Who You Really Are?? Our most Fundamental Experience before any experience

Hello all,

I haven't written a blog post for quite some time; mainly because i went on my self discovery and was practicing Yoga regularly as prescribed by Isha Yoga. I was noticing that , All I knew about my self through spiritual gurus like Sadhguru, that I am a subjective deeper dimension, however I was still searching for the knowledge of Who am I? to help me in my yoga practice and experience the inner dimension I truly was and explore it fully.



I am glad to tell you that I have found a person named Rupert Spira. Thanks to Deepak Chopra for introducing me to Rupert Spira through this video 

Rupert explains in simple language Who You truly are.....Yes!!!!!!  he tells you that and also you can experience it right away! You essentially are consciousness ....the present and aware being ......... all the time. It is a subjective experience and i would suggest you do one of Rupert's guided meditation called the Direct Path and discover it! Experience it yourself!

Now in my personal experience I practice Rupert's Guided meditation of self abidance  with the understanding that I have got from Rupert and I can already recognize that the experience for me is far more profound and I can validate it every single time with my whole mind, body  and heart......when I am with my eyes closed or when I am in middle of my daily day to day activities.

I would encourage you to explore more of Rupert's videos and recognize the most basic subjective experience  (as it doesn't involve any object ) that is prior to experiencing any of the objective experiences ( of the mind (thoughts) , body (sensations)or the world (perceptions) ). The most fundamental experience that we would come across is I am ...........just I am ......that is I am present and I am Aware.....or in other words .... simply ....Awareness OR Consciousness.

I wish everyone experiences this. The time is now! :)


Love and Peace

Whats your Wish List?

Hello Everyone,

Last month was filled with amazing experiences where me and my partner got the opportunity to go to Isha Yoga Centre at Coimbatore and witness some things (Yogeshwara Linga Consecration and Mahashivratri  ) that we had never imagined. What a grand experience it was!   It was treuly amazing with thousands of mediators and a  vibrant and enchanting atmosphere 24*7 !!!



If we look closely behind all the actions that we perform , each one of us aim to experiences something  great and grand all the time. Whether it is building a house for you and your family , travelling to a new place, shopping, climbing a mountain, going to a restaurant or a movie, going on a trek, dancing in a disco, sky diving , running a marathon or just sleeping in your beloved blanket on a Sunday morning. With the new online social media we can also see that we like to share our experiences with the world and get a sense of gratification that we are living a good or a great life.

What Experiences do to you? 
If you ask anyone who has done a few things mentioned above, especially things like traveling and doing other exotic stuff like adventure sports etc, you will notice that they would have a certain sense of achievement and fulfillment or feeling of constantly learning new things and they would endorse these experiences a means of  learning life completely. They would also  encourage others to do the same. But most importantly these experiences make you feel good about yourself and others look up to you for experience sharing, guidance , motivation etc. In short in the society we live in, you become one of the coolest people to know and  one can take inspiration from. :)



Why do we do a wish List? 
However if you become the first person who has some of these experiences and if you honestly look at it closely, you will notice that every experience is beautiful but also it makes you experience something far more better. In fact correct me if I am wrong but you actually want to experience all the things in life which according to you are cool or awesome. And then, at some point of time you will have  this feeling that you can only possibly experience a few things and a huge list of things which (others have experienced )will remain un-experienced by you. This is when you really dont feel good about these experiences and probably then give the desperate stupid cry that you have to be a billionaire to experience everything on this planet!
 Hence as a solution (false solution) you create a ' Wish List ' and define the scope of the top most things you want to do in life. So that you can tell your mind to ignore the other things which may remain unfulfilled.


Is there a way to experience everything? 
At this point of time I hope that you stumble across Yoga and understand that it is a science that deals with inner experiences and not the outward experiences(listed above) that you kind of define yourself all the time.

People like Sadhguru who are the yogis indeed tell us that, the very bad feeling 'That why cant I experience everything' is the only thing that will drive us to the question ' How we cant get everything ?  and then understand the human nature to expand and experience everything which essentially means we dont want any boundaries for our desires! We want everything and thats how we are!
People like Sadhguru have experienced life the inner way and its worth a try to invest sometime everyday to see where this leads to. This is about exploring the inner dimension in each one of us through tools like inner engineering.
 In the worst case scenario, if you dont get anything after trying these practices, Yoga as proven by medical science will certainly give you a healthy mind and body and few more years to live on this planet atleast!

Think about it. Please share your thoughts! :)

How Digital Marketing and Spirituality are related

Good Evening People ....

This post is going to be very different as compared to my previous posts where I was trying to articulate, express and  share my limited understanding and  learning of spirituality or Spiritual Science.



Digital Space, Digital Marketing  

I work with a college and I am learning digital marketing as my work involves communicating to the masses about the new developments at the college and also connecting the college with the industry and organisations in Goa;  trying to add novelty to the college learning by adding experiential learning experiences through internships and projects.

The Questions that got me interested in learning Digital Marketing were 'Why Digital Marketing' ....off course subsequently one would ask 'What are the digital marketing tools used to connect with users' and ' How to effectively use them and analyse their effectiveness' .

Few weeks ago I had written a blog on ' How Spiritual Science can help us in our daily life?  and How to access 'Akasha' which is essentially the spiritual space,and to get the benefits of accessing akasha.





Common Link between understanding Spiritual Space and Digital Space

I came to know about spirituality and spiritual science a year ago and my current blog is a testimony to that awareness. Similarly we are now all aware (Well most of us are, some are still figuring it out) that Digital Space or more precisely internet space is the new way we communicate and transact and soon that would be the only way we will all be connected to do all the basic stuff, business , buying, communicating,  learning etc ... All the things  we were doing without this digital space before the internet was born ....


Be Aware and Appreciate the Digital *Space 

Just like Spiritual Science is a new dimension which is not physical in nature. However the awareness of its existence can bring  amazing benefits to our physical life here on planet earth . The spiritual gurus and masters have provided us with tools such as inner engineering  and akashic records. Similarly being aware and appreciative of the new dimension (which is physical in nature) , The digital space (*Space is referred to as a new dimension or a new environment.) can bring huge benefits to our life  in terms of personal growth and prosperity. Knowledge of the tools to access the digital space and learn to communicate with the world effectively  is Digital Marketing. I feel this is an immense possibility for all of us into tap into this digital intelligence and be creative with it to gain the best out of it, as it is connected to the most basic skill that we possess as a social beings , which is the inherent need to communicate and guide each other towards the best available for the wellbeing of each other :)



Hope you liked this point of view, Ill be be back with something new....take care :)

How Spiritual Science can help us in daily life?

Hi All,

Its been a while that I wrote my last post....actually was going through some important change and I am very happy today to share it with all of you. Hope this helps each one of you who read this post.
To understand how Spiritual Science can help us in our daily life, let me introduce you to a term 'Akasha'.

What is Akasha? 

I got introduced to the word 'Akasha' (means ether and not space) through Sadhguru as it is one of 5 elements (earth, water, air, fire and akasha) that our human body is made up of. Please check this video and understand that out of the 5 elements which our human body is made up of 'Akasha' is the Most Mystical and one cannot explain it fully as what it is! But it is defined as a subtle dimension/substance of this life. Akasha is also referred to a marvelous resource of intelligence , a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom that resides inside each one of us.

Now , when you know this.......the next question is



Is there a way in which I can get access to Akasha?

As i read and saw videos of Sadhguru regarding Akasha, I was more interested about this mystical dimension ... I had heard this term in past but until last few days was never curious about Akashic records. I thought it didnt belong to me  until i met a friend who is a Akashic record reader and a life coach. I then bumped in to the first person who shared the science of looking into and reading your Akashic Records, Linda Howe. I now understand that there is a process in which once can be aware of akasha and also learn a way in which one can access it. Please see the video through which Linda explains through a certain process of accessing your akashic records.

How to use science of Akashic records to guide us in our daily life.

I have practiced the practice shared by Linda and I can feel something which i cannot explain in this post......also it is only now that I am introduced to this science and I canot comment how it is imprtant to me unless i practice it just like 'Shambhavi Mahamudra' that I practice regularly (most of the times with exceptions.. :))

So to conclude thanks to masters like Sadhguru and Linda Howe I am now aware about the spiritual science that exists in each one of us and also how we can use it in our daily lives.


Namaskar ...

What we do not know about Spiritual Science?

Spiritual Science is not Objective Science! 

Yes you heard that right! We understand the word science in context with  Science and Technology which is a form of physical science or 'Objective Science'. Everything on this planet that we have experienced is of physical nature and the science to understand all that is on planet earth and around it is physical science. The manifestation of physical science is technology (a tool to access the physical science , like electricity or internet)




So What is Spiritual Science? 
We as human beings are enjoying the benefits of objective science and have given huge importance to it in our lives.But have we must realize that we till date have not understood ourselves fully no matter how much we understand the physical body. If we look closely and pay attention to this human body as a life form it is still very mysterious and if we ask ourselves honestly, we can say to some extent that we really dont know what we are as beings and why we are like this!!!! The science to experience the possibility of what we are can be only perceived if we look inward and thus it is Subjective Science. 

Spiritual gurus like 'Sadhguru' are essentially scientists of the Subjective Science and who have developed technologies (manifestation of Subjective Science )like "Inner Engineering "  and kept it open source for all of us to experience and experience only! This Science cannot be understood like the objective science and needs ones willingness to open up to this possibility and experience it and bring it to our lives, without compromising to enjoy all the benefits of Objective Science.


Its time we Open up and accept and appreciate the Subjective Science as equally as we have been accepting objective science .....:)

What is my purpose in this Life?

What is my Purpose? 

I am sure all of us have this question running in our minds 'What we can do with this Life?' OR What is my purpose in this life? I want to keep it very small and simple. Also I would like to say that all of this that i write is inspired from Sadhguru.


We always want  to be happy! :) 

We always want to blossom as a lotus flower but sometimes we get bogged down or get depressed with the surrounding atmosphere. We may feel great in our good times but not so good when we are going through tough situations.

The only solution to this dilema is to be on a path where you are aware about yourself and working towards accessing the unkwown dimension. Sadhguru says, By doing so we will always be the lotus however filthy (not so good ) the external environment is.

The new dimension could be only accessed through Yoga and meditation . Yoga means to be in Union with everything in this world.

Accepting Meditation as a Science Nothing else! 

I have been practicing 'Shambhavi Maha Mudra' a meditation tool / technology designed by Sadhguru for Inner Well being through a program called Inner Engineering and helps me deal better with my day today life. It is difficult to articulate but it just opens up something in me that makes ma happy and more aware about my day today activities. There are lot of people all across the world reaping benefits from the practice.

So what we can do with this Life and what is our purpose? I feel we should first start to look within to get  more clarity within to continue operating in the world outside. May be there is no external thing/ cause  which we currently are searching to make our purpose. We are a privileged generation who can access the tools designed by gurus like Sadhguru and get more clarity in our inner self and get our unsolved answers....

Why we want to know about Spirituality ?

What is Spirituality?

Hi All,

Yes. Exactly this is what I have been thinking for last few years and then one fine day I got introduced to Sadhguru an established Yogi.

 

With whatever learning I have had through the 'Inner Engineering Program of Isha Foundation' and watching Sadhguru's youtube videos, I feel that we human beings are not confined to this body and the mind that we possess. There is another dimension that we can experience in this life time. The awareness of this fact is Spirituality.

Well, coming back to main question 'Why we want to know about spirituality?' I personally feel we as human beings will always desire to know what is unknown especially knowing that there is a possibility of something mysterious existing within us makes us all the more inquisitive to know about it.


Hope to share more on this blog.


Wish you all well being
