'His fate belongs to him. His rock is his thing.he knows himself to be the master of his days.The structure though repetitive sets him free'

Speak your truth. Honor your soul. ✨

This paragraph from Carl Jung hits so hard. “The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”

Shiv is mind, Shakti is the energy.

(2/2) I had the opportunity to spend this year's #Sivaratri at Mahadev's own abode at #Varanasi. Thankful for his guidance during the darkest times. Thankful for all the moments that shaped me over the years. Excited for the experiences he has in store for me. #HarHarMahadev

(1/2) Spirituality at a basic level suggests that you are just your soul. As you go deeper you realise that even your soul belongs to Paramatma. The only thing that you own in this lifetime is the experiences that you co-create with the creator. #LatePost #HarHarMahadev #Sivratri

A few days ago we celebrated Vijay Diwas marking the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan by the Indian army in 1971. Right now Bangladesh is committing genocide against the Hindu minorities and repeating what Pakistani army did to them in 1971. What a shame.

Except they don’t know that God is driving Arjun’s chariot 😍 Pure goosebumps 🔥

A PRAYER FOR THE SOUL OF DIPU CHANDRA DAS History remembers sacrifice. But today, the soil that was once liberated with Indian blood is being stained with the blood of innocent minorities. In 1971, our Indian Armed Forces stood for the oppressed. Our brave soldiers didn’t just fight a war; they fought for the identity and dignity of millions of people of what is now called Bangladesh. Nearly 3,900 Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives and over 10,000 were injured to ensure the birth of Bangladesh. We gave our lives so that others could live in peace. But today, “peace” is just a word; persecution is the reality. According to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, 2,442 incidents of violence against minorities were documented between August 2024 and July 2025. Over 150 temples have been vandalized and desecrated. These are not just acts of unrest or random chaos; it is a deliberate, targeted strike at the heart of a community’s faith and its right to exist. The pattern of targeting is clear and cruel - Last year, we saw the unjust jailing of the ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das and the brutal lynching of the Communist party leader Pradip Bhowmik. And now the horrific murder of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh. This young man was not just killed; he was subjected to a level of savagery that shames the 21st century. Reports confirm he was lynched in public by a frenzied mob, his body was then hanged from a tree, and he was set on fire. To witness such a demonic act in broad daylight is a sign of a complete collapse of humanity and the rule of law. My heart goes out to the soul of Dipu Das. I pray for his peace and offer my deepest condolences to his grieving family, who have had to endure a loss so gruesome it is beyond comprehension. The demographic reality of the region is a chilling testament to this ongoing tragedy. In 1951, Hindus made up 22% of the population. Today, that number has plummeted to below 8%. This isn't just migration; it is a systematic persecution that the world chooses to ignore. I call upon the Leadership of Bangladesh to move beyond mere words of condemnation and restore stability. You must ensure the safety of every Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian citizen. The perpetrators of the Mymensingh horror must face the ultimate justice to show that no mob is above the law. I also urge World Leaders and the international community @UNHumanRights @UN to open their eyes to the plight of minorities in Bangladesh. Selective silence is a betrayal of human rights. The blood of our 1971 martyrs was shed for a land of peace, not a land of persecution. We cannot, and will not, remain silent. #SaveBangladeshMinorities #GlobalHinduMinority

Once you realize that all comes from within, that the world in which you live has not been projected onto you but by you, your fear comes to an end. It is only when you fully accept your responsibility for the little world in which you live, and watch the process of its creation, preservation and destruction, that you may be free from your imaginary bondage. ~ Nisargadatta

Ha ha 😂

All 3 cases are from Tamil Nadu. 1) Madras High Court permitted lighting the Karthigai Deepam lamp at Deepathoon, the ancient stone lamp-pillar on Thiruparankundram hill in Madurai. Court clearly said that site lies on land belonging to the Subramaniya Swamy Temple and not on Dargah land. But DMK govt in Tamil Nadu did not follow the order and move to Supreme Court against the Madras HC order. 2) A month ago, in N. Panjampatti village in Dindigul district, Christians objected to and opposed Hindus conducting annadhanam (food donation) on a govt-owned public ground during Kaliyamman Temple's kumbabishekam. Why? They claimed that the public ground is traditionally used for their Easter events. After that, the Madras High Court intervened, ruling that public ground cannot be monopolized by one community. It should be available for use by all communities or none. The Court allowed the Hindu event. And, Christians blocked roads and protested against the High Court order. 3) In V Kalathur village, Muslims have been objecting to Hindu temples processions since 2012, terming them as sins. In 2021, Madras High Court said that "Just because one religion dominates a locality, it doesn't mean other religion's processions can't pass through that area". The court allowed Hindu temples processions. No one gave lectures about Secularism in any of these 3 cases.

Agreed. Not every endeavour is made to please the society or for external validation; this champ chose this harmless path for his internal transformation, it doesn't have to make sense to the society that ignores intuition and cares only about material output.
