How I became a Brahmin

 How I became a Brahmin

With no doubt I declare my-self as Brahmin [in-progress]. As a matter of fact, I belong to the backward caste (OBC) as per the Indian caste system. This is a story about how one from a backward or scheduled caste can also become a Brahmin.

Since my childhood I cultivated a kind of habit which Brahmin’s do in India. After my college days and later I realized soul can get birth in any place, but everyone is eligible to practice Brahmin rituals. Please have patience to get lights on my interesting story…

Before I go to my story… Here is the Sri Krishna thought on caste system, unfortunately Indian political system suppressed these core facts. As per my Brahmin Friend every individual has eligibility to practice Brahmin rituals.

Lord Krishna speaks to Arjuna as he clarifies the origin and purpose of the caste system in sanatana dharma.

The four-fold order was created by Me according to the divisions of quality and work. Though I am its creator..

Cāturvarṇyaṃ: the four-fold order. The four varnas are named - Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra. They constitute the four-fold order. The three gunas - sattva, rajas and tamas - and the law of karma - these four elements were divided by Me to create the four varnas.

·        Sattva guna predominates in Brahmins - and they are assigned the tasks (karma) of sham, dam, tapas (meditation) etc.

·        Rajas guna predominates in Kshatriyas - sattva guna is secondary. Their karma is to be warriors and show bravery and tejas.

·        Rajas guna also predominates in Vaishyas - tamas guna is secondary. Their karma is to be farmers and traders.

·        Tamas guna predominates in Shudras - rajas guna is secondary. Their karma is to serve others.

The emphasis is on guna (aptitude) and karma (function) and not on jaati (birth). The varna or the order to which we belong is independent of sex, birth or breeding. A varna is determined by temperament and vocation - not by birth or heredity. 

According to the Mahabharata, the whole world was originally of one class but later it became divided into four divisions on account of the specific duties. (Ref: https://www.eaglespace.com/spirit/gita_castesystem.php)

Let me come back to my story, how I became Brahmin. This is my pure personal experience, not influenced by any belief systems or books.

In my opinion Gayatri Mantra is the most powerful mantra among all other mantras in the Ancient Indian Spiritual Science. This was discovered by Brahmarshi Vishwamitra.

Since my childhood I'm very keen in understanding and learning about our devotional and spiritual science. I'm a very practical person, simply don't believe things based on others beliefs.

How I discovered this power of Gayatri Mantra:

In 2015, I accepted Yajnopavita to practice Brahmin’s ritual in a more systematic way. I was travelling using office cab, there were few Brahmin colleagues who were discussing about the Upakarma that day - Full moon day (ನೂಲು ಹುಣ್ಣಿಮೆ),  one can exchange old Yajnopavita with new. That day with the guidance of my Brahmin friends I started practicing rituals which Brahmin’s do. SandhyaVandana and Other Pooja practices.

Yagnopavita comprises of 3 threads (for bachelors) and 6 threads (for married person). After wearing this suddenly I noticed there is a change in my alertness and awareness. And Yajnopavita became a reminder for me to follow the SandhyaVandana without fail. I started practicing this 2 times a day, immediately after taking bath. Especially I take cold water bath in the evening.

Since the beginning, I continued practice of this SandhyaVandana, agnihotra [Agnihotra I do occasionally] I have experienced greater levels of awareness, great health. Also noticed an enhancement in my consciousness.

How strictly I followed SandhyaVandana:

This practice I never missed, all 365 days I'm taking cold water bath [in evening]. Since I work in corporate [Software profession], sometimes I reach home at night 11pm, 12am and so on. Never skipped doing this.

Sometimes after a friend's party or office party and get together, I have reached home at 1am or 2am, still I took a cold water bath and went to bed after finishing SandhyaVandana and Gayatri Mantra chanting.

In the year 2017, I went to Himalayas for Trekking. There people were scared to touch the water due to heavy cold. I took a cold water bath. (10500 feet above sea level) Everyone in my trekking team was shocked by looking at me.

Yes, truly the water was equivalent to ice, but my determination and discipline was bigger than that.

Before I took a bath, I just remembered our moola Guru's: Adi Shankaracharya, Acharya Madhwa, Ramanuja Acharya like - You great people travelled all parts of India and followed every discipline without fail, I'm doing the same with your inspirations, bless me.

Everyone in the Trek team was literally shocked, some of them asked, you don't want to go back? As you are taking such a risky attempt.

With this experience I can say our Babas living in Himalayas is true and they are divine flowers of India.

Practice of Gayatri Mantra:

There are so many customs for this, they are designed to help people to get enlightenment. Unfortunately, some people use those to escape from not doing, if we do, we need to do full else we should not do. This is making many people skip in the name of fear.

I don't get the logic here. Assume if you donate ₹1 you get some punya, if you donate ₹100 you get more punya. Similarly doing one Gayatri Mantra also brings benefits to you, if you do 108 times you get more benefits. Please don't skip in the name of number or rules or profession or place or time.

Some of them skip doing, if we do, we have to do at exact time, else we should not do. To pray to God every time is a good time. God will never decline your prayers due to timings.

So, Stop having fear… Here is an interesting story  Satan (devil) become jobless!?

Who is eligible to do this?

After practicing for a few days, I asked one of my other Brahmin friend, is it only reserved for the Brahmin community? He said, that is the most stupid thing people think. SandhyaVandana and Yagnopavita is for all. Anyone and everyone eligible to do this.

He is absolutely right. Unfortunately, in the name of cast and community we have limited our spiritual practices to few communities. Or else long back India would become a Viswa Guru [World teacher]. Now we are witnessing that western people [Europe and America, and so on] are following these practices. Remember, most of the western people are more practical, simply they don’t follow something, once they get to know its scientific values and powerful benefits they do follow and practice.

One good thing is if most of the educated people understand the benefits of spiritual science and promote this, we have a possibility to witness a close to extinct Brahmin community become a majority community in India and world. I’m saying this  without any selfishness, I want all to experience the real power of India's spiritual science.

Great thing is most of the Western countries are realising benefits of Indian Spirituality. As some of us have a habit of following the West, since they are doing it in a more disciplined way, soon our people will also follow them. There is a saying in Kannada. ಶಂಖದಿಂದ ಬಂದರೆ ನೇ ತೀರ್ಥ ಆಗೋದು  means: If water come from a conch then only it become Teertha (pure).

Did I become Brahmin? 

I’m on the way, sooner or later I will become a pure Brahmin. When I chit chat with my Brahmin friends, I usually say as I’m a converted Brahmin. They laugh at me and encourage my practice. 

Becoming Brahmin is power which is higher than any power in this world. That is what Sri Brahmarshi Viswamitra demonstrated to the world. I’m saying these things with my practical experiences. With this I noticed great health benefits (both mental and physical). It also increases our immunity and consciousness.

Everyone is eligible to become a Brahmin, thought of becoming Brahmin itself is a beautiful thought.

Final word: if you are wearing Yagnopavita and doing SandhyaVandana, please don't do it for sake of doing it. Do it with full awareness and alertness when chanting Gayatri Mantra and all. Else it will not be that effective. Doing one Gayatri Mantra with full awareness is more powerful than doing 100 with unconsciousness. Be conscious and practice chanting Gayatri Mantra to experience divine powers. Yagnopavita is a great help and it brings discipline into your life.

Power of LOVE

          Power of LOVE

When you are in full of love, you become totally lightweight. Power of gravity losses its capacity.

When you are making love with your partner, you both feel very lightweight. You jump and fly against the gravity, and that goes as easy as like a feather flying in air.

Ask people who play football or cricket, sometimes they fly in air in such a way that they themselves can't imagine it’s possible. It happened because of full involvement and love in the game they play.

When you are playing games you love and you are interested, you jump into the sky and you fly like a feather.

When you are in deep love and traveling, distance, duration, and feel is very short, light and joyful. Same distance, duration and feel becomes heavy, long and painful when you are not in love or lack of love.

Power of Love:

1. When you are in love with someone/something you eat less, still you don't feel hungry.

2. When you are doing work you love, you don't feel hungry and tired.

3. When you are in love with someone, you don't recognize how time is passing.

4. When you are doing something creative or loving your job, you don't recognize how time is passing.

5. When you are in love, most of the happenings in the world either go unnoticed by you or looks okay to you.

6. When you are in love, you become very courageous and you feel nothing is bigger than LOVE.

7. Love has no religion, no rules, no differentiation, it just happens.

8. Love happens by itself, it's impossible to make someone to love something or someone.

9. Love makes things beautiful, foods tasteful, and places peaceful.

10. Love is a language, it helps to connect hearts and nature.

11. Love is a source of courage, which can fight or withstand against the world.

12. Love is blind, it blinds the mind (blocks logical thinking and business thinking mind), and heart takes full in charge of it.

13. Love has no age, no time, no distance, it can happen in any age, at any time and with any distance, with anything or anyone.

14. Love is a dream and has capacity to make many dream to reality.

Being in love with someone, something and someway is the best way to keep yourself happy and healthy.

Most of the people are suffering because  of lack of love, so they don't like love, because they don't want someone to see with love, which they don't have.

Lack of love is a source of many psychological, physiological and criminal issues.

There are some proofs, that love even can extend the death. I have heard of it and many of you too might have heard as well, recently my close relatives grandfather expired. He had been hospitalized and doctors confirmed  that he can't live longer and  suggested for getting him discharged from hospital, but he was alive till his younger son came and saw/spoke to him, there are many real stories that have been proved, love has capacity to postpone the death.

Watch children play, they run, jump, dance and so on, they do this restlessly, they don’t know what is rest, even they forget to drink water and eat the food. But they don't get tired, they show great energy and their play is like feather movements under the fan/air blows. How this is possible? It's possible with love! They are in full of love with what they are doing. Whereas adults, they don't do anything, by sitting at one place or doing nothing they get tired and feel heavy, because they are with lack of love.

Love can make graveyard as a beautiful garden. If you are in lack of love, beautiful garden looks like a graveyard.

Jesus Christ and Satya Sai Baba realized the power of love, their work mainly focused on Love and nothing else.

If you are looking to enhance your will power and energy love, check where you are in the above table, if you are above the scale of 200 (Courage) your will power and energy levels are positive, most of the happenings in your life will be peaceful and joyful. If you are running any of the negative feelings like; shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, and pride, you will possibly experience more suffering and more troubles in life. To reduce negative energy or bring positive energy level greater than scale of 200, I recommend you to read the book: “The Magic“ By-Rhonda Byrne, practice the suggestions which are suggested in the book, that will help you to gain the higher energy levels.

We all need to learn and expand our love, beyond one person or one thing, like children. Loving everything and everyone kills all your desires/boredom and makes your life more beautiful than ever. Don't love only sun raise or sun sets, try loving sun in whole day. Similarly love everything you eat, smell, touch, and see. Try not to differentiate as this is good, that is bad. All the differentiation come from stored memories, mind, and belief system. If you start seeing things with no mind, you have less possibilities to hate many things in this world.

When you love the entire universe, tell me what can disturb you. Nothing can disturb the person, who is in love with everything and everyone and who likes and accepts universe’s actions and screenplays.

In love, biggest hurts looks very small, in hate or lack of love smallest hurt look big.

All boredom, all disinterest and all hate is causing just because; lack of love, if you are in love time passes in such a way; days, months, years, passes like a seconds. Children don’t get boredom only adults, because; adult are suffering from lack of love and lack of curiosity, that is the main reason they experience boredom and disinterest.

When you go to the restaurant to eat a food you love, you don’t mind to wait. When you are standing in a queue for movie ticket to watch your favorite stars movie, when you are waiting for a person you love, you are OK to wait for minutes or hours based on your love and its deepness/involvement. Similarly when you are driving in a road or using stairs if someone is troubling your way or waiting for a person you don’t like, in these situations; you don’t like delay of few seconds or waiting.

How to bring that back love:

• Stop doing things you think as important and serious, relax and stay calm. Stop all comparisons which make you feel jealous, angry or anxiety.
• Just start focusing on smallest happening in your surroundings; cloud movements, trees, birds, and insects, tap water flow, and so on. Watch closely and see there is no tension in them. They all are just cool, calm and normal.
• Stop criticizing, instead of that, understand the situation by getting into their shoes.
• Understand and accept, in this world all are unique in nature. Nothing is made for you, only machines can be possibly be made for someone or something, not the human beings.
• Realize that no one ever escaped from problems; Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, and so on. All must undergo the situations of life.
• Like day and night, good and bad comes and goes in life, so you must accept both.
• Try seeing beauty in everything you see, develop curiosity, and develop interest in nature and its happenings.
• See how wonderful this universe functions: with same sand, same water and  same climate, each plant is capable to produce different things; groundnut contains oil in seeds, sugar cane produces sugar, jasmine produces fragrance, flower plants produces different colour flowers, cotton plants produces cotton, and so on. Using same sand and water, if you try; you can’t produce/include - oil, sugar, fragrance, colour, cotton and so on. But nature has capacity to bring wonders.
• Spend time with nature, play with kids, sand and water
• Stop thinking about Money, Power and Position they kill all your love and bring restlessness in to your life.
• Spend time with parents, friends and relatives. Visit some new places.
• Help strangers, Love someone with no reason, and try loving the person you hate.

Love has capacity to increase your will power, being in bliss and love gives you stronger will power. If all things are going against your will and nothing is happening in your way is a sign that you are suffering from lack of love and happiness.

See yourself in a dead body!

See yourself in a dead body!

Kill your ego, kill your identity, and kill your all false Prestige, Power, Position and Perceptions. You don't know when you leave, why you leave and how you leave. If that day comes no doctor can save you, No medicine can protect you, and No Insurances can help you.

Don’t worry about your relationships, friends, parents, children, they will be alright! They will take care of themselves, they all are independent and self-sufficient. It’s a false assumption that they all are dependent on you.

Look at your neighbours, relatives, and surrounding families, many of them are losing their family members/relative, after 15 days to 1 month all things comes to normal, they started living their life as usual and  as normal as possible. It’s all your assumption that you are the need. But fact is nothing really matters.

Stop living busy life, start living meaningful life.

You come with no identity, leave with no identity. In between you struggle a lot to create your identity, unfortunately nothing stays on this Earth, one day everything washes away. Biggest mountains just lose their existence by one small earth quake or land sliding. What about your creation, it’s a dust on the earth, one small air blow will wash you away.

Life is a gift, Death is also a gift. Be ready to celebrate both. When you are ready to celebrate your death, what else can fear you, what else can shake you? You are immortal, every costume has expiry date, and you leave that and get into the other one.

Verses of Bhagavad Gita:

Vaasaamsi jeernaani yathaa vihaaya
Navaani grihnaati naro’paraani
Tathaa shareeraani vihaaya jeernaani
Anyaani samyaati navaani dehee

Just as a man giving up worn-out clothes and puts on new ones, in the same way the embodied Self (Soul) casts off worn-out bodies and verily accepts new bodies.

nainaṃ chindanti śastrāṇi nainaṃ dahati pāvakaḥ |
na cainaṃ kledayantyāpo na śoṣayati mārutaḥ 

The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind

jatasya hi dhruvo mrtyur
dhruvam janma mrtasya ca
tasmad apariharye 'rthe
na tvam socitum arhasi

For one who has taken his birth, death is certain; and for one who is dead, birth is certain. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.

Never stick to any costume, that is just a temporary, soul is permanent that has no identity, it has no beginning and no end.

Your life here is like an electric fan, it runs only with its power and has expiry date. Power in invisible, it has no identity, it has no beginning and no end. If one fan dies, it will supply same electric current to other fan. This body is temporary and like a fan and soul is permanent like an electric current.

Anything you do it has its expiry date. So there is one thing that stays longer than materials. Buddha, Jesus, Sai Baba, and many others found and preached that, that is Love and kindness. It has great power and that stays longer than the materials. To love someone and everyone you need a great courage, you should leave all your identity to express unconditional love and kindness to others.

Just assume your EGO is dead. See the world; it looks beautiful, tremendously wonderful, you have nothing to complain, nothing to criticize and nothing to finger point.

Once Ramanuja Acharya walking in the forest, he looked few Samadhi (The grave) and he stood there and prayed. All his disciples followed his guru and prayed. When all of them reached their Ashram, disciples asked Master. Why you prayed to those Samadhi, are those that important or special? Master replied as; we all need to learn from Samadhi when we were passing by, some kids where throwing stones at the Samadhi, some were offered flowers to them. They haven't reacted for both flowers and stone. Similarly we try to reach the Samadhi state, we should attain Nirvana State, and we express no reaction for pricings and scolding.

Verses of Bhagavad Gita:

duḥkheṣhv-anudvigna-manāḥ sukheṣhu vigata-spṛihaḥ

vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhaḥ sthita-dhīr munir uchyate

One whose mind remains undisturbed amidst misery, who does not crave for pleasure, and who is free from attachment, fear, and anger, is called a sage of steady wisdom.

Sthita prajña is a state of ego less. It's very important that one to reach the Samadhi state. That gives you greater joy and Great life.

Observe infants, they are the examples of state of Samadhi, you laugh or cry they just watch you. No comparison, no identification. They just treat all with the same love and respect. No discrimination, no ego, no attachment. For infants nothing look ugly they see beauty in everything.

Seeing beauty in everything is a state of no mind.

Unfortunately for most of the people, this beautiful world looks ugly and not interested in anything. Because they are not living in this world. They have built their own mind cage and they are living in that cage.      

  

80% of the people are suffering in this world are self-suffers, no one is physically harming them, by recalling negative thoughts, situations, and comparisons. Simply they are suffering. Situations happens only once, these people are calling them repeatedly every day and suffer.

It's difficult to delete mind. Because you are living in it. So you die before you really die. Mind also dies along with you. Later your life is like a Jesus, Budha, Mohammad, Mahaveer, Kabir, and so on.

You have all the capacity to become extraordinary, to achieve something in the physical world, your sense organs are required, based on its ability you achieve them. For material achievements not all are equally qualified, whereas to achieve in spirituality, all are equally qualified. Because it's nothing to do with your physical abilities and external sense organs. It's an inward journey. Close your external connection, connect to the internal world. It's an amazing journey.

Some of you are looking to start spiritual journey, please search YouTube/Google for videos or books of: Mooji, Shivani BK, Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru, Krishnamurti Jiddu, Sathya Sai Baba, Ramana Maharshi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Sri Aurobindo, Neem Karoli Baba, and Osho, Watch at least ten videos of each person or read one or two books about their teachings. Later chose one or two people; whom you are in sync with, watch more videos of their teachings or read more books of their teachings and with the regular practice of meditation. The day will come, when you have no questions in life. Every question of yours will be destroyed by your wisdom, before it appear in your mind/mouth, which is the right time to start moving inward... Happy Spiritual Journey.

How to reach GOD

How to reach GOD

We all know how to reach destinations, such as known places, stages, planets and so on. This is easy and doable, since it's visible to your 5 senses. God’s destination/place is unknown, s/he is not reachable to your 5 sense organs, so, 6^th or 7^th or N^th sense is needed to reach the God.

1. Some say God is everywhere.

2. Some say God is in Idols/Cross.

3. Some say God has no shapes.

4. Some say God does not exist.

Let us consider the above 3 points (4^th one mentioned below), I think all are right. So, why are they explained differently in different religions? Below is the answer:

Let's take it this way, Himalayan mountain is seen by many religions and enlightened persons as below:

1. Zoroastrianism see Himalayan from Afghanistan side it looks one way.

2. Christianity see Himalayan from China side, it looks other way.

3. Islam see Himalayan from Nepal side it looks different way.

4. Sikhism see Himalayan from Pakistan side it looks another way.

5. Hindu OR enlightened people see Himalayan from India side it looks totally different way.

Fact is, all have seen the same Himalayan mountain, whereas they have viewed or experienced in different ways, each religion or person have different opinions on the same subject/matter, but all are true.

To understand how all are same; you look at the Himalayan in Aerial view. You will realize all religion or enlightened people intention is same. But, message is conveyed differently. (Refer)

Why we have different rituals or discipline or prayers? Again, it's similar to having different wires to transmit electricity (copper, aluminum, steel, silver, gold, so on), all are doing the same job but metal used is different.

Or

It's like computer operating systems - Ubuntu, AIX, Linux, Unix, Windows, and DOS. All these operating systems help in operating machines, whereas commands and user interface is different. Similarly, browsers like Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and so on. Again, don't fight on which OS/Browser is great, all are not certified as 100% secured. Virus can pass through any OS or Any Browser.

For the above point 4, my explanation is simple; now you are reading this blog, which is created by me, so without the creator you can't see the creation, similarly this universe is a creation, we don't know who has created, that creator is called as God.

As Madhvacharya said, “The one who understands the atom, s/he can understand the universe”. till date our science has not completed research on understanding inner sides of the atom.

So how to reach the God?

As per Jaggi Vasudev(Sadhguru): If you can fill the love; for every breath you take, for every move you make, for every action you do. If you have amplified desire to immerse yourself into the everything that is surrounded by you. then creation itself take you to the creator(God).

Let's consider above Sadhguru words as eligible criteria to reach the God, what else need to be done?

Start doing your religious practices with full of consciousness and awareness, it will help you to reach the supreme consciousness. With that supreme consciousness, you will possible to get a clarity on atom. After getting the clarity on atom, you get clarity on universe, once you understand universe you will understand God.

Again, after you understand, you can't explain this to anyone. Reason; few things can be understood only by experience and cannot be explained. It’s like -

Assume you have tasted TEA, try to explain to someone who has never seen or tasted TEA.

you say it is sweet, he asks is it like honey?

you say it's different, he asks is it like a blackberry?

you say it's different, he asks is it like apple?

Later you say TEA has very good smell, he asks is it like Jasmine?

you say it's different smell, he asks is it like sandalwood, and so on.

The one who has experienced can say it's not that one, to the inexperienced person; he can't say it is that. Because other person has not reached the state of mind, to understand what you are saying about. It’s like teaching master degree subject to the 1^st standard student.

You may question me, why some of them reached and experienced God by not following any rules or rituals.

Answer is; you know we can transmit electricity using metals or wires, some of them achieved this in wireless way.

Don't fight over religions, all religions function like a transportation, some are called as RED line, some are called as YELLOW line, some are called as BLUE line. Try to understand the purpose of religions, instead of fighting on colors, shapes, and names, all religions real purpose is to make you spiritual.

My definition of spirituality is - one should attain the understanding that all are ONE, s/he should love ALL, s/he should be courageous and truthful.

As Sri Krishna said in Bhagavad Gita sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah para-dharmat svanusthitat sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah para-dharmo bhayavahah. It means; Even if it has no values, your religion is the best, when compared with very well structured/organized other religion. By following your own religion getting death is even much better, than following the other religion. Reason; other religions are not meant for you to follow and those are irrelevant to you.

It's like we all know Americans eat one kind of food, Arabians eat different kind of food, Indians eat other kind of food, all food is good and helps to survive. With this reason you can't guide Indian or Arabian food to the Americans, by doing this, instead of helping, you may harm them. Following other religion practices are like this...

 

Whereas some exceptions, few good things and practices need be exchanged, this is like having continental food. Neither it belongs to our country nor it belongs to any other country.

As Swami Vivekananda said on religion: Secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice. And it helps; you will find that before you were an animal, now you are a man, and will be a god or God Himself in future.

So, you found some ideas to reach god, choose the best way of prayers, practices and meditation you believe or you trust and consider above suggestions too, those are the possible ways to reach enlightenment and God. (Refer)
