New Paradigms In Our Understanding Of Spirituality (From a paper presented at an International Conferance at Bangkok (Thailand) on 14th March 2019 by Dr. Mahesh Bhatt)

On comparing available information on the internet and analyzing them we can say Spirituality is a human thought like all other thoughts, and still, it is evolving. We can find the strong view of connecting of spirituality and religions ; it started transforming after 15the century with the advent of the scientific revolution, where scientific thought process started taking a central role in the collective human thought processes. The relationship between spirituality and religions also find newer dimensions after increasing interactions and understandings between eastern and western philosophies. Scientific and industrial revolutions provide answers to many questions and fears of human survival and the existence of life on earth, which were earlier in the domains of gods, religions, and religious practices. In 19 th and 20 th centuries, the spiritual thought gradually being considered as an evolved thought of human brain, it started being perceived as a different thoug...

Definition of Spiritual Health.

  Spiritual Health Spiritual Health can be defined as "A state of complete balance of thoughts in the ecosystem of all thought processes in our brain, for a positive effect on our physical, mental, and social health." Spiritual Health is considered the fourth dimension of our health. Other three dimensions physical, mental, and social health always affected by our thoughts. The positive thoughts, which are the thoughts of humanity and human values always have a significantly positive effect on all dimensions of our health.

Environment and Health - A Spiritual Concept of Life and Environment Protection.

Health as it is defined by WHO as "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely an absence of a disease or infirmity." is the widely accepted definition of human health. A fourth dimension of "Spiritual Health" is also added to the existing three dimensions namely Physical, Mental, and Social dimensions. If we see this definition, it is a human thought and a concept, which see the human health beyond the body. Naturally, this concept of health cannot exist without a conducive healthy environment. Human health took the center stage in all the discourse of environmental issues, pollution, and climate change. Since life is precious on earth and human life is considered the most evolved form of life, this important fact made human health and environment two inseparable entities and thoughts in collective human consciousness. The spirituality and spiritual thinking, which gave the modern concept of health a completeness also reflected in ...

आध्यात्मिकता एवं दीपावली,

हम आध्यात्मिक सोच को इस उदाहरण से समझ सकते हैं। हम सभी ने दीवाली मनाई, हम सब खुश हुए इसका हमारे स्वास्थ्य पर अच्छा असर हुआ। लेकिन इस खुशी में हमने पटाखे जलाये, अत्यधिक शोर मच...

Spirituality Defined Through the Prism of Religions is Misleading.

We have the fantastic world of our thoughts, which are the products of the biochemical reactions and movement of ions in and out of the neuron cells of our brain, we call them as 'Thought Processes.' We have evolved and developed them in a natural evolutionary process of millions of years. These are behind the creation of success story of the species Homo sapiens, which put them at the apex of the animal kingdom with its immense powers (both negative and positive). So, we have a factory of different thought processes in our brain which are churning out various thoughts continuously. We have roots of all our thoughts in our evolutionary history, and it's biology. During the journey of the evolution of thoughts in Homo sapiens from the basic animal thoughts to the modern human views of culture, science, and philosophy, Human ideas evolved with all their negativities as well. The capacities of the human brain are due to its effective thought processes. As the Homo sapiens ...

Concepts Of Positive Energy In Our Thought Processes

#SpiritualHealth Energy is the universe and universe is energy. We can understand it with this simple scientific logic that each and every object living or non-living is made of atoms, and atoms are made up of many subatomic particles, if we peek inside those atoms we will find different strata of energy spinning around a nucleus, we call it atomic energy. It is not possible for the universe to exist without energy. Similarly, life is energy. Plants store energy from the sun and pass it to food chain which runs the life in the animal kingdom. From the strict laws of physics, energy cannot be divided into the categories of positive energy and negative energy, but we have positive and negative impact of energy on our health, social and cultural life. So, that energy which have good results for our health and life, we call it positive energy and if it is adverse then we call it as negative energy. We can understand it with a simple example, suppose somebody run for a distance to d...

Extreme Religiosity Hampers and Obstructs Our Spirituality

YOU CAN BUY THE BOOK "SPIRITUAL HEALTH" HERE #SpiritualHealth Religiosity can potentially change our thoughts to extremist thoughts. In such a situation someone can kill themselves or can kill others. We are witnessing both the circumstances around us globally. When eleven people of one family in Delhi kill themselves on the name of some belief or religious ritual, indeed, it is the transformation of religious thought process into an extreme thought process. It turned into a psychological disorder, which appeared in its cruel forms without any apparent signs and symptoms since religious rituals are considered normal in society, and when we noticed it, it has spoiled many lives. It is evident in all such incidences in the recent past. In our society, we erroneously take religion and spirituality as the same or synonymous. In fact, we follow a religion, belief, cult or guru for spiritual peace and it is their prime duty to nurture and develop our spirit...

Science Can Be A Religion In Future

          (You Can Buy "Spiritual Health" written by Dr. Mahesh Bhatt Here) Science is the systemic study of nature. Science is the result of our critical thinking process. It started with our critical thinking ability to look into the different natural processes, and initially, we ended up calling them miracles of nature. So, it pushed us to make room for hypothetical thinking. In this process, we created many possible explanations to understand all that was happening around us, in that process we created many theoretical concepts, including the existence of some supernatural power (God)—people of different faiths name it and imagine it in various forms. All of this was a continuous effort by our brain to know Nature and its functioning. We created many mythological characters that can do what our brain thinks to do. Characters that can treat our illnesses, characters that can fly, characters that can see the things in remote areas, c...

Defining Spirituality In Hindi

आप इस किताब को यहाँ क्लिक कर खरीद सकते हैं अतिधार्मिकता हमारे विचारों को अतिरेक से भर देती है। इसमें कोई दूसरे की जान ले लेता है तो कोई अपनी जान दे देता है। दोनों ही उदाहरण हम अपने चारों ओर देख रहे हैं। दिल्ली में जब एक ही परिवार के 11 लोग अपनी जान दे देते हैं, वो भी किसी विश्वास या धार्मिक आस्था के अनुष्ठान के तहत, तो ए भी निश्चित तौर पर अतिधार्मिक विचारों का अतिरेकी (extreme) रूपांतरण है। ये सीधे तौर पर एक मानसिक ब्याधि बन जाता है, लेकिन इसका आभास किसी को नहीं हो पाता, क्योंकि समाज मे पूजा करना या धार्मिक होना कोई बुराई नहीं माना जाता है ओर जब तक पता लगता है तो तब तक बहुत देर हो चुकी होती है जैसा कि उक्त घटना में हुआ लगता है। हमारे समाज में हम धर्म एवं आध्यात्म को एक ही मानने की भूल कर बैठते हैं। हम कोई भी धर्म, गुरु, या पंथ की शरण में आध्यात्मिक शांति के लिए ही जाते हैं। अगर देखा जाय तो विश्व के सभी धर्मों, विश्वासों, गुरुओं आदि का काम यही है कि वो हमारी आध्यात्मिकता को पोषित करें, लेकिन होता इसका उल्टा है। इन सभी जगहों पर अध्यात्मिकता के नाम पर धार्मिकता को बढ़ा...

Spiritual Journey Of A Doctor, A Thought On The Occasion Of This Doctors Day.

Being a surgeon and practicing surgery for more than two decades, most of my working hours were full of emotions filled with smiles, sufferings, hope, helplessness, happiness, and tears. We doctors see happiness and smiles with a lot of hope with the birth of a child at one moment and rushing a newborn to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) next moment. We faced almost all kind of different difficult challenges of life and death entwined with many social, economic and political problems. Most of the time we consider it as a part of our daily professional life, but many times it shakes our scientific, religious and cultural knowledge and beliefs. This unique nature of our work with its urgency and emergency to save the precious human life create a complexness in our natural human thought processes. Health in itself is a complicated issue. In this broader context of health, doctors are supposed to treat the patients and provide advice for prevention, promotion, and maintenance of ...

What Is Wrong With Different Belief Systems?

Any belief system is made up of specific thoughts and dogma, these thoughts and doctrine make the core of it and work as a cohesive force for binding and attracting its followers for different aims and objectives. Most of the time these aims and objectives are defined by the various human needs, those may be social, cultural, religious, and spiritual. Therefore, the thoughts behind any belief system have two components, one is the component of humanity and human values, it has the ideas of love, brotherhood, and compassion among its followers and the second component which potentially become larger in due course of time is its practices and rituals which create its identity. Interestingly in all belief systems, the first component will remain common, it makes the foundation for their existence. It is the second component which is projected as the face of the different belief systems since it separates one from another. Many myths and conceptions are created, they are required for tw...

Spirituality In Scientific Thought Process

Science is based on the hard facts, and those have proofs and explanations, it makes it dry and unattractive to the basic human thoughts which have the strong attraction to the mysticism. The human brain takes the unsolved and unknown imaginations and mysteries as a challenge, and it provokes us to think, which finally work as a force of attraction. If we have definitive proves and facts than a mystery lost its appeal, and we take it as usual. We can find many such examples throughout the development of human race. We can see and perceive many definitions of interactions and relationships between Science and Spirituality. Since spirituality itself has various meanings and ways to define it, we can find mention of science in one way or other in the realms of spirituality and religiosity. Most of the time science and its concept are being used to approve or disapprove something or other. Only a few hundreds of years back there were conflicts between the scientific facts a...

Spirituality Is Not Complexity, It Is Humanity.

'Spiritual Thought Process' and 'Spirituality' is difficult to define. The definition will depend on our other thought processes of religion, culture, philosophy, and science. Apart from these common traits many personal traits which primarily based on our genetic makeup and they have direct effects on our thought processes will play their role in shaping our definition of Spirituality. So, we can say that we have our own Spiritual Thought Process to define Spirituality which depends on various cultural, religious, social, and personal determinants and makes it complicated. We can simplify the complexity by understanding the evolution of human brain and its different thought processes and development of humanity and human values which happened because of changes in the codes of our DNA as a result of millions of years of evolutionary mechanism. If we look into the simple development of our thought processes in our life, we can easily understand that h...

Evolution Of Thoughts (Part 2)

It is the spiritual component in our belief and faith that created room for such positive thinking in the boundaries of religion; even we can feel this ongoing conflict within our faith, between spiritual thinking and its conventional thinking. In fact, it worked as a process, though many times after so many scientific inventions, they may appear us weird and unscientific, all of those practices and thinking were the part of an ongoing developmental process of science. For a person in the 15 th century , most of those things what science proved wrong in later times were right. Similarly, for a person living in the first decade of last century (only a hundred years back), the present-day internet is like a miracle. So, what we consider prevalent today will be a miracle a few decades and centuries back. All the scientific achievements have their developmental roots in the hypothesis and theories of yesterday. Many of them proved wrong, and many of them proved right, bu...

Evolution Of Our Spiritual Thought Process

If we consider the vastness of natural developmental history, history of the development of human civilization is tiny, it is only for last few thousand years, in this short span we have created several beliefs and religions, some of them are existing today, and some of them have disappeared. In this process, we can easily hypothesize that science may be a future religion since science in its present form appeared on the landscape of human intelligence only a few hundred years back. Scientifically spirituality and spiritual thinking both are the part of the same process, where several positive or negative thoughts take shape in our brain. Among a broad spectrum of thoughts throughout the day, we have specific thoughts which question the existence of our ‘ Self.' We have questions in front of us ‘Who I am?’; ‘What is life?’; ‘What is the purpose of life?’; ‘What happens to us after death?’; ‘What is the universe?’; ‘Who made this?’; ‘When and how it starts?’; ...

World Health Day - Relevance And Importance Of Spiritual Health

"Health is a complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition of health was adopted by WHO, with its first World Health Assembly meeting held on April 7, 1948. The World Health Day is being celebrated on 7th of April each year since 1950. The aim to celebrate this day internationally appeared to create awareness among people of different nationalities, cultures, regions, and religions about health and making government and other organizations sensitive on the issues and importance of health. Though in most developing and some developed countries the problems and importance of health still cannot get sufficient attention of governments, communities, and people because of many reasons. The present WHO definition of health has many critics, but still, it has widely accepted and standard definition of human health. The modern concept of health evolved with the development of human civilization. We can say...
