in search of God when 11 years of age! By 13 my simple desire turned to firm conviction... come whatever may in this very life I shall see and meet God! 25 years of yoga meditation... I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age!

I have reached end portal of spiritual life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Nothing to gain further... I shall but attain salvation (moksha), moment I leave my mortal frame! When young... six years of age I inherently understood the power of absolute truthfulness! Ever since six years of age I have traveled path of absolute truthfulness always and ever!

Even fear of death could not have swayed me from path of spirituality... path of unknown! However best I tried to search for a spiritual preceptor... I got none! In desperation I asked God Almighty to become one and lo... he willingly agreed! Since then it was never looking back! God Almighty whom I was searching for became my spiritual guide, my spiritual guru in journey of life!

At this stage of life all I can say is... God has been very kind to me! In 1985 when I took a world tour of 40 days to read minds of people world over... I returned absolutely blank! What amazed me was that although culturally and structurally United States of America was number one country of the world... but spiritually it was still a blank country!

In my 40 days of worldly sojourn I could not find even a single person who rightly understood the meaning of spirituality, enlightenment, god, karma, dharma and whatnot! People in West confuse spirituality with religion! Most were ignorant about teachings of Bhagavad Gita! Can such people be expected to reach stage of enlightenment ever!

Being a civilized nation of the highest order... people in West can build spiritual retreats that are magnificent but people visiting such spiritual retreats for spiritual gains lose to stand! Those who did not understand anything about spirituality or enlightenment... can such people ever impart teachings of spirituality whatsoever!

The domain of God Almighty never belonged to richest or the poor! The domain of God Almighty was always open to one who had absolute faith in God Almighty always and ever! I do not remember a stage in life when I failed to tread path of absolute truthfulness ever! To see and meet God in this very life, I was even prepared to leave my family forever!

It is a different matter that life bid otherwise! One day when I asked of my mother that I wanted to leave the confines of home to travel spiritual path in search of God Almighty... her reply was point-blank no! She only said, "the moment you leave the house... I shall go to Ganges canal nearby and commit suicide"! Not for once in life did I ever think of leaving the house again.

I owed my life to my parents... my existence on mother earth was because of my parents! Under no circumstances of life I could have left my parents without their permission! So was not to be. I became determined to go in search of God even while living in family! As time passed by... I completed my graduation... a bachelor's degree in civil engineering!

Thereafter I entered family profession of foundation engineering... got married and had two lovely daughters! I was never to have a son! It was destined by God Almighty. The sooner my daughters grew up... and settled in life... my responsibilities towards them would be over! I had to wait full 18 years by the time my daughters and the family got settled!

The level of patience, persistence and perseverance I exhibit is phenomenal! What attracts me all the time is absolute truth and only truth! Bhagavad Gita has become like ABCD to me... as if I had dictated contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita in one of my previous manifestations! As destiny bid, I await a benefactor... the one and only one in the world who supports me to launch an hour's program on TV worldwide!

The day this program starts... a few years further on I shall leave my mortal frame! The purpose of my life was already over the moment I realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age. However God prompted me to continue providing spiritual guidance to masses which I am doing through various websites existing on Internet!

Internet has its limitations! To reach masses at large... medium of TV is necessitated! An hour's program a day shall be watched by above thousand million people every day! The question-and-answer sessions would be unprecedented... something unheard of by mankind! I shall slowly unveil to mankind pearls of wisdom hidden in Bhagavad Gita!

World Wide Center for Self-Realization... a non-profit organization opened by me for benefit of mankind exists on Internet! I try to explain precepts of Bhagavad Gita in a very casual and informal way... through medium of examples... anecdotes etc. But the visual presence through medium of TV would be catastrophic! It would develop mass appeal in a very short period of time!

Spirituality... the uncharted path of spirituality needs to be traveled all alone by every single individual human being... so was ordained by God Almighty! As many human beings... as many different paths to God Almighty can there be! Why keep waiting for awaited preceptor of mankind... the revered Bhagavan Kalki!

Why not indulge in positive karma... good karma all the time! By having... by developing absolute faith in God Almighty we never lose anything! It is only path of absolute truthfulness that paves way for reaching God step-by-step... slowly!

Let us always remember that science primarily was meant for human beings to organize their 70 to 80 years of present earthly sojourn in a meaningful manner! It is only through medium of science... one indulged in a profession! Science was necessitated to earn our meals for the day! But to know our inner self... to dive deep into bottomless pit of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... we have to travel path of spirituality... never spiritual science!

Most human beings world over think that path of spirituality demands our leaving confines of home forever! In the initial stages of my life, I also believed the same! But when my mother refused my leaving confines of home... I indulged in spirituality even while living in family! Spiritual path demands highest level of perfection possible in human beings!

Traveling spiritual path is walking on razor's edge! Do not remember how many times I had to eat hell for breakfast... how many contemplations of suicide! But my resolve to find God in this very life was absolute! When God Almighty himself was my spiritual guide... my spiritual guru in the journey of life... I was all the time hopeful that I would complete the journey... no matter what!

Women searching for spiritual retreat... a spiritual coach do not carry any meaning! As a lady God Almighty never ordained one to travel spiritual path... prime reason why in entire history of mankind only two ladies till date gained enlightenment... the famous philosopher Gargi and Maitreyi, extremely intelligent wife of Sage Yajnavalkya... the composer and compiler of most voluminous Upanishad... Brihadarankya Upanishad!

Philosopher Gargi was an open exponent of topic of sex! Her exposition of sexual values undermined religious fervor that existed in her times! Whenever religious pundits (priests) asked her to refrain from religious or spiritual path as she was a lady... she admonished them by expressing quotes form Bhagavad Gita that always lay in her favor!

As a woman... for a lady it is essentially more difficult than man to realize God in their lifetime! So was ordained by God Almighty! But for an ardent seeker of spirituality like philosopher Gargi or Maitreyi... even the impossible becomes possible!

For right spiritual development... for knowing what Nirvana is all about... for developing proper spiritual disciplines... spiritual direction... fathoming depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita is an absolute necessity one cannot do without! Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism contains absolute purity... truth but only truth!

Spiritual growth cannot be attained overnight! It needs years of patience, persistence and perseverance practiced at its best to reach higher realms of spiritual pursuit... the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation!

What astounds me is... even an hour before reaching stage of enlightenment (termed self realization in Hinduism) I was not aware what God Almighty had in store for me! It was in the wee hours of third of August 1993... When God Almighty woke me around 2 AM in the night... it was as if I was walking in sleep!

Whatever I did at that stage of life... was premeditated... preprogrammed like a robotic function! I was only doing the bidding of God Almighty! I had nothing to lose in following dictates of my soul atman that seemed to come from within my heart! It was only around 4 AM in morning that I realized what I had finally accomplished in life.

Spiritual accomplishments... spiritual power does not mean anything for an enlightened one! It is only after cutting across shackles of ego... ignorance one reaches stage of enlightenment... never before! For an enlightened one... the whole mankind is one big family... all religions different paths to maintain harmony amongst masses... commoners!

The free spiritual counseling I have been providing since 1997 through medium of Internet has helped many all over world! I have received so many e-mails of appreciation that reaffirm my faith in God Almighty! God help those who help themselves!

On my various websites sufficient material is available for human beings to reach stage of enlightenment... kaivalya jnana... self realization! Similar as Bhagavad Gita... meanings of various passages on my website cannot be understood literally... they need reading in between the lines!

In many essays and articles are hidden various mantras unveiling which human beings can definitely gain enlightenment in present life time! The more you read... more you gain! It is not simply by reading we gain anything... our ignorance gets eliminated the moment we ponder seriously over spiritual messages conveyed on my various websites!

Unless we learn to contemplate... unless we learned to read in between the lines... no point browsing through essays on my websites! Mere literal reading will not gain anything whatsoever! Try reading in between the lines! Having faith in God Almighty is an absolute must! Traveling path of absolute truthfulness one can always succeed in spiritual life!

No matter how best words of spiritual encouragement I provide on my websites... essence of life lay in contemplation all the time. In present times one need not go to deep dense jungles (forests) to contemplate... nor do we ever need spiritual retreats!

What we actually need is a burning desire to see and meet God in this very life!
