great article.... the difference between religion and spirituality is well elucidated....

That's why I never say "Merry Christmas!" from my website to the visitors. There is always someone coming to correct something or write a rude comment (as in this case). There is no shortage of fools in this world. One shouldn't attract their attention by saying "Merry Christmas" from the website then.

In Islam mohammed is specifically NOT divine, he is human. Historically, Jesus never existed, so it doesn't make any sense to equate Jesus or Mohammed to avatars. Please refrain from such silly politeness, otherwise your blog is top notch!

Well. After going through a spiritual crisis and then thankfully an emergence. I came across Kundalini Yoga. Maya Fiennes. It was a revelation to begin with. But.... when your chakras are open and the kundalini is rising and you connect. Great ... but ... you still have to deal with your shit!! when open, the good suff comes, but also the painfull. So painfull, the pychosis is looking like a way out for me. So ... Kundalini can be wonderful, if you study it before hand and know about when to raise it, but also know when not to go there. For your own sanity. Will be having words with Maya Fiennes people to address this problem. With love from a joyful sufferer that witnessed the Divine, but still continues to suffer.

Thanks to the writer for enlightening me on "Karma" through the series of Articles 'Karma and the soul". The content and flow of the topic helps a layman to clearly understand and grasp this all-important concept.... Best wishes to the owner of this website for his/her yeoman service for propagation of the lessons taught in our Hindu scriptures! God Bless!Hari Om

The next incident I was to leave for a glasstech fair to germany in the year 2000. I always get the blessings from guruji before leaving. Guruji took the palm to read. It was the speeches of maharishi Ashwathama. Maharishi said that you will feel my presence with you and I will follow you as a shadow. You will feel it . This was what he said. I was blessed . I reached germany. I started to go to the fair. As I was not familiar and that was the first time to come to germany, I did not know how to catch the train. One old gentle man came near me and asked me do you require any help. I explained to him that I need to visit the fair. He asked me to gibe him 20 DUSHMARK ( Now the currency is EURO). I gave him and he took the ticket from the machine. He holded my hand. I was feeling hot inspite of the cold climate there whcih was freezing cold. The train was arriving . He took me to the exact coach and sent me in. I went inside and I forgot to thank him. I just turned back to thank him. I saw him passing through one pillar near the platform. I tried to wave my hand as soon he will cross the pillar , but he did not. He disappeared. I just felt that he was none other than maharishi. When I wen to the fair, As the fair had so many blocks to visit , I was confused which block I shall go first. Then I heard a voice in tamil saying go right, take block F. I turned around to check who was it. No one was backing me. I realised the speeches maharishi instructed to me. I followed the way guruji had told me , I reached the block , I could see the machines , I need to see and discuss. My discussion was completed and I need to reach back to the hotel as it was freezing cold. I was sick that night . I could not bear the cold. I just said Om Ashwathamaya Namaha. I kept on repeating the same as long as I could. I did not know when I started to sleep. The next day morning when I woke up. When I woke up, I felt nothing,. No cold, no fever, no headache. I was normal. When I came back to my home country, I and my father went to meet guruji. Guruji took the reading . The reading was given by maharishi . The first speech said, malai magane naan vunnudan iruppathai nee unnarthaya, which means did you feel and realise that I was with you. Maharaishi also said that when I was not doing well, He came near me and he was pressing my forehead arms and legs when I was suffering from pain. After reading this, guruji father and I was filled with tears. I could not control. I started crying for a long time. Guruji then said to me that it is a great gift that you reached maharaishi ashwathama's heart so soon. You have touched him byyour love to him. From that day, Guruji was very close to me. I was the dearest to him . Only I could touch him , then it was Mr. Ravi who could touch him. I was very close to guruji, but many other disiples were very cunning that , How I could reach guru very close. See, it is just the real true affection and love which is required . Not money and wealth. These are required only for human survival. There are so many experience with guruji and maharishi to explain, but it will not be enough to complete as it is never ending . I just like to say one thing to all. Those who really like to be the diciple of guruji and maharishi ashwathama, it is only one simple thing you need to do. Just love him heartfully from the heart. Need to give your true love . Then you will feel his presence one day. I want every one to get his blessings and prosper in life OM SRI ASHWTHAMAYA NAMAHAOM SRI PARAMA GURUJI NAMAHA

OM SRI ASHWTHAMAYA NAMAHAThis is SRINIVASAN,( Sweetly called as cheenu by Guruji). My father’s name is Mr. G.Devarajan, one of the oldest deciple of guruji and maharishi Lord Ashwathama. My father had the greatest experience with guruji as he was the oldest disicple since 1966. Both guruji and my father had enjoyed a vast experience about lord ashwathama. It was as per instructions from Lord Ashwathama maharishi, it was said by guruji that We need to make a picture in glass . As per instructions , father designed the picture of maharishi ashwathama in 24 carat gold plating which is still in gurujis house. From the day it was framed, guruji used to do his daily poojas to maharishi to the picture. Every year , on the birth day of maharishi ashwathama, the vibuth used to come from the chest of maharishi picture. It was a miracle which happened. The vibuth has its own smell and fragrance typically maharishi gift for us. I was introduced by my father in the year 1997 to guruji. It was a friday. I sat near guruji, touched his feet to hear the reading to be given from him . Guruji said that godess lakshmi is going to speak today. I felt that I was blessed from that day. The reading started. The first spell was " MALAI MAGANE , NAAN UNNAI EN MADIYIL VAITHU PESUGIREN". I explain now the meaning. MALAI MAGAN means the son of mountain, As my name was sreenivasan, she used to call me malaimagan. Godees lakshmi said that she is speaking to me by keeping me on her lap. Tear were flowing out of my eyes and I started crying , I could not control my self. Then guruji consoled me and the reading began. Godess Lakshmi gave her speech stating how I should be and how maharishi will help me in reaching my goal which was set by her . From that day, I and our family was blessed by maharishi and mahalakshmi. There are so many incidents where I could feel about maharishi and felt about him. I will share a few incidents with you. The following is the next incident .

Geometry, yes! To draw all those triangles inside the Śrīyantra one needs to know the right method first, or his attempts will lead him to frustration only.

"Those who have seen/experienced won't say anything." Should it be true, no person other than the first one who realized Brahma would've attained Brahma. Words look nice and profound, but they are not consistent with the facts. As there were and there are more people realizing Brahma, they had to get the adequate knowledge somewhere, obviously. Therefore, at least one of those who realized Brahma had to say something about It.

Those who have not seen/experienced Brahman have much to say. Those who have seen/experienced won't say anything. There is no need for analysis/ review/ cerebral or intellectual breakdown of concepts since the ego identification with the Self disappears upon experience with Brahman.
