Glossary of words Hinduism Spirituality Inner meanings explained (N)

Namaskar is the indian way of greeting one when one meets face-to-face with another. There is a vast difference in the western mode of shaking hands and the Hindu way of saying Namaste with clasped hands.

The western culture merely addresses the physical aspect of Life. By shaking hands or touching or kissing a cheek we feel the impact only on the physical plane whereas, a Namaste has a far fledged effect ... one Atman soul addresses another Atman soul and by doing so one wishes well of the another and in the process one Atman soul even asks for Forgiveness for any wrong deed which may have been committed knowingly or unknowingly in this or earlier lives manifested by that Atman soul.

One Atman in one Life comes across a limited number of Human Beings. Why so! Ever since that Atman started on its cosmic journey, it developed bondage with limited number of Atmans (soul) in every Life. These bondages can only be severed by burning the dross within ... Getting liberated from the hold off these atmans Souls by asking for Forgiveness!

Those beings who live on the physical plane get more and more bonded in every manifested Life but those on the path of their Spiritual purification are more inclined to get free from all bondages. Sooner the better!

The significance of Namaskar can be best understood when significance of physical I is subdued!

Naraka: Located on Mother Earth ... The abode of those unfortunate ones who owing to ignorance committed sin after sin only to land themselves in the land of punishment.

You invoke the wrath of God if you commit unpardonable offenses. Mistreating women folk incurs the wrath of Mother Earth ... Your Cosmic Mother who gave you (an Atman) a body to manifest and cleanse self ... Yet you are
bent upon to outrage the modesty of a lady ... be she a Mother, sister or daughter.

A poor (poor not in Spiritual inheritance but in Karma) unable to manage bare means, beggar toiling in hard Sun morning to evening, the Life of an ant, animal or a beast ... Are these not symptoms of people living in naraka (hell).

Punya Karma earns you Punya and you get a birth bestowed with blessings from God. Paap Karma gets you into the dungeons of hell ... To choose is your sole prerogative!

Take control of Mind power ... Your gateway to absolute control over thought waves. No wrong thoughts ... Your Karma is perfect!

Nimitta: The physical after effect of Niyati (predestined Life) is Nimitta ... what was ordained is bound to happen. Changeover of Niyati in a Life-cycle by a Human Being is as difficult as climbing of Mt. Everest by an elephant. The Cosmic system is different from the World of Maya (illusion) ... our physical manifested World.

One can travel much faster than the speed of light ... the maximum speed one can attain is Infinity which is only possible to be traversed by an atman the soul within. A Human brain can invoke mental waves of the order of Infinity traveling back in time to the point of origin ... the occurrence of the big bang.

Every being bound by Karma of earlier births has a predestined course to follow in Life. What is Nimitta (predestined) for one need not be destined for another. One thing is certain. All things in the Cosmos follow an orderly fashion and nothing is disordered at any stage as stated by the famous physicist "Stephen Hawking" in his book "a brief history of time". Had the Cosmos being disordered at some stage then at some stage in Life now or earlier one would have witnessed mangos growing on a guava tree, a Lion Cub being born to a Hen and wheat buds sprouting from been stalk. Such was not to be. Can we ever imagine a day in the near future when Moon might collapse with earth or the Sun.

All ... everything contained in the Cosmic system is so systematically ordered that even micro-organisms which can only be viewed by most powerful microscopes live a set pattern of Life. Nothing can happen all of a sudden. The whole Cosmos, a mighty computerized network ... wherein all is planned to the lasted detail and without exception!

You pray ... you get direct results, sometimes with a delay! You inflict injury on others ... you develop guilt consciousness. You may escape the clutches of law, define your cunningness as an act of intelligence but what of your atman the soul within which has suffered a setback owing to your immoral deeds! Who shall suffer ultimately? Your atman the soul within would daily prick you from within resulting in stresses and tensions (maybe of unprecedented magnitudes) in your physical Life now or at a later stage.

Attend seminars, symposiums and Spiritual counseling centers who provide stress relief. Try to understand your Nimitta ... bear with it. Take it upon you as a way of Life you never can avoid. Only prepare and brace yourself again the same. Your Nimitta will give you dividends if you go along with it ... not against! People who fight their Nimitta die a poor man's death ... a Life full of misery, agony and sufferings.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the culmination of all practices that are Spiritual. The achievement of a goal where one meets the Creator of all Essence, comes face-to-face with his own atman the soul within which is of the same Essence as Brahman (the Creator of the cosmos).

You may be a Grihastha (a householder) or an ascetic practicing Meditation in the deep jungles ... all have equal rights to achieving the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi ... a stage when all becomes still after gaining absolute control over senses and mind, the two natural instincts present in every being since birth and causer of all that is ephemeral.

One gains Realization of God and the Self only after attaining the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. There is no looking back for you have reached the last leg of your Cosmic journey ... the cycle of manifestations having completed ... you have reached the pinnacle of Spiritual evolution ... become a superb Human Being free from the bondage of Karma forever.

No further Life after the death of present body one reaches the stage of Nirvana (Salvation). What an achievement for a humble Human Being to have crossed the threshold of Life and Death forever.

All Meditation practices around the Globe, all discourses, all Spiritual gatherings, various Spiritual symposiums and seminars have one common goal ... attainment of the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi and thereafter Self Realization.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi is no ritual. It is the perfect flowering of a Human Being. After attaining the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, one can disseminate the Cosmic wisdom to one and all. One becomes the authorized representative of Brahman (the Creator) on Earth (the Cosmic Mother of all beings living on planet Earth). Hearing one speak ... one can feel the taste of all that is absolute and pure. Truth and only truth is what you hear from such a learned one.

One aspiring to go higher on Spiritual planes must seek the company of such Saints who have achieved the level of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Words from such a one can soothe all your pains internal and external. The cool balm of the Eternal wisdom would promote one towards tendencies which are pure in nature, forgiving even those who have tormented one for ages.

Meeting the supreme Commander ... Brahman, the Creator of all Cosmos is not a mere concept but something beyond the comprehension of an average Human Being.

One be rich in Worldly Life yet poor in Spiritual achievements. Does such a one truly enjoys the material riches owned by him. No, For he secretly harbors the feeling that all the ill gotten wealth is the result of dishonest means one has engaged in. This is true in most cases. Engaging one self honestly can provide you just bare enough to maintain thy self.

One who gains Cosmic wisdom does not require to live further bodily ... you want to be with the preceptor forever. All whom you called your family, the house, the material riches have no value for you now ... all bondages broken forever one becomes free from the ram shackles of Life and Death.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the concept ... can only be visualized and experienced by those who achieve this stage. You have to reach the top of empire state building to view a larger spectrum of New York. Standing on ground level you can only view within the narrow confines of what your eyes can view at that level ... your aspiration and determination reach you nowhere unless you climb to the top.

Ask Neil Armstrong the value of living on Mother Earth while he was walking on moon, a distance of approx. 4,00,000 kilometers from planet Earth! Wherever the child may be, the love of Mother always longs for the welfare of her children.

In the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi one feels so nearer to God the Creator ... all else becomes secondary and loses meaning. Some may be willing to part with whatever they have ... All that for a darshan (glimpse) of God, the Almighty.

Niyati: What was predestined (fixed by Niyati) cannot be changed or interfered in even my God the Creator.

As per your balance Karmas if your predestined to be born in the house of a black Smith ... can one change your destiny and arrange your birth in the house of a King! None! Only you (your atman, the soul within) has the power to perform such Karmas in the present Life that you get to be born as a prince in next Life. Alternatively, having been born in the house of a black Smith, you may perform such Karmas (deeds in thoughts, words and action) that you get to marry a princess leading to your earning the title of a King, a prince or the Father of a prince.

To change the predestined Cosmic course of Life, one has to perform deeds above the ordinary and that too intelligently. Imbibed with such wisdom and thoughtfulness can one achieve any bracket of Life. Advancements in Cosmic Life are not limited. Never get bogged down by day-to-day incidents of Life. Human being, the highest manifestation an atman the soul within can achieve on Mother Earth, can never be dwarfed by any amount of insurmountable difficulties provided 1. One is a firm believer in god. Secondly, one has not superimposed his will on the will of god. One has to have the power of Lord Krishna by his side to win ... only then can one hope of controlling his destiny one-day.
