|| Materialism makes us see others not as persons but as tools for achieving our materialistic goals ||
“Bhagavad Gita“
By P.M. Alchemy (Pen Name)
The Monk as a beginner
10 years ago, when I introduced myself to spiritualism. My first step was my craving of listening people .The people who speaks straight to the hearts .We admired some of spiritual “GURUS” as some of us are well exposed to all the spiritual books like GITA ,SUNDER KAND ,DURGA SHAPTSHATI ,HANUMAN CHALISA at very early age of 4 to 10 .Not Only Hindi ,some of us may have read Bible too .Doesn’t matter ,It is written in Sanskrit ,Awadhi or English .
The attention was drawn to the people who came to India and learned the hinduism,spirituality ,practice of the hindu philosophies .They were inspired and wanted to be healed at the same time .They came to the India as damaged soul ,they healed and explored the spirituality
The Public validation & Influence
The awakened & healed person can sense the vibe around him, and he can speak, influence or heal another person.The result of lot of reading and meditation inspired him to speak and share what he has gain in his journey of spiritualism .When people start attending those words and find it relevant in a thier own simple language at the same time, they find it difficult to read it in book from temple side shop .
Anyway,that is also good if human has developed a habit of listening .The speaker receives the acceptance and the validation from the spiritual audience .
The Stolen Ideas
The question is, “words” are already written somewhere in our Ancient books .Our parents kept telling us to read it and we find it embarrassing .But when someone changed and translated the ancient hindu ideas of human and human philosophies. Sound’s stealing the ideas ??
The case comes into consideration,when after attending few years of “sadhana ” and “spritual ” knowledge gain .Some of them who broken down during the process, later used it for thier own financial gain . These books and its ideologes are vast and not so easy to be copied.
So they did it from portion to portion or “shlok by shlok” .Those who understands sanskrit ,they know two lines of ancient sanksrit has deep and powerfull meanning .They used it as a content to gain popularity and fame .
Business & Marketing of spirituality
Those short-time monks, stolen the idea and content ,narrated into their own language and lebaled it as the original content.Some of them got the courage to apply the “Patent as Intellactual property rights “.They cleverly did marketing & monitised it by making quotes ,banners
,paid meet- ups ,email newsletters ,celebrity interviews and most commonly sociel media reels .They started forming their own following groups,camps and lateron they started costly courses just to be ” Spiritually Awakened“.
Summery
There was a time when as kid we use to make fun of our grand perents to attend SATSANG and BHAJAN .Now when someone,just did the interview with “kendell jenner” .We are ready to pay him thousands ,just to attend the courses of “Niravana“.Some one learned “GITA ” and applied on his life and then wrote a book ,got the attention of international media then he completely turned it into business.The motive of the article is the solution of any problem starts with the home or near to you ,try to find it with in your self.Even if not trust your education ,sooner or later you will find your answers.
