Shri Krishna mentions about Kundalini shakti & awakening in The Bhagavad Geeta I shall now declare unto thee, O Best of the Bharatas (Arjuna), the path, traversing which at the time of death, yogis attain freedom; and also the path wherein there is rebirth. Fire, light, daytime, the bright half of the lunar month, the six months of the northern course of the sun—pursuing this path at the time of departure, the knowers of God go to God. —The Bhagavad Gita VIII:23-24 These mysterious stanzas, woefully misinterpreted by nearly all…

The Purpose of Life by Paramahansa Yogananda The purpose of life is to ascend the six spinal centers, reinforcing the human consciousness progressively with greater and greater lights, until it is able to unite with the all-pervading, thousand-rayed brilliance in the highest center in the brain.

Esoteric texts & the evolution of Planet Earth: Continental Drift or Plate Tectonics Continental drift is the movement of the Earth’s continents relative to each other, thus appearing to “drift” across the ocean bed. The speculation that continents might have ‘drifted’ was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. Ever heard of Plate Tectonics ? The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth’s mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere. Developed from the 1950s through the 1970s, plate tectonics is the modern version of continental drift, a theory first proposed…

Kudos to the Bihar Warriors, Indian Army. Hi folks, If you have been following my write-ups closely, you will certainly know about my feelings regarding Indian Army! Yup, I loved my Army upbringing…still love it! In fact if I am to segregate my life in the caterpillar-cocoon-butterfly phases – then I would say that the first 18 years of my caterpillar life was spent in the Army feeding on the lushious greenery (Indian Army is all green you see)! And …well right now, I still am in my cocoon –…

Punjab has a very special significance in my life! Hi Folks, In this post I am going to relate some observations that I made on my own life. The significance of Punjab in my life!
