In a world where religious pluralism is a necessity of modern life, diverse religions exist for the diverse people populating the earth. Theologically, how do people of different faiths find liberation in their separate gods simultaneously? Stephen Kaplan answers this question with his new book, Different Paths, Different Summits. He presents a model for religious pluralism that does not fall victim to the criticisms of pluralist models. Religious positions do not need to be transcended in order for varying faiths to be both honored and liberating simultaneously. Kaplan skillfully depicts three different realties, a theistic ultimate reality, a monistic ultimate reality, and a process non-dualism, along with their beliefs. His model allows for each to exit simultaneously, mutually interpenetrating and distinct.

Monday, March 19, 2012. I had my first dream last night that indicates I am reliving my same life over again in a parallel world. In my dream, a woman that I know said to me, "There are two of you." I am astounded by her comment, because I seem to know that there are two of me in my dream also; that is, I have the knowledge that I have lived my same life before, and I say to her, just to make certain that she is sure of what she said: "Are there two of anybody else?' And she replies, "No; I only see two of you."

The Bhagavad Gita and Love Dr. Yashodhara P “The Bhagavad Gita and Love” is a book that explores the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most revered spiritual texts from ancient India. The book is divided into three chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the Gita’s teachings and its relevance to the concept of love. Chapter I provides a brief overview of the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, highlighting the important verses and their significance. The Gita, often referred to as the “Song of God,” is a conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna that offers eternal spiritual guidance. Many followers of Sanatana Dharma have adopted the Bhagavad Gita as a guide for their spiritual practices and daily life. The Ramakrishna Mission emphasizes that the essence of the Gita is to engage in spiritual discipline to realize one’s true nature. Swami Prabhupada’s “Bhagavad Gita As It Is” is considered one of the most profound philosophical and religious dialogues known to humanity. Chapter II presents a story of a couple who spent 45 years together. Throughout their marriage, the wife believed that her husband loved her deeply. However, when the husband decided to leave for the USA, leaving her alone at home despite knowing her fear of being alone, she began to question the true nature of their relationship. Chapter III delves into the concept of love according to the Bhagavad Gita. The text teaches that devotion towards God is the highest form of love in the world. The divine relationship between Lord Krishna and Radha is often cited as an example of this pure love, as they never married. Krishna emphasizes that those who surrender to Him with love and dedication will be liberated from the cycle of birth and death.

In Six Stages on the Spiritual Path, we learn about spirituality and its stages as well as how spirituality helps to reduce our suffering and create more love. Writings from ancient to contemporary mystics across the world provide us with practical and spiritual wisdom that will make our lives happier and more loving. In the first stage on the mystic way, children experience awe and wonder, but they do not realize that this is a spiritual experience. While all indigenous people recognize awe as a mystical experience, only some adults and most artists do. When parents and religious leaders teach children about God, they cause their spiritual growth to flourish or to become stunted at an elementary school level. Awakening is an experience of the Divine that helps us realize that the Sacred Spirit is within us and loves us. Awakening produces love for our neighbors and ourselves. Then love nurtures more awakenings. Illumination and union are deeper mystical experiences that the Holy One is not only within all of us and all of creation, but also that we are within the ONE. Illumination creates more love for all people and all the universe.
