There are two kinds of religion: relative and Real. Most people practice relative religion, engaging in practices of the mind, speech and body. For example, chanting prayers could be considered a relative religion of speech, meditation a relative religion of mind, and yoga a relative religion of the body.

However, in these religious approaches, can one ever truly become free from the doer-ship of the relative self? It is precisely this doer-ship that keeps one bound in the domain of the non-self, and which disallows the Real Self from being realized.

In a religion of the Real, the binding influence of doer-ship is bypassed because Self-knowledge is bestowed through the grace of a fully Self-realized person such as a Gnani Purush, an embodiment of Self-knowledge.

The Self-Realization that a Gnani Purush offers can be said to be the starting point of Real religion, for only after realizing one's true identity as the Self, does Real religion begin within.

In Akram Vignan, a direct path to Self-Realization, one can achieve Self-Realization "Religion" in a mere 48 minutes through Gnan Vidhi, or ceremony of Self-Realization. For this, one need only to meet Akram Vignan's current Atma Gnani, Pujya Deepakbhai Desai, and receives Self-Realization from him in the Gnan Vidhi ceremony.
