Gurus: the best businessmen of the era

April 7, 2007

Spirituality Boom

In the recent times many self-declared Spiritual Gurus are born like mushroom amidst us and they are looked upon as great solace by the mass of gullible people, who are more ‘peace and nirvana hungry’, because their stomachs are full and now looking for something beyond, you know it. These self-proclaimed enlightened Gurus have taken many new “avatars” like Corporate Gurus, Instant Gurus, Mobile Gurus, Global Gurus, you name it, you will find them.

One Guru (I don’t want to name) who has overnight become Global Guru, whose only mantra is to “breathe in and breathe out” (great new invention of him!) is now eyeing to grab Nobel Prize for his Peace/Piece work across the globe! This is the height of the mockery of spirituality. As long as gullible people are there, this kind of Gurus can flourish their business to a peak height. They can not only fool the mass of people but also the people at power. I have never heard a spiritual seeker or a spiritual seer hankering after titles and honours and enjoying it like these modern day self-styled gurus.

Second-hand knowledge of the self gathered from books or gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realisation will do that. Realise yourself, turning the mind inward.Tripura Rahasya, 18: 89

 Latest Flashes:

Just today (05 May 2007), I came across a blog on some Sri Sri Sri or She She She! One thing that really pained me there is that the disciples of a so called enlightened soul, reacting in such a “bastardly way”! I doubt, whether they are doing ’sudarshan kriya’ or ‘rakshash kriya’; they don’t have a simple openness to accept an alternative view. If somebody calls a true monk as ‘monkey’, the monk just laughs with that guy and goes – because the whole world knows that the poor monk is not a monkey! It’s so simple. These so called enlightened souls/gurus are creating another kind of ’subtle goondas’ around us, it seems! Anyway, hypocrisy is not good for the health of this world.

UG: a Unique Guy

April 7, 2007

Spiritual Ashes U G Krishnamurti, popularly called and known as UG by his admirers is no more, but in a sense he is “more” now in this world, such is the power and penetration of his words and wits that he has left and impacted on the trackless track of this world. It just catches “fire” and nothing less or more. Eventhough through rotten traditional lense UG appeared to be a Useless Guy, in a clean lense UG is forever a Unique Guy. As a humble admirer, at least I felt like expressing these words, not for praising UG, but just for my conviction, for that crazy UG doesn’t want people to remember and worship him both when he is alive as well as dead.

The contemporaries JK, Osho , and UG are unique in their own way in hammering this mad world. May the breed of these Unique Guys live more on this beautiful earth.

An Artistic Sketch of UG:

Ikuru's artistic conquest of UG! This is the art work ‘lovingly’ created by IKURU, who I understand, is an attached as well as detached remote admirer of UG too. Remote in the sense, he never had a chance to meet UG physically, only once he spoke with UG on phone, it seems. That reflects in this UG painting that he has created here. Ikuru always loves and adds more humors amidst the so called tumorous journey of our life. I would like to add a note that this ‘art piece’ is not hosted here in appreciation or ‘worshipping’ of UG, but rather as an appreciation of human expression of art and beauty. May long live our ‘heart and art’!
