Spiritualism is fully advanced “Science & Technology”
We have seen how technology has been transforming every sphere in our lives in the last 100 years! As we advance … further advancement is progressively getting accelerated … taking lesser time for quantum jumps! Where will this end finally? We will end in “Spirituality”. How?
Computer sizes have been shrinking. What would have occupied a building will now fit into our palm! As miniaturization continues, things are becoming smaller and smaller – but with their abilities growing bigger and bigger! We are now talking of Nano-technology (molecular structural manipulation towards specific functionality). It will then move towards atoms and then sub-atomic particles and finally through allotropic forms of pure energy to – “Pure Consciousness”. Read the rest of this entry
Indian Democracy – Coming Dark Times
Historically – that is since the Vedic periods – India had been a very large group of monarchies, ranging in size from very small to very large, such as the size of a present small village of population of 500 to the size of an Empire with a population of 10 million or more … in those days. The ruling kings were benevolent dictators – highly educated in and self-governed by Dharma (Ethics). The rules of succession were laid down so clearly, that there were hardly any conflicts on that account. Competence to deliver good and impartial justice internally and ability to ward off threats externally were considered most important characteristics needed for a monarch – in the process of selection and election.
While the kings enjoyed the privilege and prerogative of nominating their successors while still functioning as kings – it was not automatic for confirmation. The ministers had the right to question the choice and selection of the king – about the track record of the nominee prince or the heir-apparent. Only after due deliberations on the choice of the successor, the new prince was confirmed for the crowning ceremony. The popularity of the king’s nominee with the common people of the kingdom was also a major factor in determining the suitability of the heir-apparent prior to the confirmation as the crown prince. Even a small blemish in following the ethics or morals by the individual will permanently disqualify him for future kinghood. He was to function as de facto king (king in probation) – under the supervision of the actual king – for fairly long time to prove his mettle before getting the final confirmation as the king by the governing council of ministers. The retired king was never powerless; he held the veto power to disqualify the newly crowned king – if he becomes unpopular later by virtue of his conduct and bad governance. There was no incentive to indulge in corruption, while there were all rewards for good governance. Read the rest of this entry
Spiritualism, Ritualism & Geetha
Swami Vivekananda – is the most revered modern Indian for his intellectuality who stunned the audience in the world congress of parliament of religions in Chicago in the year 1893 by simply commencing his speech with “Dear Sisters & Brothers” instead of the usual ladies & gentlemen while starting the address. This simple act said everything the Veda stands for through that first sentence. Vivekananda visualized Veda as bifurcated into two main parts –viz- Spiritualism & Ritualism.
Adopting the spiritualism of Veda but dropping the ritualism out of it, as he found it to be of no importance – Gauthama Siddartha fathered Buddhism.
The greatest treatise on the core tenets of Veda – the essence of everything that is needed for spiritualism – is epitomized and enunciated in “Bhagavath Geetha by Sri Krishna” – which for Hindus – is the equivalent of – Bible for Christians & Koran for Muslims.
Sri Krishna defined the Human – essentially as the “Aathman” (Soul or Spirit) – a micro fragment of “Paramaathman” (God) who is eternal and indestructible – omnipotent, omnipresent & omniscient.
