meditation.
i have always written or i should say , given hints on what meditation is . today am going to write on what it is not as there are so many so called gurus and meditation teacher out there who are misleading people .
it is not mantra and prayer reciting . it is not imagination , neither any sort of technic or therapies . it is not even concentration , nor even mind control .these can certainly be of some help but should be taught by living buddha , not by a representative of any religion .. a buddha is beyond all religion and communities .....
meditation is miracle that flowers in the mind as expansion of consciousness and flowers as supra sensual supra emotional love in the heart chakra ..... it is a miracle that is prepared for by living spontaneously, authentically but with full awareness and harmony with the laws of nature .
let intelligent people realize how many people fall in this category

halloween
it's strange how the sacred , and holy has degenerated so much ....halloween form the word holy and sacred .that which is whole is holy . our true nature that is pure consciousness is that holy state of life , and our being . through meditation one reconnects with life , nature and all life
halloween is related to all saints day , yet when you look a dress code and exhibition in places where they are celebrated , they are so weird spooky .
when religion degenerates human consciousness together with it human mind too degenerates and the result is actual society .

My message for Deepavali:

19/10/2025

Victory of Evil over Goodness!
This is how i see contemporary society. Unfortunately to cover up their ignorance and evil most people prefer the slogan'' victory of light over darkness" . Recently during the dushera i wrote , those who repeat this slogan parrot like should first look within their mind and heart, then cast a glance in our so called modern society .
Previously deepavali was closely associated with shree Ram and the ramayan , today it has become a cultural exhibition of light which cannot remove the inner darkness but only waste a great amount of energy especially in this time of energy crisis .
A few words on the Ramayan . Ram plus ayan means the birth of Godliness within, and this cannot happen until the fire of consciousness or meditation becomes aflame in the hearts of people ....and no amount of material lights can do this ....
every year the same old stories .....

Mental health day .
i know it was yesterday , but the problem is very old , or perhaps i should say it started with so called modernity .
from a spiritual perspective , the word mental health is a misnomer . in spirituality we say that mind itself is a disease . hegel said '' mind is a disease '' . if mind is a disease , and i confirm that it is , then mind itself should be eliminated . if people find it difficult to understand this language, then let us say that mind has to be totally transformed and attain its purest state.
that state is wholesome , pure , peaceful , blissful and free, fully alert and lively .such a state can be experienced by leading a life in full harmony with nature and above all by the practice of the science of meditation .however present society makes no provision for such an education , as whole society is a mind which is itself sick .
hope ?there is hope as we still have a few intelligent people who teach the way of meditation and spirituality .it is high time to adopt this science , bring it in all spheres of life; starting in schools colleges and universities .

Today many people are celebrating vijaya dashmi . Vijaya is for victory and dashmi for 10 days or 10th day . A question for all those who have fasted and practiced the rituals related to the Durga Pooja . Here you go:
"How many among you have been able to conquer your inner ravan or your inner mahisasur ?"
I have asked the question but not expecting for an answer because i know the answer in advance ...
Why 10th day or why we call this day vijaya dashmi ? Before explaining the mystical significance of this great festival, let me say, for almost everyone this festival is blind following. Some even do it as a cultural exhibition .
how can one have faith when belief is deep rooted in the mind, and without faith how can one conquer inner darkness ,ego, notion of i and all manner of conditionings ?
Tremendous amount of energy is required to do this . Thus, even Shree Ram, to set an example, worshipped the Supreme energy in the form of Mother Durga and thus was able to vanquish Ravan.
Now just imagine it took Shree Ram ten days to kill Ravan. He could have done so in an instant, then why ten days? Very symbolical indeed . The ten days symbolise the fact that if a spiritual person takes to spiritual discipline under the guidance of a Guru, and here Guru does not mean a person who represents any religion or perform any rites and rituals or discourses on the scriptures but rather an individual who has and is fully identified with the absolute . Such an individual can transcend his inner darkness symbolised by Ravan and Mahisasur. Here I have to empahsise that spiritual discipline does not mean mere repetition of God's name or any bookish prayers. It means to tread the fire of truth in daily life , facing one's weakness in the form of greed, anger, jealousy, lust , impatience , fear , arrogance, attachment, and so on .
In rare cases this can happen in ten days of deep meditation on oneself, but it's an absolutely rare case.
Please do not repeat like a parrot what others say '' victory of good over evil '' . If, however, you are tempted to do so, first look within yourself and then around in our society......

Durga pooja ; the worship of energy
life is both energy and consciousness .these manifest and light matter and all the elements and particles to become the whole cosmos with all it details . consciousness and energy is equal to intelligence and here it is a question of Supreme Intelligence that i am referring to .
whether u believe in god or not , but you fail to see `or realize that there is a supreme intelligence behind and in nature then i am afraid you are insensitive and spiritually speaking blind . the durga pooja is an invitation to worship energy as a style of living not by blindly following rites and rituals .while these have their importance , they do not bring any inner transformation . they can help only those who are already on the path to mental and emotional purification .making the right use of our emotional juice and mental energies and physical energy while living in harmony with the law of nature which the hindus called dharma is the real durga pooja or worship of energy .
enough for today more tomorrow on the spiritual aspect of this great religious festival .

Viswamitra: comparing the un comparable.
viswamitra was an ancient indian mystic . he had performed many great austerities, acquired many psychic and spiritual powers .ultimately he attained self/god realization .his attainment was such that gods were afraid that he would usurp their position . he had created a constellation .such an feat is beyond the capacity of even the gods.
viswamitra is one of the sapt rishi. sapt means seven and rishi means seers .they are the eternal forces ,or beings of light who accompany the lord during his innumerable incarnation on earth. such beings cannot be compared to even a god what to say of ordinary mortal .
viswamitra put to the service of bharat as ancient india was then known , the powers he had acquired through his austerities . let the people think whether we can compare an ordinary mortal to such a super power .
