It is good to have a reference frame or conceptual context for your life. It may be a philosophy or religion or intellectual understanding of just what life is and what your place in this universe is. These contexts, of which there are many, usually come with a moral code, rules of conduct, and model of the mechanics of creation. For example, the modern scientific context, which is quite popular, has codes and rules based upon what can be derived from the current intellectual understanding of the world, which is rooted in physics and logic. It is the context that seems to be most universally adhered to in the world today. Needless to say, religions generally provide an alternate perspective on how the universe came into being and where we should look for moral codes and rules of conduct. Isn’t it fascinating that we live in a world where there are so many wildly diverse and contradictory perspectives on just what the context, the bottom line, of life actually is.
Now at age 63, if I were to look back and summarize my life, I would say it was lived in the pursuit of a valid and all encompassing context. Science certainly provides a steady rudder in its demand for validity… the demand for factual, verifiable proof. Certainly that is a good thing and a demand that I have always adhered to. In other words, I always insisted that the underlying context of life’s understanding make sense! For that reason, I always had a bit of an issue with the notion of ‘faith’. I did not just want to have faith, to just believe. I wanted to know.
This led me to an exploration of the notion of Truth. How do you know that something is actually true? If you think about it, truth is something that applies and is valid when all aspects of life are taken into account. When there are no blinders on, no limitation to thought and experience, no denial of what certainly is… when science is not denied but incorporated fully and integrated fully with all aspects of life. But we must, at the same time, embrace the simple truth that our current scientific knowledge is quite limited. Along the lines of what Sir Isaac Newton said, our knowledge of science is like one grain of sand on the beach of knowledge. That is certainly still true today. When it comes to moral codes and rules of conduct, pure ‘scientific thought’ can, and does, justify almost anything. This led me early on to realize that though science is a great aspect of the puzzle of life, and a great tool to employ in the unraveling of the nature of life, it does not provide the complete context for life. However, the valid context for life must not contradict science, but include it. There is no room for denial.
In my rigorous pursuit of truth, I came to some conclusions. I found some principles that I knew had to be true. The first and foremost was that there had to be a unified field… one thing out of which all things emerged. That is the only way, I reasoned, that everything could be so seamless integrated… that principles in business and biology could parallel so perfectly. That math could apply to music as well as economics.
After deriving a set of principles I felt certain were valid, an amazing thing happened. To this day I still marvel over it as I think about it. I discovered that in ancient times, there was a group of people who revealed a context for life and existence that was completely consistent with what I had come to know must be true. This was remarkable to me. How could it be? How did they do it? What was even more incredible was the fact that they had developed the understanding of this context to a magnificent degree. No stone was left unturned. All aspects of life were included… psychology, physics, architecture, music… everything. I did, however, find that in today’s world, irrationality, unclear thinking, superstition, and limited understanding had in many instances undermined people’s current relationship with that knowledge. However, the core, the essence, was there… meticulously preserved in great detail.
That knowledge is referred to as Vedic knowledge. However, Veda is not a belief system… it is the underlying substrate of nature… just as a seed is the underlying substrate of a tree. Veda is nature. Vedic knowledge is knowledge of that seed. All aspects of the tree of life are contained in the seed… the one thing out of which all things emerged. To hear about this is of value. To learn all about it is of more value. To find the validity of it within yourself is of great value. In so doing, the wheat of knowledge is separated from the chaff of limitation, irrationality, distortion, superstition, and blind faith.
I do not want you to take anything on faith. I want you to know, and know clearly, from within yourself, not just feel or believe. There are about a dozen principles that I will be providing soon. If each is understood and woven together with the others, an understanding of a context of life is revealed. No stone is left unturned. No blinders must, or even can, remain on. No scientific thinking is denied or contradicted. No question is taboo or blasphemous. BUT more importantly, if you reflect on those principles, you will, in time, find within your own self (not as an indoctrination from the outside, but as a discovery from within yourself) that there is a valid context to life. And that, for you, will change everything.
Thanks so much again for you can deliver this knowledge in such a way, with your own cultivation, the energy do the talking, such powerful tool of Surya meditation. thanks again.

Another awesome blog! After reading, I found myself looking up more Newton quotes. It has always been interesting to me that smart, scientifically minded people often reject the notion of God. They sometimes use great minds like Newton to justify their perspective, even though Newton was deeply religions (spiritual).
I really like this quote:
“He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God; but he who really thinks has to believe in God.”
― Isaac Newton
Thanks for the proper context Brahmarshi. It has made my life rich.
Jai Guru Dev
This is really a beautiful blog.
Thank you.
It struck me as I read this blog that Brahmarshi speaks and writes Veda. His teachings are the living/breathing Veda for the 21st century. The thousands-years-old Sanskrit Veda is eternally true and Brahmarshi’s teachings are eternally true.
Echoing Dave… Brahmarshi- you have indeed made my life rich.
Jai Guru Dev!
Wow, so much articulated in this blog, and so succinctly! I hope more and more people can find access to your teachings. What a gift we receive by how you put to words what is true and real. You do it in such a way that we can recognize it as if we’ve always known it to be so. And we have. It is the grace of coming “home” to that that is such a gift, a relief really. Funny how the job of the Teacher, the Master, is to ultimately eliminate the need for them in that role. Deeply, you become an integral part of our path to knowing god, to realizing god. And yet simultaneously, you cultivate our capacity to be free, completely free…
Thank you.
Jai Guru Dev.
Such lovely comments from all of you. Joy Anna brings up something so beautiful. As you evolve you indeed become self sufficient. But at the same time, my teacher is everything… one with everything and the embodiment of that. I feel deeply the place within me that does all that I do in love with that. Isn’t it exquisite. You become totally free when you find your Self within your self and in so doing, find the flow of your own true nature and at the same time, in flow with the deepest feelings for the teacher for you, he, God, the cosmic flow, and all that is… they are all one. In total freedom, you then walk hand in hand with the teacher always.
Some have asked me about you Brahmarshi and some have even been concerned that I was getting all of my “information” from one place. I do understand the concerns of people with regards to spirtuality especially when it is blended into religion or god talk. As I was reading this blog, my thoughts were that it is simply unfathomable to me that if millions of people had the opportunity to read this free message..they would not experience a moment of bright lights and music from heaven. I am aware that my journey is of life times and I also feel this is not my first go round of discovering this knowledge however having you to guide us in this current life is such an unfathomable gift and to be aware of that fact is simply a gift from God. This must be why the ancients loved their teachers so much..so much that millions continue to love those very teachers. Although I can honor those teachers for who they must have been, having you as my living teacher gives me an opportunity to hear what they must have heard and to get it wrong for myself only so that some day I just might “get it” right. I love that I can introduce you to so many and I will continue doing so here until I am there.
Thank you so very much
Beautiful Michael,
And isn’t it fascinating that people would be concerned that you are getting all of your information from one place. In any other field, it would not be an issue. If you were studying mathematics, for example, that comment would never even come to mind. To me it speaks of the pathetic state that the world is in with respect to spirituality and the fear around it. Of course that pathetic state justifies the fear. But what is that saying? … ‘Better to spend a long time looking for the right teacher than spending time with the wrong one.’ I would add that if you are fortunate enough to find a true teacher, why risk tainting your mind with all the rest? In the end, it is not about me. My teaching speaks for itself.
Thank you for bring the knowlege to us. It is so wonderful to find a teacher teaching truth. Thank you.
I can remember an episode of the original star trek when Spock was playing three dimensional chess with the Doctor. They were playing the game with three translucent chess boards stacked one above the other. And it was clear to me that what was a good move or “true” in our traditional one board chess game would not be true in 3d chess. Truth in the game becomes relative to the number of boards we are playing with and are aware of.
But underlying it all is the Veda. Reality keep adding chess boards and I know I can never really “get it” and master it all, and I know I don’t want to. Trying to “get it” gets in the way of feeling it, knowing it deeply. Yet I love to consider it all and see how it feels.
All I really know is I exist, that I get back what I put out, and on some level we are all one. And everything else changes, except those things. I feel we exist simultaneously on all the levels and layers and we just are not capable of being aware of it all intellectually, but we can feel it. There is bleed thru. We can feel the Veda. All my levels say thanks. John
Thank you Brahmarshi for a beautiful blog. I await with great anticipation your future work on the 12 principles.

Nice to know it’s all there for the finding. Thanks.
