Hakenkreuz is a German literary concoction, from one of the most hateful ideologies to exist in the fabric of human society. As one sits down to understand the origin of this symbolism, it translates to a “hooked cross”, or a cross with bent arms. However, one doesn’t need to

Imagine sitting down to order your favourite meal at your beloved restaurant. You take in the smells and the sounds, mouth watering while waiting for the arrival of your comfort food. And then, it finally arrives. Just taking in the aroma of the hot fare makes you feel better already.

The bhakta creates the god. When someone has a profound spiritual experience, they generate divine presence through the intensity of their devotion.

The recent Pahalgam terror attack hit like a punch to the gut—a cowardly slaughter of innocent Hindus, a macabre betrayal that spits in the face of justice and peace. Once again, we’re left broken, enraged, watching the same horrors unfold. This wasn’t just an attack; it was

They give us the destination first, then tell us which roads we're allowed to take. Dharmic systems liberate. They start with questions, allowing discovery to unfold organically without mandating where the
