No, I am not Crazy.....may be when it comes to laughing ๐ ๐คญ ๐ 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...LOL๐๐
๐ฑ. 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 ๐คฉ๐คฏ๐คฎbefore 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 ๐ญ๐ค๐. 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, bene๏ฌcial, 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 brฤhmaแนas ( sober person ) work.
WISHING YOU & YOUR FAMILY HAPPY with LAUGHTER CRAZINESS ๐ป๐ป๐คก 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.
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 ๐ ๐ ๐. 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 ๐ ๐ ๐ to Everyone.

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.

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 ๐ 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 [Kแนแนฃแนa 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 ๏ฌrst 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.
