Need For Spirituality
Spreading the science of Spirituality
to combat deceit in the name of Spirituality

    Some time ago, there were reports about David Korem. He is considered as a self-declared prophet, who founded the Dominion in 1990. The Dominion of Melchizedek is an unusual country. No one lives there, and it did not appear on any maps. However, the reports mentioned that the place was home to hundreds of banks and other financial institutions. Banking is how the Dominion makes its bread and butter. The country's real purpose, according to Korem, is religious and spiritual. Korem has founded this country along with his father, and both have served time for financial fraud.

    Some say that the country is actually a haven for swindlers and con artists. It seems that for such reasons, it has been in trouble with the law a few times.

    We often hear of such spiritual frauds. Such frauds are able to cheat people in the name of Spirituality by taking advantage of spiritual ignorance in society. Hence, the only effective way to put an end to such frauds would be to educate society about the science of Spirituality. That is the reason that the spread of Spirituality is the best form of service unto the Truth.

*If one is not currently doing any spiritual practice, or to complement one's current spiritual practice, one can begin with the simple, but powerful spiritual practice of chanting or constantly remembering God's Name according to one's religion. Chanting also acts as a useful complement to any spiritual path one may be already following. It is a practice recommended for the current times by Holy texts and Saints of all religions.

  • Seekers in the initial stages of spiritual practice (less than one year) can repeat The Name of the Lord as per their religion (refer to Issue 3 Clarification of Doubts section for details).

  • Seekers who have been doing regular spiritual practice for over a year or so can determine the appropriate chant for them from the experiment given in Issue 124, Message to Seekers section.
