A small clip from the homa/havan workshop on May 1 at Washington DC.

Best wishes for Sayana Ekadasi/Tholi Ekadasi/Ashadhi Ekadasi! It's a great day for fasting or worshiping Vishnu. Consider Satya Narayana pooja or Homa to Vishnu/Krishna/Venkateswara/Satya Narayana on Saturday/Sunday, while Ekadasi is active. Ekadasi is from 6:59 pm IST…

These 2 fantastic RigVeda verses juxtapose & blend duality & non-duality so brilliantly, to lay out how Aatman is one but also a fractal hierarchy! Far more nuanced than "all is Self & any division/duality is a delusion". RigVeda 1.10.1-2, Rishi: Vishwamitra, Devata: Indra…

Amusing harbinger of coming times! Here @Grok dismissed Oak's 5561BCE Mahabharata date & his main point. An Oak supporter tried to argue with Grok, but had to finally concede "im no expert" & asked Oak to jump in. Oak's reply? "You did great" to that supporter (i.e. had no…

It wasn't "God", but a Goddess. Ramanujan said Goddess Namagiri appeared in his dreams and revealed complex formulas. In Hinduism, there are many Gods and Goddesses controlling mastery over different things. Many have seen or interacted with them in dreams or sometimes in…

[An FB post from 2019 that saw renewed activity recently] A Nice Durga Homa That Almost Did Not Happen! I re-connected with a close friend from junior college in 2016. He and his wife were spiritually inclined and saw a lot of spiritual discourses. Stuck in a state of…

Whether in "Ghora" Kali Yuga or in Satya Yuga, standing up for Satya & Dharma was/is never easy (whether for an individual or a group or a nation). It always seems till the end that Asatya & Adharma are winning & those fighting for Satya & Dharma are losing! It is in fact that…

Sir, I've left you alone for many weeks, but you chose to reply to an old June 4 comment with a personal attack. 😃😥 (1) My main goal was to unequivocally tell people who respect MY intellectual judgment what I think of your & @mmpandit dating of Mahabharata. I'm not…

Why are so many within & outside India suddenly criticizing Modi ji's foreign visits at the same time? It's as if someone activated them! This is dumb critique though - Namibia is a large exporter of Uranium & Lithium. Namibia also mines diamonds & several minerals. Moreover,…

My film ‘The Goa Inquisition’ will premiere on Narasimha’s (@homam108 ) channel in a few hours! 👇🏻 youtu.be/SiXcxWi-4dk?si…

Best wishes for Guru Pournima! Today let me share the story of how I found my spiritual guru. It not only makes for a beautiful reading with its vivid & heartfelt narrative, but also embeds several subtle points on Guru Tattva & spiritual sadhana. Link: vedicastrologer.org/blog/myguru.htm

Imagine how gross it'll be if one stops brushing teeth daily (while eating/drinking as usual)! Our esophagus, GI tract & colon get equally gross, as undigested/ill-digested stuff accumulates over time, rots & becomes toxic (modern lifestyles/habits make it worse). They need to…

Swami Vivekananda left his physical body on this day 123 years ago, at just 39. His last conversation with his sishyas that evening was about Veda. He noted that there were many commentaries on Veda, but none was deep enough or captured the essence. He encouraged his sishyas to…

Zohran Mamdani faced racist attacks for eating rice with with hands & this sucked a lot of social media oxygen. I am quite sure this didn't happen spontaneously & was a planned stunt. Mamdani's birthdata is available (apparently came from his mother Mira Nair). Based on the…

Spiritual Progress and Siddhis: A Cricket Analogy Let us compare spiritual sadhana to a cricket batsman's innings. Siddhis and special abilities are like hitting a lot of sixers. Wise and detached actions are like clean, safe and patient shots. A good batsman keeps playing…
