Why Are the Youth Mindset deteriorating? Is There a Path to Reform?

According to the Yogasutra, kusamskara (negative mental impressions) are formed through the unceasing bad karma (action) of past lives and this present life. It is these very kusamskaras that are the trash continuously accumulating upon the chitta (mind-stuff). What, then, has the chitta become nowadays? A dustbin or a dump yard!! Time and again, news arrives that so many people die when a mountain of garbage collapses

The interdependent relationship between Brahmana and Kshatriya

A gang has been created on social media that is manufacturing differences between Brahmins and Rajputs. Today, after conducting research across numerous grantha (texts), I would like to give them a reply. Although this research yielded 25-30 shloka (verses) and several episodes that illustrate the interdependent relationship between Brahmin and Kshatriya, but the article t

Social and Economic Implications of Beauty Pageants

So, Manushi Chhillar won the beauty crown, and you began jumping for joy in total ecstasy.

How to Benefit from the Modi Government's Mudra Scheme?

Read attentively, then ask whatever you wish. First of all, let me clarify for those who frequently ask, "I do such-and-such work, or want to do it.

When Romaharshan and Ugrashrava of Suta Jati Became Brahmanas

Tales from the Puranas (sacred texts), Part 3: When Romaharshana and Ugrashrava of the Suta jati (bardic order) became Brahmanas. "Breaking India" powers attack Hindu culture in order to break India; after all, Hindu culture is indeed Indian culture. Part of that very conspiracy is attempting to prove the casteism that emerged in the medieval period to be ancient, and the so-cal...

Lord Shri Ram was born this many years ago

*Sanatana Sanskriti* (eternal culture) is not time-bound, which is why it is called *Sanatana*. That *shashvata* (eternal) *dharma* (cosmic order and righteous duty) which has come down through tradition across the three periods of time and is beyond time itself, is *Sanatana*. Yet, the intellect of those influenced by modern scientism fails when limited to mere physical yardsticks. Much controversy is generated over the birth era of Shri Ram. But the resolution of this...

Planetary Position in the Kundali of Independent India

Jyotisha (astrology) is inherently a complex vidya (discipline). Within it, Medini Jyotisha (mundane astrology) is even more difficult. One may master individual kundali (birth charts) by devoting a great deal of time, but no one can attain complete mastery over Medini Jyotisha. The reason for this is the impact of the changing positions of planets in Medini Jyotisha

Historicity and Authenticity of Shrimad Bhagavata and Puranas

Certain misguided individuals fueled by sectarian animosity refuse to accept 'Shrimad Bhagavat', the crest-jewel among the Puranas (ancient texts), as authored by Maharshi Vedavyasa, claiming instead that it was written in the 13th century by a pandit (scholar) named Bopadeva. Although they could not produce proof for this even over several lifetimes, yet futile words...

The First and Last Gathering of the Greatest Scientists

A coincidence never to be repeated: Once a photograph appears on the internet, it can no longer be called a ‘rare photo’. This photograph of the Solvay Conference (in the year 1927) (shown here) is likewise not rare in the above context, yet there is one fact that renders this photograph rarer than rare.

I Want a Brother Like Ravana!

Nowadays, a falsehood has been very cleverly circulated among Hindus that Ravana never touched any woman, that if he had lust he also had self-restraint, and so on—all to prove Ravana to be a man of character and to draw people away from Shri Ram, bringing them close to the demon Ravana. But is this actually true?

What Are the Varnas? Who Is Foremost Among the Four?

What is varna (traditional social order)? Who is foremost among the four varnas? In contemporary times, the Shudra (service and artisan order) varna is perhaps assumed to be impoverished people clad in wretched clothes; that is why many jatis (lineage-based communities) take issue with being designated as Shudra varna. Before I offer my view on what follows, let me clarify one thing: if tomorrow someone presents me with my true history and th—

The Meaning, Application, and Fruits of Mantra

Mantra: The instrument of the mind is called a "mantra". That is, the means to turn into truth whatever *sankalpa* (resolve) the mind conceives is called a mantra. No Vedic *samhita* (textual collection) contains "mantras". In the Rigveda, there are *richas* (verses) used for praise in a *yajna* (sacred ritual), the *saman* (melodic chants) of the Samaveda are sung, and with the *yajus* (prose formulas) of the Yajurveda, *havi* (oblation) is offered

Who Were the Shudras (fourth varna)? What Did the Shudras Do?

Shudras (the fourth varna) lived on the outskirts of the village and protected it. Working on the land of farmers, demarcating village boundaries, providing security to merchants as they moved from place to place, protecting agricultural yields and the state treasury, and safely transporting them from one place to another—all these were the duties of the Shudras.

The History of India's Economic Prosperity – Part 1

There are two statements we all have been hearing and reading since childhood: 1. India was the *sone ki chidiya* (golden bird) 2. India was a *krishi-pradhan* (agrarian) nation. Just as the first statement is an absolute truth, the second statement is an outright lie. Yet, lacking the evidence to prove either, we find ourselves helpless. First of all, let us talk about

Bharatendu Harishchandra: The Patriarch of Modern Hindi

Bharatendu Harishchandra was granted a lifespan of merely 35 years, yet in that brief time, he completely transformed the very character of Hindi—from prose to poetry, drama, and journalism. Bharatendu Harishchandra, who sounded the clarion call of the *navjagaran* (renaissance) through Hindi literature, was born in Kashi on 9 September 1850. These
