Krishna Consciousness - Part One Absolute Truth Is Atma Paramatma and Krishna Bhagavan

The author is practising yoga for over 35 years and has a variety of experiences to share with people. His experiences in the world of Shiva Shakti and Krishna Consciousness are breath-taking and any reader would be encouraged to toe the spiritual path with ease and determination. Some of the author's experiences are unique particularly when there is a syncronisation of Krishna Consciousness and Shiva Shakti. The most important thing is realisation of the "The Absolute Truth" which is defined in the Bhagavat Gita as realisation of the Atma, Paramatma and Krishna Bhagavan. The author discloses how The Absolute Truth was revealed to him. After the author joined the Krishna Consciousness movement i.e. Bhakti yoga, a totally new world was revealed to him. He realised that The Absolute Truth can be realised only after yogas cleanse the body, mind and Consciousness. Our inner Consciousness also undergoes a total transformation. This total cleansing of our Consciousness is not possible through merely Tantra or Kundalini yoga. A combination of Tantra and Bhakti yogas are necessary to achieve this. Once the Absolute Truth is realised, we have the potential to lead a happy and contented life. While animals, birds, insects, etc., have retained their original Consciousness over the past 1,500 years, human beings are slowly losing theirs. The degradation has happened to such an extent that the author finds it alarming. To the author's knowledge the word Consciousness does not figure in the Constituition of any country in the world. India which was the strongest advocate of Consciousness in the past, is teaching Constituition law to its law students without referring to Consciousness even in its preamble to the Constituition. The emphasis in the Constituitions of all the countries is merely intelligence and the intellect. About 1,500 or 2,000 years ago, when emphasis in ancient India was on Consciousness, India was the most prosperous country in the world. The corruption of Consciousness in the world is therefore a grave problem. Unless Consciousness is given its rightful place we are going to debase ourselves even further.At some point in our life, the Consciousness in all of us shall be aroused without fail. With this the cleansing process of our Body, Mind and Atma will begin. There is no escape from this process. This arousal can happen with or without our efforts. For some the arousal begins very early in life, in others in old age. But it will happen irrespective of our faith, religion, colour, caste or creed. If it happens without our knowledge, the process will rock all our senses because the cleansing process will reveal to us both Hell and Heaven. We have heard about art of living. Shouldn't we knowingly enjoy Hell and Heaven when our body and mind are active? This book is first of it kind to provide this information. Based on his experiences, the author makes out a case for promoting Bhakti yoga in The International Yoga Day celebrations. HARE KRISHNA
