ii
True God

1
T rue G od

God and hell can’t exist


together.
Either there can be infinite
mercy or infinite curse, not
both.

2
T rue G od

I won’t bow down to a God


who I can’t question.
I rather bow down where my
questions end.

3
T rue G od

Calming slave of the God


is the insult of the God
who inspires us to be free from
all bondages!

4
T rue G od

God doesn’t want rituals.


She wants actions.

5
T rue G od

I would love a God that I can


question without fear.

6
T rue G od

God won’t judge you on


which God you believe in.
She will judge you on what
you did to her creatures.

7
T rue G od

God that can’t stand


disbelievers simply needs to
evolve.

8
T rue G od

If God can break laws, she can


kill herself too.
So if God has to exist, she has
to abide by laws.

9
T rue G od

Fools argue over


characteristics of God.
Wise live God through noble
actions.

10
T rue G od

Superman can directly fly to


God. But if you are a human
seeking God, stay away from
meat, wine, lust.

11
T rue G od

God does not need cult to


show his selflessness.
Cult needs God to hide its
selfishness.

12
T rue G od

Given the way western faiths


define God, it is
definitely more reasonable to
be an atheist.
Given the way Vedas define
God, He is no more mere faith.
He is Science.

13
T rue G od

Concept of a ‘just’ God is


guaranty of law & order.
Concept of ‘life is chemical
reaction’ is recipe to mess.
Because chemical reactions do
not believe in accountability.

14
T rue G od

For a God sitting on a throne


on 7th sky,
I am atheist.
For a God who manages
Karma of souls and maintains
complete law & order based
on accountability,
I am a believer.

15
T rue G od

My God is not Gabbar Singh


who would punish those who
do not donate and bow to the
Kaliaas he sends to Ramgarh
from time to time.

16
T rue G od

My God is not a dictator like


Hitler or script-writer like
Salim-Javed.
He does not decide our fate.
We decide our fate.
He merely ensures that we get
what we decided.

17
True worhip

18
T rue W orship

Worship is not about putting


your wish list to God.
It is about promising God to
fight till end to achieve your
goals.

19
T rue W orship

A brave atheist who believes


in accountability is closer
to God than a coward theist
who commits sins and then
foolishly thinks that he will be
saved.

20
T rue W orship

God doesn’t count how many


times you prayed.
God does not remember in
which words you prayed.
She only remembers whether
your words and actions
matched.

21
T rue W orship

Prayer is not a replacement of


efforts. It’s a catalyst that
boosts the effectiveness of
your efforts.

22
T rue W orship

There are innumerable forms


of entertainment.
But nothing is as satisfying as
worship.

23
T rue W orship

God is closer to you then


yourself.
Don’t let world teach you
how you should pray.
Just go your own way.
Do it with your own words.
Do it your own time.

24
T rue W orship

Bhakti without karma is


opium. Bhakti on foundation
of karma is recipe for Divya
Moksha.

25
T rue W orship

Pray to complement your


actions, not substitute them.

26
T rue W orship

An hour of Ishwar Dhyana


is the best gift you can give
yourself daily.
It is the most powerful way to
transform every aspect of life.

27
T rue W orship

If you are not doing daily


Dhyana, you are missing soul
of Dharma.

28
T rue W orship

Bhakti without Shakti will not


get you Mukti.

29
S oul

Only glorification of God’s


qualities is not worship,
imbibing them in life is.

30
Soul

31
S oul

Let mortals fear hellfire. I am


soul I am immortal.

32
S oul

Soul is the greatest prophet,


greatest messenger, greatest
apostle.
Never be unfaithful to this
holy spirit.

33
S oul

There has to be purpose


behind being scientific.

34
S oul

No scripture is superior to
your own intellect.
No prophet is superior to your
own self.
No religion is superior to
humanity.

35
S oul

Love is closeness of souls not


bodies.
Love does not bind.
It liberates.

36
Dharma - True Religion

37
D harma - T rue R eligion

Follow Dharma based on


principles and reason,
and not looking at someone’s
clothes or designation.
“Principles above
personalities.”

38
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religions claim that


spiritualism begins where
logic ends.
Vedas say that one cannot
even think of reaching God
without logic.

39
D harma - T rue R eligion

We have warriors who are not


Adhyatmic.
We have Adhyatmic saints
who are not warriors.
If you want both, and follow
real Krishna.

40
D harma - T rue R eligion

In Eastern faiths, focus is on


exploring world within.
In Western faiths, focus is on
mimicking external orders.
The two cannot converge.

41
D harma - T rue R eligion

We have a tendency to define


Dharma as per our
convenience.
It takes courage to define
ourselves as per Dharma.

42
D harma - T rue R eligion

Dharma is immortal.
It always wins.
It is only us mortals who win
or lose.

43
D harma - T rue R eligion

Vedas are not an initial point


but a final benchmark. Initial
point is pursuit of truth.

44
D harma - T rue R eligion

True religion is defined as the


dedicated pursuit of timeless
noble principles that no one
can consider to be irrelevant
at any point in time.

45
D harma - T rue R eligion

True religion is the one which


has eternal principles, logic
and truth.

46
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religion that can’t stand


depth of criticism is most
shallow.

47
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religion that can’t stand


logic is the most illogical.

48
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religion that doesn’t believe


in equality is most
unbalanced.

49
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religion that doesn’t have


vastness of philosophies is
most narrow.

50
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religion becomes great by the


principles it holds, and not by
the claims of its followers.

51
D harma - T rue R eligion

The real Dharma of human is


to show his humanity in his
actions.

52
D harma - T rue R eligion

A religion that does not allow


use of brain is of no use.

53
D harma - T rue R eligion

In Dharma, scriptures are to


guide you.
In cults, scriptures are to
threaten you.

54
D harma - T rue R eligion

Religion is a organised chase


of blind assumptions. Vedic
Dharma is celebration of
freedom.

55
D harma - T rue R eligion

By following which human


can show and practice his
humanity without fear is true
religion.

56
D harma - T rue R eligion

The bonds of culture are


stronger than bonds of
religion.

57
D harma - T rue R eligion

In Eastern faiths, focus is on


exploring world within. In
Western faiths, focus is on
mimicking external orders.
The two cannot converge.

58
Spirituality

59

protects you.

God.

60
S piritualit y

spirituality.

Spirituality tells
you why life is.

About Agniveer
Agniveer was founded by Shri Sanjeev Newar, an IIT-IIM
professional, data scientist, and Yogi to provide a solu-
tion-oriented, spiritually driven, and honest approach to
improving the world - within and outside an individual.
Agniveer specializes in practical applications of timeless
wisdom of Vedas, Geeta, and Yoga to address the contem-
porary challenges of life. Thousands of testimonials of
transformation - from people who were on verge of com-
mitting suicide, fighting depression, confused about life,
directionless, unable to address social injustice around -
attest the massive change it has been able to bring.

Agniveer takes credit in bringing several ignored, uncom-


fortable but critical issues to public attention. Agniveer is
the leading advocate of social equality in India and pioneer
of ‘Dalit Yajna’ initiative to break caste and gender
barriers. Agniveer spearheaded the Muslim women rights
campaign facing severe backlash from conservative and
fanatic elements. Yet, it was successful in bringing details
of disgusting practices like Halala, sex-slavery, polygamy,
triple talaq and love jihad to limelight and evolving a
consensus against them. Agniveer women helpline deals
with such cases and has brought many smiles.

Agniveer also introduced the concept of unarmed

combat workshops across sensitive parts of country to


create a skilled team that is able to defend vulnerable from
criminals. Agniveer is a prominent champion of de-radi-
calization and has brought innumerable youth to join the
mainstream path. Agniveer’s narrative on history has
created a significant momentum to question the authentic-
ity of populist history taught out of political compulsions.

Agniveer has published several books on social equality,


caste equality, gender equality, human rights, the contro-
versial religious rights and history, apart from books on
self-help, Yoga, Hinduism, and life-hacks. Readers appre-
ciate the books for straightforward, original, solution-ori-
ented, practical, fresh, and mind-bending experience.
