Day in day out we are nourished by soil 🙏🙏 .. lets raise awareness about soil crisis #PoweredBySoil #SaveSoil

A temple is not just a structure of stone and mortar but an outpouring of devotion. A paid government official cannot run it - it takes the heart of a devotee. Encouraging to see the Government’s statement. Must translate into action. -Sg

glad my best is yet to come ;)

Meet Shuga, a 28-year-old visually impaired Earth Buddy who ran 21 km (barefoot!) in the ADAC Marathon in Hanover on 12 April 2026 to raise awareness for Conscious Planet – SAVE SOIL movement. He shares that just as his feet have been pushed to their limits of exhaustion, so has the soil – which is the foundation of our life. His message is powerful: “Everyone is capable of making a difference.” He was accompanied by his friend Martin, who physically guided him along the route since he cannot see. For both of them, it was about setting an example and standing up for responsibility and community. The initiative behind this is Conscious Planet – SAVE SOIL, which is committed worldwide to regenerating our soils. #SaveSoil

Harsh reality of Indian tax payers .. 30%-40% of income goes into taxes when employed and when lay off happens you are on your own :( .. no medical insurance, no safety net, no nothing 😑

The way common devotees are treated by temple authorities is disheartening .. government have so much temple money at disperse but don’t have the will to provide basic facilities :( .. all temples should be freed from these iron clutches #Srisailam #FreeTemples

@mangaloreman @pplcallmej @iiscbangalore Congratulations sushmitha 💐💐

Proud to introduce *Dr.* Sushmitha Janakiram @pplcallmej to the world! She is a freshly minted PhD from @iiscbangalore, having successfully defended her PhD thesis this morning. This short (3 mins) research video gives a good flavor of her thesis work: youtu.be/QbIUo7pghiU

what to do @DjokerNole .. they have a long way to go before start chasing 24 slams 😁🎾🐐

@TheTennisLetter Good answer .. he is too early in his career to respond to such political questions

Learner Tien was asked what his heritage means to him, in the context of what’s happening with Trump and ICE “In the context of everything that’s happening with Trump and ICE, what does your heritage mean to you? And how important are immigrants to America in American sport today?” Learner: “Sorry, I don’t really want to talk about that right now.” (via Australian Open Press)

What Isha demonstrates is not just scale alone. Crowd flow, cleanliness, volunteer discipline, food, parking, safety, experience. When 25k people can pass through daily without chaos then it becomes case study of Operational Excellence. Now imagine if even 10% of India’s temples, heritage sites, ghats, and eco-spaces were run with this mindset, then tourism would be powerhouse India doesn’t need new attractions. It needs better execution. 𝟐. 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 Forget about 50/- entry. Just think about ecosystem that gets created around footfall. Hotels, homestays, transport, local food, handicrafts, livelihoods and lot more. Isha shows that when culture is respected and spaces are well-managed, people willingly travel, spend, and return. Globally, countries spend billions building tourist destinations. India is already having temples, rivers, landscapes, civilisational depth. What we lack is execution. 3. 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 What makes Isha work is not just infrastructure but more of cultural confidence. People don’t feel like “Customers”. They feel like participants in something larger. That’s the difference between tourism as consumption and tourism as experience. If India understands this distinction, our tourism story will skyrocket.

This is very sad and dangerous :(.. delivery partners should never onboard the train .. passengers should come near the gate and collect the item .. @Swiggy please consider stopping in seat deliveries🙏

@WealthHatch_ this is the most stupid comparision i have seen on internet 😑

This picture isn’t just about the difference between two women — it’s a difference in lifestyle. Both are 52 years old, but one has taken care of her body, diet, and mental health, while the other has spent her life overwhelmed by work, neglecting herself. Our body is our home — the more we neglect it, the faster it will break down. Time, age, busyness — these are not excuses. Set aside a little time for yourself every day, Exercise a bit, eat right, and love your body. Because a _healthy body_ isn’t just about looking good — It makes life longer, stronger, and happier ❤️

#battleofthesexes is a classic example on why biological males should never compete in women’s pool ..

My 3 day stay at Sadhguru's Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. Thread: 1. Day 1. I had expected it to be a quiet place with maybe some traffic. But I wasn't prepared for what seemed like a mini Kumbh Mela. I reached in the night and cars and buses were coming in at the rate of one every 30 seconds. There were literally hundreds of buses from all over India parked there. And the cars were beyond count. 2. The moment I stepped into the ashram premises, it felt like I was transported to a different world. The architecture, the materiald used and the absolute cleanliness of the place were impressive. Coimbatore is a pretty liveable city, quite green and much cleaner than most Indian cities, yet the contrast between the inside of Isha Foundation and the outside is unmissable. 3. Now add Indian spirituality into it, and the aura of the place is lifted. Once you are in, it's like living in a mini self-contained city with almost everything provided for. Sadhguru has done an immense service to India by developing this ashram. 4. The first stop is the evening sound and light show at the Adiyogi statue. The massive statue dominates the grounds. I'm not much of a sound and light person but Sadhguru's commentary is spellbinding. 5. Morning, Day 2. The ashram feels like a buzzing, busy, happening place with people from all over India and perhaps 10% from overseas. And unlike the images of Europeans chanting slokas in Iskcon or Osho, at Isha most of the foreigners are East Asian. Indresha, my point of contact at Isha, said pre-Covid, there were literally thousands of visitors from China. I felt the foreigners had more bhakti compared with the Indian visitors. This could be because we Indians are more touristy whereas the Chinese, Vietnamese and Cambodians came here specifically to seek peace. 6. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Isha is the young crowd. The average age of the ashram residents couldn't be more than 25. These youth don't come here to network or hook up; their gaze isn't wandering but instead fixed inwards. I felt most of them were greatly in turmoil and had found peace here. There was a sense of contentment on their faces. I'm sure, had they not come to Isha, many of them may have taken to drugs. This is why I thank Sadhguru from the bottom of my heart for saving the our young people - whether they be Indians or foreigners. 7. Food. All meals are free for those attending the various programmes. It's simple, healthy, sattvic and tasty vegetarian fare. Plus, it’s all you can eat. If you want something different, there are a couple of restaurants that offer tea, coffee, snacks and Indian and Western cuisine. 8. Isha School. If Sadhguru had only established the school and nothing more, I would still be eternally grateful to him. The school, attended mostly by tribal children, is located in a tranquil village a few km away from Isha. It's surrounded by trees and has a peaceful ambience. The best part is that the education is completely in English like any school in Delhi or Chennai. It blows your mind to see little tribal children speaking in perfect English like any Delhi kid (minus the fake accent and uppity attitude). All children are given wholesome, tasty food daily by the school free of cost. There are computer classes and science labs that are as good as any quality school in India. The red brick building is well maintained like a private school. 9. Shopping. I like that Isha doesn't act like a tourist trap that rips you off. Everything that I bought (saffron dhoti-pant, sukku coffee, copper bracelet) was reasonably priced and of a superior quality. 10. Accommodation. I chose the Nalanda rooms which are located in a beautiful garden/cove like space. The rooms are as good or better than 4 star quality. The ambience is unmistakably superior. 11. Day 3. Pre-dawn group meditation. You can come in and join the chanting or you can sit quietly and soak in the spirituality. It was amazing, but for me, the most unique and uplifting experience was the evening aarti which was held in a giant space age rotunda built entirely of stone. You can feel the energy there. There are several sessions of around 30 minutes each but it's best to be early and be in the first session which begins around 7pm. 12. The ashram has a gaushala where abandoned, old and sick cows are cared for. There is also a handsome bull who was once reportedly quite hot tempered and unruly but became gentle as a fawn in Sadhguru’s presence. I fed the bull and he seemed quite friendly. 13. Leaving was hard. A deep feeling of homesickness hit me in the tummy. In just three days, I had got attached to a place where I have no family or friends. 14. Even as I write this, I'm feeling nostalgic and want to visit again. The place has a strong pull - it's sattvic and I envy the volunteers who live there full time and are lucky to be part of a mini paradise. Although I had to get up at 4.00 am daily, I was full of energy all day. I guess, it's when we encounter such places as Isha that we realise what we are missing in our lives.

@fooobar we went 3 weeks back .. we went for darshan at 5am and i have no idea how we ended up in inner sanctum .. 🙏🙏.. it took us 1 hour

Spoke too soon - almost a stampede like situation. Pressed the eject button after four hrs - didn't want to take any chance with old parents. Crowd management needs to be fixed here!

Arunachaleswarar Temple @ Tiruvannamalai While most other Shiva temples house a Lingam inside the sanctum, in Tiruvannamalai, the Hill itself is considered the Lingam (the form of fire). The idol inside the temple is the Agni Lingam.

Religious terrorism is not just to our West but to our East as well. CAA must be amended and implemented so that terrorized communities in our neighbourhood are offered protection. This is our Civilizational Responsibility. -Sg
