The Gregorian calendar is a hodgepodge, a numerical convenience that completely ignores the impact of the cosmos on the human system. The mystics of the past who devised the Hindu calendars recognized that the human mechanism is not an isolated bubble but a reflection of the larger cosmos, and how one can align themselves to the cosmic geometry for their wellbeing.

Prayer means you are trying to tell God what to do. Meditation means you understand what a ridiculous idea it is to tell the basis of creation what to do. So you simply become silent. If you become silent on all levels, everything that needs to happen to you will happen. -Sg

A welcome change. Should lead to better understanding and wider acceptance of tree-based farming. For every acre of agricultural land, there must be at least two bovine animals. When soil is enriched with tree litter and animal waste, it will decrease dependence on chemical-based fertilizers, reduce input cost and enhance crop health & farmer income. -Sg

A temple is not just a structure of stone and mortar but an outpouring of devotion. A paid government official cannot run it - it takes the heart of a devotee. Encouraging to see the Government’s statement. Must translate into action. -Sg

An experiment at one of India’s most elite engineering colleges changed how scientists look at the Bhagavad Gita.

There is a college in India called BITS Pilani where getting admitted is harder than getting into most Ivy League schools. The students there are trained to think in equations and evidence.

Between 2012 and 2019, over 2,000 of them signed up for an elective course on the Bhagavad Gita. Nobody forced them. Nobody had to. The results were so consistent that it became a peer-reviewed study published on PubMed Central, the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

300 of those students voluntarily wrote about what changed. Clarity of thought. A shift in attitude. Better ability to handle pressure. Sharper decision-making. These are not the kind of things you expect a 5,000 year old text to deliver to engineering students. But that is exactly what happened. Across twelve batches. Over seven years. The same result showing up again and again.

Here is what makes it interesting. These students are trained to be skeptical. They do not take things at face value. Yet batch after batch reported the same thing. An inner calm that helped them stay focused. A framework for thinking that nothing else in their curriculum had offered. When skeptics arrive at the same conclusion independently over seven years, that is not anecdote. That is a pattern.

Most people think the Bhagavad Gita is a religious text. It is not. It is a conversation between a man who is paralyzed by anxiety and someone who teaches him how to think clearly anyway. Krishna does not tell Arjuna what to believe. He teaches him how to act when everything feels impossible. That distinction matters. It is the difference between a prayer book and an operating manual.

There is a concept in the Gita called Nishkama Karma. It means doing your work without being consumed by what happens next. That sounds like philosophy until you realize that modern Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is trying to teach people the exact same thing. Detach from outcomes. Focus on process. Manage your response to what you cannot control. The Gita had this figured out a few thousand years before therapists started charging for it.

During COVID, researchers ran a clinical trial on healthcare workers. Frontline doctors and nurses drowning in stress. One group learned Bhagavad Gita teachings. The control group did not. The Gita group showed statistically significant reductions in anxiety. And here is the part that stopped me. The effects were still holding strong 45 days after the intervention ended. Most stress management techniques fade within a week. This one stuck.

The Bhagavad Gita was written on a battlefield for a man standing in the worst moment of his life. It was not written for temples or retirement. It was written for the moments when your mind is falling apart and you need something that actually works. 2,000 of India’s sharpest minds found that it did. The only real question is why most people will still never open it.

Only recently has medical science accepted that we have a ‘Gut Brain’ where intuitively ‘Gut Intuition’ was a phrase always used.

So when we speak about Artificial Intelligence or AI .. we assume that all ‘Intelligence’ lies in the brain.

Really ?

Apparently there is more research that their is intuition that comes from the heart .. the Vagus nerve apparently sends more messages from the heart to the brain, than the brain to the heart ..

So when you fall in love and your heart beats faster, is the brain telling the heart it’s in love .. or the heart telling the brain of the existence of love ?

Of course there are those that say that love is just a chemical response .. and I am just being emotional .. or poetic .. but where does emotion or poetry come from?

And to those sceptics I ask that ..

science tells us that almost 80% of our cells are our Microbiome, other that viruses and and bacteria .. so what part of our cell make up is human in that case ? Our Microbiome? Does intelligence lie in our Microbiome?

So in all the controversies around Artificial ‘Intelligence’ overpowering Human ‘Intelligence’ should we not try and understand what Human Intelligence really is ? And if there is a locality where it resides or arises , what is that locality ?

Legend says, “Kashi is on Shiva’s Trishul, not on the ground.” In my experience, the energy structure of Kashi is about 33 feet above the ground, and it could extend up to 7200 feet. This is why they called Kashi a "Tower of Light" – it gave you access to what is beyond. The idea was to create a mechanism where every individual can reach the highest human possibility if they strive. #SadhguruWisdom

India is so far behind China not because of Indic / Hindu culture — for this same civilization was at the apex of the world economy for 18 of the past 20 centuries — but because the neoliberal virus infected the Indian worldview that mocked at any argument for strategic planning, industrial policies and the like.

Indians were told to quietly accept a place in globalization and dare not attempt moving up the ladder. Comprehensive national power and development cannot occur and is an ideological threat to neoliberal ideas who main aim is to freeze a playing field tilted entirely in favor of western capital and technology. Indian policymakers of all hues and businesses even prided themselves for strictly adhering to this uneven development process. This is even more ironic because of the first hand colonial experience that had relegated India to the bottom of the ladder.

China was told an identical story but its leadership initially modified and then actively defied the neoliberal ideology by globalizing and yet simultaneously modernizing and strengthening at home. This is why China is not stuck at simply assembling iPhones or Japanese automobiles or conducting e-commerce on Amazon or exporting its finest minds to the West and India largely is.
