My humble spiritual concept.

What little I have heard and read from the spiritual zone make me believe that Brahman is the impersonal
(Avyaktigata bhavam) form of God. There are only two things, one the impersonal form of God, Brahman or PARAMATMA
(God) and the other the KARMA. PARAMATMA is like the air inside and outside of a pot kept open, the mouth
up words. We are the pots. When the pot is broken or destroyed, the air inside and outside becomes one.
Brahman is like the Air. It is not an Object, it is the Subject, and the one and only Subject. The potency of
the Brahman is of great magnitude, diverse and quite indescribable – ‘‘Ananatham, Ajnatham,
Avarnaneeyam”. Living things can live only on a Living Substratum and that is the Brahman, the
impersonal form of God. Then the question comes, ‘Is there any personal form (Vyaktigataroopam) of
God?’. Yes, of course, Brahman can take any form as it imagines.

KARMA is the consequence of our actions, done by Mind, Words and Deeds- ‘Manasa, Vacha and
Karmana’- including that of our past janmas. There is no way out, to escape from the result of KARMA.
Every ounz of it, we have to experience. What we sow, so we reap. Brahman remains a witness to it, like
to its Maya or deluded potency. Understanding this great truth, and to make it convenient, comfortable and
easy for those dull-minded -‘manda budhis’- like us, to worshipping with focused attention and
concentration, our ancient Sages/ Seers/ Rishis, sitting austere and sublime, doing severe penance and
‘tapas’ in the dark caves of Himalayas and other such sacred places, where they could commune with the
Brahman, which could create, sustain and annihilate anything and everything in its simple imagination -
(Sankalapamathrayil)- classified, like Bhagavan Veda Vyasa divided Vedas, into three forms from
Brahman as ‘Bahma, Vishnu and Maheswara’. Our Seers made it clear that they are not different from
Brahman, the PARMATMA or God, but only to give the devotees a personal form or attribute
(Vyaktigatha swaroopam) to worship with true faith, seeing them with their eyes, in the most beautiful and
attractive forms of idol, image, picture, stone or any other substance- ‘upadhi’.

The great Seers of the Yore felt the pulse of the populace by their foresight that even the Trio
manifestation of Brahman, as Brahma,Vishnu and Maheswara, is difficult to reach by them and so they
were given thirty three crores of manifestation of Brahman, in a vibrant variety of form of demigods or
Devas and Devis. Now they can pick and choose the Deva/Devi, they like to worship with various kinds of
bhakti- like prema bhakti/valsalya bhakti etc., of their own, in close proximity , as and when they like.
People got very satisfied, they worshipped and still worshipping their Moorthis, gladly for material, and
sometimes for spiritual benefits. It proved a fact that God alone or people alone, cannot live happily; only
when interacted together they can live, which is called ‘Lokayutham’ or materialism. It reminds me of
Jawaharlal Nehruji’s words, ‘The East is East and West is West, but when both combine, produce the Best.
The Lord and His creations, together make the world joyous. Bhagavan is capable of doing anything sitting
quietly in His Abode, by His sankalapa alone. He is the number one ‘Bhavagrahi’, He understands our
bhava (the exact thought in our mind) well beforehand.

He incarnates not only for ‘Parithranaya sadhoonam , vinashaya cha dushkrtam,

dharma samsthapanarthaya etc., but also for, mixing and mingling with His loved ones. But what He
suffered on that account for us, is unaccountable, unimaginable and we cannot pay off the debt even if we
have seven janmas more.

Man, as a social being cannot avoid society, especially house-hold people. This may be the reason
why Lord Krishna loves more devotees from ‘Grahastasramis, ’than from ‘Sannyasins’, as He spoke in
Srimad Bhagavat Gita. We should be social for a meaningful and happy life in the world and always
indebted to God. God, whether in personal form or impersonal form, is Omnipotent and is ‘Sudha Satwa’.
By birth itself it is so, since Bhagavan was born in the Milky Ocean (Palazhy). He is ‘Ksheerodakashayi’.
But, we are born in the amniotic fluid (water) in the womb of our Mother- Udakodakashayi. We are not
born Sudha Satwa, by birth. It is also not easy to become Sudha Satwa, since by birth itself, we are an
admixture of the three gunas-Satwa, Rajas and Tamas- put together. It says that in the colorful abode of
Bhagavan, Vaikuntam, there is no rain, heat, AC, rest rooms or the like. There are no entrails like ours,
inside Bhagavan’s Body. Bhagavan’s Body is clean and it is called ‘Sachit’- Thirumeni. He is always in
SachidanandaSwaroopa. It says that Brahmaji took years and special extra ordinary things like sky
buds, roots of grinding stones etc., from various places, for making the Thirumeni of Lord Krishna. In the
final stage, after so many procedures, it became unique and effulgent by itself, producing ‘Kodi Soorya
Prabha’. Srimad Bhagavatam says that Lord Krishana is ‘Poornam, Brahma Sanatanam’. So, He is Poorna
Brahmam. We need not necessarily worship any other God, when Krishna is there. He is easily available
-‘sulabham’ too for us, but quite unknowingly we are searching God somewhere else,
keeping Him always with us. He wants only our unconditional and unalloyed love. He is pouring it on us,
immeasurably in its purest form. Make Him happy with service, He will make us enjoy our life, always. Do
not go even a step back from His service, thereafter. I think it is high time for us to stop the search of any
other God, except Krishna.

Live strictly observing ‘Sanatana Dharma’, which is not alien to us, since what we follow
unknowingly every day in our life is Sanatana Dharma or Bhagavata Dharma. It is in our blood. Human
birth, I humbly feel is to be used a for making Bhagavan happy, serving Him as much as possible to express
our deep gratitude towards Him and not asking for more things. Do our Karmas unto His Lotus Feet, the
Karma Phala will not afflict us and we will never get any punarjanma, aswell. Sadhu seva is Narayana Seva.
Satsangam enlightens us in spirituality and gradually lead to inner transformation; we will develop love
towards God and people, alike.
 Each Yuga has its own Dharma. Dharma of the present KaliYuaga is ‘Danam’or Gift- giving away
things to have nots. Your trashes will be their treasures. Do not go for any excess of any kind. Be humble,
always realize the truth that Paramatma is in every being.

Walk through the path of Dharma (righteousness), hold the flame of Vairagya (dispassion towards
unnecessary things) in your hand, let there be tears of Bhakti in your eyes when you remember God with
gratitude, and the ultimate aim be, to acquire Jnana – Brahma Jnana (the knowledge about the impersonal
form of God). The above path leads us to Self-realization and God-realization, which will make us Jeevan-
Muktas in this life itself, and enjoy eternal bliss.

Jai Hind. God bless America.
