Friends, although reviews of this series have already appeared online. But everyone has their own perspective. I watched it with my family. The children also sat with us to watch it without any provocation. This is the biggest proof of its quality. Nowadays children have no leisure from game videos or Hollywood masala. Although it is a different matter that we kept applauding every scene, perhaps that also inspired the children. Nowadays this is the way to make children aware of their values. G5 seems to be playing a somewhat good role in this. I had the good fortune to visit Char Dham pilgrimage at the age of just three years. At that time when medical science was not so developed and medical facilities were also not easily available. I had also contracted typhoid during the journey, it is not known whether it was cured by my own immunity or by medicine or by the grace of gods. No train reservation was available at that time. Imagine traveling almost the entire country, that too in a general bogie. At many places, people in the crowd started sitting on our laps. I remember running alone into the river bed and taking a bath in a small pit in Gaya, Bihar, when I was lost, or getting my foot stuck in a hole near the seat of a standing train, when a kind passenger miraculously pulled it out, I remember it all. Be it spending the night sleeping on the platform of the railway station in Changalpetu or watching English children playing drums in Dwarka, I remember everything. There, I used to gather shells collected from the sea and drop them while roaming around Lord Krishna of Dwarka and muttering something. I also remember that the priests were overwhelmed with devotion seeing that. For me, it was a fun game while watching others. At one place, when we were staying in a big Dharamshala that’s a spiritual guest house, I also remember that to make me laugh, an elder brother from the nearby house used to throw something like a pumpkin at the monkey. That’s all I remember. Yes, in Gaya a married woman was being taken towards the river after being decorated like a queen. I found her to be a real queen and very beautiful. There is much that lies ahead as too faint memory to be written or spoken. Maybe that’s why I liked this series. Visiting pilgrimage sites while sitting at home. The places of pilgrimage I visited would definitely be included in it, that is why I felt a sense of belonging. Childhood values are very important. Nowadays it has become so easy to travel across the country. Still, where do people go and where do they take their children? How this will inculcate values in them and how Sanatan Dharma or Indian culture will be protected is a matter to be thought about. Both the words are synonyms of each other. Indian culture is incomplete without Sanatan Dharma, and Sanatan Dharma is incomplete without Indian culture. We are talking about the web series Sarvam-Shaktimayam recently released on Zee Five. In this, a curious seeker comes from America and in the end he considers faith as everything and writes a book on it. A family from my country goes in search of peace, and gets the peace it wants. Whoever wants whatever, he gets it. Some have scientific findings and some have experience. The series only has ten episodes and each episode is about half an hour long, meaning a total of five hours, equivalent to two big movies. We saw it all in one day, and we enjoyed it so much. By the way, the next day my wife had planned to go to Khatu Shyam and Pushkar with a group of women, so she finished it, so that there is a good mood for the pilgrimage and there is no suspense in the mind.
Our mother was very spiritual. Of course, as a solution to some children related problems at a young age, she made clay moulded Shivlingas every day for a whole year in the morning, worshiped them during the day and washed them in the evening. After that, she kept making this rule every year throughout the month of Shravan that’s the rainy month throughout her life. I believe that most of the Hindus remain limited to these basic spiritual rituals throughout their life and are unable to give the liberating momentum to their sadhana which can lead to awakening and liberation. But this is not the fault of spiritual tradition. The traditions are world famous. Many western people are also becoming crazy about them and adopting them. Recently I was sitting in a neighboring temple. Just then the kirtan that’s spiritual music started there. The women were singing very well. I closed my eyes, kept my head and back straight and started clapping vigorously along with the beat of the bhajan. Khechari Mudra was performed by keeping the tongue close to the palate. With meditation the Kundalini Shakti started rotating very well with the spasm of the chakras. There was a sound as well as a sensation due to the collision of the palms. It was also helping in the descent of Kundalini and also in its manifestation at the heart chakra. It is clear that probably the rest of the devotees were engaged in Easy Going Way for temporary peace of mind, but I was trying to give Muktigami velocity i.e. escape velocity to Kundalini. When the mind is satisfied with spirituality then it feels like to do some material progress and vice versa. Seeing this, I think that people of Western countries once lived in India or Asia or were in touch with it and therefore were connected to the spiritual traditions of it. Later they went to western countries like Europe etc.
YMCA, a Christian organisation is also teaching yoga along with fitness classes. Steve Jobs the founder of apple wrote how ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ influenced him.

Beatles of the 70’s and also the Hollywood of today is not escaping from this mythical concept. From Julia Roberts to Will Smith, Oppenheimer and many quantum physicists such as Heisenberg, Bohr, Schordinger etc. are influenced by Hinduism. CERN institute near Geneva have statue of nataraja, a mythical dancer. 14 top German universities are teaching Sanskrit and European universities are getting higher demands. Joseph Campbell, the famous mythologist of the last century was well influenced by hindu pauranik mythology. Carl Sagan, the well known astro-physicist was also influenced by it. most followed spiritual teachers of the Christian world today, such as Eckhart Tolle, Mike Singer, Wayne Dyer, Stephen Wolpert (Ram Dass) and many others are also deep believers of Hinduism and Buddhism teachings. Lisa Miller had once stated that ‘We (Christians) are all Hindus now’.
