Spirituality is about connecting with something greater than oneself to find meaning and purpose. It is both an art and a science. Common spiritual principles include love, finding one's true self, and realizing that what we seek is already within us. Spirituality benefits many areas of life like health, education, psychology, work, leadership, environment, and more. It teaches acceptance, intuition, and living according to higher principles. Spiritual research aims to enlighten humanity about the spiritual dimension and how it shapes our lives, though spiritual matters cannot be fully understood through conventional means alone.

Part 1 (Spirituality) Lecture on Spirituality & Development to students at Cambridge University -- explains why misconceptions about knowledge in west make it difficult to understand spirituality
The world is perhaps at the point of the greatest crisis in all human history, and
there seem to be two attitudes we can assume. One is calmness, faith, and
conviction; the other would be despair. And despair is unthinkable. Let each, in
[their] own way, dedicate [their] time, service, hope, and spiritual conviction to
the common cause of liberty and justice for all. And let's work without tiring and
pray without ceasing.

This is a fundamental and rigorous psychological Analysis of Christian Religion (not of God). If you are easily hurt in your religious feelings, it means: You simply feel ashamed, embarrassed, and guilty about how deep you have fallen into the archaic religious trap!
In our day-to-day personal and inter-personal social life, Yoga has given us multitudes of tools, concepts, attitudes and techniques through which we can attain inner contentment leading to happiness and spiritual realization while simultaneously creating harmony in all relationships. All psycho-social qualities essential for healthy inter-personal relationships are cultivated when we live a life of Yoga that is in tune with the eternal Dharma.

Divine Mantra Chants For Protection from Evil Spirits, Demons, and Negativity
The 3 divine mantra chants protect an individual from the influence of all types of negative energies. The mantra chants will cast away any evil spirit or demon, however strong they may be, and create positive vibrations in the place of recitation. They create a powerful protective shield around the house which will reverse any curse or bad vibration that tries to enter the house. Even if a person is possessed and an exorcism is required, these mantras will prove beneficial and are strong enough to send the evil away.

Karma yoga chapter v we help ourselves, not the world.Ravi Ramakrishnan
Swami #Vivekananda Bengali: , Shāmi Bibekānondo; 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born #Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of# Vedanta and #Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising #interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the #Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his Guru, Ramakrishna Deva, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later traveled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Spirituality is art or science?
1. "People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness, just because they are
not on your road does not mean they are lost" --- Dalai Lama
Often 'religion' and 'spirituality' have been mistaken for the same thing. Religion is the
"extreme truth of life" which is apparent in the physical world, but Spirituality is what
upholds the principles of the human society. 'Religion' is a perspective, whereas
'Spirituality' is universal. A society can survive without the presence of any religion, but
in the absence of Spirituality the physical manifested world would not be able to
preserve itself. Contrary to 'religion', 'spirituality' is all about the existing spirit in the
human body. It unfurls the truth of every form of life that predominates on the surface of
the Earth.
Spirituality is an expansive concept with a place for many frames of reference. It is the
science that teaches us the art of connecting ourselves with something bigger than us,
and it generally is in the search for a meaning of one's life. Common questions like
"Where do I find the meaning of Spirituality?", "Where do I feel connected?", "How do I
live?" have often come up in the minds of people across every corner of the globe. As
said, 'it is not ignorance that derides wisdom it is the semblance of being all
knowledgeable that derides it'. With proper knowledge comes proper comprehension,
and with proper comprehension comes proper self-actualisation.
Spirituality - is it an Art or a Science?
The place where magic happen: http://bit.ly/2RXyMwb
The answer is "it's both''. It tells you to seek truth about yourself, affirming the fact that
truth is available only to those who have the courage to question whatever they have
been taught. Truth has never denied the seeker; it has always been vice-versa. To
quote Lord Buddha, "All that we were is the result of all that we have thought"; a wise
man once said "if you can't just laugh thrice at the same joke, then why do you keep
crying for the same thing forever?"
For many decades spiritual "Gurus" have emphasized on the following facts which are
now considered as a 'gospel' in spirituality;
1. Essentials of Spirituality:
a. Love: To rekindle oneself to the soul is not a process that requires intellect; it is a
state of 'subsistence' and 'action'. The heart knows the truth, and it is through that
knowledge that we feel the Spirit. Love is one of the best virtues; with love flowing back
and forth the Soul is awakened to its glory. If there is no loving in what one does, then
the worth of one's existence dwindles down because "self-love is the best love".
2. b. To Find One's True Self: When we start opening upto spirituality, the Divine within us
will start to drive forward the falseness within our consciousness. When it is learnt about
the "true self" the false image flies away.
c. We Already Are What We Seek: It has been a misconception since time immemorial
that to be in the Soul one has to leave for his/her heavenly abode. No, it is not so as we
are already there. We have just segregated ourselves from our cognizance through a
mere knowledge of the mind, body, emotions and every kind of material & worldly
pleasure. The very thing that we seek is already there in ourselves.
d. The Intention: Let us not mix up God and religion. It is a religious perspective that has
revealed so many forms of the Almighty. God is Universal, and then why not make our
intention God consciousness. Let us clear out our intentions and gain knowledge of the
realm that we would go into someday. This knowledge would make us wise enough to
choose our actions because at Karma's doorstep we do not get what we want, we get
what we deserve.
e. Transcendence of the Soul: Our Soul is truly what we are. It has more impact in our
lives than our mind, body and emotions. It is the highest aspect of oneself. The
expedition of our Soul is to return to a perception of oneself and to expose ourselves to
the Universal energy which manifests in oneness with God. Once this is established we
shall not be influenced by any negative energy at the lower levels.
2. Spirituality and Health & Wellbeing: Almost all of life starts and finishes in the
mind. This might sound harsh, but the creative mind which has been spiritually
awakened is capable of creating a sinuous wave over our mental and emotional
spheres. A spiritual mind is an enquiring mind, and an enquiring mind is a healthy mind.
Yoga is an invaluable form of taking oneself to spiritual consciousness and at the same
time it is a physical workout that detoxifies the body, increases lung capacity and talking
from the spiritual perspective it gives us the courage to experience the biggest thing in
our lives, "ourselves".
3. Education, Science & Spirituality: The process of civilisation has undergone a
recurrent movement of physical, abstract and intangible discoveries. These discoveries
have repeated over and over again and gradually mapped and infused as mental
knowledge in the form of logic, in other words as 'science'. The process of scientific
discovery is learning new relationships between unknown facts. The primary pillars that
have supported the enhancement of science limit are growth, power of discovery guided
by recognition of oneself. Spiritual vision reveals the fundamental reality and the
process of creation is the same in all fields of existence. In the end, the laws of physical
and spiritual evolution are the same, only the forms of manifestation may vary.
3. 4. Spiritual Psychology & Contemporary Spirituality: Spiritual Psychology sees us
more than a collective form of physical, mental, emotional and psychological attributes.
It is the concept which says that there is the presence of an energy beyond our
perceptions. A very prominent aspect of spiritual psychology is that it helps to respect
oneself in their life paths and life choices.Contemporary Spirituality describes a man as
"the self in a palace", it helps the new generation to get more involved with their
successive generations and that they are confronted by endless possibilities and
choices in each facet of their lives.
5. Spirituality and Human Excellence:
a. Spirituality in Daily-life: Being spiritual gives us the ability to look at the most ordinary
objects like a table, chair or a pen as the most extra-ordinary objects. It would help us to
look at a pile of crumpled clothes, as a big soft ball. Our spiritual energy and nature is
what gives us the meaning of our lives. It is a unique force for action in every dimension
of our life.
b. Personality Transformation: Spirituality helps us to tap into an unbounded
fountainhead of enthusiasm, passion, compassion, wisdom, creativity, peace-of-mind,
happiness and love. It gives us the vigour to persevere, to motivate and inspire
ourselves and our surroundings, while providing us with a direction to focus on our lives.
c. Family & Wealth Management: Change in life is inevitable. Our body's archaic
reverberation has not been able to keep pace with this change or we are living an
inundated life as daily companion to oneself. "Financial separation" has been very
prevalent in modern families. The husband, the wife and neither the child/children
consult anyone before burning a hole in their pockets. This is because of the liberation
across all genders, generations and above all across all societies. In the institution of
marriage, the husband and the wife are co-managers. An institution needs to have one
single budget ruled by a set of mutual decisions; but unfortunately that is not what we
see these days. This is a result of the lack of spiritual knowledge. This knowledge tells
us that a family is a representation of trust where pieces of green notes are meant for
only for one's survival and not for making one's identity. Spirituality teaches a family to
deal with the "dilemma of diversity", that every change throws us into a position of
dealing with entirely new surroundings. Acceptance is to be learnt across all stratums of
the family. It can help the family to make necessary adjustments in lives as well their
finances and get along faster towards building that ultimate epitome of trust.
6. Spirituality at Workplace, Business & Management: Now one might think that how
would business be in any sort of connection with spirituality. Yes! Every realm of life has
the element of spirituality in it. Spirituality tells us that there is one gem in the treasure
chest that has to be dug out, polished and worn proudly--- the gem is our intuition. Now
4. that being said, there is a line of difference between being a business junkie and a truth
seeker. Spirituality preaches us that every workplace can have an effective functioning
with the right intuition and it has to be trusted as the spiritual energy resides in us and
that seeks truth. Now something that seeks truth will never mislead. The business
intuition would then help to build one's self-esteem. Self-understanding and acceptance
of oneself, the coalition that we make with ourselves and our surroundings, is in many
ways the most crucial provocation that we face.
7. Spirituality and Leadership, Politics & Growth of a Nation: All life emerges from
the single source, (God, Spirit,. Whatever it is known as). When the physical form dons
upon us we develop a distinct individuality. The purpose of this tangible incarnation is to
experience that disunion from the source which can only be experienced through
interaction with other incarnate existences. The mechanics of evolution have shown the
benefits of a mutual growth and understanding. An effective working atmosphere
requires a set of effective rules, and these rules need to be enforced by a superior
entity, i.e., the need of leadership (government). Governments have contributed to
immeasurable extents for the betterment of the human race by providing infrastructures
that promote enterprise and creativity; but there are negative sides to it as well. Many
wars have been executed because of wrong government policies and decisions. Such a
behavior is the result of 'spiritual immaturity". Does it end there? No! It does not.
Governments are built on the pillars of the world's oldest trade - Politics. The continuity
of wild differences in political opinion has dissolved many governments and built
governments as well. Elections are a barometer to gauge a State's current spiritual
progress. During elections our spiritual duty is to get ourselves engaged but with the
utmost amount of integrity and loyalty to ourselves and to the State. In the final
reckoning, it is Spirituality that leads leaders and their citizens to abide by their inner
instincts.
8. Spirituality and Environment & Sustainable Development: How would one
integrate the tangible attributes of science with the intangible attributes of "feeling,
sensing or knowing"? The ecological revolution is not only a turmoil against the loss of
habitats, but also against the dull and impersonal modes of living. Development which
was once accepted as an elixir for most problems of mankind is now facing serious
obstacles. Despite years of heavy investments, poverty, inequality, hunger and
malnutrition still prevails. Side by side we also terrors like wars and other kinds of
miseries. Economic development is not sustainable development; it should include
socio-cultural dimensions as well. Development also has an ethical and spiritual
dimension to it. It is human values backed by social synergy that determine coherence.
A sustainable community is characterized by its sense of unanimity, ensuring that each
person has a place with dignity and self-respect. Spirituality injects values into the
corporate dimensions of the society.
5. 9. Spiritual Research: Spiritual research deals with the systematic study of about
spiritual realm with the support of facts and evidences along with some help from the
advanced sixth sense, also known as the Extrasensory Perception (ESP). The factor to
be considered and always remembered while conducting this research is that this form
of research can never be accomplished with the help of conventional measurement and
reasoning tools. This form of research delves mainly into one's previous life to find out
the events or courses of action which has now resulted to the positive and negative
events in his/her life. The goal of this research is to enlighten humanity on the spiritual
dimension and how it alters our lives. The factor to be considered and always
remembered while conducting this research is that this form of research can never be
accomplished with the help of conventional measurement and reasoning tools.
