Introduction
Dharma-Religion
First of all, each individual should correct their behavior and develop a sense of humanity. After that, they should have knowledge about “who am I ? where did I come from ? who is the creator of this universe ? where does He reside and what kind of relation I have with him”. As spiritual instructions-dharma upadesh, many saints throughout history have attempted to describe this subject to the best of their ability from time to time. According to Maharshi Kanaad, Dharma involves:
- 1. Developing a sense of Humanity: it involves cultivating compassion, empathy, and understanding towards others, as well as recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of every human being. It can also involve engaging in activities that promote social justice, human rights, and the well-being of others.
- 2. Purification of mind: it involves cleansing the mind of defilements such as greed, hatred, and delusion. This process transforms one’s thinking, values, attitudes, and actions, and ultimately leads to a state of inner peace and freedom from suffering. By purifying the mind, one can cultivate greater compassion, empathy, and understanding towards others, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-control.
- 3. Knowing the eternal relation between soul-aatma and supreme soul-parmatma: the eternal relation between aatma and parmatma is like ocean and its wave, the sun and its ray and lamp and its light.
Shree krishna pranami dharma
Shree krishna Pranami Dharma strives to reach every individual with the eternal and timeless values of religion, that is, to recognize the soul and supreme soul by becoming human first and to attain eternal bliss. It is an effort to achieve the ultimate goal of life. Shree Krishna Pranami Dharma is also known as Nijananda Sampradaya as it provides the experience of eternal bliss (Nijananda). All Mighty God (Purna brahma Parmatma) is One. He is known as Aksharatit as He is beyond perishable (Kshar) and imperishable (Akshar). As He is the Centre of all souls, He is called Shree Krishna and He is also known as Shree Rajji as He is the possessor (Raja) of entire universes. Due to the tradition of considering All Mighty God (Purna Brahma Parmatma Aksharatit Shree Krishnaji) as the owner of one’s soul and offering unconditional reverence (Pranam) at their feet, Nijananda Sampraday is renowned as Shree Krishna Pranami Dharma.
