Book Description
Dr. Jayant Athavale Started writing Holy texts with the blessings of his Guru H.H. Bhaktaraj Maharaj. These Holy texts impart knowledge on spirituality in scientific terminology and as per the present times. Due to god’s grace and sankalp-shakti of Dr. Athavale, some seekers of Sanatan are receiving Divine knowledge from the subtle-this is the unique feature of these Holy-texts.
Dr. Athavale’s guidance and research on God-realisation through various art forms and subjects such as mission of demoniacal energies and guidance for protecting humanity from them is taking place incessantly.
In the true sense, the ultimate goal of a human being is God- realisation. A person can achieve this goal by doing sadhana. To do that, he has to try to imbibe in himself all the virtues of God. Everyone has in him some virtues since birth. We should make appropriate use of these virtues and try to inculcate those that we lack. It is because of the numerous personality defects in us, that our sadhna is wasted. It effectively means that our personality defects are the obstacles in our spiritual progress. Making attempts to harness Divine qualities automatically helps in the elimination of personality defects.
This Holy text gives information on which virtues to develop specifically for better vyeshti sadhna (Individual spiritual practice); what is the importance of these virtues, what are the benefits of imbibing these virtues etc. (Virtues necessary for better samasthi sadhna [Spiritual practice done for the spiritual upliftment of the society] are considered in another Holy text.)
This Holy text includes information that sadhaks of Sanatan have received by God's grace on various topics such as the common man and sadhak and their types; sashna according to four vernas (Class); difference between a worker and a sadhak, reasons for reduction in physical, psychological and spiritual power; virtues at psychological and spiritual levels necessary for vyesthi st3dhant3 (For example curiosity, punctuality, consistency, yearning, humility, obedience, low ego, faith, bhav (Spiritual emotion), devotion, sacrifice, equanimity, Priti (Spiritual love devoid of expectations), Mumukshutva ( intense desire for attaining Moksha).
It is not that the inculcation of virtues is useful for sadhaks alone; it also helps a common person in making his life blissful and complete. We pray at the Holy feet of Sri Guru that may every individual get motivated to develop Divine virtues in him by reading this Holy text!
