What is the Spirituality of Chinese Kungfu and Japanese Samurais?

What is the spirituality of Chinese Kung fu and Japanese Samurais?

When i watch Japanese films, they don't give a clear idea about their spirituality. Chinese film shows buddhist deities in their films , here and there. But then Who are Taoist ?

What is Spirituality and how is it different from religion?

I often hear people in recovery and rehab say they believe in spirituality but not religion. Isn't religion spiritual? Why for instance is spirituality encouraged but religion is not?

How does Spirituality help people understand the universe in which we live?

I don’t think it does at all; I think spirituality is really just a coping mechanism that people have invented and that is not based on any evidence or rational thought process. Spirituality is the sand in which people stick their heads like ostriches when the truth gets too hard for them to accept. But religious people (especially Catholics for some reason) keep telling me that science and spirituality are two methods of understanding the universe. How can imaginary nonsense help people understand the universe?

No life will be a failure; there is no such thing as failure in the universe. A hundred times man will hurt himself, a thousand times he will tumble, but in the end he will realize that he is God.

Religion is not in doctrines, in dogmas, nor in intellectual argumentation; il is being and becoming; it is realization.

Remember the words of Christ - " Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." These words are literally true, not figures, or fiction.

It is good and very grand to conquer external nature, but grander still to conquer our internal nature This conquering of the inner man, understanding the secrets of the subtle workings that are within the human mind,and knowing its wonderful secrets, belong entirely to religion.

In life and in death, in happiness and in misery, the Lord is equally presents. The whole is full of the Lord. Open your eyes and see Him.

In worshiping God we have been always worshiping our own hidden Self.

Religion can be realized, Are you ready ? Do you want it? You will get the realization if you do. And then you will be truly religious. Until you have attained realization there is no difference between you and atheists. The atheists are sincere; but the man who say that he believes in religion and never attempts to realize it, is not sincere.

I accept all religions that were in the past, and worship with them all. I worship God with every one of them,in whatever form they worship Him. I shall go the mosque of the Mohammedan; I shall enter the Christian's church and kneel before the crucifix; I shall enter the Buddhistic temple, where I shall take refuge in Buddha and in his Law; I shall go into the forest and sit down in meditation with the Hindu, who is trying to see the Light which enlightens the heart of everyone.

Spirituality in music can also be reiterated when the application happens at a professional level including the international platforms, wherein the basis of such an effort is largely for a  public cause. This initiative is oriented towards drenching the listeners into may be  a state of spiritual ecstasy with some infinite love for them from  the bottom of the heart of everyone involved in the creation of such a musical package, not necessarily restricted to New Age, but also every other modern day musical work.  As a professional musician I was taught and could also notice that one gets inspired all of a sudden and the creative best is discovered when the whole effort is planned and executed by a mere divine will as against the human thinking. When we are tuned into that divine frequency, music flows through your heart and fills every cell within and outside the body putting us into an exalted state of un explainable divine bliss. If  I would have to share from the personal life experience, it would be incomplete if I don't admit that the very invocation of the supreme being or the creator into the musical work has literally elevated me from zero to whatever little that is now, technically and creatively. It's truly magnificient! Though the process is gradual, the consistent shift in the individual music creator’s energy, forms the foundation for miraculous musical outbursts. The shift in energy is made possible by quite a few techniques like holistic healing methods such as reiki, regular chanting of appropriate mantras etc., and also by visiting of certain vortexes(or temples) and many more,  all under the guidance of a spiritual master or a Guru.

When the whole musical work right from the very conception to its completion is dedicated to the supreme being with absolute surrender Unto His feet, the musical work becomes one of what we generally describe as “Gandharva ganam”(Tamil) or “A legendary musical composition” that’s out of the world. Not to forget the fundamentals which have descended down from the divine through ages, like the “matha(mother, pitha(father) guru(master) & Deivam(God” formulae. At a particular juncture we can realize that each and every energy shiting technique complements the other through a vicious cycle. To be more precise, When your Time, space and karma gets aptly guided through by Vedic sciences like astrology and or allied subjects, and when you can call it’s “Time” now for the break-through to happen musically, spiritually and also commercially, by then the few techniques said above would have already taken care of the shift in energy by associating you with the right people and place. This will also be in perfect  alignment with some synchronicities that you might have gone through like someone telling you about the progress, or some incidents or happenings in the day-to-day life indicating the progressive note.

For instance, in my case, much before a couple of my songs and musical work got famous, and much before I started becoming a little popular, I knew I had to perfect my voice culture as far as my singing was concerned. Secondly I also understood through my spiritual lessons that, my musical compositions needed a proper classical backing (atleast the basics). At this point of time in my life, a parallel preparatory process was happening inside and outside of me without my knowledge but with the help of my spiritual and musical gurus. My spiritual gurus taught me some tailor made meditation and healing techniques and put me into some powerful spiritual practices. My musical gurus worked on my voice culture. This collectively shaped me up both on the technical and creative front. Fortunately, because I was taught about absolute surrender, the supreme being ensured that He gave me the very best in everything that I pursued through this rigorous preparatory process.

I could understand and realize a little about what spiritual inspiration is capable of doing, with its unique Divine touch and, hence, when the creation reaches the masses, it straightly pierces into their hearts leaving them in a state of ecstasy and wanting more and more of the same dosage.

But mark you,if you give up that spirituality, leaving it aside to go after the materializing civilization of the west,the result will be that in three generation you will be an extinct race; because the back-done of the nation will be broken, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built will be undermined, and the result will be annihilation all round.

Europe,the center of the manifestation of material energy, will crumble into dust within fifty years,if she is not mindful to change her position,to shift her ground and make spirituality the basis of her. And what will save Europe is the religion of the Upanishads.

Our aristocratic ancestors went on trading the common masses of our country under foot, till they became helpless,till under this torment the poor, poor people nearly forgot that they were human beings. They have been compelled to be merely hewers of wood and drawers of water for centuries, so much so,that they are made to believe that they are born as slaves, born as hewers of wood and drawers of water.

The truths of the Upanishads are before you. Take them up, live up to them, and the salvation of India will be at hand.

Do you feel? Do you feel that millions and millions of the descendants of gods and of sages have become next-door neighbors to brutes? Do you feel that millions are starving today,and millions have been starving for ages? Do you feel that ignorance has come over the land as a dark cloud? Does it make you restless? Does it make you sleepless? Has it gone into your blood,coursing through your veins,becoming consonant with your heartbeats? Has it made you almost mad? Are you seized with that one idea of the misery of ruin, and have you forgotten all about your name, your fame, your wives, your children, your property, even your own bodies? Have you done that? That is the first step to become a patriot,the very first step.
