Most of us have been raised to believe that life is a battle. We’re told to “fight for our future,” “defeat the odds,” and “conquer challenges.” Destiny, in this worldview, becomes an adversary — something standing between us and the life we want. But think about it. What does it mean to “fight destiny”? Isn’tContinue reading “Why Battle With Destiny, When You Can Flow With It?”

The Selective Virtue of Feeding
In India, people often consider it a virtue to feed stray dogs with dry chapatis or pigeons with yesterday’s rice. It is preached as charity, compassion, and even religion. But one question remains unanswered: if feeding stale food to dogs is virtue, then why isn’t feeding goat and beef meat to lions and tigers alsoContinue reading “The Selective Virtue of Feeding”
Why You Should Not Believe in Astrology When Young
Recently, I received a well-articulated mail from a LinkedIn contact asking for an astrological consultation. The mail was impressive — full of clarity, respect, and confidence. Out of curiosity, I glanced at his date of birth. 2005. 2005? That makes him just 20 years old. In my 22 years as a professional astrologer, I’ve never had aContinue reading “Why You Should Not Believe in Astrology When Young”
When Law and Morality Clash with Nature
There are many things in life that are not wrong biologically, psychologically, or even spiritually—but they are morally condemned and legally forbidden. This tension is what makes human society both fascinating and frustrating. Take polygamy. Biologically, humans are not wired for strict monogamy; psychology even suggests our minds wander, and many spiritual traditions neither forbid norContinue reading “When Law and Morality Clash with Nature”

What Came First: Astrology or Astronomy?
Human beings have always looked up at the night sky in wonder. Long before telescopes, satellites, or NASA, people were already mapping the stars.

The Legacy of Hero Worship
India has always been a strange country when it comes to talent. We struggle to recognize it, and when we finally do, we rarely know how to nurture it. We cannot seem to accept that human minds don’t function uniformly. There are intellectuals, and there are dumbfucks. And let’s face it—dumbfucks can ace their examsContinue reading “The Legacy of Hero Worship”
Four Paths, Two Shortcuts: Why Most Hindus Never Graduated Spiritually
Hinduism, in all its philosophical brilliance, laid out four distinct spiritual approaches for liberation. Each was designed according to human intelligence: • Karma Mārga → Action and duty • Bhakti Mārga → Love and devotion • Jñāna Mārga → Knowledge and wisdom • Rāja Mārga → Meditation and discipline In theory, these four paths offered a balanced spiritual education:Continue reading “Four Paths, Two Shortcuts: Why Most Hindus Never Graduated Spiritually”
Who Really Spoke the Gita?
The Bhagavad Gita is perhaps the most quoted, most interpreted, and most debated scripture in Indian philosophy. But here is a question that rarely gets asked: whose voice are we actually hearing in the Gita? Is it Vyāsa’s? Krishna’s? Arjuna’s? Sanjaya’s? Or are we, in fact, listening to a story narrated to a blind king inContinue reading “Who Really Spoke the Gita?”
Partition: The Gift RSS/BJP Never Acknowledge
The RSS and BJP never tire of complaining about India’s partition. “If only Gandhi hadn’t agreed to it,” they whine, as if Mahatma Gandhi single-handedly drew the lines on the map. But let’s set aside the rhetoric and look at some numbers. Before Partition (1947) • India’s total population: 389 million • Muslim population: 94 million (24%)Continue reading “Partition: The Gift RSS/BJP Never Acknowledge”
