A longing for Krishna-Christ reincarnating together, which ultimately is a yearning for the awakening of humanity itself—to the realization that we are not many, but One.

Paramahansa Yogananda hailed America as a beacon of spirituality, yet its trail of wars, interventions, and suffering exposes a disturbing chasm between its sacred ideals and global conduct.

When routine surgeries turn fatal, while ICU bills soar, grieving families question whether hospitals are havens of healing or dangerously unsafe? Hospitals are neither temples nor traps—they are human institutions, capable of both remarkable healing and tragic failure. But reform, accountability, and compassion will help in rekindling trust in hospital care.

Why is it so hard to find God? Because we do not yet desire Him above all else. The tragedy is not that God hides, but that we don’t see Him. Yet there is hope that everyone will find God in the end. The only question is how long we choose to delay.

Long before Indian mystics and monks spoke of the Krishna-Christ connection, a British Governor-General discerned their theological kinship—and quietly altered the West’s understanding of the Bhagavad Gita.

As we celebrate Christmas today, let us reaffirm the holy Krishna-Christ connection.  Paramahansa Yogananda often quoted verses from the Bible and the Gita to show the similarities between the verses, thus establishing the unity between the two scriptures, and between Krishna and Christ.

The approaches or paths to Christian and Eastern meditation may be different, but the goal is the same—to commune with God. They are like two sides of the same coin.

Bollywood’s battles with cancer—stories of stars who died with dignity and others who survived with defiance, transforming illness into courage and advocacy, and by their example, redefining true victory.

Swami Vivekananda had visualised the youth rising and playing a leading, revolutionary role in nation-building. More than 120 years since his passing away, the question still burns: have the youth risen—or been allowed to rise—to the challenge of leading the nation?

For millennia, believers have unquestioningly called God “He.” But if the Divine is formless and beyond gender, why does society stubbornly masculinise the sacred?

John Abraham’s remarkable, age-defying physique is not just the result of rigorous training—it’s underpinned by a deeply ethical, near-vegan diet, a monk-like discipline, and a philosophy that treats the body as a sacred temple.

Contemporary spiritual thinkers suggest that compared to vegetarianism, veganism is a more complete approach to wellness—for the body, mind, spirit, and the planet.

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, a gentle voice of Islamic moderation, championed universalism of all faiths and the transformative power of dialogue. His Gandhian spirit and deep spirituality shaped a lifelong mission to promote peace, harmony, and mutual understanding.

Self-realization is the oldest yet most radical journey of humankind—the discovery of the divine within. Paramahansa Yogananda called self-realization the “new religion” for a new age, where dogma dissolves and unity reigns.

Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu transforms fitness into a healing discipline, balancing strength, nutrition, and resilience to combat her autoimmune condition.

The first step to freedom and growth is taking responsibility for your own actions. Because until you take the blame, you can never truly take control of your life and help yourself and others.

Balance body, mind, and spirit to live a wholesome, harmonious life and bring about a wellness revolution in yourself and the world around.

India must stop seeking external approval for her gurus and saints and start listening to her own soul. Only when Indians recognise the value of their gurus not because the world applauds them, but because they are grounded in dharma, will we mature spiritually.
