Meena Om ji – The most Proactive and Interactive Soul

It was more than two and half years since I had been on Speaking Tree site of Times of India. I as a seeker was pulled to interact with spiritually inclined souls. Initially after seeing so many famous names in the Master’s category at Speaking Tree fourm, I felt I could interact with them and revive the spiritual knowledge which is dormant in me. I know many will agree with me that this was one of the criteria for becoming a member of that esteem site which is suppose to be the first spiritual site in this country.I understood the importance of having the association of a Master who is a true Saint, and then I naturally wanted to have a one to one contact with them. I started to blog my thoughts and send Personal Message to them as I would send to my other seekers. After say about…

Spiritual Mentor Meena Om who was also born on October 2nd talks to Satsangh about how she grew up in Sabarmati Ashram under the fond tutelage of Gandhiji and how his values have influenced her life… Meena Didi, You grew up in Sabarmati Ashram. Not only that, you also share the same Janamdin or birthday with Gandhiji. [Laughing] I have made my Janamdin into Pranam Foundation Day. Pranam is a movement like Gandhiji’s movement. Gandhiji liberated the country. Now, we must liberate the soul. This is where Pranam plays a role. Gandhiji sacrificed his whole life for the liberation of the country, but now our country is facing innumerable problems… Yes, there is so much ignorance, but to have the right understanding of this, we must be very conscious, aware and awake. The moment we are aware and rooted in truth, love, karm and light, all our problems will get solved.…

Energy – The Infinite Reservoir

Energy – The Infinite Reservoir

  • Post author:

The soul is condensed manifestation of energy. It is a collection of Universal energies that have been compacted and formatted to form ‘soul’ in living organisms. The soul behaves according to the external form in which it resides, much like a battery, which does not have any agenda of its own, it merely provides energy to perform tasks or ‘karms’ according to the mechanism it is attached to. Hence, energy in the human body becomes SOUL. In reality, the soul is captive in the human form and is always yearning to get liberated. Mental hindrances create discomfort. As stated in the Geeta, when a person has liberated himself out of mind tuning, by constant SADHANA, only then the SOUL IS HAPPY and continues to reside in THE BODY TILL THE SPECIAL MISSION OF THAT BODY IS accomplished ON EARTH. The past few years have seen the grilling of spirituality on…

Be A Good Human

Be A Good Human

  • Post author:

We have to justify this life by being a true human. How we with others should also reflect our true human behaviour. We have to realise that we are from one source and that we all are made of the same five elements – Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Space. We have to develop, polish and refine the qualities of these five elements in our being.  For example, the Earth denotes patience, gives shelter to all, be it a saint or a sinner. Air lets life happen. Water stands for compassion. Fire burns imperfections, and as its flames always go upwards, we too should grow and evolve upwards. Space gives protection and a sense of belonging.  There are so many religions and religious sects fighting with each other, calling themselves superior and displaying no compassion or tolerance for the others. They must know that there is a place for everyone…

Depression is not a disease!

Depression is not a disease!

  • Post author:

Vishaad – Aatm Manthan Ke Shivir O human, listen and understand this truth with dhyan. Depression is not an illness or disease. It is a plateau given by Nature to know the true meaning and importance of detachment. In the complete life cycle of a human being, state of depression is sure to happen at least 7 to 10 times, at an interval of 8 to12 years. The ashrams of our Vedic culture are based on this reality and mental state. This is a unique and miraculous law of Nature. In the state of depression, the human mind is disillusioned and astonished by worldly experiences. It is detached and is lost in its own world. The mind is either agitated and indulges in self pity and may even think of suicide, or as a result of aatm-manthan, self-analysis, it could gather itself, and determined with new enthusiasm, give truthful direction…

Dane dane pe ….

While walking towards the gate to catch my flight on Vande Bharat, the rescue mission Air India flight to New York. I stopped at the book store to pick up some magazines to occupy myself on the fifteen hour flight which was offering minimal in flight services. At the bookstore I also spent time looking for some healthy snacks for the flight. Ignoring my temptation for eating salted potato chips I settled for some roasted lotus seeds (makhanas) reading the label careful for the rock salt content, zero fat and protein along with an apricot almond bar and fresh juice. Tucking all the goodies in my bag I rushed to the gate for the flight. As expected the flight was full but the sight of the airline staff covered under the PPE suits was a bit surreal. Struggling to maintain the social distancing, dragging all the carry-on bags and feeling…

Love and Cruelty of Nature

Love and Cruelty of Nature

  • Post author:

Love and cruelty are two sides of the same coin. It is the law of Nature – it takes as it gives. It crafts a puppet out of the five elements – air, water, space, earth and fire -- and in the end converting it back into five elements, Nature merges it in itself. Nature loves matter and being equally, for her own purpose. Her purpose is constant growth and when it sees obstacles in its path, through its tandav, dance of destruction – earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, storms etc., taking the support of five elements, it destroys them. It is all directed by Natural law and everything is layabadh, rhythmic. It is not necessary to return Nature’s love as much as it is to spread it further. The moon can receive only as much light as it is destined, and it reflects and spreads it further daily. Even if…

This Ministry Works!

Having been in business for more than a decade and a half, the travails and tribulations of being a woman entrepreneur in India have been like climbing mount Everest most often than not. Until now. And how do I claim this? Through the two ‘AA ratings’ that are infallible hallmarks and the basis of our Culture – experience, anubhav and the subsequent realisation, anubhuti. Even though I have been banking with the second largest private bank in the nation --HDFC, my recent interaction with them has been nothing less than horrific. As the lockdown lifted and we all limped back to work metaphorically, the reality of having incurred huge losses hit me like a brick on the head! The shops we retailed in were shut, buyers cancelled purchase orders and unsold stock grew by the day. Chances of reviving manufacturing were slim as most migrant workers were still at home…

GANESH CHATURTHI

  • Post author:

Let’s Be Ganesha To Each Other The clay Ganesha murtis that you bring home for Ganesh Chaturthi take several weeks to be crafted out of clay, moulded, dried, smoothened, painted, decorated – before you can pray to them asking to remove all hurdles to your life; but what about you? Are you not supposed to prepare yourself too to invite divinity to visit you, bless you? Cleaning your house and surroundings is one part of the preparation, what is equally, in fact, more important, is cleaning yourself from inside; removing traits which are undesirable for human growth such as jealousy, envy, fear and  guilt. The Supreme has endowed each of one us with a special individual trait which can be developed to contribute to the welfare of humanity but many of us don’t know what their special individual trait is. Most people pray to Ganesha, also called ‘Vighna Harta’ --…

Gurubhyo Namah

Gurubhyo Namah

“When the Shishya is ready the Guru appears” says scriptures. At times we hope of having a Guru so that our spiritual journey will be easy to tread with his guidance and blessings. There is a need for a Guru who can clear our doubts on Universe, Reality, Truth, and so on. One may wonder why ignorance cannot be dispelled by just reading religious scriptures. The scriptures are like a dense forest with unclear passages. These passages look contradictory and may have obscure meanings, diverse connotation, and concealed explanations with cross-references. Guru can explain the right meaning by removing doubts and ambiguities. Thus the essence of the scriptures unfolds for us. Guru is one who is versed in the scriptures, sinless, untouched by desire and experiencer of Brahman, who has united himself with Brahman. He is calm, like fire that has consumed its fuel with a boundless reservoir of mercy…
