Life After Death

August 17, 2020

In almost every religion that ever existed or still in existence, the topic of Life After Death or the journey one makes to the other kingdom is full of fantasies. One reason for the same, according to my learnings, is because we fail to understand the metaphorical language that the messenger of God uses. Our failure in understanding fans the fantasies. From the fantasy's perspective, the idea of one soul getting enrolled in the kingdom of God> the soul is directed to heaven or hell as per the deeds on Earth may by now seem to be believable but it is all imaginary. Man-made. So I will not indulge in that. Rather, I would tell you a bit about my life after the passing of my beloved Appa. I was around the age of 10 when I lost him. He was a diabetic and a foodie, a deadly combination. It was January and cold in Delhi. He went there on an official tour by train and returned in a coffin. The last time I and Appa spoke was 2days before he took his last breath in my ...

Is this Satya Yuga?

July 20, 2020

During Lockdown, I came across many realizations, be it related to my social being, material and even spiritual. I started thinking in dimensions I never thought of before. Thoughts on the time and condition humanity are living presently in. I started to think of the Yugas. As I know of four Yugas: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. It is commonly said that we are presently living in Kali Yuga. After this, the Yuga cycle will restart from Satya Yuga. I read and thought of Satya Yuga and I came across a dimension which is pure.

I also realized that we tend to expect extra help from others and not extend help to someone who is in much worse condition then we are.

Five Elements of Indian Democracy

August 14, 2020

We have been taught from the very beginning that democracy in India has four pillars viz the Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and the Media. These four have a huge responsibility on their shoulders. My question is, are they doing justice with their job? The people of India have a choice of electing their political representatives. I agree, at least for judiciary we need educated people and so people cannot decide on who should be the next judge. Having said that, the fourth pillar is also somewhere losing its mind. Instead of being the information carriers, the media houses have now become the house of influencers. If people were given a choice to elect for media too, the situation would have been a bit different. Only the firm-minded would be allowed to report. Then I think the Godi and Non-Godi media show would have been managed differently. This situation is worsening with each passing day as there exist fewer genuine media persons and more the blackmailers. Beli...
