From Swords to Software: India’s Long History of Submission
The Mughals came with swords. The British came with suits. The Americans came with software. One after another, they ruled. One after another, we served. India was under Mughal domination for 650 years. Then came 190 years of British colonial rule. And now, without firing a bullet, the United States has colonised our economy, our culture,Continue reading “From Swords to Software: India’s Long History of Submission”
Born into Faith: The Subtlety of Forced Conversion
Most of us never choose our religion. We inherit it — like a surname, like a caste, like the language we first cry in. From the moment of birth, the label is stamped: Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or something else. Not through understanding or belief — but by accident of birth. And with that label comes a lifestyle, aContinue reading “Born into Faith: The Subtlety of Forced Conversion”
Ravana Ruled for 5,000 Years — But Dharma Endures Longer
Ravana, the mighty king of Lanka, is believed to have ruled for nearly 5,000 years. A scholar, a Shiva devotee, and a ruler of unmatched power — yet remembered more as a villain than a visionary. His reign wasn’t brief or accidental. He ruled long, and he ruled well — if well is defined as economicContinue reading “Ravana Ruled for 5,000 Years — But Dharma Endures Longer”
Marriage or Mere Arrangement? A Reflection on Modern Unions
Marriage, in its essence, was once a sacred institution — a man and a woman coming together to build a home, raise children, and contribute to a larger social and spiritual order. It was a union rooted in shared responsibilities, societal roles, and a deeper understanding of life’s continuity through family. But times have changed.Continue reading “Marriage or Mere Arrangement? A Reflection on Modern Unions”
If Life Is Already Destined in Hinduism, Then What Are You Even Praying For?
One of the quiet paradoxes in Hinduism is this: If everything in life is already destined—then what exactly are we praying for? After all, Hindu philosophy teaches that your present life is largely shaped by prarabdha karma—the portion of your past actions (karma) that have begun to bear fruit in this lifetime. These are said toContinue reading “If Life Is Already Destined in Hinduism, Then What Are You Even Praying For?”
What Do the Vedas Say About Men, Sex, and Sowing Seeds?
In today’s world, sex is either hyper-marketed or shamefully hidden behind curtains of taboo. But thousands of years ago, the sages of India had a much more nuanced and sacred understanding of sexuality—especially the role of men in the act of creation. In the Vedic worldview, sex wasn’t just physical—it was cosmic. Let’s explore what theContinue reading “What Do the Vedas Say About Men, Sex, and Sowing Seeds?”
Slavery, Rebranded
Once upon a time, before the world knew paper currency, people still worked. Not because they wanted to — but because they had to. Powerful men would recruit other humans, assign them tasks, fix their work hours, decide their rest days, and outline precisely what needed to be done. In return, they offered food, shelter,Continue reading “Slavery, Rebranded”
Celebrating Divorce: A Karmic Misunderstanding
In today’s digital age, I often come across something weird that unsettles me deeply — people celebrating their divorce on social media. There are cake-cutting videos, glamorous photo shoots, champagne toasts, and cheerful hashtags like #freedom, #newbeginnings, and even #divorcedandhappy. As a Vedic Astrologer who has spent over two decades studying human karma, relationships, andContinue reading “Celebrating Divorce: A Karmic Misunderstanding”
When Dharma Kills Through Adharma
Vaali was killed through adharma by Ram. Karna was killed through adharma by Krishna and Arjun. Duryodhan was killed through adharma by Bheem. And yet, all of them were killed for dharma. In the grand epics of India—Ramayana and Mahabharata—there’s a recurring theme that often unsettles anyone who reads with a moral compass: the righteous kill unrighteously. Ram,Continue reading “When Dharma Kills Through Adharma”
