Celebrating Love, spring and the lessons of Shiva and Parvati
Maha Shivaratri shall be celebrated on Feb 15th this year. That’s just a day after Valentine’s Day. Do celebrate Maha Shivaratri with the same fervour, if not more.

The Tri-colour Beckons
The freedom fighters are no more. Those witness to that era, are also almost gone now. What has been begotten by much struggle, needs to be cherished and protected. The shoulders of the youth are strong but they need to be channelled in the right direction. Patriotism has to be invoked!
Holy Makar Sankranti
The sun does not need water or anything for that matter. But when we pour water, positioning the pot high up, the Sun’s rays fall on us through the stream of falling water and that is very beneficial for our eyes, bones and chakras too.
Lohri: From bonfires to belief
On Lohri day my father would peel peanuts for us and feed us, as we sat around a bonfire ... My mother would make popcorn and Gaajar ka halwa! In the present day, youngsters have gotten used to snacks like pizza, fries, nachos, chips ‘n’ dips etc.
Upskilled for Life
... education today is just a process of filling the mind with the contents of books, emptying the contents in the examination hall and returning empty-headed. But true education consists in the cultivation of the heart.
Uniting India through Love
When people congregate with Prema-bhava or Bhakti-bhava, it is love that flows and overflows. And when human love overflows for divinity, divine love too flows. Just as the devotee is in search of God, God too is in search of a true devotee.
What’s inside?
If we’re full of ego, anger, etc. that’s what spills out. Character cannot be enacted. It is a part of our persona.
