Those seeking to lead a spiritual life may become curious as to what is ahimsa (non violence), and inspired to practice it. But understanding how to live in non violence is not as simple as it seems, and practicing no violence in daily life can quickly become bewildering. To someone just beginning to cultivate non-violence, daily interactions might even begin to feel like the very definition of conflict! In the book “Non-Violence”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers key understanding on how to define ahimsa (non violence) and how to avoid kashaya (internal self harm). Dadashri explains that kashaya is at the root of self harming, unhealthy relationships, and violence. Here, he teaches how to live in peace, offering profound knowledge of non violent communication, conflict resolution skills, and conflict management strategies. His spiritual teaching on how to resolve conflict - or to avoid it altogether - is offered in the context of common and everyday relationship challenges. For anyone with the intent to practice non-violence - whether wondering how to deal with negative people and difficu...

In the arena of spirituality, there are unique and remarkable spiritual people who have achieved the highest levels of spiritual development. Some remain in seclusion, while others become spiritual teachers who support the spiritual transformation of humanity. But to meet a Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge), and to access their spiritual power to achieve spiritual enlightenment, is extremely rare. One such Gnani Purush of recent time is Dada Bhagwan. The book “Autobiography Of Gnani Purush A.M.Patel”, compiled from transcribed satsangs, describes his own process of instant enlightenment in his own words. Before achieving sudden enlightenment, Dadashri had led a spiritual life of tremendous spiritual awareness. Nonetheless, his spiritual awakening and his ability to bestow Self realization upon others, is remarkable and fascinating. In the context of his own spiritual biography, Dadashri reveals the science of Self realization, describing how one can attain knowledge of Self and, thereafter, ultimate liberation, or moksha. Whether on a spiritual quest to discover what is spiritual enlightenment, or to lear...

Every human being is living life but how much humanity does it entail? Being born, becoming educated, working, getting married, having kids, having a family and at the end… dying! Is this the standard cycle of life that one has to follow? What is the ultimate goal of life? Why do we have to take birth? What do we want? We have received a human body so it is our duty to be humane. There should be humanity in life. But what is humanity? According to Param Pujya Dadashri, the Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One). The definition of humanity is that when someone hurts you, troubles you, you don’t like it. Hence, you should not do the same to anyone. That, according to Him, is the biggest humanity. Whoever understands this and applies it in life knows what humanity is. Getting a human body means one is free to bind karmas that will lead them to the four life forms. From the human form you can again be born in the human form, or be born in the celestial form, or in the animal form and lastly you can be born in hell. Whatever are the causes so are the effect. If we show humanity, we will get a human body in next birth. If we ...

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their pursuit of spirituality and practice. As spiritual development progresses, facing one’s faults, failures, and unintentional mistakes can become disconcerting – even for the most sincere seeker. One may then ask, “What are the benefits of the different types of religion? From the many religions of the world, which practices will accelerate my spiritual growth and help me learn how to become more spiritual?” While exploring world religion, or studying religious books, questions might also arise, such as: “In actuality, what is religion, or what is spirituality? Is it to live in non violence, to live in peace, or to embody unconditional love? How to live exactly?” In the book “The Essence of All Religion”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan clarifies any confusion about religion vs. spirituality, providing answers to the above questions and more. Dadashri then offers the essential extract of spiritual science and religion in the form of Nine Kalams (highest spiritual intents). He explains that the Nine Kalams are the essence ...

For anyone wondering what is spiritual enlightenment, it is essential to learn of the 24 Tirthankaras of the past, and Tirthankaras of the present. In previous eras, it was possible to achieve instant enlightenment simply from meeting a Tirthankara. At present, such sudden enlightenment is not possible here on earth. In the current era, if one is seeking spiritual awakening, one can search for spiritual teachers, with hopes of understanding the meaning of spirituality and achieving spiritual transformation. But to attain Self realization one must meet a living Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge). A living Gnani has the spiritual power both to give spiritual enlightenment, and to connect one with living Tirthankaras of the present, such as Simandhar Swami of Mahavideh Kshetra. In the book “The Current Living Tirthankara Shree Simandhar Swami”, Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan offers spiritual guidance about Self realization, and how best to cultivate a connection with Simandhar Swami for the sake of ultimate liberation, or moksha. Whether on a spiritual quest to attain knowledge of Self, or simply to discover the high...

Among the world’s richest people, who are the richest people in the world? Those with a spiritual code of ethics (highest ethics and values, and ethical behavior). In the book “The Science of Money”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan explains the spiritual science behind Money and it’s use. He describes that one’s ethical values create a spiritual balance sheet, influencing one’s financial balance sheet. Dadashri offers in-depth answers to questions such as: “How would a spiritual teacher define business ethics? “In financial dealings, which moral ethics are to be followed?” “Among the ways to get rich, is it true that the simplest means is by giving away money?” “Why is it helpful to donate to charity, and what are the reasons to make an anonymous donation?” “Of the many charities to donate to, what are the best charities to donate to?” Among the myriad of spiritual books available today, it is rare to find spiritual guidance related to the use of money. For learning the hidden principles that govern one’s ultimate balance sheet (what one leaves behind or takes with him when he dies), ...

There are times in life when we must endure suffering due to no fault on our part – or so it seems. Life circumstances can appear terribly unjust. Naturally we question, “Why me? Am I wrong? It’s not my fault!” Or we witness others suffering injustice, and are left wondering, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Added to the many problems in everyday life, these situations can feel like the very definition of suffering. We may conclude that there is no God, question how to get inner peace - or even how to live through such trying circumstances. In the book “Whatever Has Happened Is Justice”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan offers spiritual guidance on how to resolve conflict of injustice inherent in life. Among the myriad of spiritual books available, Dadashri offers a unique resource – he provides profound insight into the law of karma, explaining who is “The Doer”, who is at fault, and what is the cause behind every instance of suffering. To attain an inner state of no worry, to begin to live in peace, or even to learn how to stay healthy amidst life challenges, this book will prove an...

Life requires continuous adjustment in relation to unpleasant and unfavorable circumstances. In everyday situations (such as opening an umbrella in the rain, or wearing a jacket in the cold) we generally don’t resist these required adjustments. However, when dealing with difficult people, facing unhealthy relationships, in family relationships, or in the midst of marriage problems, adjustments become increasingly difficult. Some of our relationships could even be said to be the very definition of conflict! We ask ourselves, how can we possibly adjust in these emotionally-challenging situations?

In moments of reflection, it is only natural to wonder what is the true purpose in life and to ask, behind the constant efforts made just in “living”, what is it that we are seeking? In the book “Self Realization”, Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge) Dada Bhagwan reveals the science of Self realization, describing that attaining knowledge of Self is ultimate life purpose, and is the beginning of lasting, permanent happiness. Pujya Dadashri explains that all beings continuously seek happiness – but can only be satisfied by spiritual happiness beyond the fleeting temporary pleasures of life. Becoming Self realized is a spiritual awakening which allows such happiness to begin to be experienced – because true happiness, or bliss, lies within the Self itself. Having gained Self knowledge, spiritual development and spiritual awareness begin - initiating a spiritual transformation which can result in ultimate liberation, or moksha. Whether interested to discover ultimate life purpose, wanting to learn the true meaning of spirituality, or on a spiritual quest to attain Spiritual Enlightenment, “Self Realization” is a ...

The booklet ‘EcoDesign at Philips Consumer Electronics (PCE), 1993-2008, the Reverse Perspective’, described the development of EcoDesign in this division of the Philips concern. The introduction process was summarized in a model consisting of five ‘waves’. Some fifty short stories illustrating these developments were presented as well. This material represents a set of experiences of which many elements are still relevant today for practitioners of applied EcoDesign and for environmental managers wanting to introduce EcoDesign in their organizations. Soon after the publication of the booklet, the question came up why the developments as described happened as they did? Most research/academic literature describe how EcoDesign should be introduced in industrial organizations in a way quite different from what happened at PCE. Is PCE a special case, or is a different approach required for the implementation of EcoDesign in the electronics industry? And how can EcoDesign be introduced much faster than the 10 years it took at PCE to reach maturity? In this new publication, the events at PCE are also put into a more general perspective:...

"Legislation and regulation are necessary to put environmental issues which are seen as societally relevant on the agenda and to ensure a minimum of environmental performance by industry.

Madam Amanda Valiant was offering the information in this book as a correspondence course but she passed to the highest realms whilst working on the monthly lessons. Each of the sixteen lessons has formed the content of a different chapter in the book that was completed by Alan Valiant, Amanda's husband. Amanda and Alan, after developing a unique method of communication with the spiritual world, were spoken to by the Lord God and Jesus Christ and were subsequently able to talk to them at any time. Many people believe that God is unapproachable, but if He spoke to people in biblical times, why should He have stopped in modern times? The fact is He has NOT! Unlike most mediums, Amanda was able to discuss any subject with her spiritual advisors using our advanced techniques. Scripts by God, Jesus Christ, Moses, Ezekiel, and many other High Spiritual Beings were received by spirit writing, usually called automatic writing but which is not automatic as it originates in the mind of the communicant and is received by telepathy. Moses, now a Gardener of The Earth, gives ten rules for modern living, Jesus Christ explains his disappearance af...
