Society and Spirituality: The 3 Paradigms of Interaction with the society in Hinduism

Last updated on: August 8, 2013 at 8:47 pm By Desh Kapoor

Most religious people, specially those who are part-time Spiritual students, are always confused about how to interact with the world and the society. In absence of any clarity, asceticism has been held as extremely important in Spiritual pursuits. The more hard core the level of one’s asceticism, the more “Spiritual” s/he is supposed to be by default in people’s eyes. In this respect, therefore, it is important to know Buddha’s story of enlightenment here to get a perspective before we... Read more

Yoga has nothing to do with Beliefs, it’s about Transformation!

Last updated on: August 7, 2013 at 5:15 pm By Desh Kapoor

When San Diego Superior Court Judge John Meyer asked the question “What is Religion?” in context of the trial on Yoga, he stepped into an area that is completely foreign to Americans and most Westerners. The greatest tragedy in mankind has been the concept of Religion. And, its primacy in things to do with Divine. No one has really “seen” God. People have simply experienced the ultimate experience that one can have or imagine as a human being. And, if it... Read more

Religion may be of a Book, but Spirituality has nothing to do with Books

Last updated on: August 6, 2013 at 6:00 pm By Desh Kapoor

The Existence – the Universe (or the Multi-verse, maybe?), the Solar System, the planets, the species and the human beings on Earth and everything else in between, function in an amazing harmony. Harmony has nothing to do with “Peace”. Just as the Galaxies are eating each other – violent bunch them!; tremendous purging and killing is happening within the bodies and cells of every living creature. In Human body for example, many bacterial cells are fought and killed. There is... Read more

Hinduism in China: Influence that goes back many millennia

Last updated on: August 5, 2013 at 6:50 pm By Desh Kapoor

Hu Shih, former Ambassador of China to USA once said “India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.” In Spiritual and Philosophical terms, that is very true. You can either include the other in yourself by Conquering, or by Embrace. What Hu Shih talks about was the inclusion by Embrace. For a world which is high on Religion, and which believes that philosophy is central to Spiritual pursuits... Read more

The Utter Nonsense of Secularism

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 6:28 pm By Desh Kapoor

Secularism is called the panacea for all the problems that religion has created. Religion, as defined by the Abrahamic dispensations. Religion, that is no more than a belief system predicated on following. Someone’s edicts and utterings. If believing something that you have not experienced is sealed by an emphasis on faith without experience, then to uphold this faith and belief one needs to resort to fanaticism. For, how do you assert the primacy of that, which you have not known. ... Read more

Pakistan Govt paid $1.8 mn to journalists from Secret Government Fund

Last updated on: April 24, 2013 at 11:25 pm By Desh Kapoor

As much as the Pakistani journalists keep asserting their freedom, and keep accusing Indian Journalists of toeing the Indian Government line, the truth was that Pakistan media people would stand right alongside whatever lie or latest “controversy theory” that the Government would dish out. So there was always a sneaking suspicion that there was a collusion between the Government and Journalists. Now, due to a case in the Supreme Court by two journalists, Government has had to lay bare the... Read more
