Religion divides and humanity unites - Let's get back to basics

Religion divides and humanity or spirituality unites. Recently released Hindi movies 'Oh my God' and 'PK', Marathi movie 'Deul' presented this concept through beautiful stories. Marathi movie showcasing life of great social worker 'prakash baba amate' has one scene where he says that mi “tula manat nahi re tuzyamule loka ekmekanchya jivavar uthatat ani ekmekanpasun duravatat”.

These movies and some of bestselling books of new age spiritual leaders remind me of teachers who give helpless look to their students struggling to solve complicated mathematics or accounts problem and say "hey you need to get back to your basics. Tell me what a basic rule is!”

In 21st century we all are fighting among ourselves to prove our version of God or method of worshiping superior over other. There is race among different religions; within the religions there is race among castes or sub castes to prove how their path is correct; even within a caste there are differences among families and everyone tries to prove how rituals or customs followed by them are the perfect.

We all need break and we all need to go back to basics.

So just for a while let's keep aside our ego and religious philosophies and go back to an era where human race has just evolved on Earth planet. What did our great ancestors do?

Everything was new and there was lot to explore. Intuitions or inner wisdom was guide and experience was teacher. They hunt for food, learnt which plants are edible which are not; developed art of farming; learnt about climate; learnt properties of natural elements water, air, fire; developed cooking methods; learnt to build shelters; leant that some animals can be reared and can be of domestic help; learnt to protect themselves from wild animals etc. Human race was evolving at different part of the world. Their lives were completely aligned with nature. Food habits, clothing, shelter, daily routine or activities were purely based on the demands of geographic and climatic conditions.

At that time they all were just human beings. Co-operation, curiosity and alignment with nature were key to their progress.

At that time they all had acute understanding of life, had unwavering faith in God. For them God meant one supreme power or creator of this universe. They knew that they are originally souls now experiencing physical bodies and exploring physical world on Earth. They knew that this opportunity is a gift from God. This opportunity to experience life is the opportunity for their souls to grow or evolve.  That’s why everyday was a celebration, celebration of their existence, for getting this opportunity, to experience glory of creator. 

Languages, numbers, all forms of art, technology and sports got developed later. Rather we classified our understanding about environment around us as science, mathematics, geometry, history, arts etc etc. 

Religions, caste, sub castes, rituals were developed later. Pls remember all saints or God ot Goddesses that we worship now had existed on earth 1000 of years a go. They reached highest level of spiritual development and was successful in decoding science or secrets of universe.

They never claimed themselves to be Hindu Muslim Christian Jews...these were just spiritual leaders and then followers labelled it as a particular religion. It was not leaders or God or saints who competed or felt need to prove their superiority over others...but their Followers felt it...!!!

All these leaders were just guiding humanity to right path. Their teachings neither got passed on to subsequent generation in right way nor interpreted in correct way.

So before we fight over rituals, traditions, religion we need to get back to our basics...and it is very simple....before we condemn other person based on his cast culture ...go back few thousands year a back....it could happen your and other person's great great ancestors living happily together hunting food and learning about life. 

We all have same roots. :)

What kind of sportsmen/women you are! Numerology perspective !

Every number defines characteristics of our personality and it reflects in whatever we do in our life. During school and college days I was into competitive swimming.  I am now into coaching. While coaching, numerologist in me keep analyzing how numbers are influencing behavior of my swimmers. This is real fun and I enjoy thoroughly. Birthdate number and life path number are key numbers having major influence on any individual. First calculate your birthdate number and life path number and then read explanation given below for these two numbers. e.g. Birth date is 22 nd Dec 1985 22 nd reduced to single digit will be 2+2 =4.

December stands for 12, when reduced to single digit becomes 3 (1+2=3) Year 1985 when reduced to single digit becomes 5 (1+9+8+5=23, 2+3 = 5) Life path number = birthdate no + month no + year no...

My Experience of Akashic Record

In the year 2006 I was pursuing MBA first year. One day I had terrible fight with my hostel roommates. I had been falsely accused of breaking rules. Though few days later everyone apologized, that day was spent in extreme agony triggering all painful memories hidden deep inside my soul.  That night lying on my bed, looking at the crescent moon through a window, I was weeping with rage. My mind was rapidly recalling all repressed awful memories. All challenges, humiliation, insults, and failures I had faced since childhood. All situations where I had to suffer either as a result of my own mistakes / weaknesses or because of someone else's fault. Faces of all those people who hurt me were popping up in my mind…those who had made fun of me, those who thought I am incapable of achieving anything in life, those who were pretending to be well wisher but had other hidden agenda etc etc First time I was not only upset wit...
