Teachings of Bhagwan Kunthunath
Divine wisdom that illuminates the path to liberation and eternal bliss
Ahimsa
Non-Violence
Ahimsa is the cornerstone of Kunthunath’s teachings – complete non-violence in thought, word, and deed. This principle extends beyond physical harm to include mental and emotional violence.
True ahimsa means cultivating compassion for all living beings, recognizing the divine spark in every soul, and acting with love and kindness in all situations.
"The soul that practices true ahimsa becomes a beacon of peace in the world."
Satya
Truthfulness
Satya encompasses absolute truthfulness in all aspects of life. It means speaking truth that is beneficial, avoiding harsh truths that cause unnecessary pain, and living authentically.
This principle guides us to align our thoughts, words, and actions, creating harmony within ourselves and with the world around us.
"Truth is the foundation upon which the temple of liberation is built."
Asteya
Non-Stealing
Asteya means not taking what is not freely given, extending beyond material theft to include time, energy, credit, and opportunities that belong to others.
This principle cultivates contentment, gratitude, and respect for others’ rights and possessions, leading to inner peace and social harmony.
"When we cease taking what is not ours, abundance flows naturally into our lives."
Brahmacharya
Celibacy & Moderation
Brahmacharya involves the conservation and proper channeling of vital energy. For ascetics, it means complete celibacy; for householders, it means moderation and fidelity.
This principle helps in developing self-control, mental clarity, and spiritual strength, directing energy toward higher consciousness and divine realization.
"Through brahmacharya, the soul gains the power to transcend worldly desires."
Aparigraha
Non-Attachment
Aparigraha is the practice of non-attachment and non-possessiveness. It means not accumulating beyond necessity and remaining detached from material possessions.
This principle frees the soul from the bondage of desires and attachments, leading to true contentment and spiritual liberation.
"In letting go of possessions, we possess the infinite."
