ONLY THE CREATOR HAS HIGH SENSE OF HUMOR - In-ternal to Ex-ternal



ONLY THE CREATOR HAS HIGH SENSE OF HUMOR  
His world drama is the biggest comic play ever scripted. Unfortunately it is not directed by HIM. It is directed by TIME & KARMA - go figure.
Lucky is the man who can laugh on himself, for he shall never cease to be amused. 
ACCEPTANCE IS THE KEY - not only about local issues but global ones too.  
Get comfortable with yourself and your opinions about life. Everyone has opinions about life & in many cases, opinions can be humorous to other people. People who are naturally humorous are typically willing to find humor in both themselves and their opinions. If you are too uptight or self-conscious, it will be difficult to find humor in such things. Good-humored individuals embrace their flaws and laugh them off & let them go in a healthy way. Self-acceptance is the key to a happier life. It takes a lot of mental energy to come up with quick-witted quips that keep grins on others' faces. Those who have a good sense of humor tend to be more creative.
Devotees swear by the holy scriptures, fabricated from centuries of old memory, handed down by word of mouth that, God Krishna spoke the GITA to Arjuna. But the TRUTH is otherwise. God Shiva speaks Bhagwad GITA, now in this Confluence age to His Brahmin Students - Brahma Kumaris, which is reminisced, in the copper age of scripture writing.   

A good sense of humor responds to the flow of conversation in ways that are creative & entertaining. A good sense of humor means you can see things from different sides, angles, & in different ways.  There's a strong connection between humor and creativity.  Basically, everyone likes a good laugh. Having a sense of humor will help you breeze through the toughest periods of your life. It is desirable & attractive, because just like optimism, not everyone has it, but everyone desires it.


PREFERRED ATTRIBUTES IN A SPOUSE

The most preferred Divine Virtues of the Golden Aged Spouse are Purity, Truth, Patience, Humility & Sweetness. These five strands spin tightly into one rope of Love. Evaluate the above Love with sense of humor.  

Sense of humor is the most important human quality. A positive outlook & a sense of humor are the top attributes cited by people who are looking for a spouse / mate. 

Moreover, having a good sense of humor helps you to stay healthy emotionally, first & physically automatically. Humor helps you to release stress & to keep an optimistic attitude. When you feel anxious or sad, a good laughter can lighten your mood. 

Life is better when you are laughing. No one knows that more than good-humored individuals. Those who have a good sense of humor not only see the value in making others laugh, but they prioritize laughter themselves. As a result, they're healthier and happier for it. Smiling instantly boosts your moods. Laughing can soothe tensions & melt stress. That light-hearted attitude does help you live longer. Bring it on, birthdays.

I am a supreme soul, am bodiless but you are bodily beings.
You are now coming out of the limited and going into the unlimited.
It is the poor who have to become wealthy. 
Only a handful of you have faith, all others have doubts.
Only you long lost & now found children go around the full cycle of 84 births

WIT IS TOTAL ALERTNESS & CREATIVE THINKING
Wit is a form of intelligent humor, the ability to say  things that are clever & funny. A Witty person is skilled at making such remarks. Varieties of wit include the quip, repartee, pun & wisecrack. Wit involves a very quick mental sharpness, being able to see a situation in a unique way & instinctively  respond with a relevant comment or come back. Puns jump from one context to another by using different meanings of a single word. 

Fruit flies like bananas.
Time flies like an arrow.


LAUGHTER TRULY IS THE BEST MEDICINE - EXTERNAL MATTER  
Humor always involves amusement outwardly manifested by a smile, chuckle or laughter. But what are all those chuckles actually doing for your body? People who have a good sense of humor use it to their advantage. Those giggles stimulate the organs, improve the immune system & well being.
It takes merely 4 Risorius muscles to SMILE & 44 Zygomaticus muscles to FROWN. A full blown laughter uses 317 muscles in the body. Medically speaking Laughter is the noise you produce with partially closed vocal chords. 

For many of us, laughter is a perfectly normal part of human existence: it helps us build relationships, generates good brain chemicals, like endorphins & releases pent-up tension. It can even improve your cardiovascular function.
A good long session of laughter among-st friends & best buddies results in weakening of the body muscles & flooding of the blood with endorphins resulting in a high mental state of  Euphoria. This is the reason why teenage girls can not stop giggling over trifles, when they are together.

Start by loosening up! Remember that laughter is contagious, so if you carry yourself in an open & humorous way people will be ready to laugh.  Because we humans are wired to instinctively respond like for like, facial expressions are contagious. When taken, the homily’s implied advice to put on a happy face does work to benefit society in that smiling people cause those around them to smile.
But unfortunately for unlucky many, it's no laughing matter at all. Yet smiling is not just good for the community in which the sad sack or grouch lives; it is also beneficial to the person doing the grinning. Facial expressions do not merely signal what one feels but actually contribute to that feeling. If we smile even when we don’t feel like it, our mood will elevate despite ourselves. Likewise, faking a frown brings on a sense of not much liking the world that day.

HAPPINESS IS SILENT & INTERNAL MATTER.

Devotees blindly believe that Almighty God is OMNIPRESENT. However the Truth is otherwise. Shiva the Supreme Soul, has now given us HIS own Introduction that HE is a ball of effulgent light energy, Eternal, residing in the Soul world. Obviously we His children share the same DNA of light energy, simple souls.

March 20 th is the International Day of Happiness. A day to celebrate the importance of happiness in our lives & the world. As we celebrate International Day of Happiness every year, it's fascinating to consider the way our brain is able to detect genuine happiness in other people. Our brains are very sensitive to the social & emotional responses.
We can always tell people who are truly happy just from their laugh. The brain responds differently to fake & real laughter. People demonstrate different neurological responses when they hear false laughter. Therefore stop faking, because it does not help you in any way. When was the last time you had a true, honest to goodness laughing jag? The kind where your mouth and stomach hurt from the amazing pain of hilarity, even if you can't quite remember what started it in the first place? Well, it might be time to get back to that place & time.

BEING FUNNY IS COMIC - A PROFESSION

Being funny means being able to express humor of one kind or another, maybe a pratfall, a witty pun, or a good joke of course, well-timed. Having a sense of comedy means being able to laugh at, or see the humor in life's absurdities. Trying to be funny is usually seen as practical. physical, bitter, sarcastic & nasty.

Make jokes / gags at your own expense. Audiences appreciate when you make yourself the target of comedy. It will help them open-up and they will find it easier to laugh at both you & themselves.

Anecdotal comedy belong to funny personal stories that may or may not be embellished. Hyperbolic comedy is characterized by massive exaggeration. Ironic comedy is when the meaning of the joke is the opposite of the actual meaning. Professional comedians say timing is everything & key to comic delivery. Stories / jokes are made more funny when the teller pauses right before the punchline to build up drama & anticipation. You can also wait to laugh until a couple seconds after the punchline, that way people can never be sure if you are joking or not. Always give your audience time to laugh before moving on to a different topic.

By sitting on the pyre of Knowledge, you will become real gold & pure.

All the souls are Shiva Baba’s children but not

all children are his helpers.

Through your self-transformation, world 

transformation will become easy.

Die alive and be dead to this old world.

If you see what I see, it will take your breath

away.  Incidentally you only SEE IT when your 

breath is taken away 

JOKES MAKE UP CONVERSATION

The punch line to every joke involves a jump from one context, which the listener has been led to assume, to a different, but valid context. Jokes use a context jump to change an apparent negative to a positive.  These are especially valuable in conversation.  Arnold Palmer and Stevie Wonder meet and Arnold is amazed to find that Stevie, although blind, plays golf.  They talk about how Stevie's caddy helps him set up, aim, & swing the club accurately.  Arnold expresses great admiration, then, surprisingly, Stevie challenges Arnold to play a round - for $1,000 a hole.  Arnold is half insulted and manages to reply, You're on, when do you want to play?  Stevie replies, Oh, any night next w
eek is fine.

DRY SENSE OF HUMOR FALLS FLAT - avoid it

Much of deadpan, dry, or C class grades of humor relies upon sarcasm & depravity.  A person with a dry sense of humor tells a joke & it is not immediately obvious if it is serious or comicIt appears to be both at the same time, requiring some work on the part of the listener to discern for himself. The challenge is to "get it" in the way it was intended. A very crucial aspect to humor is its delivery by the person. Speed & accuracy are other essential components of good delivery.

THE CREATORS RESUME & HIS OCCUPATION - for easy connection





THE CREATORS RESUME & HIS OCCUPATION - for easy connection

Name : Shiv-ya literally means THAT WHICH IS NOT = NOTHINGNESS. For our convenience we have named HIM as BABA, our Grandfather. Shiva Baba, The generous beneficial father, from whom we claim our Inheritance of The Golden Paradise.

Language : Experiential realization of the world of Silence & Nothingness.

Education : PhD in all subjects

Qualifications : Knower of Truth, Three aspects of time, & three worlds.

Address : Paramdham meaning The eternal soul world beyond this Universe

TEMPORARY VS PERMANENT

Throughout history, we human beings have sought many things. Above all we have each desired two things: happiness and a perfect relationship. If we achieve either one or both of these things, it becomes a constant struggle to keep them, and they usually prove to be temporary. If we want to achieve them on a permanent basis, we must look beyond the limited gains of possessions, money and fragile human relationships.


UNION WITH THE KING DIRECTLY - no middle person

Raja Yoga has two meanings: Sovereign Yoga, the yoga through which you can become the sovereign, the master of yourself; and the Supreme Union, or ‘union with the Supreme’. This second aspect of Raja Yoga involves developing a relationship with the Supreme, the source of perfection, God as we perceive Him. Within this yoga or union you can fulfill your wish for inner happiness and your desire for a perfect relationship with  him first, before committing yourself. Under the circumstances, you would keep an open mind. Similarly, with the concept of a supreme spiritual energy, until there is direct experience, it would be unwise to commit yourself.

KNOWING HIS FORM TO RECOGNIZE ACCURATELY

Yet, if you want to have contact with the Supreme Being, there are certain things that you must know. First, you should know the form of the Supreme so that you will be able to have accurate recognition. Second, you need to know what ‘language’ to use so that there can be communication. Third, you need to know where your meeting can take place. In Raja Yoga, just as we have a very precise notion of the form of the soul, so we also have a very precise notion of the form of the Supreme. In fact, the Supreme is recognized as the Supreme Soul. He has a form identical to that of the human soul, that is, a point source of consciousness, a spark of light energy.


GENDER NEUTRAL ETERNAL ENERGY

When we use the word He, this is not to imply that we think of the Supreme as male. The soul itself has no gender; it is only the body that has gender. Whereas the human soul takes a body, the Supreme Soul never has a body of His own, and so, is neither male nor female. God never takes human birth. So, He never forgets his original qualities as we do. He remains eternally peaceful, blissful and powerful. Our experience of our own original qualities is limited.  God is eternally the unlimited ocean of virtues. He is completely full, and never needs anything. This means He is totally benevolent, ever-giving.

BENEVOLENT GOD-FATHER

In fact, within Raja Yoga we have a particular name for the Supreme, and that is Shiva Baba. Shiva means benevolence. He is the only being who is truly altruistic, whereas we humans normally look for something in return, even if it is only the pleasure of giving. God gives without any desire or expectation of return. Baba is a sweet and familiar name for Father, thus, Shiva Baba is the benevolent Father of all souls. This can also be named as GRACE. The reason Father is used is because of the concept of a father giving an inheritance to his children. In this case, the inheritance received is of peace, love, knowledge and happiness.

ALL IN ONE - EXPERIENCE HIM IN ANY FORM

The Supreme is also the Mother, the Friend and the Beloved. In fact, whatever relationship or positive role you wish to see in Him, you can, because He is the unlimited source of all qualities, both male and female. So, whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw on, a source that is only a thought away. How can you communicate with this being? Meditation is about experiencing yourself, experiencing your own qualities. You create peaceful thoughts in order to experience peace. Paradoxically, the more you absorb yourself in that peace, the fewer thoughts you need.

UNSPOKEN LANGUAGE OF SILENCE

The communication with the Supreme is on this level. You come to know Him through the experiences that you have of His qualities. You begin to feel those qualities surround you. My communication with God is primarily through silent experience. In deep silence you can lose yourself in the Ocean of Peace. With this experience you feel refreshed. You begin to understand your own qualities and specialties more deeply, and this brings confidence. You take power, which enables you to maintain a peaceful stage while going about your daily life.
  

RECLAIMING MY ORIGINAL NATURE

In the awareness of my eternal identity ... I, the soul, become aware of an eternal connection ... not only with all the human souls around me, but also with a being who is the Supreme. ... A soul … a being of light ... with a form that is infinitesimal ... and yet from that point of light, a radiance of infinite peace, love, joy. ...

In the awareness of my own original state of peace ... I can tune in ... and connect with the Ocean of Peace. ... Waves of peace from the Ocean of Peace reach me and surround me ... peace filled with sweetness ... peace filled with strength. ...  I, the child of the Supreme, realize that this is my eternal Parent ... the One who gives constant love, support, protection. … This is my Parent who constantly cares for me, sustains me and guides me ... the Ocean of Unlimited Love. ... This is the Being who is the Bestow-er, the Absolute … able to give constantly, and so needing no return. ... One who is benevolent, the Supreme Benefactor. ...
Through my thoughts, I stay connected with the Supreme ... I fill myself from the Ocean. ... I reclaim my original nature of peace, love and joy.


The only purpose of arriving into life, is to acquire the art of graceful exit. 



THE BELIEF OF IMMORTALITY MAKES US CARELESS & ARROGANT

All beliefs are baseless & false. It is superfluous to qualify the word BELIEF with an adjective. We believe in mumbo jumbo because basically we are afraid & cowards to admit that we do not know the unknown. We all are living passive lives, with a laid back attitude, which holds us back from venturing out to explore & seek what we do not know. This half alive, never ending pace stems from total ignorance & unawareness on our part. We live our lives as if we are never going to die, fully convinced to the core. Eventually we do die, having never really lived. This realization dawns on us, when it is too late to reverse the tables / topsoil.



PARADISE - THE LAND OF DIVINE LIKE BEINGS.


Every one has to become PURE - choose to become through power of Yoga & remembrance now, Or else you will be force-ably made PURE through punishment & low status further on. To go home, you have to die first, & leave this old body. Death is inevitable, therefore why not get prepared for it & enjoy that beautiful last moment gracefully & knowingly. 
Death is when life decides to leave, respect it - 24 minutes lapse time - Full life is fast forwarded for your benefit.
If sorrowful & unaware at that moment then next birth - terrifying, miserable
If happily aware & conscious at that moment then next birth is - happiness, enjoyable.
Therefore practice now the art of DYING ALIVE..a full un-dress rehearsal. The soul is discarding this decayed costume - in full consciousness, gladly.  
Reforming, refining, re-wring, & re-working on self is good transformation. Blossom into newness without a trace of the old.

This turn over is a re-turn of HIS love.


WHERE TO FIND HIM - OUR ETERNAL HOME SWEET HOME

You also need to know where to find Him. When you sit in meditation and go deep within yourself, a feeling of stillness comes over you. In that silence, your experience is that you are in an unchanging world, a timeless world. Yet this physical world is ever-changing. If your consciousness is tied to the physical, you can never get away from the passage of time. It is as though you have taken your consciousness beyond this world to another world. We call this place the soul world, the original home of the soul. It is a timeless world of silence and stillness, full of peace and power, a world  of infinite golden-red light. This is also the home of the Supreme Soul. Taking yourself there, you begin to experience His unlimited qualities of peace, love, purity, bliss and power surrounding you. Through this most perfect of all relationships, you take power and guidance so that you can clear your karmic debts of the past and create a peaceful, happy and stable future.

AT HOME COSTUME FREE BUT NOT NAKED - energy can not be dressed up

As I connect with One, the magnetism and power of the Supreme lift my consciousness beyond the physical dimension ... into a world of light. ... I find myself in a place of infinity ... a region where there are no borders ... a place of stillness ... of silence ... of perfect purity. ... This is my home ... a place where I feel so comfortable, so at peace ... I am with my Supreme Parent ... I belong to this Mother and Father ... to this home. ... I experience my original state of stillness, of purity, in my home. ... This is a place of rest. ... Down below, the world stage is a place of action, and I will journey back there in a few moments. ... But for now, I can be up here in my home ... with my Parent ... learning to be the observer ... learning to be free.



STARTING THE PROCESS OF MEDITATION

  
THOUGHTS FOR MEDITATION

I withdraw my attention from my physical limbs and senses. ...
I focus on myself. …
I am listening through these ears. ...
I am looking through these eyes. ...
I am behind these eyes ... in the center of the forehead… 
I am an eternal spark of life energy. ...
This life energy empowers the body. ...
I am a non-physical being ... an eternal soul. ...
I am the actor ... this body is simply my costume. ...
I focus my thoughts on the point in the center of the forehead. 
I am a tiny point of conscious light. ...
I feel completely detached from the body ... peaceful and light.
I am a star radiating light. ...
I find deep peace and contentment within. ...
I now know my true self ... an eternal, pure, peaceful soul.
I am in the Ocean of Peace. …
All conflict finishes. … A deep, deep silence comes over me.  
Om Shanti. (Om, (I am), and Shanti, (peace)
I am a peaceful soul.

Create your own similar thoughts if you prefer. Any thoughts based on the awareness of the self as a soul are valid. Think slowly and aim to experience the slow speed & stillness of the activities in the mind.

THE MAKING UP OF THE SCRIPTURES & INVENTION OF RELIGIONS




THE MAKING UP OF THE SCRIPTURES & INVENTION OF RELIGIONS 


FACTUAL HISTORY OR FANTASY FOR POSTERITY




At this time period the technology of ink & paper did not exist. There were no books or libraries for the rulers & public. Instead they had professional STORY TELLERS. Therefore every thing important was framed up in Sanskrit language as Shlokas, two lined verses / poems.  They are also called by another name - MNEMONIC RECITALS. These poems were recited & retold hundreds of times like our modern Nursery Rhymes & passed on to the next generations till the era of ink & paper arrived. They fell into the category of LISTENING & RECITING, which is labeled as language SPEAKING proficiency.  Now these professional story tellers collectively sat down & attempted to  write down the memorized poems / verses in bits & pieces, half truth half fantasy. At this point they had to elevate themselves to fully honed language proficiency of READING & WRITING, which did not happen over night.  The daring ones would take a calculated risk to alter the history  by adding his-story, and who would know the right from the wrong, the truth from the false. This is how our Epics evolved, from Oral compositions in the head for many many centuries, to the final piece meal written down versions, by half literate apprentices.  God help the posterity.   

 BIRTH OF MULTIPLE RELIGIONS BRINGS CHAOS & MISERY

Many major religions started to take birth gradually, as a result the subjects had more than one choices. This became the root of the all evils & misery brought about by mankind himself. The great Mahavira gave birth to Jainism. Ayruveda schools sprang up to educate the masses. Gautam Buddha gave us the middle path to please the Almighty. Jesus Christ came down to show case, an even easier way to live our lives by healing ourselves first. Last to arrive on the scene was Mohammed, who was illiterate &  confused. His followers concocted paradoxical rules & rituals of Islam, which are not clear to their followers till today. 


RELIGION BECOMES A PROFITABLE OCCUPATION / TRADE



The ignorant & confused common man / woman started to believe in all the wrong things & invisible stuff like the evil spirits, the Devil. They remembered God who they thought lived way up in heaven, to come to their rescue when ever they encountered losses through natural calamities or passing away of a loved one. Many smart people posed as Gods middle men & tricked the ignorant public into helping them out of their predicaments. They would perform weird stomping rituals with a broom, faking to exorcise the devil in the person gone mad or who had lost his mind because of the unexplained mishap in his life. Every Hindu was considered a fortune teller. People equated Hinduism with Religion, Astrology & Palmistry. The craft of deception was taking roots in a big way. Religion became a trade, & that too a very profitable one. People were miserable with their existing conditions & searching for specific answers regarding the fate of their futures & even next births.  


INVENTION OF KING CONSTANTINE - CHRISTIANITY  BUT NOT CHRISTISM

He rounded up his best scholars & writers & compiled  the crude book for Christian followers from the massive scrolls numbering 80 & then kept 4 of them. He destroyed all the rest. This invention grew very slowly bit by bit. 

In 325, at the Council of Nikea, Constantine the Great created the Catholic Church.
In 327 Constantine, known as emperor of Rome, ordered Jerome to translate the Vulgate version into Latin, changing Hebrew first names and corrupting the scriptures.
In 431, worship of VIRGEM was invented.
In 594 PURGATORY was invented.
In 610, the Pope's title was invented.

In 788, the worship of pagan deities is imposed.
In 995, the meaning of kadosh (sided) was changed to saint.
In 1079, the celibacy of priests is tax >> utterly Catholic word.

In 1090, the Rosary was imposed.
In 1184, the Inquisition was perpetrated.
In 1190 indulgences are sold.

In 1215, confession was imposed on priests.
In 1216, the tale of Pope Innocent III about the terror of bread (a god in Greek mythology), which turns into human flesh, was invented.
In 1311, the Batesimo prevailed.
In 1439, the non-existent PURGATORY was dogmatized.
In 1854, the Immaculate Conception was invented.
In 1870, the absurdity of an infallible pope was required, inventing the concept of hiring
There are more than 2500 things invented by this religion to enslave humans with Christianity.


MEETING UP WITH THE CREATOR / GOD  - YOGA

Can any Tom Dick & Harry get up and go to meet the Queen. No way. It is the Queen who decides whom ever, & when ever SHE desires to meet ,not the other way round. Well the Queen is only a Human & it is possible to try and meet up with HER somehow, may be have tea with her & talk about the Kohinoor Diamond in her Crown.

Can the same Earthling ever dream of meeting up with Creator / God. Impossible, totally impossible. Firstly no one knows Who HE is, & where we can find HIM. Secondly What & How will we have a dialogue with HIM because HE has no access to human organs of speech.        

NATURE OF CREATOR

What is the form of Almighty. Where is the proof that HE exists at all. Till the arrival of the Confluence Age there are no answers.  If you have set aside all the questions & now rely on blind faith in HIS existence, then such single pointed saints / people become great souls for the common man. HE does impart flashes of Visions, but they are of no use in this life or any other life. At the end of the Iron Age HE does make HIS appearance to a select few, gives HIS Introduction & asks us to reform ourselves, become Pure & Virtuous. No human can know or realize God up till the auspicious time, when HE decides to reveal HIM self by taking a pure body / chariot on loan. This lucky chariot happens to be the  friendly known soul of Krishna, who is now turned Ugly, impure, Tamopradhan, in his last 84 th birth.  The creator, very affectionately called Shiv Baba by HIS adopted children, the Brahma Kumaris, & Kumars, opens up a Hospital cum University to impart the Alchemy of Knowledge first hand.  HIS Shrimat is the Original GITA which sharpens our Intellects & we start making effort to become Pure souls again, just like we did in the last cycle & every cycle. Shiv Baba too is a Pure Soul, a point of light but Ocean of all Virtues.     

PARADISE ON EARTH

In the beginning of the Kalpa or the start of the four Ages, there was One land mass known as Bharat, the Golden Sparrow. On this lone small Pure continent, the First Prince Krishna & Radhe began the long journey, with Love Abundance & Equanimity. The climate was very conducive, springtime through out the years, because of the horizontal positioning of the Earths Magnetic poles. Soon they were Crowned as Emperor & Empress by their own subjects. Everyone  portrayed Divine manners & subscribed to One Deity religion. They ruled for 9 dynasties as Lakshmi & Narayan in the start of the Golden Age. From here they stepped into the Silver Age as Sita & Rama to rule over the hearts of their subjects for another 12 dynasties to come in absolute peace, because there was no other land to conquer or another religion to divide them. Such a Paradise will be remembered by its inhabitants as Heaven at a latter time to come.  

INVASION BY FOREIGN KINGS ON THE GOLDEN SPARROW

The Golden Sparrow was rich in Gold, Jewels, valuable spices beyond imagination. The relatively minor fiefdoms around Bharat wanted to conquer this paradise & make it their home. Persia invaded Bharat & ruled the Indus Valley. Then came Alexander the great who had conquered almost the rest of the world. The Greeks were not to be left behind, so they too ruled over Hindustan. Soon the Turks invaded from the north & ruled the Indus Valley. Finally the Mohammedans made their way starting with Ghazni who shamelessly plundered 17 times and took away all the riches of the Golden sparrow. The other noble Mohammedans were the Mongols who ruled as if it is their own land & helped in the development & advancement of the country.  The greedy Britishers too started their assault with East India Company in Bengal. Before the blink of an eye they established their rule by installing Warren Hastings as their first Governor  General of India.  Their wrath & hate for the Indian people is known to whole world.  

DIVISION OF LAND  BEGETS ORPHANS & DESTRUCTION.

At the start of the Copper Age, after a lapse of 2500 peaceful years, the down fall of humanity began & all the Purity down played into Impurities & Vicious Vices. Ravan & Maya appeared on the scene, drowning the whole continent in Lust, jealousy, anger, killing, greed, ego & attachments. The tectonic plates shifted & more land was added to the existing continent which was now renamed as Hindustan. People started to migrate to newer unknown lands with the sole greed for their own kingdoms & self proclaimed kings. Now the stage was set for wars between multiple kingdoms with different religions & values. The one large Kingdom of Bharat disintegrated into 16 smaller states / kingdoms. During one such unfortunate  partition / division, the Egos of  two clans got the better of them & there was a big war.  This mighty battle lasted 18 days on the plains of Kurukshetra. The Kauravas lost everything & the Pandavas won the graveyard that was left behind. This Epic is narrated as Frametales - a story within story, was called THE MAHABHARTA WAR.   600 years latter when this Epic was first written down, it was named JAYA with just 8800 verses. It took three years to pen it down on crude hand made paper. JAYA means spiritual victory over self and there are no LOSERS in this battle. Then after another couple of years they added some more verses to total it to 24,000 verses and renamed it as BHARTA, which describes clan fighting over land ownership. With some more passage of time many more verses are added to total it to 75,000. Now it is  renamed it as VIJAYA meaning material victory with one LOSER & another winner. Finally another bright writer musters up guts to add more of the stuff to increase the total to 100,000 verses plus. Now it is once again renamed as MAHABHARTA which means the wisdom of the land. The big lesson to be learnt from this Frametale  is that no body ever wins in a war, both sides are LOSERS  in the end.


TO FIGHT OR NOT TO FIGHT PREDICAMENT 

The Pandavas were in two minds before the start of the war.  Arjuna did not want to fight & kill his own cousins. There were no Gods, no incarnations of Vishnu, neither Krishna, nor Rama during this degraded period of Dwapar Yuga. Therefore the depiction & presence of Godly Krishna as Arjuna's  Charioteer & adviser is a concocted fantasy by the writers of this Epic. The so called sermon which contains the essence of Hinduism has been inserted on purpose & forms the  GITA portion of the Epic. However the Original Bhagvad GITA was spoken by Shiva during the Confluence Age to HIS student Brahmins. This memory of God Shiva speaking the teachings of GITA has been reenacted / borrowed & purposefully inserted, for the benefit of the mankind in the Epic. Stories were written to create Ideals & inspire  the people to follow them. 

THE CORE OF BHAGVAD GITA

The key elements contained in the GITA are summarized for your benefit. 
Do your duty / Karam joyfully by detaching from its outcome. 
Detach yourself from all luxuries & desires to perform activities as HIS instrument.  
The eternal soul changes its perishable costume / body upon death. Therefore be flexible & adaptable in this temporary world.
Manage your anger which has a downward chain reaction to delusion, confused memory, destruction of reason leading to your annihilation.
Knowledge is wrapped in several layers of desires. Rip open the wrappers to get to the core of Gyan.  




SEARCH FOR THE FATHER & REMEMBERING HIM

A  faint memory of the beautiful Paradise like Golden Sparrow & Benevolent God existed in the minds of the common man, laden with vices, attachments, lust & drowning in his own misery. Anyhow he desperately wanted to connect back with the almighty God, even for just a quick glimpse. The smart middle men saw this as their big opportunity to convert this pressing need into a roaring trade. False claims about the secrets of Yoga & multiple pathways to God were ready for the gullible troubled common man. All he had to do was to cough up the price for the particular pathway he preferred out of the many offered to him by the greedy touts & charlatans.

LIVING IN SORROW

When there is One, who will fear whom. The thinker & the thought are one & same, hence misery disappears. When you see through the prism of Ignorance, it appears many & therefore feels separate from one another & HIM. Trouble begins when man has more than one choices. That religion which sanctions one wife or this one which allows four wives simultaneously. Living in compact home located in a Valley or a sprawling glass house on top of the mountain. A fair slim maiden is more desirable than a dark plump female. If not this one then which one will I choose. Misery is a combination of Fear, Jealousy, hatred, competition & limitations. It is the inner mental conflict in the Soul which is torn between the world of matter, flesh & world of Spirit. The presence of Celestial beauties / virgins in heaven is totally wishful thinking & baseless, because souls have no physical bodies for any interaction. The tools of lust & pleasure are left behind on Earth.

LONGING FOR A GLIMPSE OF HIM

Yoga is simply the union of this miserable soul on Earth, with the Supreme Blissful Soul in Eternity above. It is also the method to remove Ignorance which is the cause of restless mind & transcend its limitations. Mind is difficult to control. It wanders like a butterfly rarely resting at any one branch / flower.  

HEART FELT DEVOTION

Bhakti is unerring Devotion lead by the heart of the devotee. The luke warm aspirant stood no chance against the earnest hankering aspirant. Our limited intellect can not conceive the Infinite Super Being. HE is beyond our reach of finite thought & speech. Therefore in our limited ways we created Material Symbols to comprehend the Infinite limitless God. Pretty naive & childish on our part. We were very pleased with our selves to have created Idols, Gigantic Images, Lingams of all kinds & sizes. Further we set them up in powerful costly shrines & kept them locked up from the public. The trustees of these places made their own rules & started extorting money to view these inanimate Images / Idols. This is how religion became a profitable trade for the lucky few.   

KEEPING THE MIND BUSY

Chanting / Japa was invented for the troubled man. It is the rosary which is threaded with incoming & outgoing breaths. Repeat the Mantra /Japa in the rhythm of your breath.

Prayer & Worship are intense longing for God. Who weeps for God. No one complained of losing God or celebrated finding HIM. Our attitude towards HIM determines our relationship with HIM.


FOUR FORMS OF YOGA

Attempts to connect & be in Union with God through Intense Devotion is termed as BHAKTI YOGA.

The method of discrimination by which we can realize our Identity with the Supreme Existence is JANA YOGA. It is the science of Wisdom.

The gift of detachment by which we can govern all our duties without entanglements of work through which we are engaged is called KARMA YOGA. It is the science of work.

The methodology by which we can control our mind itself, which is the cause of all our miseries is labeled as RAJA YOGA. It is the science of the  Soul taught by Supreme Soul, the Raja HIMSELF.
