East and West: Brahman, Spirit, Nature, OM, and Universe as Adam and Eve: Words Need Attention

Image via Wikipedia
































There two words that confuse most of the people in the west. Many who assume to be very modern people in east also find these words as confusing the Hinduism and the Brahman. The associated words include Brahman and Nature. These has nothing to do with religion as such. The reason for it is that these are discussed in the Six Schools of Indian Philosophy not in the religions as they are.

These Six Schools differ a lot but are part of the Grand Indian Civilization. All students who follow it are known by various names. In general, Brahman as Philosopher or the Thinker, the Knowing person about the Spirit, Nature and Universe in these schools received great respect knowing Philosophy of the Six School. And, thus it seems a Brahmnical religion. Its not the case, many schools developed with various names like Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism and many others that follow the Schools without claiming to be Hindus by religion.

Even the word OM is sound energy that is understanding the Quantum Physics and the Creation of the Universe. The Philosopher or Thinker of Indian Schools as the Brahman knows and understands it.

All religions follow philosophy, the spiritual or metaphysical part that we know as Philosophy of Religion.

This religious part is known as Samparda, say as if the name of the Religious University in which one is known more by religion than school of philosophy.

The Brahman is word for what Universe Produces as the Brahma, the Spirit in the Universe. The general term for Brahman is the one, who understands natural laws and principles of nature, spirit and universe. Now, nature is dealing with it similarly as Eve is from the Adam. The Adam means the Seed that sprouts as if after separating from the Spirit, the Brahma or Brahman in general. Both are used as synonymous many times. The Seed of the Universe creates the Nature.

So, the nature is usually addressed as Womb, the Eve. This respect for Eve makes people call Mother Nature. There is no other great significance as the main thing is the Seed. Female carries sperm in her blood which is from the father. Its not thus just matter of Ribs of Adam. She cannot give sperm other than present in her blood and that is of her father.

However, the Male while also having father's sperm in the blood gives the sperms of his own. This very simple biological term is referred as Eve from Adam due to Sperm that we also know as the Purusha in India.

Few words about how woman can produce child without man:

"In the second method, the need of a male is not absolutely essential. A human being can be created by only a female. That is why it is sometimes called asexual method. Every cell has a nucleus that contains the genes. The composition of genes decides the look of a person, the colour of hair, height and so on.

In this method, the egg cell is taken out of the womb and placed in a dish; its nucleus is removed and discarded. The nucleus of a normal cell taken from anywhere else in the body, say leg or arm, either of the same person or anyone else is placed in the egg cell. This egg cell is then placed in the womb of either the same female or any other female and develops into a baby. It will look exactly like the person whose nucleus is implanted into the empty egg cell. It will have nothing in common with the so-called mother.

It is possible to use egg cell from any female animal, say a cow, to clone a man by placing the nucleus of a human’s cell inside the emptied egg and then implant it into the womb of any woman. The resultant clone will look like the donor of the nucleus." (With thanks from the source: http://www.oocities.org/jkrworld/Cl.htm)

Thus, this Purusha has name Brahman or synonymous Brahma, the main Seed Giver and thus Lord Krishna calls himself as Seed.

The Seed has tree in it, so the Indian Philosophy projects human as an inverted tree having roots in the head or sky, and branches, the body as trunk with arms and legs.

We may not argue on things that have biological evidences.

How Hinduism is Universal: Facbook Chat Gave 55 Points that Reveal the Spiritual Insight into Indian Religions and Faiths

Image via Wikipedia













How Hinduism is Universal: Facbook Chat Gave 55 Points that reveal the spiritual insight into Indian religions and faiths that many people around the world learn to understand and or practice. These 55 points as follows:

1. Namaste means salute to visible form of Invisible (Soul)

2. OM is Invisible form and thus the Main Tat is Truth and it Exits is Sat.

3. We have 5 Tatva but Main Tatva is Invisible that we know as OM. Thanks!
OM is both Main Tatava and Shakti together.

4. What creates these 5 Tatva or Forms is Brahm (God) and thus the Unchangeable Form in it remains as it is.

5. Hari means that takes away all sorrows hidden in 3 Gunas and OM means that in whatever way He needs to do is in OM, yes in its sound, vibrations and waves as it is both sound and particle that light gives.

6. For our young generation there is so much knowledge fed and thus most of them seem to be fed up.

7. So, the knowledgeable need to wait and practice it more because by knowing nothing really happens in our real or practical life..

8. The Sanatan is never influenced or affected. We lack classical arts, music and all that is Sanatan in our daily life and practice it. Even if science proves all of it 100% right and perfect the practice is still the objective.

9. What we lack is Karma+Yoga.

10. We do only Yoga and seem to claim it Karma.

11. When God helps even a child like Dhruva and Prahlad, why do we refrain from daily practice of Nitya Karma.

12. The self-experience, wisdom and true self-understanding comes mainly from Grace not by efforts.

13. Just living in the company of practically wise people gives it all that we need as if the Parshad, the blessings

14. Past life: Past life helps to create the circumstances and if we avail goodness as our learning.

15. The main objective that individually we all need to cultivate is that God does not His part, the Leela and we simply learn not to imitate Him, but follow what we are taught.

16. If we imitate Lord Krishna it is not good, all great ones wish to please him as his Gopis. This Gopi is not just a kind of boy or girl.

17. Mira Ji once said to someone that it was great to see man other than Krishna in Mathura. He rushed to feel sorry as he said he as a man did not wan to see woman when she requested him to meet.

18. In the Gopi devotion, It has nothing to do with physical body as said before.

19. God is Spirit.

20. In devotion we want to feel the devotional feelings so avoid knowledge alone. The knowledge cannot give feelings and the feelings do not need words.

21. Like Lord Krishna says that he dwells in Jaap, In Saam Veda (Source of Music), Jaap is also form of Yoga.

22. When Dropadi asked why Lord Krishna said she was too confident so could not see the Vastar Avtara.

23. When we meditate we are and dwell in the invisible form.

24. However living in this state more than advised harms, it harms health.

25. Human body is form Karma.

26. Mind is for Yoga and thus Body+Mind=Karma+Yoga.

27. When Rishis asked Lord Krishna, he started to cry. He said the learned people would be most insulted and ignored in Kaliyuga. So, we go through phases and now some changes occur that give some worth and status to learned people, so more patience and thus practice is needed rather than suffering. What is the best Saloka in Holy Gita. Rishis told many. When they asked Lord Krishna said it is by Kunti Ji as when she asks for suffering so that she may remember God to rescue her and thus us.

28. We practice to realize what we say is within. When we meditate God also meditates on us.

29. When asked: Whom do you remember Lord Krishna? All those, who remember me. What else do we need!

30. We do not seem to share stories of great people with children and thus what they learn is not something that they can ever forget.

31. This the 30th point is called Sanskara, the way to see and deal the visible and invisible world. The invisible world is inside and the other outside.

32. Inside is Yoga and Outside Karma. We simply need to make it one. What we enjoy as Gopi and Outside all as God is what we also know as Bhakti.
Enjoy Inside.

33. This form of Bhakti (Devotion) is same as Gyana (Knowledge and Wisdom, the Divine Knowledge).

34. German and Europeans used Indian Wisdom, but in many cases wrongly as Hitler created superman theory using Vedas.

35. Vedas teach to be open learner a wise person.

36. The people in the south have vast knowledge about it and they share their books and works in the west but again due to in depth knowledge.

37. We need to allow Bharat Mata to help us by firstly doing ahvahana (inviting the teachings and thus spiritual presence) of great souls. If we do it on our own it will create problems rather than solving. We pray that God shows us the path.

38. Otherwise intellect and knowledge alone are harmful.

39. Thus, the first thing is to respect, honor and worship Indian prophets, gurus, sages, saints, rishis, munis and other noble and great ones.

40. They make and create way as they are doing all that is must. Even Lord Rama and other great ones did it first. They Rishis and Munis did it too giving us all of the Vedic knowledge and wisdom. We do not own it.

41. This is what we need to share.

42. We do not own Indian Knowledge and Wisdom; Nature or Universe owns it.

43. If we do this part of learning, the knowledge spreads without great efforts. Otherwise, lots of hard work as the Pandavs lived in the exile in the Jungles for 12 years until they found the Brahmin.

44. What we are discussing is Divine Wisdom.

45. It cannot be shared without reaching to the level of Divine Student that means becoming receiver not giver.

46. When we practice we teach, when we teach we do not practice. Please do not take my words as rude.

47. If this knowledge is given to those, who do not respect, one takes blame and burden of all the insult that thus occurs.

48. God always helps in a way that pleases Him not always the way we want and thus what is the best for us and it remains a surprise, is not it.

49. One thing is that all world religions, faiths and knowledge and wisdom is same and Hindus discovered it firstly.

50. It was because Indian people happen to be contented and want to do something for nature. Thus, it is not for business but service.

51.Upanishad's tell and explain about all branches of knowledge.

52. We as the Indian People do not even seem to know names of 4 Vedas.

53. A foolish never wants to be corrected and gets angry if one tries to do so.

54. Now, one way or the other we all are foolish, a wise knows how foolish he or she is. This is the difference between foolish and wise, if I know I am foolish I may learn to be wise. If I assume I am wise, stagnation can make me dumb, deaf and blind, not physically but mentally.

55. Wisdom is common sense that we also know as Sixth Sense.

Thanks for your time reading 55 points from Chat on Facebook in which I was blessed enough to give it as answers to a spiritual person wishing to discuss it about two days ago.

How Self, Society, Nature and Soul Work Together - Human, Possessions, Life, Service and Duty

Image by brewbooks via Flickr









We have 3 most popular terms used in Indian Philosophy and Religions and particularly the Metaphysics. These terms are:


1. Aadhibhotic

2. Aadhidavic

3. Aaddhiatamic 

1. Aadhibhotic means related to body and all that we possess as a human.

2. The Aadhidavic relates to what runs life as we know it the Devta's, the life givers.

3. The Aaddhiatamic relates what we are, the souls, and thus relates to our conscience and consciousness as well. Now, the body, nature and soul work in a very simple way. We know about the physical world and what we should do in it in context to body and thus social.

However, what makes us know it is the soul (through conscience and all other tools like intellect and emotions). Now, when we consider nature we learn how to deal with Society, Nature and God (in whatever form we worship).

At the physical level (aadhibhotic) society is just buildings and possessions.

At natural level, there is also presence of living ones in the society. The point of spirituality comes from practice of what nature teaches us religion or Dharma. Nature follows the Dharma without any discrimination. Thus, nature and soul together learn spirituality, nature and society practice religion as if socializing with natural world in the nature that includes us, we, the humans.

Thus, religion goes as natural socialization but spiritualism is personal socialization with nature (for theory) and society (for practice). If we serve nature, we receive help in return. However, when we serve soul, the self or conscience, we have nothing to exchange as it is our real self that does not lack anything but in return makes us intellectually and emotionally mature and thus socially strong, mature and thus self-dependent.

This self-dependency is not being able to earn to live.

The conscience is a dynamic thing and thus spirituality is also dynamic that helps us for personal, family, social, national and international development without interfering with the nature. So, the natural laws and principles are for socialization and these can be accepted at intellectual level if we hear what our conscience says not what books say otherwise we may only know and remember (memorizing) without practicing it.

In conclusion, managing family and possessions begins our religions and faiths and how we contribute to society becomes Service (Seva).

The quality and standard that service at home and in society needs that we practice spiritualism as Know Thyself to understand ourselves and thus others. It helps to bring the concept of duty into service. Now, the service is the easiest way to socialize but in spiritual socialization one have to go beyond just serving others. Lord Krishna asks Arjuna to leave all religions, the socialization and so many restrictions it imposes on an individual, group, community and people in general that prevents one to do what one ought to do for all.

It services only motives and interests of some people, who belong to receiving that service due to religious together without even deserving it and thus misuse of laws of any state or nation in modern context. How hard it is to leave the social bonds and do our duty is beyond religions but is spiritual in nature, something that nature wants from us but not the society.

As nowadays society that seem to ignore nature, natural world and its right may prevent anyone doing one's duty.

All of it needed Lord Krishna to give Sermon of Holy Gita and thus is the duty and spirit or spiritualism not just religions and faiths. However, without practicing one's own religion and faith it is difficult to understand and practice what we know as duty, the Kartvya, essence of all services and thus the excellence and quality of service.


We may not simply claim to be public servant.

The democracy that we have had during the ancient times and even few hundreds years had religion and politics working together as the Indian Kings and Queens had been. They made rules according to the religions of the state in which they lived and they followed by themselves.

Lord Rama used Dharma or religion for democracy, but it may seem that he was King and thus not democrat. All of the decisions were taken on behalf of public and the ministers were selected according to standards established in the society. The democary in it was also that there were many states with many kings.

Similarly, Lord Krishna gave Kingdom of India to Yudhishtra and himself remained under his ruling as he served as King of Mathura. There are many examples when kingship was given to many who were not family members.

In nutshell, the Panchayat Raj is the most ancient concept of democracy that India gave to human civilization as only the selected people work in it. The public have always selected the people. It has similarity with home based business that has been present in India in all ages and thus throughout the history. The children were given education and training to be what their parents were and if one excelled one could be either minister or a king and or queen.

Initially most of the Kings and Queens had small regions (state levels) and then attained training, education and skills to be at national levels. This was also democratic way. We are taught that only the mighty was the King and that is not true as one had to prove all that needs to be a king or queen. What about Akbar (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar)and Laxmi Bai (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_Lakshmibai)

We are not discussing the Invaders or others, who used forces. We need to learn even about not just Akbar, the great but also Sher Shah Suri (with thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sher_Shah_Suri) to understand how Indian always have made a difference in service and duty.

The process of knowing others is not just by knowledge and data information about anyone, but as equating our personal knowledge about our self as parameter to know others. By knowing others we may not know our-self, but by knowing our-self we can know all.

Thanks for your time to read it.
