Akram Vignan

What is Akram Vignan?

Akram Vignan is the shortcut path as opposed to the traditional karmic, path, step by step path to liberation. The realization is achieved gradually, one laborious step at a time. In Akram Vignan there is no need to climb the steps. One simply has to get on the elevator

and go to the twelfth floor. Such is the beauty of this Akram path. One only needs to find this ‘elevator’ and his salvation will be at hand. Anyone that boards the elevator will have all the answers.

Is it science or religion?

It is science. It is Akram Vignan. Religion is very different than spiritual science. It is the science of Vitrags. It is science of atoms. The Gnan Vidhi is a scientific experiment where separation of the body and soul is experienced. Science cannot be contradictory. All principles and solutions of Akram Vignan are consistent and eternally true.
Religion will give you material happiness and will prevent you from falling from spiritual progress. For liberation you need Vitaraag Vignan (Science of Absolutism). This science does not exist in any scriptures. The Tirthankars knew about this science, but this science could not be imparted to the people of their times. In these troubled times, a rare Bhed Vignani (Absolute Scientist who separates 'I' and 'My') came along and made this science available for everyone.

What is Moksha?

Moksha is at two stages. The first stage of Moksha is where you experience a sense of neutrality towards your problems and miseries; one experience indifference towards any wordly unhappiness. One even remains unaffected amidst any wordly happiness. In the midst of oopadhi(suffering imposed upon you by others or external factors) you experience Samadhi(to be free from suffering and to experience the state of one’s own bliss). That is the first stage of Moksha. The second stage of Moksha-permanent Moksha is attained after one’s death. The first stage of Moksha should be attained here and now. Moksha should be such, that even while one lives amongst the wordly things, one remains unaffected by them. That is the Moksha one must strive for, where there is no bondage of any kind. Such a stage of Moksha is possible through Akram Vignan!

Why do I need to attain to Moksha?

Moksha is your real and the ultimate state. It is the blissful state where one becomes engrossed with the supreme power, God. Rest all is an illusion and temporary settlements. If you can tolerate this worldly life with the repetitive cycles of birth and death along with happiness and pains, you need not strive for Moksha. However, if you want to remain in permanent bliss and enlightenment, you must strive for Moksha. For Moksha, you must know the science of spiritual knowledge. A live experienced person (gnani), who have experienced and continues to remain in the blissful state, can only give this knowledge of science to you. Currently, you can achieve this knowledge from Pujya Deepakbhai Desai.

What is religion-dharma?

Dharma means one’s intrinsic nature and properties.
For example, when can we call gold, gold? It is only when it exhibits the properties that are intrinsic to gold. Brass can look and shine just like gold if it is polished enough. But if a goldsmith were to test it, he would be able to tell that it is not gold from the intrinsic properties of that metal. Similarly you can say that a thing is in its innate nature, goon dharma, if it exhibits its innate nature.

What is atma dharma?

The belief of ‘I am the body’, or to believe the body, the non-self, to be your real identity is par-dharma (dharma of another). To believe the Self (Soul) as the Self is sva-dharma (one’s own dharma). That is atma-dharma, dharma of the Self.

Who am I?

When you say, “My name is Chandulal” and then you turn around and say “I am Chandulal”. Do you think there is a contradiction in this?
You are Chandulal right now. In this Chandulal there is both ‘I’ and ‘My’. They are like the two railway lines of ‘I’ and ‘My’; they always run together yet they are always separate. They are always parallel and never become one. Despite this you believe them to be one. This is due to the ignorance or unawareness of your true identity. Having understood this, separate the ‘My’. Keep all that comes under ‘My’ to one side. For example, ‘My heart’, “My wife”, “My watch”, “My mind”, “My intelligence” etc. Keep them on one side. If you keep on deducting “My” from “I”, at every step and level and put all the things that fall under ‘My’ on one side, then only ‘I’ will remain. That ‘I’, is precisely what you are. That is the ‘I’ that you need to realize. It is only through meeting a Gnani Purush that one acquires this science of separation.

Who created this world?

If we were to say that God is the creator in reality, then the next logical question to ask would be, “Then who made God?”. So many different questions would arise. It is simply a logical statement that if there is a creator, then there has to be yet another creator of this creator. There would be no end to this. Therefore, such talk is really incorrect.
If there is a creator, then there has to be an end. In fact, this world is anadi-anant (no beginning-no end). This world carries on without an end. Therefore, there is no beginning and there is no end. If there is no beginning, then there is no creator.
If God made this world, then why did he make it full of worries?
In reality, God is not the creator of this world at all. All of this is only Scientific Circumstantial Evidence. Therefore all of this is a natural creation. In Gujarati, Dadashri called it Vyavasthit Shakti (Scientific Circumstantial Evidence). This is a very subtle fact.

Who runs this world? Or Who governs this world?

This world is run solely by scientific circumstantial evidences. There is no one up there who has the time to run all this. In Gujarati Dadashri called it Vyavasthit Shakti. It keeps everything and everyone organized.

Briefly describe Vyavasthit Shakti or Scientific Circumstantial Evidence.

Scientific Circumstantial Evidence is the basis for any event to take place. Without it, not even a single ‘parmanoo’(atom) can change in this world. When you are about to sit down to dinner, do you know what you are going to be served? Even the person who prepares the food does not know what he or she will prepare tomorrow. Even the amount of food you are going to ingest is very precisely determined, all the way down to the atomic level. What is it that brings all this together and makes it all happen? This is Scientific Circumstantial Evidence. Only when numerous circumstances come together can an event take place. So many circumstances have to be just right for anything to happen. There is no maker/doer in this world; everyone is simply an ‘instrument’ (nimit) in the process.

What is pratikraman?

If you have said and done anything that hurts others, it is an act of aggression. It is an atikraman and therefore pratikraman should be done. Pratikraman means apologizing and asking for forgiveness from the other person, “I have committed this fault and I understand that it is wrong and I am making a decision not to repeat this mistake again.” Such a vow must be taken. If you commit the same fault again, then again you have to repent. You have to do it as soon as you realize your mistakes. In this way, your faults will decrease and eventually go away.
