Consciousness is independent element!

 For Hindus, metaphysics moved all around Consciousness, whether it was Samkhya or Vedanta, the soul is all independent and eternal substance. The soul is the center of every philosophy of Vedic structured metaphysics. Without consciousness, there is philosophical acumen or knowledge advanced in this enriched soil of thinking.

 For Samkhya, purusa is a true Consciousness, independent and eternal. For Shanker, atman is Brahman and the only reality. Even for Nyaya and Vaishihka soul or consciousness is the independent element. Almost all orthodox schools talked about the consciousness though Charvaka do not accept the traditional definition of consciousness as of soul but Charvaka too maintain that consciousness is a byproduct of body and therefore consciousness exist

 But the Consciousness or soul is not like the concept of what at present Hindu religion takes for granted.  Soul is not what turn to ghost or roaming uselessly and troubling people. Consciousness is an element as like of another element. For Vedic philosophers, consciousness is as true and as eternal as the air, water or earth and therefore it exists.

  According to traditional Vedic philosophy, there is no heaven or hell for souls in Hindu philosophy and also there is no judgment day for souls resting with dead bodies and waiting for their turn. The present concept of soul in Hindus is not an original definition of soul as described in Vedas or in philosophies.

For Hindus, soul is an element, independent and eternal as like of element like hydrogen or oxygen.  The consciousness is an energy and this energy is present in the universe not in the shape of roaming souls but in the form of energy and therefore at present the science is looking for the dark energy and trying to understand it.

‘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 ?

Image
   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...
