Abstract

The concept of Spirituality is difficult to understand on a superficial level. However, God is present in all of us. Trying to find that godliness or connecting with that inner God is how spirituality can be defined for a layman. Spirituality is a broad concept and is not limited to religion alone. It is not necessary that spirituality can be obtained through only a single, specific source. Each human being has an equal right for being spiritual and practice different ways of attaining spirituality. Every religion has been teaching humans to become better persons, selfless in giving. But there are different aspects of spirituality that need to be explored. This paper is an attempt to understand the concept of spirituality, its importance and the outcomes of the same amongst the citizens of Pune. The major findings reveal that spirituality is gender unbiased and that family is the primary influencer in the process of spirituality. A majority of the respondents associated peace of mind and meditation with spirituality and this can help them in overcoming situations of crisis. The research helped in developing a simple scale to measure affinity or liking towards spirituality. The research also helped in understanding the importance of technology in the process of exploring the self. Though the research is confined to a particular city, Pune, the outcome that Spirituality can be perceived as any way through which an individual realizes the connections with the external world, attains peace of mind and contentment, and becomes a better version of self where age, income, education, occupation, gender, egos do not matter at all, has global implications..
