It is an expression of favor or disfavor towards a person, place, thing, event, etc., It is also a settled way of thinking or feeling about something.  As human beings, we should have a special attitude by which others may not be affected. Moreover, we should develop an attitude so that other living beings should become happy and satisfied with our behavior. This behavior or our attitude may differ when dealing with different persons or living beings. If you meet a learned preacher, you offer fruits and clothes and pray for blessings, thereby he becomes happy and satisfied with your attitude. But towards a cow, your attitude will differ. You give green grass, sweet water and protect it from rain, sunshine, etc., That is enough for a cow to become happy. Likewise, your attitude will change with your pet dog or parrot, etc. And your attitude towards a plumber, scavenger, or servant will also differ. You should think he is no less than you and moreover, you should treat him as a he

Sorrow is an emotion, feeling, deep distress/sadness for the loss of relatives, friends or something loved. According to Gautama Buddha, the world is full of sorrow, and to solve this problem, He has striven for seven long years and found that wants are the main cause for the sorrow. A learned poet has also proclaimed that the only existing thing is sorrow and sorrow only. A gap between sorrow and another sorrow is being mistaken as happiness.

Prayer is a sign of devotion. It includes respect, love, pleading, and faith. By praying a person expresses his helplessness and surrenders to the Master (God) and pleads for help. It is the connecting link between the Master (God) and the self. Many people generally pray with specific motives based on the belief that if you pray sincerely you would get what you pray for. People pray for many reasons such as personal benefits or for the sake of others. An average person mainly prays to God when he is unable to face difficulties in his life. Prayer as a method of worship is common in every religion. It may involve the use of words of praise or songs by an individual or group of people. The people who pray about some worldly benefits like job, money, power, etc., and some other requirements like recovery from illness, happiness, etc., are generally in the initial stage of their spiritual journey. Prayers of spiritually progressing persons are without worldly expectations, but

The real objective of Yoga has been shrouded in false beliefs in the recent decades due to the ever increasing marketing propaganda about the physical fitness aspects and aerobics. Many Yoga centers in many countries including India have found Yoga as a good business tool and there has been an increasing focus about the Yoga, its advantages to the physical fitness and flexibility are being overwhelmingly discussed. All that can be considered as just one of the many dimensions of Yoga called ‘Hatha Yoga’ and it is not complete Yoga in itself. Though almost every one is quite familiar with the name ‘YOGA’, there may perhaps be only a few who understand it in its true spirit. Some think about it to be a mysterious science leading to certain supernatural powers known as Siddhis.  Others confine it to physical exercises of Asana (posture), Pranayama (regulated breathing), etc., meant only for wellbeing, the purpose of building up a sound physique so as to be able to d

'Raja Dhandana' and 'Yama Dhandana' ('Punishment on the Earth' and 'Punishment in the Hell') Almost all the religions on the surface of earth believe in Heaven and Hell . Good and pious people will go to heaven and the bad and wicked will go to  the hell after completion of their spell of life on this earth. They get rewards and comforts in heaven and punishments in the hell according to the individual acts ( Karma ) on the earth during their life time. This is the concept of the people of the main religions, ' Heaven-Hell' concept .

The simple unassuming character of mind has changed with the march of time and has assumed a colorful disposition, and begun to shed its effect on everything in us, both outer and inner. Whatever, therefore, we take into our thought or action exhibits colorfulness in all its phases. Our excessive attachment to the environment, and surroundings of a similar nature, create in us heaviness and grossness. Subtleness is lost and everything that comes to our view is interpreted in the same light. This not only veils our understanding, but the heart and brain also get affected by it. It was the same tendency of mind, which displayed itself through all the writings of men of knowledge and learning. For thorough understanding of things, one must have practically attained the state of mind required, before one can come out to explain it to others. The same was the case with our sacred GITA.  There are numerous commentaries and more are still being added. Almost everyone attempted it from his le

The end of life is death. Spiritualists say that there is life after death. Lord Sri Krishna in his Gita says that the soul still exists even after death and the air, water, even fire cannot destroy the soul. “Soul is the thing, that the weapon can’t destroy, the fire can’t burn, the water can’t wet and the wind can’t blow away. It exists till it merges with the ultimate at the time of total dissolution. By this it is understood that death is not at all the end. It is just a fall of outermost sheath called Annamayakosa (the body), which is a solid one around the soul. This fall of outer sheath is only due to its wear and tear, or otherwise this can be understood as a pause for rest, brought by Nature. When we subject this body to overwork mentally or physically, we get sleep, which is nothing but a pause that is brought up automatically. Death can also be understood in the same line. After rest one has to wake up and continue the work left out, which is still at his disposal. So

The Hindu Philosophy and the Vedic school of thought firmly believe in ‘ Punarjanma ’ (Rebirth). The most glorious epic to Hindus, the ‘ Bhagavadgita ’ proclaims that death is inevitable and after death rebirth is inevitable too, in this sentence - “ Jaatasya hi druvo mruthyuhu, Dhruvan janma mruthasyacha ………… .” There is a cycle called ‘ Life and Death ’ cycle. There is freedom for a soul from this cycle only when we attain ' Moksha' (Salvation). So about this inevitable process of births and deaths one should not worry. It is simply like going to bed at night and falling asleep and waking up again in the morning. That means death is simply going to rest and birth is getting up after rest. In between the conscious time is our life. Leaving this mortal frame (body) during the death and getting another body during the rebirth, is simply changing the worn out dress day after day. This is one way of understanding our life, and this life and death cycle. This world

If you see in Indian epics, people have taken up penance by going to forests for meditation and  for pleasing their beloved deity. Especially kings resorted to forests and taken up penance to get children or to get some powerful boons such as deathless life, victories etc., At the point of their success in penance the deity appears before them and grants boons according to their desires. How can it be possible? Let us think over and see what our Spiritual Masters wrote about it. Generally one craves for something and concentrates on heart, nose end, spine end or on a point on forehead in between the eyes (bhrukuti) thinking that his deity will appear duly pleased by his penance. This thought  of energy by concentration on a point will bring the form of deity before him and grant boons proposed by him. This happens by enfoldment of Kundalini Shakti (power knots in the spine cord) and power gets unleashed. In this process only Ravana the villain of Ramayana saw his proposed form

The revered Master Sri Rama Chandraji Maharaj says that spiritual training for the attainment of higher stages is only possible from the process of 'Pranahuti' (Yo gic transmission) and by no other means. Emphasizing the importance of 'Pranahuti', is because the superior power of Master combined with self effort reinforces the spiritual progress. Besides this, in this path our consciousness of self effort remains subdued and never promotes the feeling of ‘ Ahankara ’ (Ego) and ‘Pride’, which often influence the worshippers following the grosser mechanical methods. The power of transmission is a yogic attainment of a very high order by which a 'Yogi' can infuse by his will power the yogic energy or Godly effulgence on anyone, and removes anything unwanted in him or detrimental to his spiritual progress. He can exercise the power not only on those assembled around him, but also on those who are away from him. Pranahuti is brought into effect through the power

Simplicity reveals the real state of a man. To live in tune with Nature is simplicity. It is not as easy as we think so. Man has gathered ' un-naturality' (artificiality) around him in the name of day by day evolution. Some articles which we treat them this year as unnecessary and luxuries have become necessities for the next year. Costly dresses like professional suiting, ornaments, TVs, Internet, Car etc., which we looked as luxurious in the yesteryears, have now became necessary things.  Now it became difficult to decide which is luxury and which is the simple need. The economical status of a man may decide which the luxury is, and which the simple need is. Man has strayed away a long distance from simplicity. We are now in a stage of comparative simplicity .  We know the result of leading luxurious life crossing our earning capacity. We will be drowned in debts. We feel self reproach when once leading a luxurious life have fallen down to lead a pathetic life afterwards

The essence of the ' Infinite' (understood and termed as the Supreme God by the wise men), that is ' Reality ' is within us. It is with us since the beginning of our individual entity because of a stir in the 'Ultimate' the process of creation started. Everything emerged from the Ultimate and a tinge of its essence in the shape of energy has crept into the creation. We too have our share as we are also the part and parcel of the creation.

Spirituality is a way of life, which leads to Reality and transforms a man into a Real man. It reveals the ultimate truth which science cannot . Science can bring forth certain facts in a laboratory through experiments, but there are numerous facts which cannot be proved in the laboratory. Spirituality deals with all such facts. It is a way to reach the Ultimate (God). It is a method through which the secrets of the Nature are unveiled.

All the humans are religious. Whether they know about it or not, they belong to a religion by birth. A few may become atheists on their way of life due to some circumstances around them. That means they lost belief in the existence of God. So in one way, religion can be defined as belief in God and the activities that are connected with the worship of the deity. But there are some religions which have got no concern about the existence of God, for example Buddhism, Charvakam etc. So it can be said that atheists may not believe in any faiths concerning the religion. Therefore religion means a cause, principle or a system of beliefs held with faith and strong feelings. In general, people believe that this is a method that establishes mutual trust between the Divine and the Human. In other words, it can be believed that this is the method of establishing a link between man and God. Every religion has been started by a great personality viz., Buddha, Jesus, Prophet Mohammad , etc.

BhagavadGita (In Sanskrit, Bhagavath means 'of the Supreme God' and the Gita means the Song or poem) is the essence of Upanishads . In Bhagavadgita in the form of questions and answers, many of the worldly based principles were answered. Arjuna , the warrior-turned-disciple and the cousin of Lord Sri Krishna, has put a question to Lord Krishna about the societal principles in the first chapter of Bhagavadgita. Let us have a look at this question and have our thoughts and discussion on it.

If you are a follower of Sahaj Marg , you might know very well what Mahatma Sri Ramachandraji Maharaj says about the Way of Life . However for the first time readers/visitors, here is the summary of Babuji's spiritual wisdom . The end of 'Religion' is the beginning of 'Spirituality', the end of 'Spirituality' is the beginning of 'Reality' and the end of 'Reality' is the 'Real Bliss'. When that too is gone we have reached the 'Destination'. That is it. That is Sahaj Marg and Babuji's great and priceless message summarized for you! What we can understand from the above sentences is that one has to evolve step by step from the stages of Religion, Spirituality, Reality and Bliss and further  on to the real goal of life i.e., mergence with the Ultimate  losing total individuality.  For this one need not leave his regular way of life.  Only thing one has to do is to regularize one's way of life.

What is the 'Real goal of human life' ? Our birth of human life is not accidental, causeless and meaningless. It is according to cause and effect theory. There is a purpose for birth and living. Hinduism believes in Births and Re-births. The cause for our birth is our past impressions (Sanskaras). These impressions will be wiped off only by undergoing them. There is no other go than this. In this way we have to remove the coverings surrounded by our soul and we have to become free.

Sahaj Marg is the Natural path of Realization. This is the system followed in the Rama Chandra Mission, Shahjahanpur (UP) India , a mission founded by Mahatma Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj . On the occasion of Birth Centenary celebrations of Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj held on 9 th and 10 th February 2000 at Cuddapah centre, the Abhyasi Shri T.V. Srinivasa Rao , Advocate, has elucidated to us, the following, “ Sahaj Marg in a nut shell ” in the words of Shri Rama Chandraji. The Mission : Great men are not accidentally born. They are born when the world needs them most. Such is the usual course of Nature. The present life or gross materialism has led the world to the very verge of decay and ruin. Degradation has almost reached the final stage. Morality is tottering hopelessly. Irreligiousness is gaining ground in almost every mind. Selfishness, prejudice and vanity have become the prominent features of the day. Ungodliness is rampant everywhere. Clouds of ignorance and sin
