The Forgotten Limbs of Yoga: Yama and Niyama Before the Mat

In today’s yoga studios and Instagram reels, yoga has become synonymous with stretchable pants, flexible bodies, and gravity-defying asanas. Yet, for anyone who has even skimmed through Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, this modern interpretation is a mere fragment — a tip of the iceberg. The truth is simple, even if inconvenient: Asana is only the third limb in Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga — theContinue reading “The Forgotten Limbs of Yoga: Yama and Niyama Before the Mat”

Aamir Khan, Bangkok, and the Hypocrisy Olympics

Publicly humiliating someone has always been a favourite pastime of the petty. It’s an age-old sport played by people with empty lives and loud opinions. And right now, India’s national issue seems to be Aamir Khan—60 years old, successful, intelligent—having a partner half his age. That’s the crisis. Not unemployment. Not inflation. Not the stateContinue reading “Aamir Khan, Bangkok, and the Hypocrisy Olympics”

Tailored for the Dimwits: The Genius of BJP/RSS Messaging

I’ll admit it. There’s a part of me that genuinely admires the think tanks behind the BJP-RSS communication strategy. Not because I agree with them — far from it. But because what they’ve built is a masterclass in manipulation, storytelling, and psychological engineering. Their speeches, slogans, and campaigns are not crafted for the discerning orContinue reading “Tailored for the Dimwits: The Genius of BJP/RSS Messaging”

Not Your Stereotypical Astrologer

The stereotype goes something like this: An astrologer must wear a giant rudraksha mala. There should be holy ash or a thick smear of chandan on the forehead. Their wardrobe must consist of nothing beyond saffron robes or kurta-pyjamas. They should be strict vegetarians, swear off alcohol, sit before a grand altar filled with HinduContinue reading “Not Your Stereotypical Astrologer”

I Am a Tamil – Not a Hindu

Never Ignore the Signs

When humans go up the ladder, there are signs. When humans go down the ladder, there are signs. Never ignore the signs. Success doesn’t arrive unannounced. Nor does downfall. The universe speaks in subtle languages — patterns, behaviors, energy shifts, sudden silences, or unexpected applause. Every rise and every fall is preceded by signs thatContinue reading “Never Ignore the Signs”

What If Tamil Culture Is Older Than the Hindu Culture BJP/RSS Are Projecting?

And the BJP/RSS are afraid now. Afraid — not of elections, not of coalitions, not even of dissent. But of something far more threatening to their ideological core: History. What if Tamil culture is older than the Hindu culture they are so keen to project today? What if the foundation of their “ancient civilization” narrative starts to crackContinue reading “What If Tamil Culture Is Older Than the Hindu Culture BJP/RSS Are Projecting?”

Every Time You Send a Missile Towards a Child, You Are Creating an Enemy for the Future

There is something irreversibly broken about a world where a child sleeps to the lullaby of sirens, wakes to the sound of explosions, and learns to spell “war” before they spell “peace.” Every time a missile tears through a school, a hospital, a playground, or a home — it does more than end lives. ItContinue reading “Every Time You Send a Missile Towards a Child, You Are Creating an Enemy for the Future”

Hinduism vs Brahminism: The Eternal Tension

There has always been a difference between Hinduism and Brahminism. Hinduism, at its core, was inclusive. Brahminism, on the other hand, was fundamentally exclusive. Hinduism is not a book-based religion. It is a civilizational flow — absorbing, evolving, and adapting across millennia. It welcomed atheists, polytheists, monotheists, and mystics alike. It embraced contradictions — one couldContinue reading “Hinduism vs Brahminism: The Eternal Tension”
