Definition of Spirituality according to Hindu

The definition of spirituality as defined in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism states thus: primarily it is our soul (termed atman in Hinduism) that is on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations (an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years). The entire cycle of 8.4 million manifestations is one single lifespan for a soul atman... the spirit within.

In the life of a soul atman... the entire journey of 8.4 million manifestations is one uninterrupted single journey of life! As the soul atman is indestructible by nature... death carries no meaning in spiritual world! In the cosmic system... death of a body announces changing of form from one manifestation to another similar as changing of guards at Buckingham Palace.

Unless we understood we are a spirit... that has manifested human form to work out its karma... remove the dross impurities within... we shall never truly understand definition of spirituality! We are not a human body alone... that shall wither and die... we shall continue living the spiritual path until end of journey... the 8.4 millionth manifestation.

After death of present body... we as a spirit shall manifest another body until we reach last leg of cosmic life the stage when human beings reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)! It is field of spirituality that explains to us the underlying connection between our soul atman... the spirit within and human form.

Why is it so that we fear death! If we are a free spirit... something indestructible... when death occurs... who is it that is dead! Why do we fear death all the time? Why people pray to Lord Shiva to enhance their life... become immortal forever! What is it that makes human immortal! If death is a temporal phase in life of a soul atman... why human beings fear death so much.

To get out of clutches of death... to stop fearing death... we need to understand what spirituality truly means! The definition of spirituality as detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is the one and only one that exists in whole cosmos! Beyond Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... there is no other sacred scripture on mother earth that defines spirituality truthfully and totally.

Those who do not believe in legacy of Bhagavad Gita will never understand the meaning of spirituality... no matter what! Spirituality truly defines our inner nature... our true inner self... our spirit... the soul within! We are not born mortal human beings but we are a soul atman on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... life cycle of 96.4 million earthly years.


Mounted with a bloated ego... we think we are a mortal human being... controlled by emotions, fate and destiny! In fact we are not... we are an indestructible soul atman on its cosmic journey! To enhance cosmic journey of life... to carry out ones karma diligently, God Almighty created element of ego that makes us feel mortal... an instrument in hands of time with a limited time span of 70 to 80 years.
