Krishna Bhaavin
I am a curious learner, an intense feeler and a self-absorbed thinker, in that order. My role in the world is that of a modern-day yogi; also a spiritual trainer and a thought-provoking author; a personal coach and a healer.
Divinely guided by Mahavatar Babaji, I have intimately learnt with enlightened masters like Guruji Rishi Prabhakar, Leonard Orr and now Dattatreya Shiv Baba (Dr. Pillai). Currently at 41, I enjoy getting to the bottom of things and actively sharing my learnings. I have a voracious appetite for reading.
I speak and write about a whole gamut of topics from spirituality and emotional healing to productivity and enlightened prosperity. My deepest interest lies in the science of easy living.
Believing in Karma makes you Weak
I come from a Jain family. Amongst Jains and Christians, there is a very strong concept of sin. Amongst Jains, Buddhists and Hindus, there is a very strong concept of Karma. Essentially, I grew up in surroundings that had a very strong overtone of the concept of Karma and sin (negative karma) and merit (positive karma).
Then I came across my Guru (Guruji Rishi Prabhakar) who never talked about karma but only talked about samadhi and moksha. I once asked him: Guruji, why don’t you ever talk in terms of Paap and Punya which many spiritual masters talk? He replied in a light vein that that doesn’t mean he is ignorant about the concepts. My query didn’t get answered and my quest continued. Gradually life gave me my answers.
