Dharma & CultureYudhishthira Ji asked Bhagavan Shri Krishna — "O Purushottama (supreme among men)! Upon whom are you meditating? This is indeed a matter of great wonder. Is all well with the three worlds? The prana-vayu (vital breath) residing in your body has come to a standstill. Your hair is standing on end. You are not moving in the slightest. Madhava! You, like wood, a wall, and stone..."

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 & ShastraThe so-called 'scholars' of Europe characterized the Mohenjo-daro and Harappa 'civilization' as the oldest foundation of Indian civilization and declared it to be more advanced and ancient compared to the Vedic (pertaining to the Vedas) pastoralists—a view that our policy-makers and so-called intellectuals, especially leftist historians, continue to accept to this day.

Sanskrit & Shastraमाता गुरूतरो भूमेः (The mother is weightier than the earth)—in the Mahabharata, when the Yaksha asks Dharmaraja Yudhishthira, ‘Who is heavier than the earth?’, Yudhishthira replies, ‘माता गुरूतरा भूमेः’ (The mother is weightier than the earth). Yudhishthira’s affirmation of this exalted preeminence of the mother is by no means casual; if you study the Vedas (revelatory canonical scriptures), the Veda, extolling the glory of the mother, proclaims that the mother...

Sanskrit & ShastraAbout six months ago, I read an article on Gita Press published by the BBC. The piece concocted the specious argument that the printing press known as Gita Press was working on a mission to forge a Hindu India. Subsequently, I read yet another article titled "Gita Press's Talibani Thinking on Women." Having read both articles, my mind...

Sanskrit & ShastraYour child celebrates Teacher’s Day with enthusiasm, yet pays no heed to Guru Purnima (the traditional day honoring the guru). Why? Brainwashing through education!

Dharma & CultureKrishnapaksha (dark fortnight of the lunar month)! On top of that, ashtami (eighth lunar day)! And that too during dakshinayana (southern transit of the sun)! Only a purnavatara (complete incarnation) can bear this, and make it auspicious! In a mahayuga (great epoch), there are ten avataras (incarnations) of Shri Vishnu, of which only three are purnavataras. Out of those three, only Krishnavatara (incarnation of Krishna) is meant for two yugas (epochs)—Dwapara (the third age) and Kali (the dark age), because in Kaliyuga...

Dharma & CultureIt is wrong to call Dharmaraja Yudhishthira a gambler. How many times in his life did Dharmaraja Yudhishthira play dyuta (the traditional game of dice)? How many times must one play to be called a vyasani (addict)? It is also wrong to call dyutavidya (the science of dice) gambling. Why did Dharmaraja Yudhishthira have to learn dyutavidya from a rishi (seer)? Why was no teacher to be found other than a rishi? Shaku...

Dharma & CultureGiven 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.
