People think strength is aggression. They think power is domination. Many think victory means defeating an external opponent.
That understanding does not survive scrutiny.
Real strength has nothing to do with overpowering others. It has everything to do with … CONTINUE READING ON SUBSTACK
I am not saying this. KRISHNA SAYS IT IN THE SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA.
Please let me be honest, my dear brothers and sisters, I find it utterly saddening that so many people have been convinced that the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is “too difficult to comprehend” and that without a “good guru” they can never learn it.
In Shloka SBG 9:02, Bhagavan Krishna clearly says that this knowledge is not only VERY EASY, but also it is also VERY EASY TO PRACTISE and it is EVERLASTING. All it takes is the small effort of sitting down and reading a simple translation of the 700 Shlokas. In fact, I must have read this supreme scripture over a thousand times, and I never tire of it. The same applies to every genuine seeker. You cannot read it once and expect to fully grasp it. But at the very least, read it, listen to it, or go through it ONCE BEFORE YOU DIE!
As part of my SBG for ALL Mission, here is my humble offering: a three-hour guided study of this life-changing scripture, a true gift to humanity.
Please, take this opportunity. Whatever you think it is worth, COMPLETE IT. Do it at least for your brother’s sake. You can thank me later 🙂
JAI SHRI KRISHNA.
Voyager 1 has been flying non-stop for nearly 48 years since 1977. It has already travelled over 24 billion kilometres and is still not even one light-day away from Earth.
Let that sink in. Just one day of light-speed travel, and we haven’t reached it yet.
And here we are…
On this tiny, fragile speck called Earth, floating in infinite space,
Wasting our precious moment of life with ego, pride, inferiority, religious superiority, hatred, and greed.
All our religious places, ideologies, nations, and flags – they vanish into nothingness when seen from just a few kilometres above Earth, let alone from Voyager’s view.
The spacecraft carries a golden record of music and greetings from humanity, in case it ever meets another intelligent being.
Imagine if it did. What would we say we stood for?
It’s time we grow up, let go of imaginary divisions, ridiculous beliefs, and cults, and embrace the sheer miracle of being alive at all. Because in the grand movie of the universe, we’re not even a pixel on the screen.
Introducing “Timeless Vedanta” – A Channel Dedicated to Non-Dual Wisdom
Dear Readers,
“It brings me immense joy to announce the launch of my new YouTube channel, Timeless Vedanta – a space dedicated solely to sharing the pure essence of Advaita Vedanta in a clear, rational, and practical manner.
“In today’s world, which is saturated with noise, confusion, and often superficial spirituality, there is a deep hunger among thoughtful seekers – especially young minds – for clarity and truth. Timeless Vedanta is a space to gain such understanding
“This channel is not about religion, dogma, or blind belief. It is about direct exploration, deep inquiry, and the timeless truth of non-duality – the understanding that your innermost Self is not separate from the reality that pervades all existence.
Because truth does not age. It is not bound by culture, belief, or time. The teachings of Vedanta, when stripped of layers of tradition and theological interpretation, reveal a science of consciousness that is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.
This channel is open to people of all cultural and religious backgrounds who have an open mind and a sincere desire to seek clarity.
This channel is an invitation to rediscover that wisdom, to see clearly, and to live freely.

What if everything you’ve been taught about ‘god’, worship, and salvation is just the kindergarten of the path of the rational philosophy of Vedanta?
The ancient Rishis (wise, selfless sages) spoke in metaphors and extensive analogies—not to hide the truth, but because ultimate reality must be directly experienced. It cannot be handed to you as dogma or belief.
Yet what do the ignorant masses do? They take the allegories literally and spin them into entire new cults, sects, and traditions! Haven’t you seen all those ‘I-know-it-all’ bearded men in flowing robes strutting around like proud peacocks who spin yarns about being reincarnations of some old sages who existed 50,000 years ago and so on? Where does all that come from? How do those people even get there? One reason: The IGNORANCE of the masses strengthened by the disease of DUALITY infused into them – or rather, the lack of knowledge of NONDUALITY or universal oneness in them.
Watch the video presentation below to understand why such profound analogies exist in the Puranas, Itihasas, and Vedantic scriptures at all.
It is indeed comforting to believe in a ‘divine father’ watching over us—listening to our prayers, changing all his plans only because we were ‘good children’ or fasted sincerely, rewarding good, punishing evil. Temples and prayers sustain this. A necessary beginning, maybe, but it is like ‘spiritual kindergarten’. True awakening requires quitting kindergarten and progressing toward Vedanta’s university.
Below are a few points why Vedanta stands apart:
• It rejects all blind belief in any supernatural being or other such unintelligent stuff in favour of direct knowledge
• It transcends ritual worship through Self-inquiry
• Through studying the master-disciple dialogues, seekers systematically remove ignorance to recognise their true nature – which the Srimad Bhagavad Gita reveals as the highest state of consciousness – SBG 2:72
What we call “spiritual seeking” often becomes mental chasing. Vedanta ends this by revealing:
✓ The illusion of separation between seeker and sought
✓ That rituals cannot give what you already are
✓ How to recognise the eternal presence beyond birth and death
✓ That the ultimate goal isn’t conceptual – it’s a transformed state of mind (what the Gita calls “sthita-pragnyaa”) SBG 2:55
This isn’t about new beliefs – it’s about realising the truth that:
• Liberates from all mental conditioning
• Establishes one in natural peace
• Reveals consciousness as your fundamental state
This is not about adopting new beliefs—it’s about transcending belief itself, to know truth directly.

(For those ready to move from concepts to direct realisation)
The wave need not believe it is the ocean—it need only look and realise that it is the ocean.
Aum Tat Sat.
This knowledge isn’t “enlightenment” — it’s what remains when all illusions fall away.
🔄 I know few will read this or watch the myth-shattering video – truth tends to terrify the comfortable. But if these words stir even the faintest doubt in some corner of your conditioned mind, share it with someone still trapped in ‘spiritual kindergarten’. They might just deserve their first taste of freedom.
The other day, I was speaking with an old friend when the conversation turned to the tragic stampede at the Kumbh Mela in February 2025 and the official reports highlighting severe faecal contamination in the very waters where thousands had taken ‘holy’ dips. My friend took offence at my remarks and became almost aggressive and confrontational. He insisted that people have the right to their beliefs and that I had no business questioning them.
I want to highlight two important points here:
The issue with my friend remains unresolved! So, my old friend is willing to risk our friendship over this thing called belief! Christopher Hitchens rightly said that religion poisons everything.
The most crucial point, however, is that in Advaita Vedanta—the highest attainment on the Vedic path known as Sanatana Dharma—there is no concept of belief. It is a path of knowledge, direct experience, and realisation, not blind faith.
Yet, many continue to follow irrational beliefs and rituals without questioning their origins or validity. These inherited practices are often carried out simply because they are part of tradition, with little thought given to their purpose. How often do people stop to ask: Why am I doing this? Does it make sense?
To encourage critical thinking and deeper reflection, I am reposting two videos that examine the absurdity of beliefs and rituals. These videos challenge the notion that faith alone is enough, exposing how unquestioned traditions shape societies and hinder individuals from seeking true knowledge.
Vedanta emphasises reason and self-inquiry. Instead of surrendering to superstition, one must strive to understand reality as it is, not as it is imagined or dictated by blind faith. True wisdom lies in breaking free from irrational dogmas and seeing the world with clarity.
Unfortunately, as laziness is easier and more comfortable than using our brains and thinking critically, most people prefer the easier route of blindly believing things rather than questioning, studying, and researching.
I invite you to watch these videos with an open mind and reflect on the impact of unquestioned beliefs in your own life.
Newspaper article regarding the pollution of the river Ganga:
“High levels of faecal coliform (microbes from human and animal excreta) were found in river water in which people took holy dip during Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj of Uttar Pradesh, according to a report submitted to the National Green Tribunal by the Central Pollution Control Board.”
I am pleased to share a comprehensive resource for those dedicated to the pursuit of self-realisation through Advaita Vedanta. This collection of 45 videos, hosted on YouTube, serves as a guided journey to help you internalise the profound teachings of non-dual Vedanta, the pinnacle of all Vedic studies. Each video is thoughtfully designed to facilitate a smoother path towards the realisation of Atma-Gnyaana — the knowledge of your own true, all-pervading, and attributeless SELF, known as Brahman or Krishna.
For your convenience, I have compiled these videos into a single PDF index with clickable links, allowing you to easily access each video at your own pace.

May this resource inspire and aid you in your quest for self-awareness and enlightenment, freeing you from all fears and negative emotions. These emotions can only rob you of your most precious asset — time on this planet — without offering true happiness in return.
The Path of Knowledge has been accorded the highest status among all paths towards Self-Realisation: Shloka SBG 4:38
What if everything you perceive as reality is just an illusion shaped by your mind? In the ancient teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the analogy of the rope and snake is a powerful tool used to illustrate this profound truth. Imagine seeing a rope in dim light and mistaking it for a snake. Your fear and reactions are real, but the snake is not. The rope never ceases to be a rope, just as the ultimate reality never changes, despite our misconceptions. READ MORE
WATCH THIS AND CLEAR YOUR HEAD OF ALL UNWANTED STUFF:
When ignorance becomes the norm, entire masses of people can be easily swayed to firmly believe the unreal to be real. The crucial factor in society that enables a select few to manipulate their minds is the ignorance of the masses, which basically stems from blind beliefs that numb their brains, and sheer laziness to make a move to get out of ignorance.
People come to my blog, watch some of my videos, and ask me what they should do to change their lives. Almost everyone wants instant solutions, and they are even willing to pay for shortcuts! One should not overlook the fact that even the act of going to a religious place and praying for what one wants is a form of seeking shortcuts.
But the truth is that everything has a price, and everything is part of the never-ending cause-and-effect chain. Asking someone or ‘god’ to give them what they want could only mean that the so-called ‘god’ changes his plans to suit the needs of the one praying. So, what about the others? Do their lives get destroyed because someone else prayed and got things done by ‘god’ to do things their way? Really? So, what happens when two entities at war with each other pray to the same ‘god’? Who do you think ‘god’ will bless with special favours?!
How many people really dare to make massive changes in their lives, have the courage to travel around, experience and learn more, and evolve? Krishna says in Shloka SBG 7:19, “Therefore, after innumerable births, the one who has perfected his or her wisdom, understanding fully My universal reality, surrenders to Me and such an individual is very rare.”
So, with a default state of mind of wanting to maintain the status quo, people tend to look for easy ways out, shortcuts, middlemen, and women who can help them achieve success through the short path, which is a form of corruption or fraud. It is because people want something without really working for it.
When did Krishna say in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita to go to his temples, perform meaningless rites and rituals with the mammary milk of poor voiceless animals, sing songs in His praise, chant Mantras the whole day, and do nothing else? The clear instruction in the second chapter is that you only have the right to work, but never to claim its results. The results of your actions should never be your motive, but at the same time, you should not be attached to inaction.
Then why do people perform religious rites to fulfill personal desires?
Vedanta and the Srimad Bhagavad Gita
Shloka 18:66 of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita does not mean that one should have blind belief in Krishna.
Krishna says in SBG 18:66, “Giving up all your ideas of righteousness or religion, take complete refuge in Me. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.”
It means, “Give up all the nonsensical ideas you might have in the name of religion, and by adopting the logical analysis and reasoning provided throughout until the 18th chapter, become one with Krishna.”
The entire purpose of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is to guide people to shed their false beliefs and take to a rational study of truth. The process is very simple with three stages:
Scientists don’t believe anything without evidence, do they? Remember that Vedanta is the science of all sciences.
Reason and Logic in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita talks about reason and logic and NEVER about belief.
SBG 13:4 states, “Great sages have sung about the absolute truth in various ways. They have stated the truth in Vedic hymns and have described it in the Brahma Sutras through reason and logic with unambiguous evidence.”
Shloka SBG 4:34 says, “Acquire knowledge through reverence to teachers who have known the Truth, serve them and ask them questions until all of them are answered. The wise who know the Truth will teach it to you.”
Definition of Religion
Religion is a system of beliefs, practices, and values often centred around the worship of a higher power or divine beings. It typically involves rituals, moral guidelines, and a community of followers who share the same belief and faith.
Did you find anything related to reason, rationality, science, inquiry, or logic in this definition?
Vedanta: The Pinnacle of Vedic Studies
Vedanta is the highest point of Vedic studies – right from the basic Karma Kaanda, Upaasana Kaanda to the Gnyaana Kaanda of the Upanishads.
If you are interested in changing your life COMPLETELY and are willing to clear your mind of all the unfounded beliefs you have been trained by your elders to blindly believe, please feel free to contact me.
I do not talk about miracles performed by some man in a cave, one with a long beard, or another with fuzzy hair. Out here, it is pure Advaita Vedanta – Nondual Vedanta, and the compact and best manual for attaining the highest understanding of the nondual, all-pervading SELF is the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
A real shift to Vedanta is a complete change with no traces of illogical or irrational ideas sticking in the mind in the name of belief, ‘aastha’, religion, or whatever.
“Before you heal someone, ask him if he’s willing to give up the things that make him sick,” said Hippocrates. Just as baseless beliefs can be likened to mental diseases, one must be willing to abandon them to achieve true healing and enlightenment. Therefore, start with a clean slate.
SBG 4:38 Shri Krishna says: “There is certainly nothing more purifying than knowledge. He who is perfect in Yoga finds it in the Self in due course of time.”
