Kaivalya
Jnani:
In the last about 150 years only two persons gained enlightenment amongst
6500 million human beings living on Mother Earth. They were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi
Ramana.
Both these Saints of India have a large following world over. Everything
related to Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana would help... be it their own writings or authored
by other people.
Swami Vivekananda... one of the best exponents of the law of karma was
the famous disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa. Literature on Swami Vivekananda would also help. Swami
Vivekananda has written a lot.
His writings clearly depict what spirituality and Hinduism is all about.
The teachings of Swami Vivekananda convey a very deep inlaid truth. The messages of Swami Vivekananda are an
eye opener for many.
Mahavira (the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism) and Gautama Buddha were
contemporaries. Mahavira came about 2600 years earlier and about 77 years later followed Gautama
Buddha.
Both gained enlightenment in their lifetime and became man gods. Lot of
literature in Jainism related to Mahavira is available. Buddhist Scriptures abound with teachings of Gautama
Buddha is also available in bulk.
