Responsible Soul

Death and what happens after death are the two main factors of many organised religions. 

The followers of such religions live and die in perennial fear. Whereas VEDANTA can give a seeker total peace of mind almost instantaneously.  The life of a person is the greatest journey one can ever have. Do not forget that it is the journey that matters and is most precious. Do not waste even a single moment of it thinking about what happens after death.   

Know that apart from these TWO TRUTHS, everything else is IRRELEVANT. Avoid everything and everyone that prevents you from living life.  

The Preface of the book for your read by the author. 

Life is a grand journey between two points in time. The manner in which an individual views life, experiences it, perceives various situations and reacts to them shape it apart from building their entire personality.  

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a perfect guide to blissful living. However, the reputation of being deep, intense, complicated and highly philosophical that it carries, usually discourages seekers, both young and senior, from reading it.  

This book is aimed at making it easy for seekers to comprehend the essence of the amazing scripture, which is a great gift to humankind, and alter their whole perspective of life.  Those who study the scripture at a young age can be sure of a highly enriching and fulfilling life.  Studying the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and internalising Krishna's core teachings couldn't get any simpler than this.  

This life-changing Scripture, which is a dialogue between Shri Krishna and Arjuna as narrated by Sanjaya, is not meant to be merely chanted or recited. It needs to be experienced, understood, and lived. Almost everyone loves drama and that is one of the reasons why this scripture has been narrated in a dramatic manner but not recited in a monotonous way.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita can be called the panacea for all sorts of issues in life. It is a Divine treatise that can systematically guide a seeker to attain mastery over his or her own mind, which is where everything that exists, exists.  Do not waste your time looking for solutions outside you. Follow the teachings of the JagadGuru (Supreme Teacher of the Universe) Shri Krishna, learn to activate your own Divine Energy through a balanced mind, and work on creating a blissful and fulfilling life for yourself, for your loved ones, and for everyone around you.

LIFE IS THE GREATEST GIFT. LIVE, RELISH, AND CELEBRATE IT GRATEFULLY AND RESPONSIBLY.

Unknowingly committing wrongful deeds is one thing, but why do some people commit deeds knowing very well that they are wrong? Understanding the way a person acts and reacts to situations can help a seeker go a long way in Self-Improvement.  

Arjuna asks Krishna: What prompts a man to perform sinful deeds, O descendant of Vrshni (Krishna)? Why does he commit such acts even without desiring to do them, as if he were forced? 

Krishna replies: "................................................................................"  

What a photographer who wishes to shoot a picture usually does include aiming the camera at the subject, turning the dial to adjust the focus, confirming if the light available is sufficient for the exposure, holding the camera steady, and finally shooting. A gunman or an archer also does something similar to what the photographer does except that when he shoots, a projectile is fired out of his weapon unlike what happens in a camera.

Some people wonder why bad things keep happening to them again and again and why they always get cheated or let down by others. As a matter of fact, there are patterns which time and again, occur in everybody’s life. You may have come across some people who...

This presentation contains a set of 23 questions asked by some of the visitors to this site and their respective answers from me. They are primarily the most common questions people have regarding the Sanatana Dharma, which in no way is any organised religion. It is an ancient yet rational philosophy that has evolved over many millennia thanks to the contribution of great people including highly accomplished sages, and it has been handed down to the present generation of people by our forefathers who preserved it in order for us to benefit from it.

However, care needs to be taken to avoid its very essence of being nondualistic from being altered and doctored by certain groups of people and religious organisations with vested interests or due to sheer ignorance. Doing so leads to major misunderstandings about the supreme philosophy of the Advaita Vedanta, which, when translated, means the ‘Nondualistic (path) towards the end or the goal of knowledge.’

Many people believe that troubles in life are a result of Karmic retribution. Well, it is quite understandable that past Karma could be a cause for not only the bad times that one experiences in life but also for the good ones, but calling it retribution.....

Many people believe that troubles in life are a result of Karmic retribution. Well, it is quite understandable that past Karma could be a cause for not only the bad times that one experiences in life but also for the good ones, but calling it ‘retribution’, goes against the very principle of ‘Cause and Effect’.  

We all are aware that the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between Arjuna and Bhagavan Krishna. Arjuna was not only in a dilemma, but he was also under severe stress because he was unsure of what he was supposed to do. He found it difficult to decide what was righteous and what was not.

What is it that causes a person to sin?

SBG 3:40 “The senses, the mind and the intelligence are called the seats of lust. They cover the power of discrimination and knowledge and delude the embodied being.”

Quite often you hear single people say, “I feel lonely,” “I have no one to love me,” “Is my Karma so bad that I can’t get married and have a good spouse?” “I feel so depressed, dejected and bitter with my life,” and so on..........

Almost everyone has undergone heartaches caused by someone who hurt them or left them for someone else. It could have been among school friends, colleagues, relatives or romantic couples who had sworn earlier they would never leave. From a psychological point of view, such a heartache can be said to be a result of ego, attachment and the will to possess the loved person.

When a person suggests something to you, you are actually receiving thoughts and ideas from another human being with their own education and different kinds of experience. The information or advice is all the more important when the other person is of the opposite gender!

The hard, bitter, undeniable and unavoidable truth about life is, death. It is the only event that one can be sure of taking place someday or the other. Just as all rivers rush towards the ocean...

When things do not go as one wishes, they tend to blame others, their fate, their natal chart, their teachers, their country and everyone as well as everything else other than themself who is the actual cause of everything. I have written in quite a few posts of mine about the three possibilities why things happen to people in life:
1. Everything is merely a coincidence and nothing has any reason whatsoever.
2. It is due to the principle of Cause and Effect or Karma
3. There is a God above who is doing all this to you.
