Image
In a world and age where the dominant thought is that of science and technology, spirituality often appears as a far-fetched and complicated topic. Modern seekers have a hard time understanding spiritual truth because of the language density of ancient texts or the sheer abundance of manifestations.

Who Am I? The Self-Explained The majority of individuals associate themselves with their body, name, job, or relationship. But Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj clarified that these are just temporary labels. Our true identity is the soul—an eternal, divine part of God.

We do not pursue passerby pleasures anymore, and we s...
