Getting Moksha

Moksha in Hinduism means liberation of the atman (soul) from the cycle of manifestations forever. Having reached the stage of moksha (aka salvation)... our atman goes to Vaikuntha (aka kingdom of God in Christianity)... a point of no return! Moksha is achieved after reaching the stage of kaivalya jnana (enlightenment). Moksha is the end of cosmic life for our atman.

Any human being... at whatever stage of life one may be can attain kaivalya jnana and finally moksha. Adi Shankaracharya took moksha at the young age of 32 years. Mahavira gained kaivalya jnana at 42 and moksha at 72 years of age. Gautama Buddha took salvation (moksha) at 81 years of age.

Age is never a bar in the life of a spiritual seeker. All is the result of the residual karma of the previous lives. Acharya Rajneesh (popularly called Osho) was one step below the stage of kaivalya jnana when he lost self-control and mixed sex with spiritual teachings.

He failed in the end years of his life. When the soul of Acharya Rajneesh takes next manifestation... it is possible that one gains kaivalya jnana and moksha at an early age.

Normally it has been observed that having gained kaivalya jnana... the spiritual master prefers to retain his body to preach the gems of wisdom gathered on the spiritual path. This is the only way the teachings of the spiritual master... the kaivalya Jnani (enlightened soul) reaches the masses.

For gaining moksha... one needs to take absolute control over the five senses and the mind, perform karma... the Nishakama karma way, practice absolute truthfulness in all affairs of life, practice absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years and follow the path of Neti (not this, not this) as practiced and advocated by Maharishi Ramana.

This result in full awakening of the Kundalini and one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

One has finally gained kaivalya jnana! The moment this kaivalya Jnani decides to leave the body... the mortal frame... it is known as moksha (salvation)!
