"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)...

The Saga of the Puranas, Part 2: A massive propaganda campaign has been spread among Hindus that the Puranas (sacred histories) authored by Veda Vyasa are modern texts. It is evident from the very name *Purana* that it pertains to that which is ancient. Erasing a culture's history in order to destroy it has been an age-old tradition; denigrating the Puranas is an extension of that very practice.

The Purusha Sukta (hymn to the Cosmic Being) of the Veda is that Manasarovar of Sanatana Sanskriti (eternal culture) from plunging into which our ancestors extracted the finest of gems and jewels. The Vedas manifested upon the earth solely to secure the welfare of all humanity. If Bharat is viewed after excising these very foundational texts of dharma (cosmic and moral order)—the Vedas, Upanishads, Smritis (remembered canon), and Puranas (ancient scriptures)—th

The Saga of the Puranas (ancient chronicles), Part-1 The banyan tree of Hindu Dharma (cosmic and moral order), with its myriad branches laden with leaves, flowers, and fruits, rests upon roots that extend deep into the Vedas (sacred scriptures). But what is its trunk? Its trunk is the Puranas. If Hindu Dharma is likened to a grand multi-storeyed building, the Vedas would be called its foundation, and the 'Puranas' its pillars.

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...

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 supreme and ultimate goal of human life is the attainment of *amritatva* (immortality). In the *Devasura Sangrama* (war between devas and asuras) described in the Puranas, the *Amrita Kalasha* (pot of nectar) emerged from the *Samudra Manthan* (churning of the ocean). Bhagavan Vishnu Himself assumed the Mohini form to administer the *amrita* to the *devas*, who possessed *daivi prakriti* (divine nature). But prior to that, to establish their claim over the *Amrita Kalasha*, between the *devas* and *danavas*, 12 d

Given the controversies often seen regarding Yudhishthira and others, we must look to the Mahabharata itself to determine whether Yudhishthira and the other Pandavas were powerful in their own right and embodiments of dharma (righteousness), or if, according to modern propaganda, they were merely dependent on the mercy of Shri Krishna. For the sages repeatedly call him Dharmaraj, and their words cannot be false.

There are many Hindus who wish to know and understand Sanatan Dharma, or what we call Hindu Dharma, in its true and authentic form, but in the absence of guidance, they are unable to reach the right destination. It is both the unique characteristic and the difficulty of Hindu Dharma that, just as in other faiths, such as the Quran in Islam, and in Christianity

On the day of Mahashivratri, you must have observed your parents or grandparents worship the Shiva Linga in the morning. They might have even asked you to come to the temple with them to bathe the linga with water or milk and you may or may not have accompanied them for various r
