23rd November 2025 | Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi The Jain Shiksha Pracharak Society (JSPS), one of India’s oldest educational institutions, marked its monumental 125th anniversary with the historic launch of “Swadheen – The Meri Bhavna Project” for Grade 4 students.

भारत में साधु-संतों को आध्यात्मिक मार्गदर्शकों के रूप में देखा जाता रहा है. जिनकी शरण में गृहस्थ व्यक्ति न केवल मन की शांति पाने एवं सही ज्ञान अर्जित करने हेतु जाते हैं अपितु जब जीवन में संघर्षों का चरम हो एवं कोई राह न सूझ रही हो तो लौकिक मार्गदर्शन हेतु भी जाते हैं. आज के बदलते परिप्रेक्ष्य में भी हमारे देश में अधिकतः हम विवाहित महिलाओं को अपने परिवार के वरिष्ठों द्वारा 'दूधों नहाओं, पूतों फलो' जैसे आशीर्वाद देते हुए सुनते हैं तो सोचने पर विवश हो जाते हैं कि क्या हम वाकई बद

I express deep gratitude for the life of a remarkable man — a dedicated scholar, a devoted husband and a loving father. His journey was one marked by dedication, compassion, and an unyielding pursuit of knowledge, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire not only the present generation but the generations to come. I remember that despite staying away from fame and public gatherings, Vijay Sir was always available for the genuine seekers. One could have gone to his home in D

As their next quarterly project Dr Medhavi Jain, founder of Dharma For Life , introduced a new segment, ‘ धर्म चर्चा with Youth’, and in this series, she organised a thought-provoking podcast discussion featuring a diverse panel—three philosophy scholars, including Dr Medhavi Jain, Dr Natalia Zheleznova, and Dr Preeti R. Jain, alongside three Gen Z participants: Ms Muskan Jain, Ms Divyanshi Jain, and Ms Mannat Malik. The discussion was woven around the concept of Dharma, off

An efficient and senior scholar gets to know one’s intent, analyses the seriousness of the seeker in a very subtle way, and gives guidance in return in a subtle and indicative way. I am lucky to be able to seek guidance from many eminent scholars in my academic pursuits. Dr Parasmal Agrawal is surely one of them. Very recently, I went to Udaipur and met him and his smiling wife at their residence. I am sharing a few of our past conversations in this blog. I recently reque

लगभग दो महीने पहले एक शाम मिर्ज़ापुर से फ़ोन आया. फ़ोन पर दूसरी ओर श्रीमती पूजा गुप्ता जी की मधुर एवं सधी हुई आवाज़ थी जो मेरी लेखनी की भूरी भूरी प्रशंसा से युक्त थी. मैं अचंभित थी कि आख़िर मेरी पुस्तकें उन तक कैसे पहुंचीं. बातचीत के दौरान पता चला कि सभ्या प्रकाशन के संस्थापक एवं अभिवन इमरोज़ के संपादक आदरणीय श्री देवेंद्र बहल जी ने मेरी कुछ पुस्तकें पूजा जी को भिजवाईं, पूजा ने भी उन्हें अपनी स्टडी में दफन करने के बजाय उन्हें न केवल पढ़ना चुना अपितु मेरा नंबर प्रकाशक से लेकर अपनी प्

Spiritual knowledge is incomplete without experiencing it at the horizontal dimension. When our belief in good cinema was almost at a dying edge, there came a few movies that transcended the constrictive boundaries of how much money was being spent on making them and how famous were the stars in them. After 12th Fail, where despite the most adverse circumstances, the courage to own stark honesty was shown, I watched Chamkeela, Laapataa Ladies, and Manjummel Boys. The impact o

Positivity is that which surrounds her whole persona. Her voice cladded with charm and sweetness at all times. So much so that it fills one with good vibes. Yes, with that she has won over Corona. I am glad that she is one of my good friends. Meet Mrs. Beena Jain, a resident of Delhi. Very recently she along with five of her family members, her husband, her son, her pregnant daughter, her son-in-law and her 3 year old grand daughter, won the fight against Covid-19. Without w

When a 95-year-old, looks back at his life, he is distant enough to see and analyze its occurrences, how events took place, how achievements were accomplished and how the cosmos worked in his favor in various adversities. And when that man is a scholar, the observation becomes even deeper. As soon as I opened the book & start reading the foreword by Dr. John E. Cort, as a researcher myself, I could feel that the connection was made. Because the very first paragraph is what e

Sometimes one finds that quality of transparency, dedication & satisfaction in a work culture which can be a role model even for the bigger corporate cultures. I was feeling a bit awkward visiting a naturopathy centre for the very first time in life because I was completely unaware of its happenings and schedule. But to my surprise all my confusions and dilemmas were treated in a healthy & positive way especially by all the lady staff. They were indescribably good & helpful

During her family life often she invests too much of herself into all the relationships, be it emotions, feelings, or physical devotion. Women spend more time at home & hence with their children & husband and all the other relationships. With time she gets more & more involved and this involvement leads to the preparation of an abstract bridge of expectation that makes her believe that they will return all the care and warmth she is manifesting in them. Whereas it happens jus

Since I came in touch with the concept of Veganism, I started contemplating about the painful animal agriculture and its' harmful effects on the environment. To know more about cows' suffering what can be better than to visit a cowshed (cum research centre) and have a talk with the responsible person himself. On this Independence Day I visited 'Kamdhenu Godham' in Tavdu, Haryana, run by Mr. S. P. gupta (Ex-IAS) & his wife Mrs. Shashi Gupta. Lovingly they take care of 252 cows

Truth is bare, bitter & ugly The only beauty of it is that it takes us towards freedom Freedom of the soul, karma & what not Day: 24th June, 2018 Place: Downtown, Toronto, Canada Event: LGBT Parade I was handed over a pamphlet with the PRIDE colours on it, somehow I took it & had a random look, that mentioned the word 'SPECIESISM' means discrimination based on species & that pamphlet requested to end it. A quote was also written on it: "We don't need to oppress others to l

कमाल है, उसकी वजह से घर, घर होता है उस संग जागता, उस संग ही सोता है वह घर के कण-कण में रहती है फर्नीचर, पर्दों, रसोई के बर्तनों में बसती है फिर भी अपने वजूद को सबमें तलाशती है सबकी आँखों में अपने व्यक्तित्व की पुष्टि चाहती है ओ गृहणी आख़िर तू ऐसी क्यों है तू इन सबसे ऊपर स्वयं की एक पहचान बना कुछ ऐसा कर कि तेरी आँखों में तेरे बच्चे अपना वजूद खोजें तेरे जीवन साथी का व्यक्तित्व तुझसे ही पूर्ण हो और तू विनम्र मुस्कान ओढ़े स्वयं को खोजे सबको एक धागे में पिरोए अपनी गृहस्थी की गाड़

People say, 'they sit by your side in your ups & downs. You become a pet parent, you cuddle with him, he loves you immeasurably. Whenever you arrive at home he welcomes you with showering infinite love. Life moves on... Now you don't ponder over what you heard because his unconditional, endless love is enough for you. Then one day you become really pissed at one of your family members. You are shouting, crying... Suddenly you notice, he is the only one sitting by your side.

Hi friends, Some recent observations about the urban Indian girls made me write these lines. Despite all the conditioning of mind, through families, relatives & society; she is confident, fearless & ready to face the world. Enjoy reading. वह आज की युवा लड़की: - जो गालियों का उपयोग धड़ल्ले से करती है. - जो किसी के घूर कर देखने पर उसे 'मिडल फिंगर' दिखा देती है. - जो रिश्तों की अहमियत बखूबी समझती है. - जो दुनिया की हैरान आँखों के बावजूद हर वह काम करती है जिस पर अब तक केवल लड़क
