How awesome to receive Sri Sri in Norway 🇳🇴!
I had a most amazing day yesterday going to the Norwegian parliament with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar .
Sri Sri shared his thoughts on loneliness and mental stress for a generation facing new challenges from social media and more.
Even at the the day of Norways great victory in football World Cup, so many turned out to welcome Sri Sri and to listen to him.
At a packed meeting in Gamle Logen he and I discussed peacemaking and the role of India in a new world order. We agreed that wars are irrational, they hardly ever achieve the stated purpose. Just look to the US - Iran war.
The need of our time is to look for compromises at all levels - in the family and the local community, in national affairs and between nations. A comprise is not something boring or weak, it’s the glue which keeps societies together. Compromise is the act of the strong and the wise!
40 years in shipping gave me one unusual qualification as a historian: I had no academic orthodoxies to protect.
When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I followed the sea lanes backwards into deep antiquity. Without exception, they converged on the Indian subcontinent. This was not the book I had intended to write.
I must give credit to my editor, who gave an unknown author with a controversial approach, an opportunity. His first attempts to find peer reviewers encountered significant resistance. The argument that India sat at the centre of ancient world trade, not its periphery, was considered, to put it gently, inconvenient.
What I found, and what I could not stop finding, is that placing India at the centre of world history does not simply revise one chapter. It cascades. Correct the starting assumption and you are forced to reconsider the origins of mathematics, medicine, philosophy, linguistics, religion. Each conclusion leads to another. I came to call these the collateral heresies.
My three books explain the architecture of how they connect.
If you work in a field where received wisdom is protected by institutional interest rather than evidence, you will recognise the pattern. The question is whether the evidence eventually wins.
If a million of us have this intention of “I stand up for peace,” we can make magic. When 1% of the population meditates, it elevates the collective consciousness. Similarly, if enough people say “I stand up for peace,” then we project that energy, that vision & it will happen!
During the 'Russia-India' panel on opening new frontiers in bilateral relations, emphasized the role of language studies, student exchanges, Ayurveda, and spiritual and medical tourism in further strengthening ties between the nations.

A simple check before ignition can save a precious life.

Had a warm and meaningful interaction with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji, founder of the Art of Living Foundation, in Bengaluru. Every moment spent in his presence was imbued with a deep sense of peace and positive energy.
During our interaction, we engaged in thoughtful discussions on the significance of service, the practice of spirituality, and the importance of maintaining balance in life. His humility, compassion, and steadfast commitment to the welfare of humanity are truly inspiring and leave a lasting impression.
