How to influence/affect people, situations, things?

There is a simple scientific way of performing this act of winning over anyone, any situation, anything. Look, the principle in which energy flows is from higher to lower level. So, if you have to win over someone, you are basically looking towards influencing them. As a spiritual seeker you know that when we say I, that is not this body, but we are talking in terms of consciousness (chetna, energy, prana). So, you are supposed to keep your energy level high. This is relative term, "high". means, your energy must be higher in level than the outer world in which you come in contact with so that it flows from YOU to the outer world, i.e. people, situations, things. Once it starts flowing from You to this world, it starts affecting, influencing everything that it comes in contact with, the way it wants. So simple. isn't it? Now, a question arises here, how to keep energy level high? Our life is so full of activities, that by the time we finish them all, we feel lack of ener

What is let go of past?

In Ancient Indian Scriptures, they say, all your thoughts come from the past. if you develop a skill not to give attention to the past, the mind will be free of thoughts. "Let go of past" means do not give much importance. The more importance you give it, the deeper impressions it makes and it will stay longer there to bother you. Just think of it as a dream. Dreams look so real while dreaming, that we don't realize it until we wake up. Similarly take past as a dream and wake up to this knowledge right this moment and get rid of those impressions.  Learn from the past and move forward. Don't hold on to it. Memory has a function to store impressions. so it is up to an individual what to store? You have got choice of storing what seems valuable to you. But, the wise man chooses to store life enhancing memories so that when he remembers them, his senses gets filled with joy and love and that exhilarating state where he feels lively... All non wanted impressions can ea

When you feel the path I have chosen, is it right?

When you start walking on a spiritual path, that too without knowing of it being a beginning of the path, you want to explore everything that comes on your way. Once you have got that wo...w feeling, you want to experience that again and again. and even you want to go beyond that. Just wow things are not enough for it, it wants to explore the path in all ways, in all directions, up to all extremes. After knowing it to be the spiritual path, to be the exploration of the ULTIMATE, whether Knowledge, Truth, Self or Creation...  you realize at one point, it does not meet up with your expectations of all being goody goody. You feel the path also has its so called drawbacks, or errors of your perception. and you feel, oh man, was it a wise decision to walk on this path? Your friends warn you initially up to the level. then looking to your enthusiasm about it, they don't dare much but still in their heart their don't support your activity. Sometimes even your family members don't

Aum - part 2 -the Anahat Naad...

Let us discuss about the Consciousness and how Aum is related to that.. There are 4 types of consciousness as per psychology. 1. Jagrat (Waking consciousness) 2. Svapna (Dreaming Consciousness) 3. Svapna rahit Nidra (Dreamless Sleep Consciousness) 4. Turya or Turiya (Transcendental consciousness) Now the association of letters A,U and M with these four consciousness is so surprising.... so have patience and read every word with utmost care, so as not to miss the essence. A - letter represents the Jagrat avastha. That is the consciousness which is present in three dimensional world, hence conditioned by time and space. Our conscious mind is predominating in this state. We mainly feel the mind is swaying of thoughts, impressions and desires. There are three qualities of consciousness, Tamas, Rajas and Sattva and out of these three, Rajas (which is heat and energy) is prevailing in this state. U - letter represents Svapna avastha. Here, subconscious mind is dominating. We see

Aum / Om ???

Let us share our knowledge about this most primitive MANTRA, Aum or Om. This is the most sacred symbol in Hinduism and according to Hindu / Vaidik Scriptures it represents the sound of the universe. As we know, the entire Existence in the Universe is vibrating with a Cosmic energy (We get the proof in the Gayatri Mantra, where Rishi Vishwamitra hears this sound for the first time in his deep meditations). The closest experience of this sound in ordinary experience would be the humming sound of an electric transformer. Yet this humming is produced by the atoms of the universe vibrating at different frequencies.  The vibrational atoms of the universe produce this sound through their pulsating “dance,” and that is why this sound is unstruck because is it not produced by striking two things together. Hence, the sanskrit name for the same sound is Anahaad / Anahat Naad.  Now another aspect of AUM gets represented by the three deities in the Hindu trinity, the trimurti (”three images”), of

something artistic from a Technocrate....

A little creation inspired by some intuitions.... Thanks to Nidhi's superb edition n addition, it turns out to be wonderful creation... Why to carry on with a burden of doing? When it's all Happening ! Does it mean I just sit idle? N don't even check out my true Credential? Something from "within" says, "NO"; Surrender cannot mean just Wait and Watch ! It simply means to be detached with the outcome of anything ! Simply being an important tool for each significant Happening :) So yes, check out your capability n take more responsibilities; enjoy the life light as feather amongst all complexities. Be at SERVICE, be in Knowledge n be one with the CREATION, Fulfil the purpose of life, n make life a real CELEBRATION...

Jab I met Guruji...

I went to see Him just because my teacher of my Art of Breathing course insisted that if you have not met him so far, just go and meet him. Luckily He was coming to Germany for His birthday celebrations. I was there on 13th May. First time I saw him, it was amongst crowd, could hardly see him. Within the next few minutes, He lead us through meditation. and then all Wo...w began.. OMG, What a phenomenal experience it is to be part of that relaxation. total nothingness  ... no clue about time, no clue about I being alive, no clue at all about my existence.. totally in the different space.. out of 3 dimensional, actually 4 dimensional world, yet totally into the whole CREATION...  Did not feel as if He was a physical entity. felt as if He was penetrating everywhere in every particle of my being, not leaving anything anywhere untouched by his Karishma... So Charished moments of my life. that was the first experience of His presence. Actually when I met him few hours later, personally

A beautiful story of Gopis n Krishna...

In Bhagwat Geeta, Krishna says different paths of Yoga. One of them is the path of devotion, Bhakti Yoga.  There is this beautiful story about the understanding of what is Bhakti Yoga..  Once Krishna left Gokul and Vrindavan, he never went back there. One day, Krishna was with his friend Uddhav. and  Uddhav said to Krishna that "O Krishna, you say wise words, you share so much of wisdom with us about various aspects of life, it makes our life more meaningful, more enjoyable. You have never gone back to Gokul and Vrindavan and therefore, all the Gopas and Gopis must be in pain of missing you so much. I believe they need this amazing knowledge of yours to handle their pain and sufferings."  Krishna on listening to this says " Oh dear Uddhav, you are such amazing friend of mine. Why don't you go there and impart this knowledge with them? I am sure that will help them reducing that intensity of the pain of separation."  Hence, Uddhav decided to go to Gok

What is that the entire existence is living for ?

A beautiful piece of knowledge from Rishi Nityapragya ji... We do many activities in the life. It can be worldly activities like earning money to getting married to having children to making a bigger house to buying a car or any such thing or it can be a spiritual activity like meditating, satsang, service or connecting to the divine. The basic purpose behind all these activities is to be happy, to get Sukha.  Sukha is a word in Sanskrit language. The nearest translation of that word can be done as pleasure, happiness, the pleasantness, the exhilarating status of consciousness, something which is the driving force behind all the activities of the entire existence.  There are three types of Sukhas. The first type of Sukha is the one gets from the outer world. Sometimes we seek pleasures through people, through situation, through things. But, there is a very basic flow since the pleasure is illusionary. It seems like Sukha but there is no Sukha at all. For example, till something was
