Celebrating Shravan with Shiva -27

 

Shiva Day Twenty-seven

There is an exhaustive list of religious people in Hinduism, including gurus, saints, monks, yogis, and spiritual masters.

ü They never claimed Divine powers, never claimed super Human Magic possession 

ü They had extreme Scriptures knowledge and experiential base when talking with the world.

ü They took students, Disciples who are still inspiring the world with their message 

ü They were Yogis with no materialistic possession

ü They never claimed themselves to be an Avatar, though their disciples called them out of devotion and love.

ü They concentrated on the Core Beliefs of Hindus as listed below;

• Truth is eternal. Hindus pursue knowledge and understanding of the Truth: the very essence of the universe and the only Reality.
• Brahman is Truth and Reality.
• The Vedas are the ultimate authority.
• Everyone should strive to achieve dharma.
• Individual souls are immortal. ...
• The goal of the individual soul is moksha.

 

Many of these gurus, saints, monks, yogi’s spiritual masters are respected in their movements and teachings; they have a Vedic tradition of spreading Vedic knowledge. Many who do not satisfy these conditions are considered cultic or occultists.

Jainism and Buddhism do not attach themselves to Vedic knowledge hence they stand as a religion on their own. (Buddhism is centered upon the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha, whereas Jainism is centered on the life and teachings of Mahavira.)  

God is everything and everywhere, but the active Spiritual presence is like a fire that must continuously be kept aglow. Countless inspired beings have contributed to this effort. Many of their names have been lost to eternity. There are many living or dead enlightened people and beings who have given gifts to the world by surrendering to the truth within.

Brahman is God
