Unraveling the secrets of the cosmos, one breath at a time. Yoga. Hinduism. Entrepreneurship. Infra. Sport. Travel. Food. Indian seeker wandering in the West.

It was the blessing of my life to be part of CHORD as we had the honour of hosting the greatest contemporary #GlobalThoughtLeader, whose vision is shaping and giving direction to the entire world, President of the World’s largest voluntary organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) venerable Shri Mohan Bhagwat Ji in Toronto.

My deepest gratitude to Sangh for the opportunity and every Karyakarta who worked selflessly and with unwavering dedication to make this historic gathering possible.

Where the Pacific meets possibility! 🌉

Some bridges connect places.
Some become symbols of journeys, dreams and the courage to cross over.

Golden Gate, Golden moments!

My take on the evolution of the city of my birth.
What’s yours?

In the age of Artificial Intelligence these huge delays to ‘review’ is so silly.
Every delivery, every metric can be measured without even being asked and available instantly. Knick or not, wide or no ball, height of ball.
The drama of 3rd umpire isn’t just archaic it’s dreary. Please respect viewers time @IPL @BCCI @ICC #IPL

@Kuma50531Kumar 💯 + Bengaluru - Mangaluru.
Mangaluru- Hyderabad.
Karwar - Chennai.
Karwar - Nellore.

[Raghu Bengaluru 🇮🇳 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @captainraghu]

While this is most welcome, to unlock the true potential and kickstart an economic boom of Karnataka, Bullet Train (and expressways) to Pune and Mangaluru (Bengaluru is equidistant from Chennai and Mangalore) absolutely essential.

[Rajaneesh @vilakudy]

Interesting.

Mysore also has been added to the Bangalore -Chennai-Hyderabad bullet train project.

Looks like Mysore MP Yaduveer Wadiyar is pushing hard.

Bangalore to Hyderabad: 2 hours
Chennai to Bangalore: 73 minutes
Bangalore to Mysore: 30 minutes.

D-Day for Iran:
There’s huge oil in Iran, only Venezuela and Saudi have more. Not USA, Not Russia, Not Canada. that’s huge HUGE money!!
Humongous Natural Gas Reserves rivalled only by Russia and Qatar.
Plus the huge electric power plants used to mine Bitcoins. Did you know Iran is just behind USA and Russia globally in mining bitcoins? It’s a huge part of Iran’s economy.

The last 47 years, Regime has churned Iran’s resources and financed Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis etc (to Israel’s grouse) also Lashkar, Jaish and others thru the terror state Pakistan are beneficiaries. They’ve financed every evil on earth.

Common Iranians could live like kings and queens if they had good leaders and good governance with the abundant resources God has blessed them with.

If the current regime stays, next 47 years or forever rebuilding the same thing will continue. (That’s the regional headache for Iraq, UAE, Saudi, Bahrain, Kuwait. Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Afghanistan etc)

For USA, removing this regime and installing back Jr. Reza Pahlavi Shah will mean access to oil and power, current regime gives all the oil and gas to China dirt cheap. Russia and North Korea are other beneficiaries.

Papa Reza Shah Pahlavi was no saint either. Went WOKE and went broke. Country deteriorated. Regime took over.
(from India’s perspective.. he was the first one to recognize Pakistan first day (15 Aug) and first head of state to visit Pakistan and open Iranian embassy in August 1947 and was anti India at the U.N. re Kashmir etc)
Jr. Shah is now talking moderate currently but long way to go.
I’m surprised all news channels are missing this perspective.

Parsis are lovely and intellectual, have been very good to India and rest of the world wherever they’ve settled in including USA and Canada. The beautiful Iranian people deserve better, they must unite and change must come from within and homegrown leaders must be groomed.

[Raghu Bengaluru 🇮🇳 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @captainraghu]

Dear @realDonaldTrump there’s hearsay about negotiations with Iran through Pakistan. Let’s get real! Pakistan, a rogue state sponsoring terror since forever should be the last one to be involved in this. Please refrain if there’s even an iota of truth. Remember, you’re known by the friends you keep and you could surely do better here. #War #Iran #IranWar‌

A Red-Letter Day 🇨🇦🇮🇳

Today will forever remain one of the most memorable days of my life.

Years of tireless effort of numerous stalwarts, sustained diplomacy, principled dialogue and unwavering commitment have fructified into a remarkable turnaround in the relationship between two of the greatest nations on earth, Canada and Bharat.

This moment is not accidental. It is the result of extraordinary leadership, maturity and vision at the highest levels. Heartfelt gratitude to both Hon’ble Prime Ministers for steering this renewed chapter with vision and statesmanship. Deep appreciation as well to both Hon’ble Foreign Ministers, Hon’ble Trade Ministers and our esteemed High Commissioners whose relentless behind-the-scenes work made today possible.

Diplomacy is often subtle. Progress is usually invisible. But today, we witnessed what perseverance and wisdom can achieve. Almost the impossible!

As the day concludes, I offer gratitude to the universe for the harmony, for the partnership and for the promise of a stronger, brighter future between our beloved nations.

May this be the beginning of a new era of trust, collaboration and shared prosperity.

🙏🏼 🇨🇦🤝🇮🇳

Had the privilege of an engaging and forward-looking meeting with @DrJitendraSingh Ji, Hon’ble Union Minister of Science & Technology, Government of India, at the newly inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan.

His consistent support to S-VYASA University over the years has been instrumental in strengthening research, innovation, and the integration of science with India’s rich knowledge traditions. Grateful for his encouragement and vision for a progressive, research-driven India.

Gratitude to Dr. Rabindra Acharya Ji for nurturing and sustaining this meaningful relationship over the years.

Looking forward to taking research, innovation and integration to even greater heights. 🇮🇳 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 ✨

Thank you Prime Minister for your support. We truly appreciate it!

This means a lot for us IndoCanadians who are stressed about our families in India.
All forms and radicalization should be unequivocally condemned, isolated and dealt firmly.
It’s great to see all the right minded countries coming together in this global fight.

I was shocked to hear of the devastating car blast near the Red Fort in Delhi last evening. 

I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those who were killed in this horrific explosion, and wish a fast and full recovery to all who were injured. Canada stands with the people of Delhi and India during this time of mourning.

Honoured and Grateful 🙏

Back in 2023, Dr. H. R. Nagendra Guruji was chosen as the recipient of the Iconic Global Hindu Award for his unparalleled contribution to Yoga - the highest honor bestowed by the Canadian Hindu Chamber of Commerce (CHCC) at the annual Dhanteras Gala, a vibrant gathering of Canada’s leading Hindu entrepreneurs from coast to coast and overseas.

Due to diplomatic circumstances at the time, Guruji’s travel had to be deferred, and Guruji nominated me to receive the award on his behalf handed by @rechievaldez also gracing the event was @AnitaAnandMP

During his recent visit to Canada, it was heartwarming to see the @chcconline Board and leadership personally confer the award upon Guruji, recognizing his lifelong dedication to spreading the light of Yoga and holistic well-being across the world.

My sincere gratitude to the CHCC for this gesture of respect and support. 🌿

Yelahanka to Doddaballapur line needed. Yelahanka can be an important transit hub. Major educational institutions and link to KWIN city. High speed trains to Hyderabad / Delhi / Vijayawada can originate from Yelahanka. Suburban line link and Expressways to Pune / Mumbai, Hyderabad and Vijayawada in close proximity. Can take huge load off city limits. @ShobhaBJP @OfficialBMRCL @Tejasvi_Surya @PCMohanMP @Maheshbr4U @GBAChiefComm @ChristinMP_ @siddaramaiah @DKShivakumar @ever_pessimist @WF_Watcher @TheMetroRailGuy @AshwiniVaishnaw

Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (#BMRCL) has completed a feasibility study for a 68-km corridor linking Kalena Agrahara on Bannerghatta Road to Kadugodi Tree Park near Whitefield.

The line will run through Bannerghatta, Jigani, Attibele, Sarjapur, Dommasandra Circle and Varthur Kodi, serving major tech hubs in the city.
