Death is not permanent and so the birth

 

“To a Hindu the idea that the souls of men migrated after death into new bodies of living beings, o f animals, nay, even of plants, is so well self evident that it was hardly ever question. We never meet with any attempt of proving or disproving it among the prominent writers of ancient and modern times” found German Scholar Seelen Wanderung.

 

“Then, man was born with the power of thought, the knowledge of good and evil, and the cruel thirst for worship. And man saw that all is passing in this mad, monstrous world that all is struggling to snatch, at any cost, a few briefed moments of life before death’s inexorable decree” Dr. Faustus,

“The self is hidden in all beings and does not shine forth, but it is seen by subtle seers through their sharp and subtle intellect. A wise man should keep them within self which is knowledge. He should keep knowledge within the self which is great and he should keep this greatness within the self which is the quiet. Rise, awake! Having obtained your boons understand them, the sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over, difficult is the path to the self, the wise tell it” Yama, the god of death, addressing Nachiketa, a young boy in, Katha Upnisad. The philosophy started in India with the only key word of

 

“There was then neither what is nor what not (truth) is. There was neither sky nor the heaven which is beyond what covered? Where was it, and in whose shelter? Was the water the deep abyss in which it lay? There was no death hence was there nothing immortal. There was no light and even distinction between day and night. That one breathed by itself without breath, other than it there has been nothing. Darkness there was, in the beginning all this was a sea, without light, the germ that lay covered by the husk, that one was born by the power of heat (Tapas). Love overcomes it in the beginning which was the seed springing from mind; poets having searched in their heart and found by wisdom the bond of what is in what is not. Their ray which was stretch across was it below or was it above?

There were seeds, because there was power, self power below and will above, who then knows, who has declared it here, from whence was born this creation, the gods came latter than this creation who then know whence it arose. He from whom the creation arose whether he made it or didn’t make it the highest seer in the highest heaven, he for sooth knows or does even he not know,” Nasadiya Hymans RVx 81 2 to 4.

 

“The eyes of the beloved are white, red and dark and are full of nectar, intoxication and poison, with the result that once they pierce the heart of the lover, he experiences the joy of life, the agony of restlessness and the inertia of death. The recollection of the beloved hives him joy and make life worth living, separation causes acute pain and makes him restless and intensity of love makes him forget everything and become inaction, unconscious and almost dead” Raas, a Hindu poet

 

The Nasadiya Hymn again asked and put questions on the concept which was established by the seers about gods, “There was then neither what is nor what not (truth) is. There was neither sky nor the heaven which is beyond what covered? Where was it, and in whose shelter? Was the water the deep abyss in which it lay? There was no death hence was there nothing immortal. There was no light and even distinction between day and night. That one breathed by itself without breath, other than it there has been nothing. Darkness there was, in the beginning all this was a sea, without light, the germ that lay covered by the husk, that one was born by the power of heat (Tapas). Love overcomes it in the beginning which was the seed springing from mind; poets having searched in their heart and found by wisdom the bond of what is in what is not. Their ray which was stretch across was it below or was it above? There were seeds, because there was power, self power below and will above, who then knows, who has declared it here, from whence was born this creation, the gods came latter than this creation who then know whence it arose. He from whom the creation arose whether he made it or didn’t make it the highest seer in the highest heaven, he for sooth knows or does even he not know,” Nasadiya

Hymans RVx 81 2 to 4.

‘We suffer every day and every time for unreality ‘

  About 2 thousand and 5 hundred years ago, Gautam Buddha discovered the Concept of suffering, cause of suffering and the golden rule to cease the suffering. For Buddhist, suffering is manifests within the conscious. Gautam Buddha after dwelling so many years found the concept of suffering in society and developed the methods to cease that suffering in lifetime. But still, after 2 thousand and 5 hundred years, the suffering prevails and people are suffering. They are not suffering but have reason or cause for suffering and they do not know how to cease this suffering. Mind it, suffering is different from pain or anguish. Present, theories suggest that suffering is the part of life and without suffering people have no life left. Suffering is there because people want to suffer. They want suffering to understand the existence of their own in their own sphere. Suffering therefore prevails as much true as the life prevails on the earth. Hindu philosophy, emphasized mostly on the ...

What is Hindu Tantrism ?

   They believe only in the power of nature and liberation is to overpower the rules of nature. They do not feel cold even in snowfall or hunger even after keeping fasts for long-long months. This class is fascinated by the nature of Lord Shiva who is known as a destroyer of the world in the system of Hindu religion. But scholars point out that this sect is not associated with any Hindu philosophy,   “ Tantrism is neither Buddhist nor Hindu in origin. It seems to be a religious undercurrent originally independent of any abstruse metaphysical speculation, flowing on from an obscure point of time in the religious history of India, ” Dasgupta in Obscure religious cult page 27.   He further added, “ Side by side with the commonly known theological speculations and religious practices, there has been flowing in India asimportant undercurrent of esoteric yogic practices from a pretty old time. These esoteric practices, when associated with the theological speculations of t...

Good or bad, voice calls you within

  “It is the inner voice that guide me for my action,” said a 7-year-old girl Sara to her friend softly but confidently. She looks all around and continued, “My mother said that we all have good and bad voices inside us and within us and therefore I daily offer prayer that my good voice should speak loud.” This is not the new thing to talk and not even children discuss such things but even grown-up talk about such moral and evil design inside us. The story of good and bad voices is a story of generations and it went like this even for generations. Whenever there is a debate on morality, the story of good and bad voices emerged in one or in other way. The theory of good and bad voices, say, that every human I shaving two powers within and these two powers are good and bad and these powers always and mostly on every issue suggest or guide to do things accordingly, and, we are the judge who decide which power is better. It is we, who decide to hear the voices of good one or bad on...
