AM I CRAZY?

No, I am not Crazy.....may be when it comes to laughing 😂 🤭 😆 yes I am little bit crazy. Most of my friends, colleagues and family members know me and how I laugh so much , sometimes for silly reason, sometimes before conversation and many times tears come out from my eyes due to too much laughter.....yes it is craziness in Mode of Goodness. There are many people in the world blessed with laughter craziness and You are one of them...LOL😇😅😱. I also laugh and get little disappointed when I see the spelling & grammatical errors and sometimes harsh words in some of my articles but I am getting better day by day. Little LOL 🤩🤯🤮before the article. 
AM I CRAZY?


Now a days people are posting so many things on Social media and You tube ( Pictures, Lifestyles , Politics, Bollywood, Hollywood, Sports events, Healthcare, Vacation, Adventure, Talents, Achievements, Wild life, Commercials , Philosophy.....etc ). We can see our loved one pictures, cherish the moments , their achievement & learn many good things from all these posts.....some of the posts are good time pass & entertainment topics....and sometimes little bit nuisance also.



I use social media pretty much for posting the philosophical articles ( once in while for pictures ) every weekend since December 2013. Sometimes people who know me must be wondering AM I CRAZY? What happens to me? Why so much Passion about Philosophy or Spirituality?



Spirituality in our day to day life means Love & Passion ( means Devotion ) while playing our role either as a parents, spouse, children, siblings, friends, relatives, employees , employers, as a president.....or whatever role is given to us in this world. Yes our action , behavior, speech....every activities should fill up with Compassion & Enthusiasm. I have strong opinion with the faith, that without daily food of Spiritual thoughts & other spiritual practices we can not purify ourselves to sustain/uplift our Divine qualities. Our RELATIONSHIP, MORALITY, HEALTH & HAPPINESS are also based on our Spiritual foundations. Some people in this world are born with many Divine qualities good for them, their family & society.....but there is alway a room for improvement. 



Just like Eating, Sleeping, Matting & Defending are basic necessities of life similarly daily Hearing/Reading Spiritual thoughts are also very much essential to maintain/upgrade our Divinity to justify our birth as a Human. It is always good to have our physical fitness as well. WITHOUT SPIRITUALITY in BACKGROUND material entertainment, success , fame & power can CREATE lots of DISTURBANCES & DEGRADATION in the SOCIETY.



Our Mind means Mentality or Consciousness is designed such a way that if we can’t UPGRADE it with Spiritual thoughts then by default It will DEGRADE us. Daily practice of Spiritual Yoga ( Bhakti Yoga ) will gradually diminish our Demonic qualities & our Divinity will shine again.



How much time should I spend for my Physical & Spiritual YOGA ? We can start with 30 minuets for exercise ( walking, running, gym, yoga....etc whatever work for us ) and 30 minuets for Hearing/ Reading the Scriptures or whichever Philosophy work for us.......if you add Healthy diet in menu then it becomes Triple Play..LOL 😭🤑😎. Good taste of Spiritual thoughts will guide us further, give us new perspective & direction in our life. No, I AM NOT a CRAZY about posting the philosophical articles every weekend but in fact I am proud of posting the articles. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God. 



Bg 6.5 — One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well.


Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system. ( Vedabase.com ).


Bg 17.15 — Austerity of speech consists in speaking words that are truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and also in regularly reciting Vedic literature.


Bg 18.42 — Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness – these are the natural qualities by which the brāhmaṇas ( sober person ) work. 



WISHING YOU & YOUR FAMILY HAPPY with LAUGHTER CRAZINESS 😻👻🤡 NEW YEAR from OUR FAMILY.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:

I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read everyday the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone, Google, Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.

SANTA CLAUS 🎅:

Most widely celebrated festival across the continent is CHRISTMAS. Festivities comprise of family/friends/colleagues get together, Christmas parties, decorating the Christmas tree, lighting, feasting.....etc....and the Santa Claus. People enjoy their time off from work , obviously lots of shopping and staying home with loved ones. 
Out off all the biggest excitement of Christmas is the Santa Claus bringing children’s favorite gift on the Christmas night. As a parents we know that there is no Santa Claus.....we are the one packing the gift and leaving underneath the Christmas tree....so our enthusiastic kids can enjoy opening the gift boxes next day. Children are in illusion that there is real Santa.
Just like our children live in illusion about Santa Claus.....we are also living in illusion. 1. Illusion of seeing myself as a physical body rather then Soul. 2. Illusion of seeing ourselves as a controller & proprietor of this world. 3. Illusion about nonexistence of God. ......there is big list of illusion.......
Let’s comeback to reality from this topic of illusion....LOL 😝 😂 😆. Time to celebrate & enjoy the Christmas Holidays with our friends & family......and in this Christmas while kids requesting their favourite gifts we should also request the Precious Everlasting gift from Santa Claus in the form of True knowledge to know myself & the God.

The Vedanta-sutra (1.1.1) states, athato brahma jijnasa: "Now one should inquire about Brahman - The absolute truth, the transcendental, spiritual nature" possible only in human life.

Bg:13-12:— Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).

Luke 2:14.“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Mark 12:30.“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”

Mark 12:31. “Love your neighbor as yourself”.

Merry Christmas 🎄 💝 🎁 to Everyone.

IS the GOD of the ABRAHAMIC ( Judaism , Christianity & Islamic Religions ) traditions the SAME as the GOD of the VEDIC traditions ( Hindu Religion) ?

Yes, Philosophical definition & Scriptural revelation of the God is same in Abrahamic & Vedic traditions or any other Theistic religion like Sikhism. Cultural perception of God is different according to the Time, Place, Circumstances, Religion & People’s understandings.

Don’t try to understand the God by Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation.

Very good explanation by Highly Intellectual....very clear fundamentals on Vedic Scriptures , Abrahamic Religion, other Philosophy, also in fields of Science & Quantum Physics....Very Inspirational & motivational life starting from Childhood.....also known by name Spiritual Scientist.....HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu.

TOPMOST SCANDAL:

Now a days in the news we here all kind of Scandals everywhere in the society. Out of all SEXUAL SCANDAL is on the Top....can sink us down from Top, detrimental to our family & society. It can happen in anyone’s life, how to prevent 🛑 this? No one is able to help us in this subject matter, individual has to help himself to be away from any kind of scandal....very challenging in current environment. But it is possible by strengthening our mind & sharpening our intelligence with Spiritual thoughts & taking some extra precautions
We have to control our lower material nature with higher Spiritual nature.

Bg 3.43 — Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to the material senses, mind and intelligence, O mighty-armed Arjuna, one should steady the mind by deliberate spiritual intelligence [Kṛṣṇa consciousness] and thus – by spiritual strength – conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust. ( Vedabase.com ).

By nature we are pleasure seeking soul. Throughout the life we are in search of joy & pleasure, we like to enjoy this world unlimitedly. Naturally people have enjoyment & pleasure while eating palatable food, sleeping, some recreational activities and meeting opposite sex. Lord Krishna stated in Gita that according to our desire we get particular kind of body to enjoy this world. Just like specific outerwear fits to specific gross body, similarly specific gross body fits to specific kinds of mind desire to enjoy this world.

Bg 15.9 — The living entity, thus taking another gross body, obtains a certain type of ear, eye, tongue, nose and sense of touch, which are grouped about the mind. He thus enjoys a particular set of sense objects. 

Out of all this material pleasure & desire sexual pleasure & desire is on top. That is the sum and substance of pleasure. You'll find everywhere two, one male and female, either legitimate or illegitimate, either human being or animal or birds or beast. 

With our common sense, some experience & observing people around us we know that all these material pleasures activities are short lasting and anything too much is detrimental to our mental & physical health , it can be either too much food, sleep or sex or any kind of recreational activities or even work.....anything too much not good for us. 

When you are walking on path of Spiritual Journey or Yoga means to connect with Divine, we need to conserve the energy, divert our mental & physical energy toward Spirituality.

Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system. ( Vedabase.com ).

We can not be desire less, our mind desire has to be redirected towards better long lasting pleasure & should be uplifting to our Consciousness rather then degrading it. Questions is where & how to redirect our desire? 1st of all we need to realize that all these temporary material pleasures not providing me long lasting inner satisfaction, there is no direction or goal to my life. These pleasures taste like nectar in beginning but poison at the end.

Bg 18.38 — That happiness which is derived from contact of the senses with their objects and which appears like nectar at first but poison at the end.

Only way you can give up any material pleasure if you find better pleasure somewhere else. Whole philosophy of Gita is based on Transcending our material energy, desire or consciousness to the Top Most, Very Attractive & Transcendental Spiritual Objects of this world that's Krishna or God. Krishna means who attracts everyone. Hearing, Reading, Glorifying, Seeing Deity, Singing, Chanting about Krishna or God gives us plenty of joys & inner satisfaction will gradually diminish Demonic qualities & our Divinity will shine again.
( Key is do not suppress any material desires but redirects ). 
Lord Krishna has 1000 names based on quality, one of the name is Madana-Mohana......means he can captivate even the Cupid. This is Cupid's business, attraction of male and female and when Krishna attracts you, you forget this Cupid attraction. Therefore He is known as Madana-mohana.

Bg 10.9 — The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me.

Bg 18.58 — If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost. ( Vedabase.com ).

Thoughts of Gita will help us to strengthen our mind, sharpen our intelligence and redirect our senses toward Self-Realization & Supreme Everlasting Happiness. Let’s stop leakage & conserve our mental & physical energy and redirect from ENTERTAINMENT to ENLIGHTENMENT.

GITA is MY BIOGRAPHY:

I have found great satisfaction in sharing articles every weekend based on Vedic Scriptures mostly on Gita. Writing or sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru.....hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by grace of Guru & God.
Today I thought let me talk about Gita in brief. Vedic Library ( Veda means knowledge ) is collection of so many authentic Vedic Scriptures. Vedic Scriptures are Faultless Transcendental Knowledge passed on to us through Guru-Disciple chain. Gita is conclusion of all Vedic Scriptures spoken about 5000 years ago by Lord Krishna to Arjuna just before the  Mahabharata War for a Justice on the pious land of Kurukshetra. Gita was spoken on Margashirsha Sud Ekadashi according to Lunar Calendar known as Gita Jayanti day ( last Thursday was the day ).

Gita in short is Biography of our own life, a book of True Knowledge relevant to everyone on this planet 🌎 irrespective of their nationality, religion or culture. Gita in brief talk about five thing highlighted below.

1. My Identity. I am eternal Soul living in the material body until body is livable and transmigrate to another body after death. See the link for detail. http://pankajpatelmd.blogspot.com/2017/05/who-am-i_18.html

Bg 2.13 — As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

2. My Consciousness in My Action: Core of Gita focus on introspection within my mentality or my consciousness or my material nature or my Mode. Our thinking, action, behavior, work ethics & relationships...etc.....they all depend on our Mentality. Our mentality decides quality of our day to day life...and overall our whole life.....that means our destiny decided by our Mentality. Our Mentality goes along with eternal Soul after death....and depends on our Mentality/Desires we get next body. There are three kind of Mentality...Goodness, Passion and Ignorance.

Bg 14.5 — Material nature consists of three modes – goodness, passion and ignorance. When the eternal living entity comes in contact with nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he becomes conditioned by these modes.

3. My Destiny. Gita talks about results of our action or Karma. Talks in depth about specific action performed with specific mentality or consciousness and it consequences which is define as Karma. Our whole life is the result of summation of an individual action performed throughout the life. In short our destiny is reservoir of our Karma. We have Free will to choose our action with specific mindset ....it means Destiny is in our hand. Of course time, place and circumstances have some impact on our material modes......and thus on our destiny.

4. Gita also talk about Time factor & Surrounding situations which we cannot able to control. We can not change surrounding situations but of course we can change our Mentality. Time is not in our hand....slowly & steadily time will destroy everything in our life except our Mentality which will carry along with eternal Soul after death.

Bg 15.9 — The living entity, thus taking another gross body, obtains a certain type of ear, eye, tongue, nose and sense of touch, which are grouped about the mind. He thus enjoys a particular set of sense objects.

Bg 15.10 — The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this.

Our Mind means Mentality or Consciousness is designed such a way that if we can’t UPGRADE it then by default It will DEGRADE us.

How to Purify my Consciousness ........and thus change my Destiny?

5. Besides our own diary Gita in depth talk about Supreme Spiritual Consciousness or God...Lord Krishna the Absolute Truth the source of everything and speaker of Gita. Self realization is about realizing present stage of my Consciousness and then take necessary action to uplift my Consciousness ( there is always a room for improvement ) to perform my prescribed duty.......and thus change my Destiny. We can purify our Consciousness not by indulging into any material objects of this world but by absorbing into Supreme Spiritual Consciousness that’s GOD. By hearing, reading and thinking about Gita/God will start purifying our senses and our material consciousness becomes spiritual....thus our action becomes spiritual. We can built the loving relationship with God & Transcendent our mind from material entanglement by practicing SPIRITUAL YOGA means linking our mind with Supreme.

Conclusion of Gita is the Spiritual Yoga. In age of darkness which is full of disagreement, quarrel, hypocrisy, sever anxiety and very agitated mind, it is almost impossible to practice other YOGA mentioned in Gita to purify ourselves.

Bg 15.19 — Whoever knows Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without doubting, is the knower of everything. He therefore engages himself in full devotional service to Me, O son of Bharata.

Bg 18.58 — If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost.

Hearing/Reading GITA everyday help us to know ourselves , upgrade/maintain our purity, love, enthusiasm and other divine qualities to justify our birth as a Human. GITA is the SOLUTION for all kind of Socioeconomic, Political, Health, Environmental, Birth- Death cycle or any kind of CRISIS in this World.......just by Fixing our Mentality.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us, elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill love for God & his creation.

DON’T JUDGE ANYONE:

Especially your spouse, family, friends , coworkers & customers.....or any one. We can have our opinion, disagreement with someone but we shouldn’t be judgmental about them. We can be disappointed with someone by mind but should not from our heart. Easy to say...very difficult to practice but possible.

Don’t look into the past of Saintly person and Don’t Judge the future of Sinner. Every Soul has potential to change his/her life. 


We should not judge any one as a sinner. Let’s person judge him/her self through their own consciousness. Perfect Yogi is one who can see everyone equally. 



Bg 5.18 — The humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle brāhmaṇa, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste].



Bg 6.32 — He is a perfect yogī who, by comparison to his own self, sees the true equality of all beings, in both their happiness and their distress, O Arjuna!



Of course we are not perfect YOGI, we can not be friends with everyone but we can be well wishers for everyone.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.

ENTERTAINMENT in MODE of GOODNESS.

Few weeks ago we went to see an Indian musical cultural event organized by Aiana Elite Cultural Club of NJ. The program was conducted by Tushar Shukla a poetry writer with rich, romantic, soothing, elegant, humorous and eloquent Gujarati language. Melodious singing performed by Sanjay Oza, his son Parth Oza and Mitali Mahant. Theme of event was 'Saji Sol Re Shangar' means Women getting ready with ornaments and all kind of makeup from head to toes while going to divine Navaratri festival or at the time of wedding or any other good occasion. Varieties of Gujarati Lok-Geet and Hindi filmy songs were sung by the team appropriate to the occasions to appreciate women’s beauty. Wife or any woman have her own inner beauty but looks more beautiful with ornaments and other makeup. Her beauty will glow on her face, will be seen in her eyes and speak in her smile if appreciated by Husband or Man. Yes sense of appreciation has lot of positive power. Truly speaking whole program was joyful , pleasant, romantic & refreshing “Entertainment in Mode of Goodness”.....as per audience’s taste and liking.
Life is all about likes and dislikes. If we observe our life from childhood we like certain kind of things according to our taste that depends on our personality or mentality. 

There are three kind of Material Modes described in Scriptures that explained our Mentality and things surrounding us. Everything in this world classified according to these three Modes of Material nature....like our Life style, Food we eat, Clothes we were, Movies we watch, Music we hear or any other Entertainment we enjoy , Things we post on Social Media, Home we live in, Company we keep, Our habits, Quality of Language we speak, Surrounding Environment we live in, How do we react & act with others....etc.....yes each & everything classified in three Modes of Material nature. 

Introspect your Personality or Mode. MODE of GOODNESS is the best personality to cultivate to live our life. Behavior in Mode of Goodness will make you & others happy. We can appreciate everything around us....but at a same time with our sense of discrimination we should know what is good or bad for my spiritual growth. Life is about changing ourselves not surrounding us. 

Bg 14.5 — Material nature consists of three modes – goodness, passion and ignorance. When the eternal living entity comes in contact with nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he becomes conditioned by these modes.

Bg 14.6 — O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions. Those situated in that mode become conditioned by a sense of happiness and knowledge.

BE SELFISH:

Selfishness is actually a quality of person in Mode of Ignorance. It is good to be generous & sharing mentality ( Mode of Goodness ) but when it comes to our health & spirituality be little SELFISH. Most of us must have experienced that life sometimes get entangled so-much with work, family & social responsibility, we hardly get time for ourselves. Down the road this kind of busy lifestyle affects our physical & mental health not good for us, our family or society. If we are healthy physically & mentally ( I mean wisdom ) we become joyful, loving, caring, enthusiastic, energetic, efficient...etc will be more productive and helpful to ourselves, family & society.....Win-Win situation. Family & Society should depends on us rather then we depends on them. 


In this age of darkness looks like animals & other creatures are in better position then human in terms of survival.....they don’t have to be educated and do hard labor to maintain themselves in comparison to human.....LOL. We as human should spare few hours for ourselves to maintain our physical & mental health ( spiritual wisdom ) besides maintaining other responsibilities. It is better if we can sacrifice some time & wealth now rather then later to earn our health & some wisdom......before it is too late. Be GREEDY to earn your physical wealth & wisdom. Don’t sacrifice your health for wealth. “Prevention is better then Cure. Evolution is better then Revolution”. Of course we need wealth to survive & enjoy the life, we should spend our time & wealth wisely.


Starting new project is always challenging.....we need to develop higher taste to study good spiritual books, eating healthy food & for exercises. Everything in our life has to be balanced eating, sleeping, work, recreation...etc.....to remain fit & progress in spiritual life. Even to become successful in our career & earn wealth we need some discipline.


Bg 6.16 — There is no possibility of one’s becoming a yogī, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.                                                                                                                                                                                                 Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system ( Vedabase.com ).

DIWALI 🔥 🎁 🍭 NEW YEAR RESOLUTION:

Diwali is one of the most popular festivals celebrated in the Indian calendar. The fes­tivities comprise of firecrackers, feasting, artis, family get-togethers and illuminations.
Historically, the import of Diwali is not about lighting of lamps, but the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya. So our celebration of Diwali will remain incomplete if we focus ourselves only for light­ing lamps , feasting & fun and not thinking about Lord Rama. 
How can we welcome the Lord back into our hearts & home and experience the essence of Diwali? By cultivating knowledge from the sacred scriptures about the Lord and His love for us and reviving our dormant love for Him & His creation by practicing Spiritual Yoga ( Bhakti Yoga ). 
So while lighting the earthen lamps during Diwali Days, let us also enlighten our heart with divine wisdom and love.
WISHING HAPPY DIWALI & HAPPY NEW YEAR to your FAMILY from our FAMILY.
Bg 9.22 — But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form – to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have.
Bg 9.29 — I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him.   (Vedabase.com ).

ATHEISTS & THEISTS:

Don't be offended or take it in your heart.❤️. Little lengthy article.

Conclusion of the article: As a atheists or theists you have to approach some one directly or indirectly to learn the philosophy either a Guru, Parents, Friend, Spouse, Sibling, Leader....or Supreme God himself as Arjuna approach to Lord Krishna. Like Lord Buddha said there is no God....millions of people believed him and still they are following him.....and indirectly he become God for them. In short as a atheist or theist you are instructed or guided by person or his/her audio/video/books......you can not runaway from word God either a real Supreme God or God concept....LOL ( whichever way you want to accept ). Note: Lord Buddha as per Vedic Scriptures is Supreme God himself 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He rejected Veda and played a roll of atheist according to time, place & circumstances to stop animal killings, violence and have peace in society ....and indirectly he wanted people to believe in God and he achieved his goal. Important point as a atheist or theist is in understanding the philosophy & implementing in our life and inspire others. ( Atheist can have Godly quality and Theist can be Demonic or vice versa ).

Writing this article as a Theist: We can follow either Quran, Bible, Gita or any other Scriptures that makes sense to us, purify us, elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill love for God & his creation. I am following Vedic Scriptures Gita & Bhagvatam the conclusion of Vedas ( means knowledge ) and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding, emotion & love through articles not enforcing on anyone. Any philosophical or spiritual discussions is always centered around dose God exists or not? Let's look into this subject. 

ATHEISTS ( Heathens in Christianity and Kafirs in Muslim ): Different types of atheist.
1. Default atheist: Too busy or too lazy to explore about God. Ignorance is bliss.
2. Philosophical atheist: They think believes in God are intellectually immature & naive. They don't have any empirical evidence or logical argument, but try to play around words, profess their explanation and packaged differently against Theism.
3. Emotional atheist: Turn away from God due to corruption, materialism, too many scandals in religion and seeing too much suffering all around the world, lost the trust in God.
4. Covered atheist: They are in delusion, do not see the God as a supreme person separate from other living entities. They believe everyone can become God as a part of bigger oneness and universal consciousness...Dog can become God also...LOL.
5. Psychological atheist: See the God as a Supreme Person but they are running the show by keeping themselves in center ( or their followers keep them in center ) and eventually they become God......Guru becomes God.

Bg 7.25 -- I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal potency, and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible.

Bg 9.11 -- Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be. ( Vedabase.com ).

Bg 9.12 -- Those who are thus bewildered are attracted by demonic and atheistic views. In that deluded condition, their hopes for liberation, their fruitive activities, and their culture of knowledge are all defeated

Bg 16.8 -- They ( Atheists ) say that this world is unreal, with no foundation, no God in control. They say it is produced of sex desire and has no cause other than lust.

THEISTS: They see the God as a Supreme person separate from other living entities. God is not abstract or some kind of light , by definition God is the Absolute Truth the source of everything. God is unborn, complete, infinite eternal living person known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes and he is seed giving father for every living entities.
As a THEIST here is some logical argument about existence of GOD.

1. Invisibility is not a proof of nonexistent like we never saw our forefathers, other planets and so many other things in the universe. Our vision is very limited just like frog in well can not understand how big is ocean similarly we can not understand the God, this world & universe beyond this world by mental speculation.

2. Life comes from other life. Life can not origin from Matter either tree, birds, beast or human, has to origin from other life. Who is the seed giving supreme father for all these living entities?

3. Any thing Form or Formless has to be origin from the Form. Heat and sun shines are formless can not exist without Sun form. Every living entities has form & came from other form. So our supreme father or God by definition is Absolute Truth the source of everything has form and simultaneously presence throughout the universe in his formless or impersonal aspects.

4. Anything very precise, complex or intricate design like an universe and living entities can not be created by chance. Can we create anything in this world randomly by chance, yes we can destroy many things randomly by chance.

5. Body is made up of five basic elements or matter. Who keeps the matter alive? Scriptures described the living force of the body as a Soul which keeps body alive. Outerwear on your body moves because body is moving similarly body is moving because Soul is moving. Soul is not Matter but spiritual entity, has to be origin from other spiritual entity. Once Soul lives the body become dead matter again.

6. Many people believe that life came from Matter, question is where is origin of Matter? Nothing manufacture or happen in this world by chance.

7. Most of us ( it is fair to say none of us ) have no memory about our existence in mother womb before we born into this world. Similarly due to too many births we have lost the memories about our relationship with the God.

8. Along with five basic ingredients for our survival......knowledge in forms of Vedic Scriptures to live moral ethical life were also provided by God. The Vedic literature ( like Srimad Gita & Bhagavatam ) is a complete library for understanding life, the purpose of the creation, how the cosmos manifested, spiritual identity of the individual as an eternal soul, Supreme Being ( God ), the relationship between each other, and the pathways for directly realizing and perceiving these. Other Scriptures like Bible & Quran also written according to time, place & circumstances to understand God & his creation.

We can progress on path of Spiritual journey by having Faith in Scriptures & if they make sense to us. Vedic Philosophy is describing different aspects of realization or seeing a Supreme God or Absolute Truth the source of everything.

1. God is pervaded throughout the universe as a formless or impersonal future known as Brahaman just like our consciousness pervaded throughout the body.
2. God is seated in heart of every living entities realize as Paramatma or Super-soul.
3. God is Supreme person known as a Bhagwan or Absolute Truth the sources of everything...Complete realization of God.

Bg 7.19 -- After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.

Bg 14.4 -- It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kuntī, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.

Bg 15.15 -- I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas. (vedabase.com ).

Atheism is due to our false ego not realizing our true identity as an eternal spirit soul part & parcel of Supreme Soul or God. Our false ego is due to our impure consciousness. With spiritual practices our consciousness will start purifying lead us toward self realization......and finally God realization. Irrespective of Atheists or Theists God loves everyone.

Bg 9.29 -- I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all.

Bg 9.30 -- Even if one commits the most abominable action, if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated in his determination.

GREAT SOUL:

What is it Mean?

Coming 2nd October is Gandhiji's birthday. Many people all around the world know not everything but something about Gandhiji... where he born, how he brought up, his education, what he did ...and so many other things......How he transformed his life and inspired millions of people then, now and will in future also. Gandhiji is also known as Mahatma means Great Soul.

Great Soul or Mahatma is not about fame or recognizing person at political, financial , filmy industry, educational or any other material platform...like politicians, businessmen, filmy stars and scientists are recognized. By definition Great Soul or Mahatma ( Mahan Atma or Soul ) is about the person who can understand the Absolute Truth ( God ) the cause of all the causes and involved in spiritual activities to keep himself/herself spiritually grounded and inspire others.....toward enlightenment or self realization. 

Bg 7.3 — Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.

Bg 7.19 — After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare. ( Vedabase.com ).

Srila Prabhupada ( Abhay Charan De..birth name, ISKCON ) wrote letter on 12th July 1947 to Mahatma Gandhi...... highlighting what the true meaning of Great Soul is. Very bold & beautiful letter....truly recognizing and admiring Gandhiji but at same time warning him......also addressing in letter the real issues in India and in this world. Abhay means fearless.... Srila Prabhupada fearlessly wrote so many letters in those days to many leaders.

Here is the very fascinating letter to Gandhiji ( and other letters ), need to read  2-3 times to get real deep spiritual meaning out of it.

Letter to: Mahatma Gandhi
—Cawnpore
12 July, 1947

Mahatma Gandhijee
Bhangi Colony
New Delhi.

Dear Friend Mahatmajee,

Please accept my respectful Namaskar. I am your unknown friend but I had to write to you at times and again although you never cared to reply them. I sent you my papers "Back to Godhead" but your secretaries told me that you have very little time to read the letters and much less for reading the magazines. I asked for an interview with you but your busy secretaries never cared to reply this. Anyway as I am your very old friend although unknown to you I am again writing to you in order to bring you to the rightful position deserved by you. As a sincere friend I must not deviate from my duty towards a friend like your good self.

I tell you as a sincere friend that you must immediately retire from active politics if you do not desire to die an inglorious death. You have 125 years to live as you have desired to live but you if you die an inglorious death it is no worth. The honour and prestige that you have obtained during the course of you present life time, were not possible to be obtained by any one else within the living memory. But you must know that all these honours and prestiges were false in as much as they were created by the Illusory Energy of Godhead called the maya. By this falsity I do not mean to say that your so many friends were false to you nor you were false to them. By this falsity I mean illusion or in other words the false friendship and honours obtained thereby were but creation of maya and therefore they are always temporary or false as you may call it. But none of you neither your friends nor yourself knew this truth.

Now by the Grace of God that illusion is going to be cleared and thus your faithful friends like Acarya Kripalini and others are accusing you for your inability at the present moment to give them any practical programme of work as you happened to give them during your glorious days of non-co-operation movement. So you are also in a plight to find out a proper solution for the present political tangle created by your opponents. You should therefore take a note of warning from your insignificant friend like me, that unless you retire timely from politics and engage yourself cent per cent in the preaching work of Bhagavad-gita, which is the real function of the Mahatmas, you shall have to meet with such inglorious deaths as Mussolini, Hitlers, Tojos, Churchills or Lloyd Georges met with.

You can very easily understand as to how some of your political enemies in the garb of friends (both Indian and English) have deliberately cheated you and have broken your heart by doing the same mischief for which you have struggled so hard for so many years. You wanted chiefly Hindu-Moslem unity in India and they have tactfully managed to undo your work, by creation of the Pakistan and India separately. You wanted freedom for India but they have given permanent dependence of India. You wanted to do something for the upliftment of the position of the bhangis but they are still rotting as bhangis even though you are living in the bhangi colony. They are all therefore illusions and when these things will be presented to you as they are, you must consider them as God-sent. God has favored you by dissipating the illusion you were hovering in, and by the same illusion you were, nursing those ideas as Truth(?).

You must know that you are in the relative world which is called by the sages as Dvaita i.e. dual- and nothing is absolute here. Your Ahimsa is always followed by Himsa as the light is followed by darkness or the father is followed by the son. Nothing is absolute truth in this dual world. You did not know this neither you ever cared to know this from the right sources and therefore all your attempts to create unity were followed by disunity and Ahimsa. Ahimsawas followed by Himsa.

But it is better late than never. You must know now something about the Absolute Truth. The Truth with which you have been experimenting so long is relative. The relative truths are creations of the daivi maya qualified by the three modes of Nature. They are all insurmountable as is explained in the Bhagavad-gita (7.14). The Absolute Truth is the Absolute Godhead.

In the Katha Upanisad it is ordered that one must approach the bona fide Guru who is not only well versed in all the scriptures of the world but is also the realized soul in Brahman the Absolute—in order to learn the science of Absolute Truth. So also it is instructed in the Bhagavad-gita as follows:—

tad viddhi pranipatena

pariprasnena sevaya

upadeksyanti tad jnanam

jnaninas tattvadarsinah

(Bg. 4.34)

But I know that you never underwent such transcendental training except some severe penances which you invented for your purpose as you have invented so many things in the course of experimenting with the relative truths. You might have easily avoided them if you had approached the Guru as abovementioned. But your sincere efforts to attain some Godly qualities by austerities etc surely have raised you to some higher position which you can better utilize for the purpose of the Absolute Truth. If you, however, remain satisfied with such temporary position only and do not try to know the Absolute Truth, then surely you are to fall down from the artificially exalted position under the laws of Nature. But if you really want to approach the Absolute Truth and want to do some real good to the people in general all over the world, which shall include your ideas of unity, peace and non-violence, then you must give up the rotten politics immediately and rise up for the preaching work of the philosophy and religion of "Bhagavad-gita'' without offering unnecessary and dogmatic interpretations on them. I had occasionally discussed this subject in my paper "Back to Godhead'' and a leaf from the same is enclosed herewith for your reference.

I would only request you to retire from politics at least for a month only and let us have discussion on the Bhagavad-gita. I am sure, thereby, that you shall get a new light from the result of such discussions not only for your benefit but for the benefit of the world at large—as I know that you are sincere, honest and moralist.

Awaiting your early reply with interest.

Yours sincerely,
Abhay Charan De.

You can follow either Quran, Bible, Gita or any other Scriptures that makes sense to you, purify you and qualify to understand the God and instill love for God & his creation. I am following Vedic Scriptures Gita & Bhagvatam the conclusion of Vedas ( means knowledge ) and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding, emotion & love through articles not enforcing on anyone. 

I am inspire to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly listening Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com (Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures). Hearing & reading SB daily is purifying to our senses, nourishing & satisfying to our heart ( Soul ) and transcendental to our consciousness.

I also hear and read discourses & articles on Vedic thoughts & other philosophy from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

I am posting some article based on Vedic scriptures and literature. Of course I use Google search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook for providing platform.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.
