Sanskrit & ShastraVery few people are aware that while Akbar had mandirs (temples) demolished in his kingdom, he did not permit the construction of mandirs. Even Sant Tulsidasji was not granted permission to build a Hanuman mandir. When Tulsidasji constructed a Hanuman mandir within the precincts of the palace in Varanasi, Akbar issued orders for its demolition as well—

Sanskrit & Shastra“Ayodhya” means that which cannot be conquered through war. Babur attacked, demolished the temple, and built a mosque; Aurangzeb demolished three other ancient temples there, yet until 1858 it remained under the control of armed sadhus who never permitted any Muslim to offer namaz at the birthplace of Ram Lalla.

Dharma & CultureBefore invading India, Babur had come to India in the guise of a Sufi (Islamic mystic) kalandar (wandering dervish). Disguised as a kalandar, he also met the Sultan of Delhi, Sikandar Lodi. He also went to Ayodhya, where two fakirs (ascetics) (Sufis) extracted a promise from him that if he demolished the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple and built a mosque there, he would receive the fakirs' bles...

Dharma & CultureWhat I am about to write today may cause distress to some. Yet, I write this after deep deliberation: the construction of the Shri Ram temple through a court verdict or with the consent of Muslims will prove suicidal for Hindutva.

Dharma & Culture"चतुर: कुंभाश्चतुर्धा ददामि" (“I bestow the four Kumbhas in fourfold measure”) — the supreme and ultimate goal of human life is the attainment of *amritatva* (immortality). Estranged from immortality since time immemorial, man remains in ceaseless pursuit of that very *amritatva*. The Puranic narrative of securing *amrita* (nectar of immortality) through the *devasura sangrama* (war between the devas and asuras) and the *samudra manthan* (churning of the ocean) makes it evident that Bhagavan Himself, through Moha (delusion)...

Sanskrit & ShastraIn India, since ancient times, there has been a tradition of selecting specific stone for the vigrahas (consecrated deity forms) of temples. From antiquity until perhaps around 150 years ago—ever since the market of sculptors developed in Jaipur—white marble murtis (consecrated images) began to be installed in temples across nearly the whole of North India.
