Shri Samarth Ramdas wrote about procrastination, focus and power of good habits 350 years ago. Modern psychology is now saying the same things.
In my new Substack essay, I quote five ovis from the Dasbodh and their relevance to modern life. Do read, and if it resonates with you, do share and subscribe.

Farmers from Punjab and Chhattisgarh, trained by the Art of Living in natural farming and permaculture, have cultivated and curated indigenous seeds and over 100 varieties of rice. They are preserving not just biodiversity, but the very health and sustainability of our soil.
Gita 3.27: prakriteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvashah.
All activity, including mental activity, is done by the gunas of prakriti.
Only the ahankara claims “I am the thinker.”
Sanatan Dharma answered this before psychology existed.
You are the sakshi. Thoughts are vrittis in the chitta, not your creation.
न वासुदेवभक्तानामशुभं विद्यते क्वचित् । जन्ममृत्युजराव्याधिभयं नैवोपजायते ॥
For those devoted to Vasudeva, nothing inauspicious ever occurs. The fear of birth, death, old age and disease never arises in them.-Vishnu Sahasranaman

This is actually a brilliant initiative by @Somnath_Temple
During Shravan Month , Hindus get the opportunity to book bilwa Pooja at temple
Best is, it’s just for ₹25/- and in prasad, you get Rudraksh, bhasma and Bel patra, which is couriered to you… each booked Pooja gets the prasad (the prasad n courier costing itself would b more than 25, but this initiative of mandir helps people to join for the Pooja)
Book it before 13 August 2026, at https://t.co/0W91o4syTK … bottom left has link for special Pooja … click for bilwa Pooja (this time they hv maha mrityunjay Pooja to at just ₹51/- but that’s not online)
I m booking for last few years, for self, family and friends… it feels so nice
You also should too

@Dev_Fadnavis@mieknathshinde@SunetraA_Pawar@dadajibhuse This clearly isn’t just a peak hour traffic issue. With the deadline approaching, how are candidates supposed to complete preference marking?
What a system! Pls resolve the technical issues immediately & extend the deadline so candidates are not penalised for portal failures.

Encouraging to see 120+ social and spiritual organizations brought together by Hon. Prime Minister @narendramodi for the Drug-Free India campaign. It would be wonderful to document the pedagogy, protocols, and success stories of each organization so the most effective models can be shared and scaled nationwide.
Here are some of the highlights of the Art of Living’s contribution to the Drug-Free India campaign.

@daarshik108 Namaste! 🙏
Can we place this frame above the main entrance, on the top of the door frame (threshold)?
My house entrance is east-facing. I would appreciate your guidance.
Also, we already have a frame of Ganpati Ji placed above the main door on the inside of the house.
Relationships begin the moment you are born. If there is one presence that nurtures every relationship and transcends them all, it is the Guru. The moment you recognize that you have a Guru, you can never feel orphaned or lonely. Happy Guru Purnima.
VEDAS CARRY ON THE WISDOM OF AN OLDER MORE SPIRITUAL AND COSMIC HUMANITY.
VEDAS were not created at any point in history. VEDAS, Particularly RIG VEDA were compilations of the wisdom of earlier YUGAS (World Ages) when a higher Consciousness guided humanity from within and from the Earth and the Sun.
The VEDIC SEVEN RISHIS represent the Sevenfold powers and vision of YOGA that guides us to the unity of Self (Atman) and Universe (Brahman).
श्री विठ्ठलाची मूर्ती स्वयंभू असून देवाला श्री विष्णूचा अवतार मानला जातो. यामुळे पंढरीतील मूर्तीवर या सर्व खुणा व चिन्हं आहेत. केवळ महापूजा करताना ही चिन्हं भाविकांना दाखविली जातात. #Ashadhiwari2026
Under the guise of students, anti-national elements, foreign-funded groups and the so-called “deep state” seem to be working very well to destabilise everything in India.
Stone-pelting, abusing Bhagwan Shri Ram and abusing the Indian Army is now being called a “protest”? It’s nothing but stupidity.
Keep trying your luck. India is not Nepal or Bangladesh. Nothing like that is going to happen here. 👌
And yes, the government must take accountability for everything that went wrong with the students, the alleged “chanda chori” issue in the Ram Mandir matter in Ayodhya and the stupid ethanol-blending policy.
The government must answer for its mistakes too.

As Kaliyuga progresses, you will notice something strange. The old world of ghosts, wandering spirits, and haunted places is quietly disappearing.
Our elders had endless stories of ghostly encounters. Ours have fewer. Our children will have almost none. This is not because such beings are vanishing from existence. It is because they are finding human bodies now.
Kaliyuga opens a door that the earlier yugas kept closed. Wandering souls, restless spirits, even beings from lower realms, all of them are managing to slip into human wombs during this age. And this is not entirely a curse. Taking a human body is a chance to liberate, to walk the path of bhakti, to break out of the loop they were trapped in for ages.
But there is a cost, and we are all living inside it.
This is exactly why humanity today feels so strange. Almost no one is pure inside out anymore. Everyone carries a dual, separable nature. A light face and a dark face, running side by side in the same person. You meet someone kind in the morning and cruel in the evening. Sincere in one moment, calculating in the next. Devoted at the temple, ruthless at the office.
The most evil people walking around us today were not always here. They have entered through this open door.
Observe your surroundings with this lens. It explains a lot about why the world feels the way it feels.
