“Vedic Renaissance.”

Vedic Renaissance. First let us understand why Vedic renaissance should happen. Because this tradition, the Vedic tradition again and again reminds you to achieve something in the inner world. It’s like a constant reminder, constant inspiration to work on the inner world, to transform yourself, to experience the different space, different world.

First time in the history of humanity, human-beings are enjoying such a luxurious, comfortable life, the outer world luxury and the outer world comfort, we have reached peak. The medical care or the outer world comforts or the communication or the luxury, you just can’t imagine what we have achieved. Same way just like how we are in the peak of luxury and comfort, we are in the peak of suffering and misery in the inner world. Humanity has never suffered so much in the inner world. The spiritual path poverty; we call that as spiritual poverty; we are living in a world which is experiencing spiritual poverty. Only Vedic renaissance can fill the gap, can help the people to achieve peace and bliss. Only with Vedic renaissance people will be able to experience the comforts and luxuries we have created.

Understand, through the outer world, through the outer science you may create a beautiful bed but only with the Vedic system you will have deep sleep. You may create all possible luxurious things, you may create all comforts, to experience peace, to experience life you need Vedic renaissance. Somebody needs to remind you, somebody to give you the experience that you are beyond this body, beyond this mind; you are beyond all the sufferings of the outer world. Your inner space is untouched by anything that belongs to the outer world. Only Vedic renaissance can do that. Experiencing the spiritual truth, experiencing the inner world, experiencing your own consciousness happens when the Vedic renaissance happens inside you.

Understand, when I say Vedic renaissance, I am not telling you to go and change the whole world, no. let the Vedic renaissance happen in you first. First we need to understand. First we need to internalize. First we need to transform our life. In Vedic tradition we don’t believe in conversion. We don’t believe in going around and preaching. We believe more in practicing. We believe more in creating intense vibration or the spiritual space, spiritual intensity. Vivekananda beautifully says, an ordinary teacher who is going around and meeting thousands of people will not be able to create such an intense energy like a person who is sitting in a cave and just radiating his enlightenment. Understand, Vedic dharma is so courageous it discourages even preaching. It says let you achieve, let you radiate, simply everything else will happen.

For the renaissance of the dharma, renaissance of the Vedic tradition first you need to do, let you become a seeker, let you understand what for you are living. When I use the word seeker; let me define the word properly. I mean person who understands the outer world is not everything. Whoever has got the clarity that the outer world is not everything, life is something more than the outer world. Whoever has got that clarity, whoever feels that life is something more than the outer world; life is something more than what you experience through your eyes and ears; life is a little more than what you experience through senses; whoever understands life is more than what you experience through your senses, you become seeker. You start seeking which is beyond the five senses. You start seeking the truth, you start seeking something which is beyond your senses. In Sanskrit we call that mumukshutva, means start seeking something which is beyond your senses.

Sankara the great master says, manushvathva, mumukshutva, mahapurusha sangama. Manushvathva, having human body; mumukshutva, seeking towards the higher self; mahapurusha sangama, the experience with the enlightened being, having the darshan or the touch of an enlightened being. All these three are very rare to achieve. After achieving all these three, somebody is not enlightened he is called fool. No other word because you have everything. And you did not use it and there is no other word. Sankara says all these things are greatest things which can happen to any human being.

Seeking first thing, you need to start seeking. Once in a while when you really feel the life is really not under your control understand in a civilized society especially living in a city you are given a wrong impression by your mind, your life is under your control. I always tell people go and live in Himalayas for sometime. If you live in the Himalayas for sometime you will realize that life is beyond your control. You will understand your life cannot be controlled just by your logic. It is beyond your control. You will be reminded your logic is not the master; your logic is not the master. But in these kinds of societies, the cities almost you are very clear about your routine. From morning till night you will know how you will walk in which car you will move, where you will reach, what you will do or what you will not do and how you will come back and what is your next routine. Even if there is a small accident you know there is life insurance. There is insurance. Practically, your ego gives an idea, your logic teaches you, and your logic gives you the sort of feeling that your life is under your logic. Unconsciously you start believing your life is under your logic. That is why whenever some incidents happen which is beyond your logic which is not under your control, you are totally shaken. You are completely shaken, you are not able to handle, and you don’t know what to do. Either you fall in depression or suffer, suffer, suffer. You always expect, you always believe unconsciously that life is going to be filled with incidents which will be under your control where your logic is going to play everything, where your logic is going to be the leader. Suddenly when the truth is told to you, of course life again and again reminds you the truth that your life is beyond your logic, especially somebody in your family or friend circle dies or some accident, losing job or something. Suddenly you will see life is not under your control. Your logic is not the leader. Life is beyond your logic, life is beyond you, you start seeking. Then you start seeking.

Few intelligent people start seeking the law of life. Understand, you know the law of the outer world. Whoever wants to understand the law of the inner world, they called that as the dharma. Dharma is the word we use for the law of the inner world, means the law of the cosmic energy. Whoever is trying to search, whoever is trying to seek, whoever is trying to understand the law of the inner world is called mumukshu. He is called seeker.

First thing, you need to work, you need to start seeking towards the law of life, dharma. What is really dharma? What for the human birth is offered to me? What I am really supposed to achieve? These few questions are the basic need for the Vedic renaissance in you. Understand, if Vedic renaissance happens in you all that is more than enough. Don’t bother how to create Vedic renaissance in others. I always see people who are too busy in creating vedic renaissance in others will never allow that to happen in themselves because they are too busy in looking at others, chiseling others, working on others they forget that they need to work on themselves. They forget they need to work on their own being. Many people come and ask me, ‘Swamiji, how should I express my gratitude to you? I feel I received so much, how can I help.’ I always tell people just meditate. That is the best thing you will do for me. That is the greatest service you will do for me. People ask me, no, no, no, should I do something for your mission? I tell them first work towards enlightenment that is the best thing you will do for my mission.

People who try just to work for the mission without working towards enlightenment, they will be the biggest problem creators. They create only politics. They will create only politics. You see people who are not working towards their own enlightenment, who are just working for the mission or the public, they create all politics. They create all problems. If you start doing service without having enough inner maturity, you will only create more problems for people. You will create trouble so that you can start serving. I have seen people first who create trouble and then start serving. See unless you create trouble in the world how will you serve. So people who want to serve will first create problem. And in the same way I have seen the so called teachers just because they should start teaching they will create a problem which does not exist. I have seen these so called teachers who themselves have not become enlightened, who start teaching. If a person if he is not enlightened and if he starts teaching he will create more problem to society that what they have already.

An enlightened person will live in a totally different way. Your logic or your mind will never be able to put that person in a frame. You can’t put him in one frame. But with the teachers you can always expect how they will behave. How they will be and you can always expect and put them in one frame. So it is easy for your mind to believe teachers. It is difficult to trust masters because master’s first work will be shaking you. I always tell people that if you feel you are totally shaken, whatever you believe, whatever ideas you carry is shaken, be very clear that the master has started showering his compassion on you, his grace on you. Only when he showers his grace, only when he showers his compassion your whole being will be shaken. Your whole being will be transformed.

First thing you need to understand for Vedic renaissance, it is seeking. Let the seeking start happening inside you. The big problem with our mind, whenever it listens to these great words, for few days you will really cherish them. But again slowly your old inner chattering comes back, over. Slowly your old mental set up will come back. When your old mental set up comes back, you are again running. The peer pressure or the society just makes you run, you are running towards the whole which is not going to give you fulfillment and which is not going to make you feel alive. I always tell people the great difficulty in a rat race is even if you win you are a rat. Even if you win you are just a rat. Run, run, run, what for, you don’t even know. Many times people tell me, no, no, no, to take care of basic needs but once you know that you have enough of the basic needs and all the things are taken care, after that do you think you will stop? Now you are habituated for running. See by the time you achieve everything to relax and enjoy, now you are trained to worry, you are trained to run. If you stop running you will feel lonely. You will feel something is missing. You feel something is seriously absent. In you being you feel something more needs to be added. Something needs to be achieved. Seeking is the basic quality first thing for Vedic renaissance.

The next thing, a very important truth, seeking which starts in you should not be just an emotion, should not be just a thought. It should be a deep understanding. Seeking plus understanding leads to transformation. See if you are just a seeker anybody can give you words. Anybody can sell words to you and it can be used for anything. When the understanding is added to the seeking, you will see you are more balanced. When I say understanding, please understand this word understanding very clearly, because this word is really important. Use only one scale to measure what you are taught is right or wrong. Whatever ideas you are taught by masters or books does it add more and more honesty in you, means truthfulness in you. Does it add more and more chit, consciousness in you? Does it make you more conscious and aware of all the inner happenings, does it add more joy and bliss, ananda in you. Just use this one scale, sat, chit, ananda. Are you becoming more and more honest? Sat, truthful, are you becoming more and more aware, chit, conscious, are you becoming more and more ananda, blissful by these teachings or the masters. This is what I call understanding. Please understand, flood all the truth or message you are receiving with this one idea. Are you becoming more and more intelligent, truthful? Only an intelligent person will be truthful in his life. Are you becoming more and more aware, Chit, what is happening inside you? Are you becoming more and more blissful, Ananda? Understand, all these three will always be together because they are the same energy with different names.

Your being, the life which is inside your body if it expresses through your head, intellect, it is called intelligence, sat. If it expresses through your heart, it is called consciousness, awareness, Chit, compassion. If it just stays inside your being, it is called ananda, bliss. Same energy with three different names. Just see whatever your are learning, if it is making all these three in your life then you are traveling in the right path for seeking, then understanding. When the seeking and understanding is added naturally you will start experiencing enlightenment. Do not think enlightenment is something which will happen in one moment. It will happen in one moment in the end in a different way. But as on now if you understand enlightenment as a gradual process it will really help you.

Enlightenment experience or the truth will be a sudden explosion, sudden experience but as on now, if you understand that as a gradual process you will be encouraged to move towards it, to work towards it. If you think of only the sudden enlightenment, the one flash every chance you will fall in depression. People ask me, Swamiji, I did two day meditation, I did not become enlightened. God, you think he is waiting, when you will close your eyes so that he can appear in front of you. I think he has got much better job. Sudden enlightenment idea, we always have a problem of you getting depressed. But with gradual progress you will not feel depressed, you will be inspired to work more and more. Add this understanding; are you becoming more and more intelligent, more and more aware, more and more blissful? These three will not be separate, they will always together. If these things are happening in you, the vedic renaissance are happening on the planet earth. Understand when you change, the whole world will change. When your attitude towards yourself changes you will attract different kind of people around you. Always people our come and tell me Swamiji, all my friends left me after I started meditating, no its a big problem. Please understand it is not that they left you, you left them. You don’t have anything common; you don’t have anything else to talk. I am successful in creating so many communities around the world more than one thousand people are living inside our communities. People ask me, Swamiji, how so many communities are getting created? I tell them, all you need to do is just create a real sincere seeking. Once you start really sincerely seeking you will see that you are attracted towards the spiritual community and you will attract spiritual community around you. Automatically you attract a spiritual community around you. I always tell people, all I need to create a community is one sincere seeker, that’s all. Only one sincere seeker in a city is enough to create a beautiful spiritual community. Because his seeking is so intense that he will attract that kind of people around him.

Understand when a seeker attracts the same kind of people around him it will be such a beautiful, peaceful arrangement, peaceful community and no legal structure is necessary. No rules are necessary, no regulations are necessary. The whole thing will be so beautiful, the whole thing will be so clear they will live in dharma; they will live in the natural law of life. Understand, the natural law is what we call dharma. When you all gather, you all just know, simply you all feel, I think he will do that, he will do this, I will do that. Each one will stand and take charge of something. I call this as dharmic administration; administration through the dharma, administration through the natural law of life; administration through the truth. Understand the ancient Vedic tradition, in the ancient Gurukulam system, there was no community based on birth. It was purely based on the activity.

A person who doesn’t have anything else except his time, who shares his time is called a worker. A person who shares little products, can create little products through his time. He creates some products, some jewellery or cloth or something and sells. He shares the products, he is called vysya, seller, merchant, business community. A person who shares confidence on an ideology, who inspires people to stay together, who keeps the whole thing alive, who is father of the community, he is called kshatriya; the warrior community or the inspirers. Person who shares enlightenment, knowledge leads the whole group towards the higher truth; he is called brahmana, the saint.

Understand, we did not create communities based on birth. The tradition created communities based on the activities. Person who shares his time is a worker; person who shares some products is vysya; person who shares courage and confidence is kshatriya; person who shares knowledge, enlightenment is brahmana. This is the way our tradition was created. This is the way the Vedic system was created. Understand the only way to bring the Vedic system back, to allow the renaissance to happen; to help the renaissance you need to understand the whole truth how the law of the life works and how the dharma happens. For example in some field you will feel more courageous but may be due to your engraved memories or samskaras in some field, you will not feel confidence and courage. You will not feel courage or confidence. You will not feel that you will be able to face that situation. You can see women who can face her husband will not be able to face just a small insect. A rat is enough to shake her or a small insect is enough to frighten her. Samskara, the engraved memory or even just darkness is enough to make her completely shiver in the fear. Even in your life at sometime, in some situations you will express so much of courage and confidence but in some place you will not be able to stand,

So the law of life is where ever you feel confident, you share that. Understand one more thing, an important thing; a brahmana does not need to be a brahmana through out his life, all 24 hours, no. a vysya need not be a vysya all 24 hours, no. A kshatriya need not be a kshatriya all 24 hours, no. a worker need not be a worker all 24 hours. It is like sometime you play the role of a kshatriya, means giving confidence. Sometime you play the role of a vysya sharing products; sometime you play the role of sharing knowledge, enlightenment. So it is just the job, it is just the thing which you do in you life also. Understand this one truth where you need to play the job of vysya, where you need to play the job of a kshatriya, where you need to be a worker, where you need to be a brahmana, your whole life will be beautiful. Big problem is you do not know how to remove your personality and go to the next personality; how to use personalities like a coat and you are caught in one personality. Using the wrong personality in the wrong place is what I call ego. Understand where you need to be very polite and humble, if you are arrogant, violent it is egoistic. And where you need to be very arrogant, courageous if you are polite and humble you are egoistic. Understand always we think, no, no, no, if I am humble how I can be egoistic, no. ego turning topsy, turvy is also ego, inferior ego. One small incident, the incident happened in the great master, Ramana Maharshi. One of his disciples’s translated one of his books into different language. In the translation, in the front side of the book his name is also published, translated by, that person’s name. When the disciple saw the book, he went and told Bhagawan, ‘Bhagawan, they shouldn’t have put my name, I don’t feel that my name should be publicized. I am not that kind of a person’. He then went and shouted at the administration. Then Bhagawan said, ‘the ego which asked the name and the ego which asked that my name should not be put, both are one and the same’. If you ask, my name should be there and my name should not be there, both are ego, relax. Bhagawan beautifully says, it is called inferior ego, the ego which is trying to show the humbleness. Understand with a superiority complex, with a violent aggressive ego at least society will teach you, you have ego. With a humble ego you will escape from the society. That is more dangerous. That is very dangerous and is called cunning ego. The ego which can nicely save itself.

The real Vedic renaissance can happen if you understand where you need to be. A vysya, a business man, the problem is with his family you do the vysya job, business. In the business field where you are supposed to do business there you will do charity or there you act like a worker. In the family you can’t carry the same personality of business. There you need to be more a kshatriya means sharing confidence. There your business will not work. The big problem is having lost the attitude or idea of trusting others and because you lost that idea, you can’t think in any other way except the way of business. I was surprised and shocked when I saw in this country; people are having their own accounts without the knowledge of husband or wife. Many families have got their own wealth means the husband will not know or the wife will not know means what, that you have a clear business contract. Please understand, you may be living in one house but not living together. You do not know how to handle these four personalities where to do the business and where to give confidence. One more thing if you are not able to trust others, the other person, be very clear same way you will not teach that person also to trust you. Never ever think only you are not trusting that person, and he or she is trusting you, no. if you are not trusting, and the other person is also not trusting. If only when you feel insecure with the other person, you don’t trust. How you will feel insecure? Somewhere you the data, information that he is not trusting you. So the trust happens if you behave like a kshatriya, means the father. If you take the whole responsibility on your shoulder the trust happens. See seeking or understanding brings Vedic renaissance in you.

Understanding the law of life, dharma, means the vysya, kshatriya, brahmana and worker, these four style, the community style the law of our dharma; the law of our natural life our dharma, will bring Vedic renaissance in your family. Step by step I am explaining how the Vedic renaissance can be brought first in your personality, then in your family and then in your community. First thing seeking and understanding to bring Vedic renaissance in you. Second thing understanding the natural law means the dharma; the law of life, how our masters created the communities based on the attitude and personality, based on the work you are supposed to do. Understanding this will bring Vedic renaissance in your family. Understand, still in Bharatn villages hundreds of people live together as one family. Still I know the families in which more than one hundred people are members; one hundred people living under one roof. I have seen more than one hundred people living under one roof with one kitchen. How this is possible? One single proper kshatriya is there means the person who gives confidence. All you need to do is be a right kshatriya and give confidence where ever you need to. Do business outside the home and not inside. If you are doing business inside the home you are bringing wrong personality to the wrong place means, ego. A person who can’t say yes where he needs to say yes is egoistic. Person who can’t say no, where he needs to say no is egoistic. Ego does not mean only violent or aggressive. Even if you can’t say no, where you need to say no, be very clear you are egoistic. You are too much bothered about others opinion. That is the reason you have to say yes even when you don’t want to say yes. You will think, no,no, no what they will think about me, ego, you want big ego satisfaction. If you understand how to play these different roles, where you need to be a worker, where you need to be a vysya, means the business man, where you need to be a kshatriya, giving confidence and where you need to be a brahmana, sharing knowledge.

When you are counseling, helping somebody who is in depression you are doing the job of a brahmana. You are leading the person to more light, you are radiating knowledge. So try to handle your different personalities. See instead of counseling whenever you need to counsel, you start using your warrior personality. You start using your kshatriya mould when you need to use the brahmana mould. You start using your vysya mould when you need to use kshatriya mould. That is where the problem starts. That is why the joint family system, living as a community has disappeared. You can’t find depression in them, in communities because you have so many people to relate. If you have to talk to the same person from morning till evening, if you have to see the same person in the house naturally you will feel bored. You will feel how many days can I see the same person. And after one or two years, you will know the answers he will give. For any problem you will know exactly the word. If you tell this word, what word he will speak you know. So you start thinking, why to tell this and get the same reply, I will repeat that word also. You will feel bored. The boredom starts happening when you are relating only with one person. One more thing, when you have different choices, you can create groups, you will feel attracted towards somebody, you will feel attracted towards one group and you will have more freedom to interact. One more thing, when you interact with so many people your personality also becomes rich. Enrich yourself, you will learn many things and you have freedom, you will have a little more space. If you are angry with somebody, two days you can stop talking to him and you can talk to somebody else. No you have choice in the joint family, in the community system.

Understand the greatness of the Vedic rishis who created this whole system, who created our Vedic way of living, you have choice. But now if you are angry towards you husband of wife, of course, you won’t talk to that person but you will not have anybody else to talk and you are sitting with your TV. How long you can sit with your TV. One more thing, when you talk to somebody else, and open yourself either you will get some consolation or counseling. The possibility of healing exists. When you don’t have anybody else to open, naturally no possibility for healing exists. You go an give all your money to the psychiatrist. See in Bharat sadhus are respected, sadhus means sanyasis. They are used like psychiatrist. They do the job of psychiatrists by listening to you. First thing, they listen to you. Second thing either they console you, if you are right you are given consolation. If you are wrong, you are given counseling. Something is done, you have somebody to relate with. The possibility for healing exists. That is why in the joint families depression is less, suicide rate is less and people live more happily. Again one thing which is basically required for the joint family system is you should know where to put on the mask of the worker; where to put on the mask of vysya, business man; where to put on the mast of a kshatriya, a warrior; where to use the mask of brahmana. One more thing even a child can be a brahmana for you. He can teach you many things when you are in depression. When you are in low mood he can teach you, he can give you courage, he can give you confidence, he can help you to stand. Helping others or helping each other to stand up again and again is what we call the grihasta dharma. Ramakrishna says beautifully, grihasta dharma is like fighting from inside the fort. You can throw your arrows but you will not be disturbed. You are inside the fort. You are safe but you can always fight with your enemy because you have the security. Grihasta dharma is like fighting inside the fort. But sanyas dharma is directly facing the enemy face to face. You don’t have protection. When you are in depression or low mood there is nobody who will lift you up. But in grihasta dharma, the possibility for healing, possibility for consolation is more. But the difficulty is now in the single family system, small family system where the husband wife and the child are living together, in this kind of a system, you are all practically swamis, because for you also there is nobody to lift you up. No I can say you are much worse the swamis because not only there is anybody to lift you up, there is somebody to always push you down. There is somebody always to push you down. It is a big difficulty. If you understand how to play these different roles; understand life itself is after all a psycho drama; no it’s the truth, simply psycho drama. If you understand you are playing this drama again and again and again you will realize just being a brahmana is not something great. Just being kshatriya is not something great. It is just one more role, that’s all. People who never play a role in the drama will only be greedy for a role. If you try to play a few days then you will understand that this is also one more work that’s all. I always tell people, people ask me, ‘swamiji what is there for you, people respect you, receive you. You just speak and come away; it’s not a big job. And I tell them please come and sit on the throne for two days. Just sit here and listen to all the worries and complaints people are giving. If you can listen to all the worries and complaints and everything people tell you and go back and sleep in a relaxed way you are enlightened. No really. You don’t have to give them energy darshan, you don’t have to give them some support, and you don’t have to give them consoling of counseling, nothing. You just tell them I am in mouna (silence) and you just tell I will listen. Whenever I send new brahmacharis for training I tell them, the brahmachari is in mouna, you just tell and they will listen because if he opens his mouth he will prove that he doesn’t know anything. It is better that he is in mouna so that people will not think that he doesn’t know anything. All you need to do is just sit and listen to people and try to go back and sleep and you won’t be able to. If you do the job of the brahmana you will understand that this is also one job, that’s all. This is also one work, that’s all, nothing else.

The whole life is just psycho drama. See because you are there I am here, nothing else. Because disciples are there guru is there. Because somebody is a brahmana, somebody is a kshatriya. Because somebody is a kshatriya, somebody is a vysya, that’s all. See it is just a psycho drama, who chooses to play which role that’s all. Its purely your choice. If you are attracted too much towards one choice go and try to play that game. In one month everything will become alright. One person went to Arunachala, the place of Ramana Maharishi and said master, such a high energy place, so beautiful, so amazing I know why you feel so blissful and peaceful here, because of this place. Ramana Maharishi says just stay here for one month everything will become alright. See I am not saying that Arunachala is not the energy centre or peaceful place but your mind will take it for granted. In one month your mind will say, ah! I know all these things. You will take people for granted, you will take place for granted and you will take things for granted. Understand, when you take things for granted naturally life will be boring. Whenever you are trying to be greedy or jealous of the other role try to play that, you will understand the whole thing is just a psycho drama. Only if you live that life you will understand that it is nothing else; one more role being played. I am not joyful because I am playing the role of the guru. I am joyful because I understood all the roles of foolishness. No role is going to give joy. Joy is supposed to come from your own being and not from any role which you are playing. That is why I am joyful. I always tell people, whenever this especially these swamis or brahmacharis when they take training, they feel little jealous. We are also talking the same thing, Swamiji is also talking the same thing. But why so much of crowd is gathering for Swamiji. Sometime I tell them, today is my program, I am not going but you go and conduct the program. Just few days I send them and they understand that this is one more psycho drama that’s all nothing more. If you understand that all roles which you are playing is not equivalent to your self then you will know where to play which role, that’s all. You will not be caught too much with the vysya attitude or too much with the kshatriya attitude.

Here in this country especially I saw all the people are caught too much with one attitude. You hold on to some one attitude. You do not know how to live the life playfully by easily moving from other attitudes. See when you need to play the businessman role play it. When you come out just play some other role. Moving from role to role, playing all the roles, a person who can play all the four roles who is beyond; he has understood he is beyond all the four roles is called Paramahamsa. Paramahamsa is a person who can play all the four roles and who is not attached to one role; who is not attached to one attitude.

All you need to do is to understand the utility of these roles and futility of these roles. If you understand the utility of these four roles and futility of these four roles, you will live, you will bring. Understand if somebody believes that god is in the form of Krishna from the young age and god will appear to him only in that form. If somebody believes that god is in the form of Buddha, god will give darshan to him only in that form.

Understanding the uniqueness of samskaras, engrams and respecting all the engrams and all the unique engram structures will be bring Vedic renaissance in the whole community. See when you understand the uniqueness of every faith you will never try to convert, you will only help them to go beyond. See helping a person to become enlightened is not conversion. Helping somebody for transformation is not conversion. Still now no Vedic tradition, whether it is Hinduism or Buddhism or Jainism or Sikhism, all of them do not have any ritual for conversion, no. we don’t have rituals for conversion because we don’t believe in conversion. All we believe is whatever you are living, live intensely, and transform your life. Helping somebody to transform is not conversion. It has nothing to do with conversion. When you understand the uniqueness of every person’s faith, every person’s samskaras, engrams you will bring Vedic renaissance in the outer world.

If you try to convert somebody by greed or fear you are not respecting the uniqueness os his samskaras, engrams. You are not respecting that person. You are counting him only as a number. See in the army, you are given only the number, one, two, three, four like that. When you do not respect that persons uniqueness you are counting him only as a number. If you count him as a number, only then you try to convert. In the Vedic tradition we don’t believe in conversion because we respect every being’s unique samskaras and unique set up of engrams. First try to bring seeking and understanding inside you so that Vedic renaissance will happen in you.
