Hindu Philosophy vs. Political Hinduism

The RSS and BJP are on a mission: to turn Hinduism into something it never was—a religion that mimics Islam and Christianity. They want commandments, prohibitions, and uniformity. Unfortunately for them, Hinduism is not a religion of rules. It is a philosophy, a way of living that thrived precisely because it refused to be boxedContinue reading “Hindu Philosophy vs. Political Hinduism”

From Toys to Truth: The Stages of Spiritual Growth

A child begins life by playing with toys. This is natural, even necessary. Toys help the child learn motor skills, imagination, and social behavior. But if the same child continues to play with toys forever, refusing to outgrow them, we would recognize it as a problem. Childhood is meant to mature into adulthood, and toysContinue reading “From Toys to Truth: The Stages of Spiritual Growth”

Karma in the Modern World: When Hatred Comes Full Circle

In Hindu philosophy, karma is the law of cause and effect—what you sow, you eventually reap. In today’s globalized world, this law doesn’t need divine intervention; it works through politics, economics, and international relations. Take India’s current climate. In recent years, Hindu–Muslim hostility has been normalized through speeches, laws, and daily rhetoric. The assumption isContinue reading “Karma in the Modern World: When Hatred Comes Full Circle”

The Myth of India’s Obsession with Astrology

We keep hearing it: “90% of Indians believe in astrology.” It’s a convenient stereotype repeated so often that people take it as truth. But after practicing astrology professionally for over two decades, let me tell you something that might shock you—90% of Indians don’t believe in astrology. Yes, you read that right. Only about 10% truly believeContinue reading “The Myth of India’s Obsession with Astrology”

Why Does an Indian Work Harder Abroad Than at Home?

An Indian who lands in a foreign nation suddenly transforms. He becomes faster, sharper, more disciplined, and strangely—more honest. The same man who would have casually bribed a traffic cop in India stands in line abroad without breaking a single rule. Why is this? Did his DNA change on the flight? No. The difference isContinue reading “Why Does an Indian Work Harder Abroad Than at Home?”

Why I Eat Meat

God created the world—animals, humans, and all the food they would need to survive. Yet, no God has ever descended to dictate what anyone should eat. No divine whisper has ever promised heaven for one kind of diet and damnation for another. For animals, God gave instinct. He blessed lions with the desire for meatContinue reading “Why I Eat Meat”

From Summer Habit to Global Freedom: A European Export

For nine long months, Europeans live wrapped up in wool and fur, layered like onions to survive their unforgiving winters. Hats, gloves, scarves—the full armor. Then, for a brief three-month summer when the temperature hesitates around 19 or 20 degrees, the same people shed it all and bare their skin to the sun. Perfectly natural—theyContinue reading “From Summer Habit to Global Freedom: A European Export”

Beard, Permission, and Masculinity

A lot of Indian men walk up to me and compliment my long beard. But then comes the inevitable line: “Lucky you, people at your home don’t mind.” And here’s the punchline—most of these men are in their 30s! Thirty years old, with jobs, salaries, cars, maybe even children—yet trembling because “people at home” won’t allowContinue reading “Beard, Permission, and Masculinity”

Brahmins Want Everyone to Be Hindus, But Not Brahmins

For a long time, I carried this thought in my mind: “Brahmins want everyone to be Hindus, but not Brahmins.” At first, I assumed it was my own original observation—a fresh way of putting the contradictions of caste and religion into words. But then I stumbled upon the writings and speeches of Periyar, and I realized: heContinue reading “Brahmins Want Everyone to Be Hindus, But Not Brahmins”
