The Ete al Paradox of Free Will and Predestination

'Free will is the greatest gift of God to man,' says Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (Bh.G. 1.39). 'Man has freedom of action; thereby he can adopt any channel, good or bad, through which he wants the course of his life to flow' (Bh.G. 2.27). We know that freedom is very fulfilling, we all want more and more freedom. Freedom equates with happiness, independence and sovereignty. And indeed, man seems to be more free than any other life form.

What Is God?

Can we define God or can we describe him accurately? To answer this question, I would like to start with a counter question: can we define and adequately describe a pebble? The answer to this question is ‘Yes’ for those of us who have seen a pebble and held it in their hand. The answer is ‘No’ for those who have never seen a pebble and have never held one in their hand. For these persons (if they would exist) not even a hundred definitions and adequate descriptions would suffice to make clear to them what a pebble is. For those persons, the pebble remains a mystery.

Twelve Ways To Happiness

– The goal of life – In our materialistic culture, happiness is often regarded as something we have to work hard for in order to attain it. Generally speaking, people seek happiness outside of themselves, in a job, in a good salary, in material goods, in a personal relationship, in a relationship with God, which is imagined as separate from oneself. Outer success and the fulfillment of desires naturally make us happy, but the opposite is also true: when we are happy inside, outer achievements come to us much easier.

About Finding Lasting Happiness

The ete al wisdom of life – as recorded in the ancient vedic literature – advises us to realize who we really are, and to identify with our real self. By silencing our chattering mind, we easily find out that our real self is pure awareness, pure, unbounded awareness, also known as pure consciousness. Having realized this, we automatically find out that we are neither our mind nor our body. We realize that our mind-body system is an instrument with which we can express ourselves in the world.

Vedic Astrology - Jyotish - as based on the Rik Veda

We have now seen that Jyotish is one of the limbs (Angas) of Rik Veda. In fact, Jyotish is considered the most important of all the six Vedangas. Just as Vedanta, the most important of the six Upangas, contains within its fold all the knowledge and principles enumerated in the other five Upangas, so Jyotish forms both the synopsis as well as the culmination of the other five Vedangas.

Twenty Myths of New Age Philosophy

It is interesting to see how much of the so called New Age thoughts are a more fashionable continuation of deeply ingrained religious beliefs. And as religions have been the expression of incomplete insight into the nature of our own self, of God and of the world, so are the modern New Age thoughts oftentimes an expression of ignorance, and of incomplete knowledge of reality. It still looks as if people are more interested in mysterious believes than in real knowledge! The problem with real knowledge however is that it is hardly available.r
