"Spirituality" ???

By

In our times "spirituality" has become a fad. This aint surprising one bit simply because such is the pace of life that one doesn't even finds the time to "live life". Infact, life for most has reduced to weekends.  So in such a scenario a new business opportunity has presented itself and that is the " inner peace" business which involves various spiritual upliftment courses that bring your mind and body to perfect health and lots of other "benefits" (essentially a one stop solution to every problem that you have) And because there is demand for such "products" so the supply too is available in abundance.

Spirituality has always been the mainstay of our country. So many great beings (Kabir, Sri Raman Maharishi, Sri Ramakrishna... the list is endless!) have shown us what spirituality actually means, but did any of them put a fee to their teachings or did any of them ever had courses-beginners, advanced...?!!! Its time we put to ourselves the real question... if by spending  money one could buy  "spiritual upliftment" or peace or sound health.... then the millionaires and billionaires existing on this very planet would have got it before anyone else! 

True spirituality is beyond what money can ever buy but for that you need to find a being (GURU) who is not running a business in the garb of spirituality rather s/he is giving (what he has) selflessly (just like the masters i mentioned above) and for that you dont have to go to some remote corner of the world... such beings still exist.... amongst us only.... Its just that what you seek is what you get!

"If you want to go and buy something from market you will get only a shopkeeper not a saint. Untill you search for your Guru with a feeling of surrender (samarpan bhaav) you will not find your Guru."
-Yogi Ashwini

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

By
"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st

Gyan Vs Knowledge

By
"There is a huge difference between knowledge and gyan . Let me give an example. When I was appearing for my class 10 exams, I found that as it is I am bad in maths apart from that I was weak in Geography as well and in our school whoever used to fail in two subjects used to fail in that class. So I still remember that I memorised the whole book, chapter-wise and in the exam for each question I wrote the entire chapter. So ultimately the examiner must have thought that I have written so much (even though irrelevant) that he gave me passing marks- exactly 33 %. So, you may know entire chapters on Yoga but the  gyan  will still not be there. When you do yog or  dhyan ,  gyan  comes to you constantly. As you progress  Gyan  comes to you step by step. When you receive  gyan  you take one step, then you receive more gyan and move to the next step and so on and so forth. This progress is not dependent on time. Gyan will come to you only when you are connected to your Guru; without thi
