A perspective on Ritual offering as a metaphor for Sadhakas life.

Why do bad ideas spread faster than good ones?

Through the lenses of viveka, Ariṣaḍvarga, and artificial intelligence, this essay by Sh. @Roddam_Ram ji reflects on persuasion, temptation, and the growing challenge of preserving human volition.

Core paradox of our times , it seems, is that we seem to know & talk so much about experiences that we have never experienced.

The word "dehati" is often hurled at rural folks, but it is essentially a phenomenon & state of unruly mind which can manifest in all demographic strata when right conditions to trigger emerge. Swatch X launch on May 16th is great example.

Vyasa stands for power of intuition with Ganesha as his scribe , creative power with Mahabharata as unsurpassable feat and power of organization of knowledge with compilation of Puranas. Ambassador of Dharma all along.

A Dhārmika way of 'seeing' begins with viveka — the ability to recognize clearly what harms consciousness, society, and the self.

Then, understand its nature and diagnose it. And finally, build the strength and wisdom to protect yourself from it, explains Sh. @Roddam_Ram ji.

What if the defining crisis of our age is not only what is happening in the world, but our diminishing capacity to make meaning of it?

The polycrisis is illuminated through the metaphor of poison: if not arrested in time, it enters the system and becomes irreversible.

Through the symbolism of Kālakūṭa and Lord Śiva, Sh. @Roddam_Ram ji invites us to contemplate urgency, discernment, and the pathways to healing, balance, and well-being.

[Bṛhat | बृहत् | Brhat @brhat_in]

We’re most vulnerable when we’re only half-aware.
Like Abhimanyu knowing how to enter the chakravyuha but not how to exit, we often absorb information without fully understanding its impact.

In these in-between states of awareness, both good and bad can enter unnoticed and powerfully shape us.

Never there have been such drug-centric discussion about well being.

American mainstream culture has fully normalised these discussions.

Aim should be to shift focus on lifestyle modifications & leveraging cultural knowledge on traditional healing methods

[Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ @Anviksiki]

Food, Mental Health, Education, Social systems, Ecology, Sacred.

Economy and Well being are divergent by design across all dimensions of life.

Economic realists and Well being luddites.

We call it progress.

Is today’s ‘polycrisis’ actually a deeper crisis of meaning?

This Bodha conversation encapsulates the phenomenon of global meta-crisis and provides perspectives illuminated by Dharmic thinking.

Sri Ramachandra Roddam (@Roddam_Ram) and Sri Raghava Krishna (@Anviksiki) explore the need for an alternative articulation of universal challenges to bring in a sense of urgency to respond and build a pathway towards healing, well-being and balance.

New writing up on Brhat blog.

“Every Indian spiritual stream engages with the central idea of Puruṣārtha. Through ritual action, life’s four aims gain meaning, purpose, and protection from corrupting forces." - Shri @Roddam_Ram ji captures why our civilization endures.

Praxis has more answers and more influence than analysis.

[Ramachandra Roddam @Roddam_Ram]

Good comprehensive view.

[Bṛhat | बृहत् | Brhat @brhat_in]

In Sanskrit poetry, the woman in love is not a warning or a case study but a rasa—an emotion to be savored. From Āṇḍāl’s songs to temple sculpture and cinema, the nāyikā embodies a civilizational grammar of longing, writes Dr. @Anuraag_Shukla.

Providing insights for complex issues should not be a solo endeavour only.

Having robust friendships and conversations amongst intellectual circles is essential to build overall robustness of one's stand point.

This is loosely referred to as intellectual eco system.

Beauty of Konark is staggering and engineering wise - a marvel. Testimony to resilience of vision.
