Today, early morning, I had a dream in which I saw two queues of people lining up in front of the two doors in a building, with people depositing the belongings of their loved ones who were going to die…! I saw myself entering one of these rooms, out of sheer curiosity to know the fate of those dying…! I saw people lying on floor mats, one on each mat. I went deeper into the room and sat on a chair like seat and found myself expressing surprise to see a very small young child sitting on a chair-like structure in front of me…the child was all smiles and looking intently at me…
…Suddenly, my dream was broken. It was early morning. I was asked by one of the family members to check out if BRHMA were alive or dead, since there was no sound from its pigeon-house. I got up, rushed out and found BRHMA’s physical body lifeless…
…Clearly, BRHMA, the young pigeonlet had progressed in the cycle of evolution and left for experiencing the still higher form of the life, in all possibility to be born as a child…the child that I had seen in my dream…! The previous night I was thinking about this young pigeonlet’s safety…I reasoned - the young pigeonlet would survive despite all dangers if the Almighty wished so and It would die in spite of all our best efforts to ensure its safety if the Almighty wished it to move to higher life…So, why worry?
At first, I was bit sad as any human being would be. Then, I consoled myself by reminding myself of the dream…I chanted the Mahaamrtyunjaya hymn and prayed to the almighty to give the spiritual progression to BRHMA…With a sense of loss, I dug the grave, lowered BRHMA into it, sprinkled salt on it and covered the pit with the mud…!
The birds are said to have only three elements – THE EARTH, THE WATER, THE AIR and don’t have remaining two elements – THE FIRE, THE SKY. Hopefully, BRHMA shall now be born as a human being and achieve spiritual liberation. Yes, I saw the bright light around BRHMA’s being when I closed my eyes to find out the fate of BRHMA on the spiritual plane.Today, early morning, I had a dream in which I saw two queues of people lining up in... more

‘THE PEACE-FOR-ALL-PRAYER’ – THE YAJURVAEDA VERSE
[A].THE INTRODUCTION:
Today, we get dismayed when we notice the mindless killing of the fellow human by a fellow human in different parts of the globe.
Then, we read and see reports about the thousands of innocent people, animals, birds and other creatures being killed by the non-human disasters like the earthquake in different parts of the Earth. Your heart gets disturbed on seeing the visuals of the helpless people being drown in the flood-waters or the mangled bits of a crashed-aeroplane with the body parts of the dead human-passengers strewn all around and so on.
It seems the whole world has become restless and consequently the peaceless. Then, we quietly switch off our TV sets, Laptops, PCs, Transistors, FMs and put the newspaper away so as not to get our blood pressure increased due to all these tension-giving media reports about the seemingly a lack of the peace in our otherwise beautiful serene world.
Being persons with a conscience, we start praying for the peace for our human race on this planet Earth. But, should we stop at praying for the peace for the humans only?
[B].THE DISCUSSION:
Thousands of years back, the Indian spiritual-scientists called the Reshhes taught the human race to pray for the peace not only for the human race but all other entities in our world. This is shown amply by the following Verse Number 36/17 in the Yajurvaeda, through which the Reshhes prayed for the peace for all the entities in the cosmos:
“Dhouuha ShanteRaAntreksham Shanteha Prthevee Shanteraapha Shanteroshhadhayha Shanteha I
Vanaspatayha ShanteRaVeshvae Daevaaha ShanteRaBrhma Shanteha Sarvm Shanteha Shanteraeva Shanteha Saa Maa Shanteraedhe II”
The meaning of the above-stated Verse is as under:
“The Peace for the Dhuloka [Heavens], the Peace for the Antreksha [Universe], the Peace for the Prthevee [Earth], the Peace for the Jala [Water], the Peace for the Auushhadhee [Herbal Medicines], the Peace for the Vanaspate [Plants], the Peace for the Daevataa [Gods/Goddesses/Deities], the Peace for the Brhma [Absolute], the Peace for the Sarva [Everything/Everyone], the Peace for the Shaante [Peace] and my this Peace may exist forever.”
This Vaedika Peace-Verse shows clearly that the ancient Indian Reshhes considered everything like the Earth, Water, Plants, Universe, etc in this world as possessing the consciousness and accordingly an identity of its own.
THE BRIEF EXPLANATION:
1. If the peace for the Heavens [the abode of the Divine Entities] exists, we humans are benefitted, too because then these Divine Entities could help us much better instead of rather being busy solving their own peaceless state of affairs.
2. If the peace for the Universe exists, we humans stand to gain because then it would mean no need to worry about things like the meteors or the asteroids hitting our Earth and harming us or the Sun losing its heat, thereby causing loss of the precious insolation on the Earth and so on.
3. If the peace for the Earth exists, we would be spared of the calamities like the earthquake, etc.
4. If the peace for the Water exists, we would without doubt remain peaceful because this would mean surety of the drinking-water for everyone, the rainwater for our crops and consequently no peaceless problems like the Famine caused by a shortage of the food-grains, etc. and we would further be spared of the terrible problems like the furious floods.
5. If the peace for the Herbal Medicines exists, the herbal medicines would not die out and always would remain effective in wiping out the diseases from our life.
6. If the peace for the Plants exists, the plants always would live a normal life. The Plants would give us plenty of useful products and the greenery to enrich our life.
7. If the peace for the Gods/Goddesses/Deities exists, the world shall be ridden of the harmful bad astral entities and the negative energy around because then the Gods/Goddesses/Deiies would be able to focus their whole energy in fighting out these aforesaid evil forces.
8. If the peace for the Brhma [Absolute] exists, it would still be more beneficial for the whole world.
9. If the peace for Everyone in this world exists, there would be no humans-induced conflicts, skirmishes, battles, wars, killings, lootings or non-human calamities like earthquake, etc.
10. If the peace for the concept of ‘the Peace’ exists, this concept of the Peace always shall remain the prime in our life and the world. This would ensure that each and every particle or bit of the energy emitted the peace only in the world.
[C].THE CONCLUSION:
Dear Readers, you are requested earnestly to display the above-mentioned Peace-Verse in your Drawing Room, Dining Hall, Kitchen, Study Room, Bed Room, Halls, Classrooms, Conference-rooms, Office and public places prominently. Yours this big noble gesture may help usher in the positive vibrations for the Peace on this beautiful planet earth and in rest of the world around…!‘THE PEACE-FOR-ALL-PRAYER’ – THE YAJURVAEDA VERSE

The Hypothetical Example:
Let us assume that a young lady Sussan wished to follow the spiritual path and was looking for a guide. If she were to be non-judgmental in the beginning itself, she might well land in the wrong hands of the wrong/fake spiritual masters. The best option would be to know about different spiritual masters. So, she contacted some of her friends to guide her suitably.
One friend suggested to her a certain famous TV-Star -Yoga-Guru having millions of followers world-wide. Her friend advised her not to make any judgments and surrender to this recommended Yoga-Guru. However, Sussan first of all decided to recollect all that she knew and collected further information on him.
She recalled that this swami ji Baabaa Chaalak "Baam Dev" had run away to the Himalayas from his home in childhood leaving behind his parents. She remembered that this Yoga-Guru had in the year 2005-2006 said in a TV interview that this Yoga-Guru would not get his Yoga-Programme/cultural-revolution be sent to the cremation ground by joining politics and as such he would not join the national politics.
But, he later, on becoming famous, started a political party/group called "Maashtra-Abhemaan", intending to nominate his candidates from all 545 parliamentary constituencies in a forthcoming parliamentary election.
Also, she learnt that he merrily went on inaugurating stadiums/programmes controlled/facilitated by anti-social elements/corrupt political leaders, he attended marriage ceremony of a child of one politician who had misutilized illegally the state machinery, by virtue of being the Chief Minister of the state, for managing the marriage of his child, he was charging rupees 500/50 from people for attending his Yoga-Camps and claiming to be a selfless saffron-clad true mahatma/saint/Yogareshe!
Sussan made judgments about this Yoga-Guru. She reasoned - Such a person could not be a role-model for her children and such a person could not be a real/genuine mahatma/saint and so isn't worth following!
Another friend suggested - why not follow this man teaching the art of living? She found that this man called "Shree Shree Kave Ghanachankara" fell short of the standards, too. This man taught others the art of living. Sussan collected information on this Swami Ji.
She found that once, an arrow from out of nowhere hit one of the disciples of this Swami ji. Swami Ji forgot all about the art of living and angrily blamed the local police for negligence in protecting him. He further claimed the arrow to have been an attempt by terrorists to kill this Swami Ji.
Later, the police found that a tribal had shot an arrow to kill a bird and that this particular arrow only had overshot and hit Swami Ji's disciple. She made a judgment - how can this Swami Ji be a true spiritual guide when he himself could not practice what he himself taught to others?
So, Sussan trekked all the way to the Himalayas. There she met an advanced pious Yogi. She made judgments about him, too. She found that he was self-less, pious, honest and possessing the spotless sterling character. He possessed supernatural powers, was humble, didn't ask for any money. She judged that he was competent enough to be her Guru.
So, she requested him to initiate her on the spiritual path. He initiated her in the Kreya-Yoga, gave her some supernatural powers, blessed her and asked her to go back to the world, to her family, her responsibilities and continue with her journey.
Sussan came back to her home, to her family, to her loving husband. She continued practising the Kreya-Yoga. She had now surrendered totally to his Himalayan Guru. Not for once, did she let any doubt about him crop up in her mind. She remained non-judgmental, fully focused and achieved the spiritual salvation when the correct time came.
The conclusion:
Thus, it is crystal-clear that we must be judgmentally non-judgmental instead of being merely non-judgmental. So, it would be correct to say - "Be judgmentally non-judgmental" rather than say - "Be non-judgmental.The Hypothetical Example:

Today, the true spiritual-seekers feel disgusted to see the so-called spiritual-masters and Yoga-experts busy in minting money by selling their spiritual wares through different outlets like the internet and so on. The true spiritual-seekers are asking themselves - Are these so-called spiritual-masters and Yoga-experts busy in minting money by selling their spiritual wares really True Spiritual-Guides or are just another kind of ordinary marketing and sales-people trying to market and sell their products to make money?
The Indian Puraannas have mentioned thousands of year ago itself that the Braahamannas [not the caste Brahmin, but those who have either become one with the Brhma, are the self realized souls or profess to be the Brhmagyaanees] shall sell the brhmagyaana/brhmavedyaa/Vaedas in the Kaleyuga. This is what is happening exactly!
There are certainly selfless people and organizations that are doing excellent selfless work for spreading the Yoga and the spirituality.
But, these selfless Yoga/spiritual-organizations cannot work without resources, the primary of which happens to be the money. In the excellent ancient days, the reshes used to get generous grants from the patron kings, businesspeople, disciples to run their Ashrmas efficiently. So, they did not need sell any CDs, DVDs, books, etcetra in those days. How many of today's kings/queens [read the governments], businesspersons or the disciples [who have learnt the Yoga from the really selfless Yoga-teachers] are helping the selfless Ashrmas run by the selfless devotees of the Yoga-science ?
Rani Rashmoni, (1793-1861), the founder of Daksshenaeshawara Kaalee Temple, Kolkata had greatly helped Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa by appointing him [Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa]the priest of the temple.
It would be wrong to label all the yogees/yogeenees as corrupt. There indeed are noble Yoga-practitioners who are engaged in the selfless rendering of the Yoga to the humanity.
There have been selfless people like Swami Vivekananda, Swami Shivananda and others who have taught the spirituality/Yoga free of cost to the people. Several such modern-day noble spiritual guides have written numerous articles on the Yoga. Some of them have been on the internet trying to spread the Yoga. But, it all required money in the first instance. If these noble-intentioned people don't try to sell their books, etcetra on the Yoga, do you think they'll ever be able to raise monetary resources needed to be able to get facilities like the internet, etcetra which come for a price? Getting documents xeroxed/scanned and putting them on the internet for the benefit of the spiritual/Yoga-seekers costs some money and so on.
But, yes, the noble saints/masters/guides don't sell their brhmagyaana for a monetary price unlike what many totally materialistic Yoga-teachers are doing around. Such pious masters have initiated numerous deserving spiritual-seekers in the spirituality/Yoga, free of cost. In fact, such kind-hearted, generous and compassionate guides/masters don't charge any money at all!
In my opinion, any Yoga-teacher who makes money for teaching the Yoga, on one or the other pretext to only to the people who can afford to pay money, but does not teach the Yoga to those who don't have money to pay, is no true spiritual-master, rather such a unreasonably-selfish yoga-teacher is just a spiritual-peddler!
There are many around who are not the spiritual-peddlers! Khwaazaa Gareeba Nawaaza [Hazrat Shaikh Khwaja Syed Muhammad Mu'īnuddīn Chishtī (Ajmeri)] of Ajmer was such a selfless noble saint. He never charged any money from spiritual-seekers. Guuruu Naanaka Daeva, the founder of' the Sekkhism, gave his spiritual-knowledge and blessings free of cost to the disciples/true-seekers. Jesus, another noble saint cared for humanity selflessly. He never charged money, too. Moses did not seek any special favour from Israeli people for having passed on to them the tablet containing the Ten Commandments!
It is perfectly justified if you are trying to raise resources in the selfless service of the Yoga/spirituality by selling books-DVDs, etcetra, only in case you are not getting any donations or grants, in case you are a genuine selfless Yoga/spiritual-teacher who is trying genuinely selflessly to teach/spread the true Yoga, i.e., union with the creation!Today, the true spiritual-seekers feel disgusted to see the so-called... more
