What is moksha?
To understand Moksha we must first understand Reincarnation. THE CONVENTIONAL CONCEPT OF REINCARNATION: Reincarnation means entry of our soul into the body of an animal or a h…uman being after our death. Good deeds enable to be born into higher caste family and bad deeds make us to be born into a lower caste family. THE CONVENTIONAL CONCEPT OF MOKSHA: Moksha is defined as liberation from unending cycles of Reincarnation. Moksha makes us one with Brahman and enables us to have Brahmajnana, the supreme Hindu knowledge. The conventional Hindu concept of Moksha may be confusing because we would be getting Brahmajnana after our death or more probably, after many deaths. REINCARNATION ACCORDING TO BRAHMAJNANA: Reincarnation means transformation of an activity every time it is repeated. It is this transformation that we have to prevent to attain Moksha. However, we have to prevent transformation of every activity of our life. Fortunately, we would be attaining Moksha in the present life only. MOKSHA ACCORDING TO BRAHMAJNANA: Moksha means abolition of transformation of an activity every time it is repeated. The aim is to execute the activity with pure facilitating force (Saguna Brahman). During rest we would have pure retarding force (Nirguna Brahman) Thus, Moksha would enable us to become one with Brahman, the supreme Hindu god. FACTORS THAT CAUSE TRANSFORMATION OF ACTIVITIES WHEN THEY ARE REPEATED: 1. TIME: Increase or decrease of time available for the execution of the activity 2. THE MODES: The modes cause the activity to interact with other activities 1. Shudra/ chaotic mode - No interaction with other activities 2. Vaishya/ tolerable mode - Interaction through a lower limit 3. Kshatriya/ normal mode- Through an upper and a lower limit 4. Brahmana/ ideal mode - Upper and lower limit is the same and interaction with all the activities of life. It is obvious that in the Shudra mode there would be chaotic changes and in the Brahmana mode, no change at all. 3. THE GODS: There are seven basic Hindu gods. They are, 1. Indra - god of dreaming 2. Shakti - god of illusion 3. Brahma - god of creativity 4. Vishnu - god of stabilization 5. Shiva - god of determination 6. Shani - god of status alteration 7. Yama - god of compulsion Unintentional change of god before re execution would result in transformation of the activity. The seven basic Hindu gods are derived from Brahman. Conversely, the seven gods put together form Brahman. Thus, to attain Moksha we must always use the seven gods together as a single unit. However, for simplicity we use just one god, either Shiva or Krishna incarnation of Vishnu to attain Moksha. (MORE)

What is the relationship between Karma and Moksha?
As Shri Ramakrishn Kshirasagar Swami' has said " For getting 'moksh' one should have '0' runanubandh. When we do any karm and if it is related to someone and if we or that p…erson remembers it, then 'runanubandh' automatically gets generated. That's why in 'Bhagvat Geeta' Lord Krishna has said that " Karmannevadhikaraste ma faleshu kadachan" Karma and Moksha: Before trying to understand Moksha it has to be realized that in the original form Moksha meant freedom to change Varnas and thus have unlimited knowledge (Brahma Jnana) and unlimited freedom. However, the exaggerated freedom made individual life and the society unstable and thus Moksha was redefined making not only Moksha but also Karma and Reincarnation look enigmatic. Karma: Karma is the mechanism that enables us to blend Moving and Braking forces of thoughts and activities in four different ways, thus enabling us to have four different Varnas. In the redefined form, Karma means a deed and good Karma or good deed enables us to have a higher Varna in the next life. Moksha: Originally Moksha meant freedom to change Varnas. In the redefined form Moksha means release from cycles of Reincarnation. In the original form, to attain Moksha, one had to prevent reincarnation or transformation of activities that is inevitable when an activity is repeated. The transformation is due to variations in Braking or Inertial force associated with activities. Thus, in the original form, Karma is the mechanism that enables us to have all the four Varnas and Moksha is the freedom that the four Varnas give. In the redefined form, good Karma enables us to escape from repeated cycles of reincarnation. (MORE)

Can you attain Moksha through a goddess?
1. Moksha is defined as the liberation from samsar and the associated suffering due to cycles of repeated death and rebirth. 2. According to physiology it is discarding cond…itioned reflexes and retaining the unconditioned or inborn reflexes. 3. In computer language it is the equivalent of uninstalling corrupt software and retaining just the operating system. 4. According to Inner Knowledge it is discarding of voluntary force and leading a normal life with just the Involuntary force. 5. Moksha is the exact opposite of specialization. Symbolism of god and goddess in Hinduism: In Hinduism god is symbolic of Involuntary (automatic and eternal) force and goddess of Voluntary (manual and transient) force. The older gods like Indra and Brahma are exceptions because they existed before the goddesses came into existence. Moksha and goddess: Moksha involves discarding of Voluntary force and leading a normal life with just the Involuntary force. Thus, to attain Moksha we must ignore all the goddesses we are worshiping. Therefore, it is impossible to attain Moksha through a goddess. (MORE)

What is Moksha and how do you attain it?
MOKSHA AND KARMA: Moksha is defined as freedom from unending cycles of reincarnation. Karma is the cause for the unending cycles of reincarnations. These Hindu beliefs about …Karma and Moksha are useless for attaining Moksha. This is because Moksha leads to Brahman, which is nothing but absolute fact. Therefore, our definitions of Karma and Moksha should be based on facts and not on beliefs. We can't attain Moksha through good deeds. We can't attain Moksha by supposing that god is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. God has to be within us and dormant. CONVENTIONAL WAYS OF ATTAINING MOKSHA: Life today is extremely complicated. Therefore, we can't attain Moksha through Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Raja Yoga. BRAHMAJNANA CONCEPT OF MOKSHA AND KARMA: To attain Moksha we need definitions of Moksha and Karma based on Brahmajnana. According to Brahmajnana, 1. Moksha is separation of facilitating force (Saguna Brahman) and retarding force (Nirguna Brahman). 2. Karma is variations in facilitating/ retarding forces, which causes transformation of an activity every time it is re executed. Lesser the Karma, lesser would be transformation of activities and greater would be the Moksha. ATTAINING MOKSHA: All the skeletal muscles of our body can isometrically contract and relax (harden and soften temporarily) as a single unit called Purusha. 1. Saguna Brahman - isometric contraction of Purusha 2. Nirguna Brahman - isometric relaxation of Purusha. THE SEVEN MANIFESTATIONS OF BRAHMAN: Brahman manifests as seven basic Hindu gods viz. Indra, Shakti, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Shani and Yama. All the seven basic Hindu gods are made of a Saguna component and a Nirguna component. They differ from each other in the gap between the arrival of the Nirguna component after the arrival of the Saguna component. In Indra the Nirguna component comes simultaneously, in Vishnu in the middle and in Yama in the end. Therefore, Indra just enables us to dream and Yama makes us compulsive. The Peripheral pair of gods Indra and Yama cause maximum Karma. The more central gods cause less Karma. THE VARNAS: 1. Shudra Varna - no limits for our actions 2. Vaishya Varna - just a lower limit 3. Kshatriya Varna - an upper and a lower limit 4. Brahmana Varna - upper and lower limits are the same. A higher Varna makes us more disciplined, reduces fluctuations in facilitating/ retarding forces, reduces Karma and enhances Moksha. THE FOUR TYPES OF TIME: 1. Transient time - by separating life into infinite activities, each having a different status. 2. Virtual time - by having a minimum duration for completion of actions but no maximum duration 3. Natural time - by having a minimum and maximum duration for completion of every action. 4. Eternal time - by making the status of all actions the same. This would merge all activities into a single giant activity called life. Then no activity would have a beginning and no activity would have and end. Transient time results in maximum Karma. Eternal mode of time result in Moksha. BRAHMANDA: After appeasing the seven gods, having all the four Varnas and the four kinds of time, by default we would be having 1. Vishnu 2. Lower limit for status of all activities 3. Minimum duration needed for execution of actions. This state is Brahmanda. We would have 50% tone and 50% control over all activities of our life. ABSOLUTE MOKSHA: From here we can have 0% or 100% control. From this state we can appease any god, have any Varna and use any mode of time. This freedom is what we call absolute Moksha. ORIGINAL MEDITATION - THE BEST WAY TO ATTAIN MOKSHA: The best way of achieving all these is Original Meditation, the kind of Meditation Vedic people practiced. This is just a set of isometric exercises. We can't understand the Vedas without mastering Original Meditation. The name 'Vedic Meditation' means something else. Therefore that name is not used here.
