About this Blog

According to Swami Akshara, the ultimate truth(or enlightenment or god attainment or what i call as IT) is अनिर्वचानीयम, a Sanskrit word which literally means 'beyond description'. Different masters from past thousands of years have tried to explain IT and the possible processes of attaining IT in their own words. Those words have been said in a particular language and in a particular context and time period.

It becomes extremely difficult for a seeker to understand the subtle meaning of those words in current context and the past masters are not around for clarification of doubts. 'Edward De Bono' makes it clear with an example about Eskimo's who have developed 12 different words for subtle differences between different types of Snow. Now if an Eskimo's writing on snow is to be translated into English, all 12 words would be translated as snow or ice and their original meaning would be lost to people reading that.

And the process of understanding IT is much more subtle. We can not read a printed text or listen to a speech and expect to know all about it. There will be many questions whose answers can be obtained only from a living master. And as with any discussion into the unknown, the seeker can not prepare a standard set of questions.

I have got an opportunity to interact with Living Master Swami Akshara over a chat and this blog will contain my questions and its answers from the master in its true form. This discussion has already started and will continue into the future and as of today, i have no idea about what form and shape it will take. I am simply taking a deep dive into the unknown.
