Let us start with a single question: what do we consider to be a state of wellbeing?
If your body feels pleasant, we call this health. If it is very pleasant, we call this pleasure.
If your mind becomes pleasant, we call this peace. If it is very pleasant, we call this joy.

“The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.”
— Ramana Maharshi.
Prayer means you are trying to tell God what to do. Meditation means you understand what a ridiculous idea it is to tell the basis of creation what to do. So you simply become silent. If you become silent on all levels, everything that needs to happen to you will happen. -Sg
When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the supreme state will come to you uninvited and unexpected.
Nisargadatta Maharaj
The cause of suffering and true freedom
Mind's judgement in thoughts and words is the cause of negativity.
Realise - Mind is not you. Thoughts are not you.
You are the observer of thoughts. You are not the thoughts that come and go.
As you keep practicing being an observer of the mind - you are free of pain and suffering.
Try it now, the mind might say for a situation - "it should not happen the way it is."
Observe this exact thought.
It's just an opinion of the mind. A thought.
When you are able to observe it, a gap is created between the thought and who you are (awareness).
Awareness is I AM and not I am this or that.
Whenever you attach yourself to thoughts or ideas, you suffer.
However with observing practice we are able to recognise our real nature is awareness and not the mind, thoughts - here, we are free.
The cause of suffering is identification with thoughts. The way out is observing thoughts in this moment.
Let thoughts come and go. You are the witness of all thoughts. Know this and abide in joy of awareness.
"Awakening is a shift from identifying yourself as this body to knowing yourself as Presence. Freedom means a true independence from the past, where our ability to Be Here and the action in the moment are not guided by our attachment to the arising past. To truly be Free we need to embody our recognition of Presence, and that requires growing of the capacity of our nervous system to Be Here. It is in the meeting of what arises that we find true and lasting freedom." - Neelam

🥛🔥 Why Ayurveda Recommends BUTTERMILK — Not Curd (Especially for Insulin Resistance)
Curd blocks.
Buttermilk heals.
This is not modern nutrition — this is classical Ayurveda.
🌿 Ayurvedic Identity of Buttermilk (Takra)
Takra is described as:
✅ Deepana – ignites digestive fire
✅ Pachana – digests Ama (metabolic toxins)
✅ Laghu – light on digestion
✅ Grahi – absorbs excess Kapha & Meda
✅ Srotoshodhana – cleans blocked channels
📜 “Takram Shreshtam Grahini Roge”
👉 Buttermilk is the best medicine for metabolic & gut disorders.
🔥 How Buttermilk Improves Insulin Sensitivity (Step by Step)
1️⃣ Rekindles Agni (Digestive Fire)
Weak Agni is the root cause of insulin resistance.
Takra:
Improves carbohydrate metabolism
Prevents sudden glucose spikes
Ensures proper tissue nourishment (Dhatu poshana)
➡️ Insulin works better when Agni is strong.
2️⃣ Removes Ama (Metabolic Inflammation)
Insulin resistance is a chronic inflammatory state.
Takra:
Digests sticky Ama
Reduces low-grade inflammation
Clears metabolic toxins from liver & gut
➡️ Cells regain insulin responsiveness.
3️⃣ Clears Blocked Srotas (Insulin Pathways)
Ayurveda explains insulin resistance as Srotorodha.
Takra:
Opens micro-channels
Improves glucose transport into cells
Reduces Kapha accumulation in tissues
➡️ Sugar enters cells instead of floating in blood.
4️⃣ Reduces Kapha & Meda (Fat Tissue)
Excess fat = poor insulin sensitivity.
Takra:
Scrapes excess Meda (Lekhana effect)
Prevents belly fat deposition
Supports healthy weight loss
➡️ Leaner tissues respond better to insulin.
5️⃣ Balances Gut Microbiome (Ayurvedic View)
Healthy gut = healthy metabolism.
Takra:
Strengthens Grahani (small intestine function)
Prevents bloating, gas & loose motions
Improves nutrient absorption without heaviness
➡️ Stable sugars, stable energy.
6️⃣ Prevents Post-Meal Sugar Crash
Unlike curd, buttermilk:
Does NOT cause heaviness or lethargy
Prevents post-lunch sleepiness
Supports sustained energy release
➡️ Key sign of improved insulin function.
🕰 Best Way to Take Buttermilk (Ayurvedic Rule)
✔ After lunch (ideal time)
✔ Freshly churned, diluted
✔ Add:
Ginger (Agni)
Roasted cumin (gas & sugar control)
Curry leaves (metabolic balance)
Rock salt (electrolyte balance)
❌ Avoid at night
❌ Avoid with rice-heavy meals in Kapha prakriti
🧠 Golden Ayurvedic Truth
Insulin resistance is not a sugar problem.
It is an Agni & Ama problem.
And Takra is Agni’s best friend.
✨ If curd worsens your bloating, weight or sugars
✨ If you have PCOD, diabetes, thyroid or fatty liver
✨ If your gut is irregular despite “healthy food”
👉 Switch to Ayurvedic buttermilk therapy.
📞 Consult for personalized Takra Kalpana
🌿 Heal insulin resistance at the root — not symptom by symptom.

HUGE News from Madras High Court!!
ALL CIVIL WORKS/Constructions/Renovations in Heritage Temples and impinging upon Heritage Temples across Tamil Nadu stayed.
In my Writ Petition challenging construction of Shopping Complex right in front of the ancient Sri ArunachaleswararTemple, Tiruvannamalai - on 09.10.2025 - - Hon'ble Division Bench had ordered formation of the Heritage Commission as per the TN Heritage Commission Act, 2012.
Though one month's time was given initially - the @tnhrcedept and TN Govt sought one more month's time. Thereafter, today, when the matter came up, the Govt sought time for 3 more months -
plus it was revealed that that the govt issued a "secret notification" without mentioning any date and only within their Dept website (which incidentally did not work when the Court tried to see the website) calling for applications of Heritage Experts.
It reminded me of 2G licence fraud perpetuated by UPA govt and I said so in the Court.
Hon'ble Division Bench has now directed publication of fresh notice within a week in all leading newspapers giving 2 weeks time for the applicants to file their applications to be a member of the Heritage Commission.
Thereafter the Heritage Commission Committee to be formed within a month and only after approvals from the Heritage Committee any work in an ancient temple can be taken up.
Phew.... Finally some hope for saving our Ancient Temples known for their architectural splendor.
I sincerely hope - TN Govt and @tnhrcedept strictly follow the latest directions of the Hon'ble Division Bench!
Har Har Mahadev!
Jai Shri Ram!
Vetrivel Muruhan!
🚩 HUGE VICTORY for Hindu Devotees!
A historic judgment by the Hon'ble Division Bench Madras High Court paves the way to restore the sanctity of Temple Administration!
The Madurai Bench of Madras HC of Hon. Justice Dr. Anita Sumanth and Hon. Justice Shri C. Kumarappan
(Order dt 23.01.2026) has QUASHED the Govt's unilateral orders ₹40 Cr "Iconic Project" at Sri Kallazhagar Temple - illegally using the temple funds and properties.
The Bench held that using surplus funds without Sec 36 sanctions is ILLEGAL. The "Iconic Project" stands quashed. The Court slammed the @tnhrcedept
"To have a major temple managed by a Fit Person/EO for decades is a TRAVESTY of Law."
****Proposals MUST emanate from Trustees, not the Minister or the State****
Key takeaways:
1. State cannot treat Temples as its "personal fiefdom."
2. Trustees are Supreme; EOs are merely temporary staff. The presence of the Executive Officer in this temple is illegal. The Court ruled that Executive Officers (EOs) cannot squat in temples indefinitely (like the 50+ years at Kallazhagar).
3. Temple funds cannot be diverted for "crass commercial development."
4. Heritage & Agamas prevail over concrete structures.
5. No concrete structures near ancient shrines/water bodies.
6 . ASI & Local planning permissions are MANDATORY for Sri Kallazhagar Temple.
There are many time-bound directions given by the Hon'ble Bench to the Government and @tnhrcedept in this order.
Let's see if these instrumentalities obey the directions of the Court in this latest judgments or they brazenly disobey them as they done in the case of publication of audit reports and in the Tirupparankundram Case.
The era of the Department ruling over the Deity will be soon over. Power will be back where it belongs—with the Trustees who follow the law - and more importantly who follow Temple Dharma !
Once again we thank our counsels Shri @MRVChennai Shri @ARUNCHOCKALINGA and Advocate Shri Vadiraj Anirudh !
Many thanks to @ourtemples for his excellent presentation which was appreciated by the Hon'ble Bench.
My heartfelt thanks to Petitioners Shri Venkatesh Sowrirajan of Thirukkannapuram and Shri A V Prabhu of Azhagarkoil
Jai Shri Ram!

Arguing in bad faith.
Agreeing to a mention of Kashmir in the joint statement ( para6) during his visit to Pakistan in October 2025 and implicitly equating it with the Ukraine issue was a serious provocation.
This was post Pahalgam.
Sikorski is now justifying this by referring to India’s participation in Russia’s Zapad exercise last year.
This is a phony argument.
This was not an exercise directed at Poland.
No issue of Poland’s territorial integrity and sovereignty was raised.
His bad faith is exposed even more by the fact that military observers from three NATO member states, the US , Turkey and Hungary, participated in the Zapad exercise.
When you believe you're a separate person in a dangerous world, you have to protect yourself.
That means masking. Playing roles. Making yourself acceptable to your tribe.
But if you've realized you're not a separate person - that you're indestructible awareness
itself - safety stops being paramount.
You can finally be authentic.
Unfiltered. Unmasked.
Life moves through you without obstruction. You say what's true. You act from the heart.
People can feel it. Authenticity is rare enough that it's magnetic.
Drop the armor. You never needed it.
Fantastic news from Madras High Court -
A news deliberately not reported in news media.
An Hon'ble Division Bench of the Madras High Court RESTORED 3.93 acres of Temple Land (currently valued at about Rs.110.00 Crores) that was illegally allowed to be sold in the year 1994 by the "Temple Administration Board" of the @tnhrcedept
After many years of legal battle - the Court has now clearly declared that the auction of the temple lands to be illegal and has allowed restoration of the lands to the temple.
It is a shame that none of the media has reported this as more than 90 persons belonging to a minority community are now occupying the temple lands and have constructed houses and a mosque therein.
Not one newspaper - Not one news channel has reported this important and upright judgment of the Hon'ble Division Bench of Madras High Court.
See this thread for background of the case, etc. 👇👇
On 17 Dec 2021, a moment of serendipity brought @sanjeevsanyal and the Indian Navy together into a discussion on the feasibility of designing & constructing an ancient stitched ship. That discussion culminated into INSV Kaundinya Project.
