Spirituality Simplified

Years back when I was asked the same question  I answered that I am a woman, my name is Manisha, I do college counseling, I am also an author, a mother, and so on. Most  of us usually introduce ourselves the same way we first tell our gender, then name and then our profession- Right?  It is an autonomous reply, set in our minds. In everyday conversations we generally describe our body, job, family...

For ages, spirituality in science has been a debatable issue. Mainly because science is the study of physical matter. Spirituality is the study of metaphysics, things which are beyond physical measures. Where science ends spirituality begins. In today's episode I will give a direct correlation between science and spirituality using Newton's Laws of motion. Sir Issac Newton, a famous physic...

Despite all the inventive measures, fancy gadgets, all the comforts to make living so accessible and all the progressions, yet science lacks the  knowledge about the soul and soul’s potential. Still there are unknown facts  about the inner core of human beings, which even science has not proven. Science has given comforts but yet has not given means to find true peace, happiness or love. Science h...

 If I ask you what is life? You will give me various analogies like life is a boat, life is a camera, life is bed of roses, life is like a book, life is like a boxing match, life is a seat of thorns and many more, because  there is no straightforward answer to this question. People generally answer this question through their perspective and believe that is what life is. Nothing wrong with this th...

First of all, Spirituality is an enlightened lifestyle. Where one has to watch their thoughts, words and actions to stay on track at par with the inner happiness and harmony. It is an ongoing process where one can only improve. Just like when we try to reduce weight we adopt a new lifestyle, we change our eating habits, reduce our intake of calories, start an exercise regime, and keep a journal to...

I am going to narrate a true life incident which happened to me many years back. When I was working on establishing a relationship with God and getting strength and guidance from him. Many of you would be raising your eyebrows wondering “What relationship?” Aren't the existing relationships enough? Why get tangled in one more? And that too with the one who is just in the form of an energy, who...

One of the strongest misbeliefs about God is that he is responsible for the birth and death of human beings. Every other person I hear blames God for taking away their loved one. I so very often hear that God’s will was to take away this person. Ask yourself, will you be wishing ill for your child or take away the life of your child? Then how can God wish for his children to die or how is death a...

Man made so many religions based upon the teachings of some pious souls who were in search of God. Each religion talks of GOD, but the interpretations made by humans have given a different perspective. Which led to one of the biggest myths which blossomed under the umbrella of religions in several parts of the world-that there are numerous Gods and each one of them has a specific characteristic an...

We often relate God to many religions and fondly praise him in reference to the religion, in this course of praise we forget that actually God has no religion. Religion is man made and started only for the reason of the search of God. God’s search began in the middle of the copper. According to a few Hindu philosophies the search for God began some 3200 years back, when human beings started to see...

Many religions create a fear like if you don't do certain rituals in a certain way God may get angry and punish you. Irrelevant of what religion it is, all religions have imposed  a strong fear in the name of God. Some preachers, gurus or religious leaders who pretend to know more about the religion create this nuisance. All of  them collectively say that if certain rites are not performed the...

We started making temples, shrines and placed the figurines of deities in it and thought our work was done. With utmost devotion we went into those religious structures and with a lot of affection started performing religious practices, rituals, chants, mantras, and the whole shebang of religion. But was God there? No one knew so no one bothered to ask or question?  Never ever we thought God can h...

God's biggest role on earth is to come and purify the human souls. Help the souls achieve purity by vanishing Ego and other vices. Lust, anger, greed, attachment are all embodiments of Ego. Ego is the predominant master of all the vices. Ego-of physical attraction brings lust, lust- when not fulfilled invokes anger, anger is irrational and demanding so it requires more which often invites gree...

 All the religions believe light represents God. All the religious scriptures mention that too. In bhagavad gita God says that I am the highest of the high. I am never born nor do I die. I am absolute Knowledge, I am absolute purity, I am eternal light.  I am Infinite. I am omnipotent. I am an energy in the form of light. A very subtle point of light.      Now why just a point of light?  God furth...

God, according to our beliefs, plays various roles like a creator, a preserver, a destroyer.  We often think that he is a magician who can change things in a jiffy.  Many of us  believe he is omnipresent, one who is in everything and everywhere.  What do you think God’s role is in human lives? Do you think all happens because of God’s will? If so then Let's see what God can do and what he cann...

We all know our whereabouts, but when it comes to knowing about God we are uncertain. Whether we are believers, non atheist, atheist, monotheist, or polytheist we all believe in one omnipotent presence- meaning someone with unlimited powers, but who is this omnipotent is unclear? I  would like to remind you that my intentions are not at all of changing your beliefs, faiths, rituals, religious prac...

Many of us are looking ways to know our inner self, we know so much about our surroundings and events happening in the world but what is going inside our inner self is yet unknown. Why this ignorance? Simply because we don't know about the seed of our existence. The seed of the tree of Spirituality? Who is this seed-Almighty God, one most conceptualized entity. I will be starting this podcast...
