Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Dear Members, Thanks for accepting my membership, though I do not know ABC of astrology, I do not know how the mail had come to my inbox to join the group. However I will be posting certain articles on Spirituality only, which may help our astrologers and earnest members to pursue more on the subject.Hope my postings 1. Enrich my spiritual journey, 2. Enrich my members, 3. My nation 4. World at large. Radhe Krishna Ravishankar.G What is spirituality and spiritual path? How can I continuously progress on this path? Reply from our Guru: The question about “Spirituality” might have arisen because you might have heard about it from someone or read about it in a book. If you look at everything - from the tiny ant to Lord Brahma seek bliss. The lower creatures try to find this bliss in the fulfillment of the primitive desires like appetite, lust etc. As human beings who possess the sixth sense, we try to find ways to make everything more comfortable and pleasurable. When we extend this thought to death, the question arises as to what died - the body or the soul? What is this entity ‘I’? Is it the body? When we point to our shirt and say ‘this is my shirt’, we automatically admit that the shirt is different from us. Likewise when we say " this is my hand " the automatic inference is that 'I' is not the hand. So what is this ‘I’? It is something beyond the body or the mind. It is the soul or the ‘Atman’. That is our natural Self. When a swelling appears on our hand, though that does not bother us in any way, we still want that swelling to be removed just because we want things to look the way they originally were. Resetting things back to the original state itself is a great bliss. We have altered our state from our original blissful self to such a great extent due to our ignorance. To reset things back to normalcy by realizing our true blissful nature is spirituality. Spirituality is not something alien to us. It is not going to fall from the sky one fine day. It is merely to realize our true nature which is the state of supreme bliss. To attain that supreme state of realization, the simplest way is to chant the Hare Rama Maha Mantra. By chanting this mantra, you please Sri Krishna and he blesses you with that supreme state of bliss.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Dear Gopal ji, This is an astrology group, and not a spirituality group. Of course spirituality is a lone path - and everyone is alone in that journey and should be.
