God

God is that subtle truth of life in absence of which existence of life on Mother Earth was not possible. Reaching God is reaching the end of cosmic journey! One can always feel the presence of God but having reached stage of enlightenment it is only enlightened beings that come face-to-face with God in their lifetime!

God is not an entity as a human being. It is a source of power... such colossal power that Bhagavad Gita, the sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna gives the Definition of God as, "the sum total of all the purified souls atmans in the cosmos at any given point of time" and this reduces to a paltry half the size of a thumb. Yes, the size of God is half the size of a thumb at the beginning of every Cosmos.

Meaning that when the dissolution of cosmos finally occurs... the whole Cosmos reduces to half the size of a thumb and this is what we call God Almighty! This massive colossal power in its pristine glorious form unable to retain itself for long explodes with a Big Bang giving rise to the birth of a new Cosmos... a new journey!

Right from the first journey as an amoeba by our soul atman within... and to the last 8.4 millionth manifestation... the journey of the soul exists for God Almighty is there. The existence of the soul atman itself confirms the existence of god Almighty.

Our soul atman being a miniscule form of God Almighty... one can continue living as an atheist (a non believer of God) but inherently every atheist believes in the existence of a mighty power that one considers above all. This mighty power can be the shape of a colossal energy source but atheists never considers it to be God Almighty... one who created the creation!

Whatever be our belief... the existence of god Almighty can never be negated. As per Bhagavad Gita... the sum total of all purified atmans souls in the cosmos is what we call God Almighty. When every soul atman is connected to the mighty soul God Almighty... the question of non existence of god Almighty does not arise!

We may believe in existence of god as an entity or otherwise... the fact remains that God Almighty is of the form of colossal energy... and it can never have a form! in hinduism the believers in the Sakaar form (having a form) of God are in the wrong. God does not have a form. God is always Nirakaar in form (formless).

It is only when perceived from the senses point of view, "it sometimes appears to a devotee of God that God has a form and is Sakaar in nature. But the truth is exactly opposite. The intelligence of every human being is limited by his senses. It is only when the true seeker of spirituality steps beyond the domain of physical senses that the true existence of god in the Cosmos can be visualized.

Only those who having transgressed the physical senses and the mind, reach the level of Nirvikalpa Samadhi and are able to visualize truly the existence of god Almighty. Right from amoeba to the level of a human being... it is not within the powers of one to visualize the Nirakaar form of God. To reach that level one has to transgress the physical senses and the mind.

God on the whole is the full puzzle and every individual soul atman being individual parts of the large puzzle. As and when an individual soul atman reaches stage of enlightenment and finally salvation... this particular piece of puzzle comes back to join the main puzzle. It is only when the dissolution of cosmos occurs that all pieces of the puzzle reach their 8.4 millionth manifestation in order to complete the puzzle.

Reaching back to the source has been termed as reaching the kingdom of heaven in Christianity. in hinduism one reaches the level of Baikuntha... the abode of God!

Right from the first manifestation as an amoeba and to the last as a human being... the only purpose of the soul atman within is to purify itself and come back to its original pristine pure form. Only then the soul atman shall reach the stage of Baikuntha (abode of God in Hinduism). The total cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations is intended for that. A total travel of 96.4 million earthly years... a long journey indeed!

I receive many queries as to why God created the Cosmos in the first place. Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Kurushetra prohibits the answer of this question. It is not within the powers of a human being to rightly assess the cause for God to have created the Cosmos itself! Why indulge in matters beyond the realm of the physical senses and the mind?

We need to understand that having transgressed the domain of the five senses and the mind... everything becomes crystal clear to every serious seeker of spirituality as to why God created the whole Cosmos. Down further it is not only difficult nay impossible for one to decipher as to why God created the Cosmos in the first place.

The total journey of 8.4 million manifestations is regulated by doctrine of karma. Bhagavad Gita the sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna also emphasizes upon the merit of doing ones karma. In the present Kali Yuga... prime importance has been attached to the doctrine of karma. Swami Vivekananda also emphasized upon doing the right karma all the time.

It is only karma and karma alone which shall shorten the journey of soul atman within us. Performance of the Punya karma expedites the journey of the soul atman within the body. Negative karma only enhances the journey by the soul atman within.

It is only when our soul atman has been purified of all the dross contained within that it becomes free to go to the kingdom of God (Baikuntha in Hinduism). As we remove the impurities within the ore to separate metal from it... likewise the dross within the soul atman is required to be removed by performing of the right karma by the body. Punya karma enhances the journey and negative karma delays it.

It is purely dependent upon every soul atman nay every individual body for that matter to expedite or not to expedite the journey. Punya karma leads to enhancing the journey for the soul atman within. Indulgence in negative karma leads to prolonging the journey!

In the present Kali Yuga it is utmost essential for a serious seeker of spirituality to practice yoga meditation in a manner that the dross within the soul atman gets reduced. Only then one can hope to reach the end of the journey... gain enlightenment and finally salvation (moksha in Hinduism... Nirvana in Buddhism)!

From the first manifestation, the stage of an amoeba and to the last manifestation, the stage of a human being, God always acts as a Dhrista onlooker! It never interferes in the creation of his. All is dependent upon the doctrine of karma. As we perform so shall we get... nothing less or more! It is only the doctrine of karma which gets us through this Samsara (worldly life on Mother Earth).

Ever since the beginning of time God has always remained a Dhrista onlooker... right from the stage of the Big Bang and to the last stage of every Cosmos... the dissolution itself, the role of God has never been of a Karta (doer)! Every Jiva (living being) for that matter lives by doctrine of karma and governs itself.

To summarize in a nutshell... the existence of god on Mother Earth can never be denied! Every soul atman within the body is a miniscule form of God Almighty. The moment it gains pristine purity... it reaches stage of enlightenment and finally salvation... the end of the journey!

Be it omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, what if jesus indian hindu god was one of us, name of interview with conversation with Brahman, heavenly father... everything bogs down to... whether or not we truly understand what god stands for!

Hinduism Beliefs Primarily, everything that is contained in all the four Vedas exists in Bhagavad Gita. The knower of Bhagavad Gita reaches stage of enlightenment (Kaivalya Jnana) and finally Salvation (moksha). There is nothing beyond for a Human Being to achieve.

Hinduism Eternal Sanatan Dharma People in the west look with awe at the Teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita. The depth of the Teachings makes them completely bewildered. Those intelligent ultimately realize having reached the final document required for one to proceed towards the journey of Salvation (moksha).

Moksha You become one with God ... the Creator! How noble for an atman soul to get liberated from the body it so badly desired to shed!! Taking Moksha Salvation ... An onward journey to the abode of birth ... The Cosmic Abode from where all Atmans start their journey at the time of Big Bang!!!

Big Bang- the big bang theory Unless and until every single soul atman becomes enlightened and gains Salvation Moksha in Hinduism... they shall not become pure and regain their original pristine state. Unless that happens... the start of a new Cosmos with a big bang cannot occur.

Acharya- Guru Teacher The first line addresses paying obeisance to Arihants... the spiritual masters who had reached the stage of enlightenment. The second line addresses the Tirthankars in Jainism... those spiritual masters who having gained enlightenment sought Salvation Moksha in hinduism within their lifetime.
