Ācārya Umāsvāmī’s Tattvārthasūtra : With Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi

By: Vijay K Jain

This profound treatise leads the reader to the path to liberation. The path consists in right faith, right knowledge and right conduct, together.

The term ‘knowledge’ is to be taken with each kind mentioned in the sūtra – sensory knowledge, scriptural knowledge, clairvoyant knowledge, telepathic knowledge and perfect knowledge (omniscience). That which reflects on the objects-of-knowledge through the senses and the mind, or that through which the objects-of-knowledge are reflected upon, or just reflection, is sensory knowledge....

The Mother of Knowledge is ‘Understanding’ (Guj. Dadavani September-2018)

By: Dada Bhagwan

The mother of Gnan is understanding and that understanding can be attained from the Gnani Purush. Understanding means Darshan. All You actually have to do is understand the Science. As the understanding sets in, One begins to become steady as the Self. After attaining Gnan, the veils over the Self break and the doership leaves. All the causes have dissipated, now only these effects remain. How are those effects to be suffered? For that, understand this Science! In this very lifetime, it is possible to stop the wrong conduct by developing Your understanding through Gnan. The Gnani Purush is considered the Lord of the three worlds, so what cannot be achieved there? Therefore, You should understand everything from the Gnani Purush. It is our ardent prayer that by undertaking this Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self) of understanding the Science, mahatmas can climb the ladder of attaining the state of experience of the Self. ...

Chained Clouds: A Last Day Before Suicide/ Planned Suicide: A few pages from last day of a personal Journal

By: Alan A. Quinn

This document was written on Sept 2, 2018 when I was in lowest point of my life. I had decided to commit suicide. My suicide would have or have not been occurred on Sept 3 2018. But I have made a choice not to alter any portion of this text. I am posting it on Sept 2 2018. I believed it to be necessary to communicate this to others in case it helps anyone who might be in similar situation. It might be comforting to some....

The Experiment of the Mirror Samayik (Guj. Dadavani August-2018)

By: Dada Bhagwan

In Akram Vignan, the Self and the non-Self is separated through the Gnan (the Knowledge of the Self). A line of demarcation has been drawn between the two, which remains in the form of a conviction. Now, when can One experience separation from the self, from Chandubhai? In order for the separation to prevail with Chandubhai, the process of conversing with Chandubhai has definitely been proven effective; and in order to take this process to the level of experience, Dadashri has given a unique experiment in detail and that is of the mirror samayik (introspective analysis as the Self). The Self is like a mirror. Just like external things ‘reflect’ in a mirror, in the same way, the universe ‘reflects’ within the Self as well. Now, by understanding the mirror-like intrinsic functional properties of the Self, the experiment to see Chandubhai separate in the mirror, is a unique discovery by Dadashri. Dadashri says, “Just like when you are closely observing others; in the same way You should closely observe Chandubhai.” After seating Chandubhai in front of the mirror, you should tell him about as many mistakes as you can see for an hour, th...

The Cockatiel Confessions and Other Collected Short Stories

By: Ms. Lavanya Srinivasan

The hilarious exploits of a domesticated cockatiel and an oft-forgotten yet faintly remembered celestial journey. A young woman trades away her life credits while a mother elsewhere gently chides her young son. What could possibly happen when a tribal chieftain meets a time traveler? What on earth is a wribulizer and why is the moon actually blue! How does an up-and-coming writer deal with the terror of murderous thugs ransacking her home while her scientist brother vanishes after leaving her with a secret formula? What is the connect between a golden apple tree and an old man tending to his potted plant? To enjoy all of these tales and more, read on!...

" I don’t remember when I was born or how many times I was transported before I first saw “Chirp”, my human and her mate “Chirp-chirp”. I have heard it said before by Fuff-fuff, the resident sage of my first non tree nest (a yellow-red mishmash of colours and an upturned beak) that first impressions are often the truest but I have to admit, my first peek at Chirp and Chirp-Chirp was not positive." ****************************************************************************** " As my journey continued, I remembered how, I too, had once been worshipped and deemed important enough to be tracked in the ancient texts and star calendars. I had witnessed the birth of their saviour and the magi who had divined his birth by tracking my journey. The huge monuments that was raised in the honour of false gods and eschewed later. As centuries passed and their artificial lights lit up their homes, the humans now had the audacity to transmit probes and crafts for intercepting me. What had happened to their awe and their respect? Yet, I felt myself growing smaller and feebler on every journey past as I lose a little bit of my strength and...

Sincerity with the goal of becoming free (Guj. Dadavani May-2018)

By: Dada Bhagwan

How can you remain sincere to Dada? By following the Agnas. The Agnas are actually a great thing. With the grace and the Agnas of the Gnani Purush, and your sincerity towards your goal, everything can change. You should put into application whatever Dada says, you should not keep a single opinion that differs from Dada. Sincere does not mean ‘without mistakes’; rather a sincere person has unity of heart, he does not allow separation to arise [with the other person]. However much sincerity one has towards Dada, that much grace is bestowed upon him. Sincerity and morality are the causes that lead one to moksha. There is no need to put in any efforts for this at all; through understanding, one simply has to make his resolve strong. In the current compilation, Dadashri has given various explanations on how mahatmas can remain sincere to the Gnan and progress speedily. ...

Repay the Obligation of Your Parents by Serving Them (Guj. Dadavani April-2018)

By: Dada Bhagwan

First comes, serving your mother and father, they are the ones who have given birth to you, then comes the service to your guru. They have obliged you since childhood by suffering many difficulties, and yet they have raised you, educated you and instilled moral values in you. One should never overlook the humility and reverence for them in this entire life. A huge gap has formed between the old generation and the new generation. The elderly cannot let go of their old-fashioned ways, while the new generation does not understand their pain, and as a result, the distance increases between them. To serve your mother and father, to respect them and to please them, this foundation is required for spiritual progress. Your worldly interactions towards them should be ideal .While explaining the importance of serving one’s mother and father, Dadashri says, “The Vitaraag Lords and many saints have also served their mothers and fathers, up until the end.” ...

Gnani Purush - Part 1 (Gujarati)

By: Dada Bhagwan; Deepakbhai Desai, Editor

To meet a Gnani Purush (Self-Realized One), and to access their spiritual power to achieve spiritual enlightenment, is extremely rare. One such Gnani Purush of recent time is Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan. The book “Gnani Purush – Part 1”, describes his early childhood life before he attained spontaneous Self Realization. He went through the same incidents that we have all gone through, but what he learnt from each incident and how he tackled every problem he faced, is described in this book....

Who Am I (Bengali)

By: Dada Bhagwan; Deepakbhai Desai, Editor

Who hasn’t asked themselves what there is to life beyond just living? What is true purpose in life? There must be higher purpose than just living… In the book “Who am I?”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan describes that one’s ultimate life purpose is to find an answer to the age-old unanswered question of spiritual seekers: Who am I, and who is the ‘doer’ of all that happens in life? Dadashri also resolves questions such as: “What is the nature of the journey of souls?”, “How was the world created?”, “How to find God?”, “How can I experience my own pure Soul?”, and “What is liberation?” Ultimately, Dadashri describes that attaining knowledge of Self is the primary purpose of life, and the beginning of true spirituality. Having gained Self knowledge, spiritual development begins, after which one may attain ultimate liberation, or moksha. Among the many spiritual books available today, Dadashri’s “Who am I?” is an exceptional resource. ...

Atmaghati Nirad Choudhuri (আত্মঘাতী নীরদ চৌধুরী) : Suicidal Nirad C. Choudhuri: Suicidal Nirad C. Choudhuri

By: Dr. Dr. Radha Nag; Radha Nag

“Atmaghati Nirad Choudhuri” is a welcome answer to Nirad C. Chaudhuri's ‘Atmaghati Bangali’ and two-volume ‘Atmaghati Rabindranath’. In more than a decade since the publication of the first volume of this trilogy on the dire self-destruction of the Bengali people and their greatest poet Rabindranath Tagore, no Bengali has raised his voice against this charge - perhaps because it was framed by a Bengali who penned them in a respectable university town in England, clad in a Bengali dhoti, sitting on a Bengali mat. Radha Nag has used Nirad C. Chaudhuri's Bengali works to show that obscenities abound in them. The writer who held an honorary D.Litt. from Oxford, it seems, could not make his points without outraging the proverbial British sense of decency. Chaudhuri the author, shows Nag, had been so trapped by Chaudhuri the man that he often makes unseemly self-revelations. And it may not be improbable that he was deliberately ribald to cater to popular tastes. Nag's book is written in a delightfully ironic style and if she's sometimes hard on Chaudhuri, she has been so for the sake of truth. ...

The Siddha Stuti Is for Attaining the Absolute (Guj. Dadavani December-2017

By: Dada Bhagwan

With the grace of absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan, followers have assuredly attained Self-realization. However, followers have attained this knowledge without discharging their karma, therefore the Self has not yet come into complete experience. If the Self is known & experienced completely then One himself is indeed God. In the middle portion of the Nischay-Vyavahar Charan Vidhi, the Vidhi for the Real and the relative, the Gnan sentences that contain ‘I am…’, such as, ‘I am full of infinite Knowledge, I am full of infinite Vision, etc. the Lord has referred to this as the Siddha Stuti. It is considered the greatest samayik. Truly speaking, these properties should be recited every day, all day long. In the current compilation, absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan explains the importance of Siddha Stuti, how it should be done, so that the infinite properties of the Self manifest....

I Think I'd Better Think It Out Again

By: Brian E. R. Limmer

I-think-i'd-better-think-it-out-again is a revisiting of of my arrogant and dogmatic youth in the light of mellowing ageing. It is 'a turning out of clutter in my shed'- a review of all the things I stored away in my Theology degree. It is based on a relationship with a creator God which began in my young days and has continued through the mellowing years of insight. Coming from a lifelong engineering bias, it is what I call an engineering review of the situation. I told one or two people I would write a theological book from an engineering point of view and I could see them scratch their heads as to what I meant. An engineer is someone who thinks from outside the box based on what he or she knows goes inside it. I realized I was biased toward engineering when, as a child, my parents asked why I had to take everything apart? I could not look at a clock accepting it told the time, I needed to know how it knew and how it expressed its understanding of time. Taking it apart did not alter the nature of time, nor did it take away the knowledge that time exists. It simply examined the way a clock delivers its expression of time...

If I were to ask you to define the term god, I suspect any number of people might put this book straight back on the shelf. The clever Darwinian might answer, 'There is no such thing as a god and therefore it cannot be defined'. The equally clever philosopher might readily explain, 'If we could understand god enough to define him we would be better than him and he would cease to be god'. The theologian, presupposing the existence of a god might argue 'We can observe some characteristics but never completely define Him'. Mankind has debated god from his earliest reasoning. Cave drawings allude to such. One, found in the cavern known as 'The Sanctuary', was drawn around 13,000 BC. Looking more like a devil than a god, it is an early evidence of mankind recognizing 'a higher power'. Certainly, by the Babylonian era, the idea of higher powers was well documented....

Towards Vitaraagta as Opinions Departure (Hindi Dadavani Sep-2017)

By: Dada Bhagwan

Due to merit karma of countless past lives, Akram Science is attained in this era of time cycle. One becomes aware that, ‘I am pure Soul,’ the conviction; awareness as the Self sets in; yet who obstructs experience of that state? The reason is one uses ‘inverted spectacles’ [seeing the relative] that are created from opinions & becomes bound to people, things circumstances. The only opinion one should have is, ‘This body is a betrayal.’ Even the slightest negative thought for the other person reaches him; then it develops further. There, shoot-on- sight pratikraman (to recall, apologize; resolve not to repeat a mistake) stops the vibrations from reaching the other person or it erases the ones that have reached. The moment it is erased, naturalness; spontaneity is noticeable in the speech & conduct with that person. This edition of Dadavani will help readers dissolve the veils of opinions in the form of ‘colored glasses’; progress on the path of liberation. ...
