Undaunted. Unflinching. Unshakable.
If our annual calendars were aligned to our culture, Ashwin-Kartik would be our vacation months - with Navaratri, Dussehra, Karwa Chauth, Dhanteras, Deepawali, Bhai Duj, Chhath, Kartik Purnima, Gurpurab - also when our account books would reset after Lakshmi Puja.
Someday 🙆
As much as I want Indian Tourism to flourish, I do not want people to spend festivals like Deepawali in hotel rooms when they should be lighting up and celebrating at their homes with family and friends.
Your thoughts?

This election can I demand a blanket ban on putting these ceramic tiles in temples across India? They just take away the energy of the place or am I the only one who thinks so?

Selling non-veg at ghats of Ganga in Kashi is something I am yet to digest, and now this.

These images of Chhath Puja in Yamuna in Delhi tell me two things:
1. Unshakable faith of the devotees who stand in the filth and keep the tradition alive, no matter what.
2. Absolute apathy and unaccountability of the administration, and our inability to question.
Started reading Srimad Devi Bhagwat Mahapuran () - a 2 volume Granth of roughly 1000 pages each. Should be a good 1-2 year project to read it. Will share some snippets as I read. Seeking your blessings.
Stop the sale of drinking water. Next 5 years have to be spent on cleaning our groundwater, our rivers and ensure supply of safe drinking water across the country. No water bottles, no water tanker, no purifier business,
