Spiritual Progression

• Every Jivatma progresses• They have their own pace• Ultimately they reach brahman (home)• Is there anything beyond brahman?



Goal of Life as per Veda

• Sun God (Air) - Dharma• Lord Ganesh(Water)- Artha• Devi Durga (Fire) - Kama• Lord Siva (Earth) - Moksha • Lord Visnu (Akasa) - Moksha

Panchopasana (Hinduism):


What about Krishna Devotees..?

• They do not want Dharma..• No Artha !• No Kama !!• Kick out even Moksha !!!

Then… Why should one worship Krishna? “Moksha Laghutā Kārinî” (Krishna bhakti derides even moksha)


How do Devatas give boons

“Boons from Devatas are TEMPORARY…

Even that has to be sanctioned by Me only.”

Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita:

All worships go to BhagavanYe’py anya devatā bhaktāYajante sraddhayān vitāhTe’py mām eva kaunteyaYajanty avidhi-pūrvakam (Gita. 9.23)


“O Kaunteya, those who worship other devatas with faith, actually worship Me alone, but in a way that is unauthorized!”

If all worships go to Bhagavan, then why worshipping Devatas don’t get liberation?


• Devatas are limbs of Bhagavan.• They are Vibhuti Svarupa• Devatas are not independent

Why some say all go to same place?Yathadri prabhava nadyah

Parjanya puritah prabho

Visanti sarvatah sindhumTatvat tvam gatayo ‘ntatah (SB. 10.40.10)


“As rivers born from the mountains and filled by the rain, flow from all sides into the sea, so do all these paths in the end reach you, O master!”

Bhagavad Gita 12.12 (Bhakti Yoga):

“Better than abhyasa is Jnana…

Superior to Jnana is Dhyana..This frees desire to enjoy Swarga (Heavan)…”

“Sravanam kirtanam visnoh Smaranam pāda sevanamArchanam vandanam dāsyam Sakhyam ātma-nivedanam “

What frees desire to enjoy in Heaven ?
