Âditya Hridayam
As we progress on the Path to Brahman Consciousness, we will all, as did S'rî Râm, slay Râvana. Râvana is the collection of karma and ungounded energy that is expressed as arrogance. To destroy arrogance, we must call upon our Âtman to give us the secret of how to do this. The Âditya Hridayam is that secret.

Asuric Human Life
Asura means against sura or against the Divine. To be against the Divine means to view one's life as independent and separate from the Divine. The asuric person feels responsible for his or her life and is constantly seeking something that will improve the quality of life. Everyone passes through the asuric stage on the way to Brahman Consciousness.

Âtman Puja
The first and foremost goal of everyone's life should be to realize his or her Âtman. By realize we mean to make the presence of the Âtman completely real, as real as the presence of one's own life. To realize the Âtman, one must first establish conscious, two-way communication. An essential part of the technique for establishing communication with your Âtman is the Âtman Puja.

Âtman
The Âtman is unique for every jiva because it is the memory of the jiva's accumulated karma. Hence we sometimes speak of "my Âtman" or "your Âtman." The process of entering onto the path of Brahman Consciousness begins with the Âtman, as does life itself and the gift of a human body in the first place. The Âtman is the personal version of Lord Vishnu that is gifted to every evolving being by Lord S'iva at the first instance of prajña-aprada to serve as the guiding light through the maze of mâya to eventually bring the jîva home to Unity or onto the path of Brahman Consciousness. As our guiding light, the Âtman is loving, passive and cooperative, never manipulative or dominating.

Avatar
Avatar means "one who descends." By this is meant one who is established in Krishna Consciousness or Brahman Consciousness and purposefully comes into our world to help us rise to Brahman Consciousness.
Avatars are of two types - Krishna Avatar and Jîva Avatar. Avatars that arise directly from Krishna are very rare. The Supreme Dieties of our universe are Krishna Avatars: Narâyana, Vishnu, Rudra and Ganesha. Lord Brahma is the foremost Jîva Avatar and all those who are in Brahman Consciousness are Jîva Avatars.

Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita is the story about life on the path to Brahman Consciousness - it is the song of God, so what else could or would God sing about other than the highest aim of a human life?

Brahman Consciousness
Brahman Consciousness represents the highest ideal for a human life achievement. Brahman Consciousness is that state of consciousness which resonates in complete harmony with the vast consciousness of the Creator, Lord Brahma. One who lives in Brahman Consciousness is literally the Divine incarnate, always acting in perfect accord with all the Laws of Nature and radiating a life supporting and uplifting influence to everyone he or she contacts.

Consciousness
Consciousness is the experience of awareness, and a state of consciousness is the degree of awareness. Consciousness is essentially a binary state that has alternating periods of Null or Void consciousness and various degrees of Awake consciousness. The frequency of these alternating on/off states determines the experience or state of consciousness. When the frequency is infinite, consciousness is pure and unmanifest. Any lesser frequency is a manifested state of consciousness.

Dharma
Dharma means "Truth" and should be considered the Divine Truth. There are two levels of Dharma, as there are two levels of God - Personal and Universal. The personal aspect of God is your own Âtman, and the universal aspect of God is a trinity of Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Maintainer) and Rudra (Destroyer).
