The Difference Between Religion And Spirituality
According to Swami Mukundananda, a global spiritual leader and founder of JK Yog, religion is like a house and the core of it is spirituality. He said that, "Spirituality presents you with pearls of wisdom like self-awareness, universal awareness, awareness that universal laws apply to me and lastly, professional mastery skills."
Swami Mukundananda is also a yog saint, yoga teacher and a senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. He is the pioneer of the ground-breaking Yogic system, “Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog.” By differentiating religion from spirituality, Swami Ji said that religion is professed by the mass of the population whereas, spirituality refers to the inner core and purification and it includes divine knowledge that transcends place and circumstances.
Swami Mukundananda delves into the vedas and other holy scriptures to answer some of the most popular questions related not only to spirituality, philosophy, rituals, and devotion but also those related to mind management, life’s dilemmas, professional mastery, and self-transformation.
He also gave a mantra to fight against anger as he said that when it arises, we should use mind management techniques which means bringing the right knowledge to yourself and when we bring the right knowledge, it subdues the emotions and mind. "Self-awareness is a thing that comes with practice and which leads to the direction of self-discovery," Swami Ji added.
