This is one fear you can shed. India is part of the non-aligned movement ( NAM) which does not align itself with military alliances considering that both world wars which killed over a hundred million people and the cold war were a consequence of such military alliances. So there is no fear of India getting caught up in a third world war unlike the western nations and the Russia-China blocs. Switzerland is an another nation whose neutrality for centuries enabled it to escape the devastation of the two world wars which originated in europe and wrecked the other western nations embroiled in the conflict.

With everyone's blessings and guidance, I would like to create a thread dedicated to showcasing articles and books on reincarnation/rebirth case studies so that people can judge for themselves whether reincarnation has a basis in fact or not. In India I have come across a couple of reincarnation case studies in newspapers and acquaintances, which helped to keep an interest in this subject. After accessing the internet, I found to my surprise that there are similar cases in the West even though there are no teachings of reincarnation in its dominant religions and belief systems. Here is an insightful article about a young boy named James Leininger remembering his past life as a fighter pilot in the second world war and who died after his plane crashed into the ocean. https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/wp-content/uploads/sites/360/2017/04/REI42-Tucker-James-LeiningerPIIS1550830716000331.pdf https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1209795/Reincarnated-Our-son-World-War-II-pilot-come-life.html https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1550830716000331

Sadhguru is the kind of guy who used to expertly catch dangerous, venomous snakes like king cobras, cobras, vipers, kraits as a kid which had come to urban dwellings and brought them back to jungles as part of conservation. He did this skillfully and professionaly most of his life. I have seen videos of him in this regard as well. A single bite could snuff out his life as it has done with many others but he seemed happy and fascinated than scared. A guy who is comfortable dealing with venomous snakes is bound to be comfortable dealing with all kinds of external challenges, imho. That is why I am not much bothered about this latest issue. What I am concerned about is his increasing age and workload which is causing havoc to his health.

Reading Osho's books brought joy to my life as well as plenty of useful insights. He was one of those masters whose perspectives helped to bridge the gap between spirituality and materialism, considering them to be a complementary whole rather than at odds with each other. When it was reported to him that his books were being stolen by teenagers from exhibition stalls set in eastern european communist countries back then, he told the organizers to ignore the theft. This shows that he was more interested in the spreading of ideas. He died 34 years back and his books are good intellectual resources for humanity to profit from. One of my lamentations in life is that I did not get to study all his books at a much younger age.

You need to look at the positives. A large population also means a large market. If you can do your market research and create a product or service that fits the needs of the market, you can end up as a millionaire or billionaire. You can see many dollar billionaires and millionaires coming up in India each day, rags to riches stories, who were mentally strong and positive enough to build up their businesses from scratch to business empires. A local billionaire I know used to do hard manual work in his youth hoisting large gunny sacks of goods to his warehouse while he was building up his business from scratch , and not able to provide for labor costs back then. Action choreographer Veeru Devgan who later became a millionaire in his own right, used to live in his car at the early stages of his career as he could not afford the high rents then. Oscar winning director Satyajit Ray used to direct award winning and financially successful films on microscopic budgets, as he used to direct, write screenplay, do the music scores , casting process, editing and designing publicity material all by himself. This was due to multiple diverse skills he learnt and developed diligently so as to reduce production costs. Forbes had named him as the top ten directors of all time. B.K.S.Iyengar was stated by doctors in his time that he will not survive beyond 20 due to his multiple diseases. He learnt Hatha yoga from his brother-in-law, practiced diligently to improve his health, taught the same to the world to develop a successful teaching career earning wealth and fame, and later died at the ripe age of 95. Developing skills, going beyond your comfort zone willingly, application and courage can enable you to be successful in your chosen endeavor.

With the changing of seasons and the integrity of matter, the external form of the earth changes over time. The driving force behind this devolution is the human mind. The higher, pure consciousness manifests in a robust, verdant planet, while the lowest, impure consciousness produces a polluted, corroded state of existence. ~ Prajapita Brahmakumaris “The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconscious individuals not taking responsibility for their inner space.” ~ Eckhart Tolle I don’t want to tell anyone how much water they should use or shouldn’t use. But whatever you do – make it as conscious as possible. If you become conscious, you will only use as much as you need to. This will make a world of difference. Right now, we are behaving as if we’re the last generation on the planet. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev When you live consciously, your response to situation that arise will be agile and appropriate. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

To be able to perceive well without the filters of memory and imagination clogging the vision, there should be preparatory inner work beforehand. Otherwise one is bound to deludedly perceive the rope as a snake or a diamond as a stone. Without correct perception there is no correct action and proper results.

This is a well-written post. Yes, there are gems of enlightened sages and Avatars in different parts of the country, but finding them depends to a large extent on one's own spiritual merit gathered from this and past lives, as well as a receptive and dynamic mindset capable of correctly discriminating between the true and false. Some recognize and benefit enormously from these sages, while some are indifferent and even adversely critical of them all their lives increasing their demerit and deluded state. As Kabir had stated, " A diamond was laying in the street covered with dirt. Many fools passed by. Someone who knew diamonds picked it up."

Thank you for this. This is indeed a new concept for me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_wei What I am understanding from here is that action in Awareness enables one to be in the Tao or Natural Way in all actions and holistic development of things. Reactive unconscious actions on the other hands can lead to a false lopsided development and errors that is bound to take its toll in the long run and is bound to be regressive instead.

Interview of Dada Gavand.. https://o-meditation.com/category/dada-gavand/

Dattaram Gavand, a businessman, mystic, traveller and photographer, was born in Mumbai in 1917. The eldest child of his parents, he came to be called Dada or elder brother. Born with a philosophical and spiritual temperament Dada Gavand studied books on philosophy and spirituality and met and kept company with the likes of enlightened sages like Ramana Maharshi and Jiddu Krishnamurti and Mira Alfassa. Dada took over the family business at the age of 18 due to his father's demise and carried out the family responsibilities of taking care of his family till his brother and sisters married and settled in life. He chose to remain a bachelor himself and after taking care of his family responsibilities , focussed on his spiritual interests, leaving his cozy home and retiring to a hut on Mount Sajjangad close to nature, and began an inquiry unto himself. This episode resulted in his enlightenment after six months. The following is an interesting account from his autobiography 'Intelligence beyond thought' which contains a description of his practices that led to his waking up or enlightenment. https://realization.org/p/dada-gavand/how-dada-gavand-woke-up/how-dada-gavand-woke-up.html
