@AadhavArjuna Dear Fellow Indian, we are Indians firstly and then divided by states. Please don't add fuel to a divide which suits your needs. There is enough divide surrounding us already.

P.S. My dear friend, you are not the voice of every single Tamilian.

[Kishore Subramanian @Kishore1975_]

My mother is not the best in the world 🌍!!!!

Let’s strip away the social media veneer and the performative piety. My mom was never the "best." She was lazy, her cooking was unremarkable, & she lacked that soft, saintly glow people use to describe mothers on this day. But in this sterile hospital room, as I watch her lungs labor for the very air we take for granted, I realize a profound truth: the world’s obsession with having the "best mother" is a hollow distraction.

A mother doesn’t become the luckiest because she is perfect; she becomes the luckiest when she is shielded by a child who refuses to fail her. I may not have been gifted a legend, but I have resolved to be one for her. My devotion isn't a reaction to her excellence; it’s a testament to my character. I am the best child she could have ever hoped for, and in that fierce, uncompromising love, I have made her the luckiest mother on earth.

Looking at this photo of us—my dad, my mom, and me—my heart breaks in ways I can't describe. It is a snapshot of a world that is rapidly disappearing. If, God forbid, the worst happens, I will be left truly alone. My father is already gone, and Covid cruelly stole my brother from us, leaving a void that screams in the silence of the night. If she leaves, I will be an alien in this world, bereft of the only anchor I have left. I am not just fighting for her life; I am fighting for the last piece of my own identity. Every beep of that hospital monitor is a reminder that without her, I am a man without a country, a soul without a home.

The reality outside these hospital walls is a tragedy of "eloquent" abandonment. India has quietly become the world’s largest waiting room for the elderly. While the youth chase the "Green Card Dream" in the USA and Europe, earning massive bucks and living the high life, our cities are overflowing with "Geri-Care" facilities. These aren't just clinics; they are warehouses for the parents of the successful. It is estimated that nearly 15 million elderly Indians live in isolation—ghosts in their own homes, left behind by children who provide "financial support" but zero presence. They send a wire transfer and a WhatsApp greeting, effectively paying "blood money" to absolve themselves of the duty of care.
We live in a society of cold, calculated hisab ( I mean many of us, not all of us )

I see it every day—sons & daughters who spend lavishly on their own lifestyles but scrutinize the cost of their mother’s dialysis like a bad business investment. I see men who, the moment they marry, lose the capacity to handle their mother’s tantrums." They let their wives or their careers become the shield they hide behind to sideline the woman who birthed her.

But in modern India, that "longest" love is being traded for convenience.
My mother is a woman full of flaws. But she is a human being who wants to live. As I write this, I am fighting a war of sorts to ensure she does. I don't care about my bank balance. I don't care if I exhaust my youth or my health to pay these bills. If I have to die earning to keep her heart beating, then let that be my legacy.
How many children can honestly say they would give their mother a blank check?

Most are just guarding their inheritance while complaining about the "burden" of old age. They offer hollow wishes on social media while their mothers die of a broken heart in a gilded cage of neglect

She doesn't have to be a saint to deserve your presence. Stop looking for the "best mother" and start striving to be the best child, Period.

As the monitor beeps rhythmically in this room, tears flow not for what she wasn't, but for what I am for her. I am her shield. I am the one who didn't leave for the "Bucks." I am the one holding her hand while the eloquent ones are too busy to care. To the world, she is just an old patient. To me, she is the woman who will know, with her last breath, that she had a son who stood his ground.

Stop the posts. Start the care.

River of Love” is a moving tribute to the life and timeless spiritual legacy of Pujya Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur (Babuji), the founder of Sahaj Marg, now known as Heartfulness.

Told through heartfelt memories, personal stories, and reflections from abhyasis who were blessed to know him, this documentary beautifully captures the essence of his wisdom, love, and transformative presence.
More than a documentary, it is a deeply human journey into the heart of a spiritual guru whose guidance continues to inspire generations.

What a fall from the Quiz master whom I adored once for your command over English to this day where your language is simply uncouth and sounds like a classic case of verbal diahorrea.

Also, your deragatory comments are RICH coming from a person who hasn't contested a single election.

[Shivanthika Murugan @shivanthika]

@RahulGandhi Kindly refrain from commenting about my location, but funnily you revealed your exact location with your distasteful remark!

[Shivanthika Murugan @shivanthika]

@RahulGandhi Seriously, when you yourself don't take yourself seriously in conveying what YOU THINK is important, why should any sane person take you seriously?

India is tired of seeking a serious opposition leader! 🤨

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Sometimes disappearing to build yourself in private is the most powerful form of self-care. You don't need self-help books and podcasts and 2 hour long morning routines. Sometimes, all you need is some alone time. Just to rebuild yourself away from all the noise. To sit with yourself. To feel the emotions you’ve been avoiding. To reflect on the patterns you’ve been repeating. To quietly decide what no longer belongs in your life. And trust me, sometimes that small decision changes your life more than any advice ever could.

[vivan. @VivanVatsa]

inspiration feels ugly to a self-made man.

it’s like a guest that arrives late and leaves early. and most people have built their entire creative life around waiting for it, rearranging the furniture, curating the perfect conditions for a feeling that was never going to be summoned on demand. what you actually need is the courage to begin without it. when the work feels like punishment and continuing feels like walking into fire with your eyes open, that limitless strength is real pot of gold. inspiration then becomes a reward for showing up. it finds the people who were already working. who had already paid the price of beginning badly and kept going anyway. head down, locked in. not desperate to seek ‘inspiration.’

press your hands into the clay. even when they feel like stone. especially then.

@parthpunter Sometimes it's best to follow what we all must have written in our school slam books, Live and Let Live!

@Hemjayoh @Theharshhada7 @grok Farming would be an alternative way of life and may not necessarily be a career for many. There will be an increase of folks working these jobs and managing a farm over the weekends in my opinion.

As we count down to the completion of 50 years of Shahjahanpur Heartfulness Ashram, the birthplace of the Sahaj Marg system, we asked people about their memories of Shahjahanpur and their experiences with Babuji, the founder of Sahaj Marg (Heartfulness).

From first visits to deeply transformative moments, every story carries something timeless.

This is one such story!

Tell us your Shahjahanpur story in the comments.

Each Heartfulness practice has its purpose, and together they dovetail into a complete whole. If you meditate without cleaning, you may remain burdened with heaviness. If you clean without meditating, you will have a clean vessel but lack focus on both the journey and the destination. And if you practise meditation and cleaning without prayer, the practice becomes dry, without the flow of love and communion.

Practising them at appropriate times during the day brings balance and depth to the system: meditation in the morning, cleaning in the evening, and prayer at bedtime.

If you aren’t getting happier as you get older, you’re doing it wrong.

A little girl’s father had gone missing. The girl drew a sketch of her father for the police. And as soon as the police found the man, seeing his actual photograph made the news anchors burst out laughing. 😅

[Heartfulness @heartfulness]

True kindness is an internal state that starts with how we treat ourselves; it's not just an external act. We frequently try to help others when we are at our lowest, but genuine service might be more long-lasting if we first learn to be kind and giving to our own hearts.

We may be able to move through the world with greater grace and concentration if we can discover our center through meditation.
