What is Gyanda?
Gyanda is the first step towards attaining Enlightenment. This first step is related to the satisfaction of knowledge and is the entrance of the Jyoti Path - The path of Light.
It consists of all the required knowledge and hence solves all the mysteries of the spiritual world which has been always hidden throughout. It is the most important element of the spiritual path. Without this, the spirituality and its goal are in question. This course provides all the necessary information vested in our spiritual texts and is presented scientifically and logically which makes learning. This course is suitable to all age groups and it allows whole family to participate in learning and knowing everything what they require to be knowledge content. The topics covered in this course have never been discussed earlier and it remained dormant for a long period of time. So, the question is - what our world knows now? Knowledge of attaining enlightenment has been always private and today it needs to be public as our world needs it.

What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment is an actual experience which changes the perspective and perception of the individual, which has been touted in all the ancient religious scriptures spanning all global cultures. Thus all major religions have sprung from individuals who have experienced enlightenment. The knowledge of the enlightenment is hidden as a secret treasure and has never been in the hands of ignorant and demonic peoples from a long time and due to it the entire community is away from it. The spread of other literature is also on the foremost and it is hard to know if the knowledge content is of worth or not. The teachers were afraid of showing to the masses. The kings and the government never liked it from a long time. They were afraid about the fact that if the general mass will receive the knowledge of enlightenment they will be out of their hands and therefore the country will be at a loss. All these thinking and doctrines about the enlightenment made the secret more secret and the God has to take avatars to again flourish this knowledge in the form of Krishna, Jesus, Buddha, Tao and many more.
By Guru Sri Hitendra
Why do we need to be Enlightened?
The concept of God is misunderstood today and ignorantly it is projected by various communities around the globe and now it has become a tradition. A tradition of ignorance and supported by majority. People are shy to talk of enlightenment and take their position to be superior wher e there is debate about it without having any knowledge about it. These days everyone knows that from data, information is born and when it is in a logical sequence and from the information the knowledge is developed which later on continues to become wisdom. Though the wisdom is not communicable but still there is an effort to communicate it from a variety of aspects and view points. The process of Transformation is going on from ancient time onwards throughout mankind and it is recorded in the forms of scriptures where different segment of people have made this knowledge into religious forms and the doctrines is still preached to make this living planet a wonderful place. All the religions share an equal view of the Ultimate but from a different perspective and view, but their goal remains same - overcome the ignorance and self realization. Many have made to it. Buddha is considered to be enlightened. So is Jesus, Krishna, Rama, Adi, Janak, Vyas, Mahavira, Prophet Mohammad, Moses, Maharishi Raman, Osho, Ramkrishna Paramhansa, Vivekanand, Mahatma Gandhi and many more, but as I have already mentioned that the wisdom cannot be communicated, it's very complicated for a common layman where he is not qualified even to understand the basic principles about the separation of his ignorance.
By Guru Sri Hitendra
Where is the knowledge of Enlightenment?
We know that the secret of enlightenment is in the Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas and other religious scriptures and many have mapped down but yet not be able to come to a conclusion and there still remains a plethora of questions unanswered in community and else. Organizations, Religious instituti ons and individuals are striving to overcome the ignorance of the masses, but fail to a large extent due to the nature of ignorance and they lack in certain aspects of enlightenment and their role in it. 'Life is short and where is the time for enlightenment' is now a big question as everyone is busy around the globe in order to sustain their livelihoods and a piece of happiness which is temporary and fluctuating. The real happiness is not in the subject of desire but in themselves and in their thoughts which needs to be transformed to higher order which generally the education industry is not able to do. They are only creating well craftsmen who can do well in keeping the world alive in production and consumption only. The need for transformation in the society is a long aged debate where everyone in the community is able to think right in term of peaceful survival and as an individual rise above the pain and bondage.
By Guru Sri Hitendra
Is not everyone truly trying to gain freedom today?
Communities are suffering in wars, diseases, illiteracy, over-consumption, environmental problems, pollution and suffocation of general population, religious intolerance, non-production of agriculture and irrigation problems, earthquakes, social evils in the names of traditions, ethics, violence, bondage by wealthy persons in the name of service, overburden of taxes by the government, terrorism and many more. And everyone knows that all this is only due to the ignorance pervading about beings as themselves. The science is helping a lot to sustain the world and eradicating the evils of superstitions, but still there is a lot of scope for general development of intellect.
The science today is only for the gross world and do make our life more easy to live in this planet, but this planet is only temporary as just like a railway platform where travellers come and go to different places of their visit. The platform cannot be our homes for any permanent time. We are al l denying the science of enlightenment from every angles and keeping out of reach for general masses only due to fear in it. Those who had it previously kept it to themselves and did not spread to other. Neither they took benefit from it, nor did they benefit the community around them and made the community ignorant about being themselves. They only commanded the general masses the mundane practice which are neither in any religious scriptures and turned may religious scriptures to their benefit, hiding the real one. It is been essential to come up with a school for enlightenment where the natural thoughts of the great ancestors to be once again taught to the new generation for their self dependence and freedom which our ancestors have preserved it for the future generation, so that the people get their knowledgeable gift to enlighten themselves and their community around them so that the age of suffering ends.
By Guru Sri Hitendra
School of Enlightenment
Lord Sri Kalki school of Enlightenment is the first school in the entire world which has come up with it own pedagogy of learning in the core of enlightenment and its process. The program Enlightenment Studies has seven semesters and one can undergo one by one and can attain the state of Enlightenment. It is now essential to come up with a school for enlightenment where the natural thoughts of the great ancestors are once again taught to the new generation for their self-dependence and freedom and which our ancestors have preserved for the future generations so that the people get their knowledge gift to enlighten themselves and their community around them so that the age of suffering ends.
A school is just a place where the students go to learn and inquire about their doubts, get knowledge and transform themselves as a better human. This process should end with enlightenment and this is serious. There is no need to leave home, children, friends, or occupation and wander like a hermit to gain knowledge if the same knowledge is delivered in a school in a short period and where everyone is eagerly waiting to receive the knowledge at the same time systematically with logic and science and to the point. And those who successfully learn the knowledge of enlightenment can further deliver it to other needy persons in their areas and steer them to a wonderful life of freedom and honour themselves. The idea will surely bring an end to the injustice done to many pupils by their hypocritical teachers that has diminished the faith in the common man.
Today the parents are afraid to send their children to Monks, Sadhus, Godmen, Priests, Sanyasis or religious people for any study as there is always a chance of exploitation by them. Numerous cases have recently come to the light. Some religious sects even exploited their men and disturbed society with false knowledge and blasphemy. Thus, it becomes essential for a school to be opened on such topic where the students or seekers can graduate to higher experience and real knowledge in a very short period without leaving their wards, home and comfort. The school of enlightenment would act as a platform for learning and acquiring the most serious thing of mankind and would attract intellectuals who aim for the highest wealth known so far in humanity but which very few have attained.

My Ignorance cannot be my Life
I have long struggled to find the meaning in life, what is the point of all of it? What does existence hold for me? who am I ? The sleepless nights and hopeless mornings I have woken up to, just to repeat the fated cycle of life. Day and day again the hollowness in heart expanded, little flashes of lights passed by. But the Sun was nowhere to be seen. I want to witness the True Light & I have stated this clearly in front of Anandeshwar shivling when I visited there once.
In the dire state of confusion and weakness my heart spoke to the divine Sri Siva that I want to See the True Light. Later on I realised that the great Raj Rajesvara Shri Siva have heard my plea, those days of confusion, meaninglessness, disgust are soon coming to a halt by the grace of Sri Guru. I believe that Punyas of many lives came to my rescue when I met my Sri Guru. I have seen many flashes of lights and millions of fireflies have passed before me, but this time I am witnessing the SUN himself, that's how I felt when I met him. I felt that I can do anything, everything this world has to offer is within my arms reach.
The Gyan Agni have been lit in my heart by graceful blessings of Guru Sri Hitendra. Upon completing the lectures and reading Gyanda the Buddhi (Intellect) like sword of fire cut through the demons of ignorance. The Truth started to become clearer and clearer day by day. The smile of Sri Gurudev took away pain of lifetimes all at once. It felt like finding the Holy grail itself.
With the grace of Gurudev I have the strength to walk in path of Dharma, to overcome my weakness, to conquer my fears. The lotus feet of Sri Guru have the strength to uplift the Weakest and make them the Strongest. Om Tat Sat.

Enlightenment Studies: Gyanda
Gyanda - the course is about topics revolving around enlightenment. If anyone found the Ramayana interesting they will find the enlightenment course interesting too because the course gives the details on why what happened in the epic. 'Dharma' unit explains why Ram obeyed Kshatriya dharma even in the forest and why Sita came along with him. 'Siddhi and Shakti' units explain the kind of being Hanuman is. When I first read the book of Gyanda back in January of 2021, it was so interesting to know about the 33 deities, the 14 planetary systems and more. Then I listened to the classes and it became more clear to me.
When I first started reading I did not think more than what kind of job I will have after college, how much money I would earn and what a day in a 9 to 5 job would look like. Now I think about more than the materialistic world I used to live in. I am able to visualize bigger than a career and earning a living. Now I also consider if my future job (and organization) will be supportive of or rejecting Indian cultural values, if it will give me time to pursue Indian philosophy, how will I advance beyond yoga etc. Now I am able to think more than the rat race participation that I used to be so proud of.

Journey and Association with Guru Sri Hitendra
The courses offered by Lord Sri Kalki School of Enlightenment is a life transforming. I came in contact with Guruji Sri Hitendra during my school days, where I was actively involved in debates and philosophy. Although coming from a Hindu traditional family, due to the restrictive school education, the ideas and thinking was only restricted to physical sciences, and industrial know how. It is during that time, my entire perspective started to change when one day I entered the School Library hearing from a friend that the man who sits there knows Astrology and can predict the future. With a childish mind, I approached him to check thinking that I can somehow crack what the trick is. And that was the moment I got associated with the Founder and start of a wonderful journey, post that I continued to ask him questions and he would give logical answers to those and slowly I started making good lifestyle choices like vegetarianism etc and got to know about the Vedic principles, Upanishads etc.
Over the years, then I had to move to my hometown due to my studies, when he asked me to join him on a mission to spread peace, bliss and knowledge to the world as a transformational scientist. I couldn't make the decision then, however I promised him that after completion of my studies and undergrad course I would assist him in the activities and also learn further. Come 2020, I had received a job and that's when I remembered Sir, that as a family we all should go through a Yoga course somewhere for a change. I connected with him, that's when I came to know that Sir has shifted to Kanpur and established a school based on Sanatan Dharma, Lord Sri Kalki School of Enlightenment. I was informed that many courses have been designed as Saptagyaanbhoomi ( The seven steps of knowledge ) , as the path of light (Jyothi Path).
I enrolled into Gyanda , and it was something I had never encountered before. An ancient knowledge, so pious, so pure that I lost my presence while reading and listening to the lectures. It is soul touching. The course are designed just as any other professional courses offered by Universities and increases the knowledge, capability, strength and well being of the reader. It's a step towards a beautiful life. When one learns Gyanda, it is beneficial to the individual and also to the society as it leads to freedom and welfare of the world. Every being on the planet is born for a purpose, fulfilling the same is the life's goal.
After pursuing the courses of LSKE, my life is transformed and it helped me see the elements that make "me". The light and the dark, the divine and the demon, the good and the bad. Over the time, I have focused on light and divine characteristics, amplifying those traits which is helping me progress to become a good human being and courageous for righteousness. The quality of life has increased immensely. There is much peace and satisfaction in life and I always keep smiling by the grace of God

In the Path of Light (After Gyanda)
Before getting to know about Gyanda I was materialistic. It did not matter to me what my afterlife would look like. Any mantra I found online to benefit me I would start chanting it without even knowing if it was Tantrik or if it was meant for me. The organization I work for, the people I associate with, the work I do has seen changes after Gyanda. After reading Gyanda I could differentiate between Tantra and Sanatan Dharma. It is important because online there is a lot of information on Tantra and people who do not know what it means can start practicing it.
Now I know that Tantra is the opposite of Sanatan Dharma. Now I know better than to recite a mantra without Guru Deeksha. It also made a change in the kind of company that I wanted to work for. Now I want to work for a company or an organization that discourages animal violence, has top management that has Bhava shuddhi. It is said ' जैसा राजा वैसी प्रजा ' which translates to 'the people are like the king'. If the king is compassionless then the people of his kingdom also become compassionless. A company is like a kingdom and top management is like a king.
It made a change in the way I work. If my work makes me angry I take a second to realize that anger is a Tamsik Bhava and anyone on the Jyoti Path will have to work with calmness instead of anger. The battle between anger and calm fought in my mind is also a battle between the good and evil fought in Swarg Loka. If I let anger win over me then I let a Rakshas win over a Devta. It made a change in my friend circle. Now my friend circle has people interested in listening to Puranas and Shastras, who can discuss Indian philosophy.
I have associated with people who read about Devi and Devta. People who are happy, consume pure food, and earn white wealth can give you fulfillment by being your friends. After Gyanda my travel plans changed to Teerth Yatra. Yes, tall architectural structures and modern cities are interesting travel destinations but for me it cannot beat the Peeth enclosed in nature surrounded by mountains (such as Trikut mountain in Vaishno devi) and rivers (such as Triveni) and sacred forests (such as Naimisharanya) .

Spiritual Tours & Travel
Spiritual Tours and Travels is an opportunity of the people on the planet to experience the rich culture and heritage of Bharat and the world. The Sanatan temples are a place of purity and simplicity and where the power of Gods can be experienced. I am myself a person who likes the beauty of nature, and just in awe of the beauty of the air, water, clouds, mountains and the oceans. Visiting teerth (Spiritual Pilgrimage) is considered auspicious and touted in all major Sanatan Scriptures. The idea of Spiritual Tours and Travels is to organize and club the spirit of Adventure along with visiting beautiful temples and taking blessings Gods. Life is about expression and self discovery journey, and it is popularly said that the people should explore travelling and gaining knowledge from the young age to experience life fully. The time one spends in the Human Body is limited to around 100 Yrs , excluding the 30 years we sleep and rest 30 for work and recovery. We get less time to experience the vast wonders on this beautiful planet. Spiritual Tours and Travels is one such initiative where we curate tours tailor made to the requirements of individuals and groups. We also curate group trips with Solo travelers, to create fun memories together.

Tantra and the Present World
All the major religions emerged from the principles of the Sanatan Dharma and show similarities to the concept of God. These religions further were subjected to new laws and theories and were in conflict with each other from time to time and their testaments were questioned by the majority. These religions were suppressing humanity and were in constant conflict with each other for the supremacy of their laws and concepts of their philosophy.
Wars, Fear, conflicts, anarchy, ignorance, migration, captivity and converting to other beliefs are the key elements of these developed religions and are emerging with no logic and freedom in the form of liberation. Religions should speak about the knowledge and peace in humanity and show the path of enlightenment, but the majority of the religions are against all these and merely aim to control and expand for supremacy. Such ideologies among different religions are only to fascinate and indulge humanity into ignorance and separate them from their righteous duties. Now, it is felt that religions will bring the end of humanity by engaging every human to hate each other and end each other.
Starting in the early centuries along with the Vedas side by side the Tantra has transformed into new religions. Earlier it was restricted centring on Vishnu, Shiva and Shakti. Vishnu centring in Tantra is seen in Buddhism and Buddha too considered as an incarnation of Vishnu. Buddha is the Tantric version of Vishnu. Tantra in Indian tradition is still centred on Shiva and Shakti and is common within Hinduism. The Eastern part of India practices the Shiva-Shakti Tantra and other various forms. In Buddhism, the Vajrayana tradition is known for its extensive Tantra ideas and practices. Tantric Hindu and Buddhist traditions have influenced other Eastern religious traditions such as Jainism, the Tibetan Bon tradition, Daoism and the Japanese Shinto tradition.
Certain modes of non-Vedic worship such as Durga and Bhairav Upasana are considered Tantric in their conception and rituals which have been influenced since ancient times and have found a prominent place in Indian tradition. Various Hindu temples building also generally conforms to the iconography of Tantra. Texts of Tantra are described as Agamas. In Buddhism, its Tantra-genre literature has influenced the artworks in Tibet, historic cave temples of India and imagery in Southeast Asia. The West sees the Tantra as an erotic cult involving sexual intercourse and love-making with anyone such as Shiva-Shakti Upasana.
Kundalini Yoga, Shakti Chakra, Aghora, Yoni Tantra, Sacrifice of animals, eating of flesh and impure prohibited food etc. are common practices of Tantra in the modern world. Devil's worship is also considered Tantra. In ancient times Ravana and his son Meghnath were Tantric practitioners and were engaged in demonic activities. Practices in Christianity and Islam too are Tantric.

I and Me, the early and the new mind
'I' Is associated with the ego(Ahankar), our body. It is associated with the body that is born, that ages and one day it becomes too old to live. It keeps on changing for those who are born various times. In ignorance we think we are the body and not the soul. If for some reason we do not remember gyan Or we have never attained gyan in our previous life then we would assume 'I' Is our body after we learn about the word 'I' In the current language.
But you might ask 'what is the mind?, where is the mind located?'. The chitt is what goes on in our heads or what we think about everyday. That is why it is said that Hanuman has Sita Ram in his chitt. It's because Hanuman thinks about Sita Ram everyday. When we say do chintan of Ram we mean think about him. Our buddhi is what controls the chitt before it gets out of control. That is why it is said that the buddhi should control the mind and not the other way around. Buddhi is made from gyan, it guides us, whereas the mind can often mislead us. We become what we think so it is essential to have happy, dharmic thoughts. If we think about going against the Manusmriti we are likely to perform against the Manusmriti Dharma shastra.
If we think angry thoughts we are likely to become angry and do work out of anger. If we think happy thoughts we do our work with happiness. Yoga is often called the way of life and the way of life is often called a happy one. Yoga is a powerful tool to bring about happiness and release unhappy, angry, and sad thoughts. Yoga also detaches us from the Ahankar.
