@ONEintheUK/@interfaith_scotland YA | @edinburghuniversity 🩺 | Proud Hindu 🕉 | Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu | Truth is one, the wise call it by many names.
Extremely grateful to @ScotHinduFdn for the honour! Did nothing more than what I felt was my duty. Very proud to belong to a generation of young Hindus committed to celebrating our culture. Always thankful to engage with @InterfaithScot and look forward to building on this. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
To the one who protected Draupadi’s honour,
Who ensured the Pandavas received their rightful share,
Who provided us the Gita &
Whose cosmic dance is adored by even the Lord of Chidambaram.
Oh Krishna! We welcome you into into our homes. When you are here, why should we fear? 🥹
To the one who has captured my mind:
Who crawls as an infant in Guruvayur,
Who benevolently rules over Dwaraka,
Who bestows his Grace in Tirupathi whilst listening to his devotees in Srirangam…

A day of gratitude.
Centuries of sacrifice.
Fulfilment of generations of unwavering devotion.
One of the greatest moments in Hindu history.
He has come home 🛕
You can see here a brick sent by British Hindus in the 1990s. To all those who never gave up, thank you 🙏🧡

Blessed to have visited the ancient shrine of Ragnya Devi in Kashmir this summer 🙏🕉️
Also known as Kheer Bhavani, for the offerings of Kheer and milk in her pond.
Nestled in the valleys of Wales is a really special place for the British Hindu community.
Skanda Vale is no less than a pilgrimage spot for us in these British Isles.
This year marks its 50th anniversary, and the area reverberates with spiritual energy all these decades on.
99% of humanity breathes air laced with soot, sulphur & other toxic chemicals.
Low- and middle-income countries suffer the highest exposures.
Our air is a common good. Let’s clean it up, protect our health & leave a healthy planet for generations to come.

When Chandrayaan 2 partially failed, there was no uproar in India, as to why a poor country is spending so much on risky space missions. In fact, everyone's heart went out for K. Sivan and Team ISRO, hoping they would succeed the next time. This is not normal in many parts of the world. This is not normal in a poor country.
Even countries far richer than India have made tradeoffs when it comes to funding for their space agencies. It would have been easier sell that idea in a poor country, at many times across decades. Especially when India was much poorer than it is today. But we didn't even consider it. ISRO has been at it consistently, with modest resources and big dreams.
Thousands (especially children) gathered once again, to cheer for ISRO at the launch of #Chandrayaan3. People shared the visuals with pride on WhatsApp groups, even if they fully didn't understand the nitty-gritties of the mission. Religious groups are doing poojas and hawans for the success of the Vikram Lander. Again, this spirit - to cheer for science, has faded away in many parts of the world among the common public.
India must never lose that spirit of wanting to test the boundaries of scientific advancement. It has thrived in India since ancient times, it is thriving today, and may it thrive for centuries to come.
Happy #YouthDay! 🎉
Young change-makers are taking #ClimateAction, helping achieve a more sustainable future for all.
