Remembering my father-in-law on his third death anniversary
आदरणीय पापा जी, आज आपको गए तीन वर्ष हो गए. हर बार की तरह कल सुबह घर में हवन है एवं सभी साइट्स पर भण्डारा. मानव स्वभाव की विचित्रता पर हर दिन मुस्कुराती भी हूं एवं विचलित भी हो जाती हूं कि आख़िर क्यों जब व्यक्ति भौतिक जगत में होता है हम उसके सहज ज्ञान को, जीवन के उतारों-चढ़ावों के दौरान अर्जित प्रज्ञा को, जो वह नित दिन अपने आस-पास के लोगों में सहज ही अपने कथनों एवं कर्मों के माध्यम से बांटता रहता है, बस यूं ही जाने देते हैं. कभी उसकी कही बातों का मज़ाक बना कर, कभी खीसें निपोर कर

My review of the 6 day online workshop on an Introduction to Indian Philosophy
I bow to the countless seekers of truth who have searched and found the absolute. I bow to all the founders of all the thought schools of India, who ignited the spark of seeking and provided some solace in some form to the seekers. I was delighted to stumble upon an online course, ‘An Introduction to Indian Philosophy,’ during one of my Facebook scrolls. I am so glad I instantly joined it, as I have always felt the need for a platform that provides all the answers to queries

I was delighted to receive an invitation to the National Workshop on 'Karma and Health' at the esteemed Sumandeep Vidyapeeth Deemed University of Vadodara, held on February 9th and 10th, 2024.

I was excited to join the scientific discussions. As I stepped into the first day of the workshop, a w


My review on Mr Vijay K Jain's work of devotion: Kalyāṇamandira Stotra
Very recently, I received yet another work of devotion and wisdom from the famous scholar of Jainism, honorary Mr Vijay K Jain, titled Kalyāṇamandira Stotra, written by Ācārya Kumudacaṁdra in 6th Century CE. Mr Jain has not only beautifully translated all 44 ślokās of the Stotra but has also added explanatory notes, wherever needed, to make the reader grasp the essence of the prayer. What impresses me the most about this Indian philosophy is that it motivates one to find the

The Family of Corona Warriors Who Won The Battle Together
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
CORONA BEYOND CONSPIRACY
Garbage is not that which we see openly in our surroundings but that which we get rid of secretly, in a way which one is unable to grasp that how much harm that causes to our environment, and in the long run to mother earth. Be it physical garbage or abstract. Imagine an Indian household almost 40-50 years back. One will picturize one coming back from outside, washing all the uncovered parts of body before entering the house, changing the outdoor chappals with the inhouse on
My Review on Dr. Padmanabh Jaini’s autobiography ‘Coincidences’ (Yogãyoga)
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

Sanjeevani Naturopathy Centre-Gohana
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

What to do if your Indian Passport is lost abroad
Losing passport, in some other country, is perhaps the worst nightmare one can have. But it happens as destined. This time I was its victim and the city was London, UK. The thieves there are so efficient in their jobs that it's really hard to keep our stuff safe from them. Not only my passport but also all my cash in GBP was stolen, that too when the bag was with me at all times. So without further ado here is what you are supposed to do: First step is to register a police c
Cheer up! Write up on middle aged women
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
Learnings from my recent visit to a cowshed cum research centre
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
Happy Independence Day
Those who have read a bit of literature on partition, know that it was not at all a happy moment for millions of people. Overnight they were uprooted from their centuries old dwellings. Lakhs of people marched from India to the neighbouring country & from there to here. Thousands of them were died on the way either due to hunger or religious/political attacks. Women were raped, men were mutilated. Trains full of dead bodies used to arrive at railway stations. As that generati
What to do if you find a dead peacock
Efforts are never wasted and in the process they strengthens one's faith in them which eventually turns into confidence The reason behind this quote has its roots in a sad incident of today's morning itself. When I saw a peacock that died just at that time only, (I saw the last movement of his legs). While I was contemplating about what to do next, I searched on google & surprisingly there was neither any information of any cremation services for a peacock nor any number me

A quote was also written on it: "We don't need to oppress others to l
