Devotional Hinduism: Creating Impressions for God

Mukul Shri Goel's recently released book touches the core of Hindu spirituality by presenting its devotional feel, which involves directly connecting to God through the surrender of everyday actions or a love affair with the Divine. It explores the spiritual choices that are available to practicing Hindus, how their beliefs affect their behavior, what they strive for in life, how they plan their evolution, how they progress, and who their role models are.

His current areas of writing are as follows:

Indian Philosophy

Contemporary Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma) derives theoretical concepts mainly from the Bhagavad Gita, the Epics and Puranas, the Upanishads, and the teachings of the Bhakti Saints. In the midst of diverse philosophies and paths, including the emotional and the intellectual, our aim as spiritual seekers remains the same: to recognize the true relationship of our individual souls (jiva) with the Supreme Soul (Paramatma).

Classical Music

Because Hindus believe that God adores musical sounds, vibrations from musical instruments and vocal cords are often offered to him in places of worship and homes. In the Bhakti traditions, devotees use music as a means to reach God by forgetting themselves as they sing hymns, mantras, and the names of their favorite form of the Lord. Similarly, the non-dualist worshipper of music forgets oneself in music to remember nothing but musical sound.

Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrologers try to gain insight into the predominant focuses of our lives by a holistic look at the interactions between planets, signs of the zodiac, and houses in a chart. What is more interesting is to note that the principles behind these connections are strongly synchronized with the Hindu aims of life. It appears that all Vedic subjects are intricately connected to underline the deeper reach of traditional knowledge.
