Every experience of the past year, pleasant or unpleasant, has made you wiser, deeper, and stronger. Enter the New Year knowing you are fortunate, and that you are here to give back to society.
@venom1s In urban India, alcohol consumption is being pushed as the new ‘cool’, where often in the past it was looked down upon. why would we emulate this drinking culture and call it ‘progressive’? It’s regressive actually. !
A mother passed away with one wish... to see the daughter she raised with her own hands.
But even that last wish was denied.
Akhila… the girl who grew up in a Hindu home… who studied homeopathy… who was later trapped, converted and renamed "Hadiya" under the infamous Love Jihad case that shook Kerala in 2017.
Last night, her mother Ponnamma died of cardiac arrest.Her father, ex-Army man Ashokan sir, informed Hadiya… and she said she will come for the final rites.
They waited till noon. No sign. When the heartbroken father called again, a man picked up the phone:
“Hadiya will not come.”
Today, she is living with her second husband. The very man who converted her and dragged her out of her home, already abandoned her and left her alone.
This is the cruel reality: Love Jihad victims are not treated as partners… They are treated as slaves.. weapons... tools for jihad, nothing more.
That’s it. A mother who carried her for nine months… who fed her… who protected her… was not even granted a final farewell.
What kind of religious cage stops a daughter from seeing her own mother for the last time? What kind of ideology becomes bigger than a parent’s tears?
My deepest condolences to Ashokan sir, A man who served this nation, but lost the battle inside his own home.May Bhagavan give him strength during this unbearable grief.
To those still chasing the “other side” of the fence…
Remember it starts with sweet promises, but ends with chains. Akkara pachha… is not always pachha.
The #BhagavadGita is not a book;it is a conversation that awakens consciousness🪷As @Gurudev says, in this uncertain world, the Gita guides us from confusion🤷♂️ to clarity🎯,from weakness😪 to strength💪
May this #GitaJayanti awaken in us:
Jnana🪔,Karma⚖️,Dhyana🧘♂️,
and Bhakti🧡
I’ve long spoken of the need to bring Ayurveda into education.
It’s heartening that NCERT has now added Ayurveda chapters in Classes 6-8 science!
An important step toward holistic health and harmony with nature.
