**Namaste 🙏** Our *Mahila Sadassu* yesterday was a deeply meaningful gathering, bringing together women from **urban, rural, and tribal regions**—a beautiful coming together of diverse geographies and lived traditions. The theme of the session was **“Grāma Devatā”** — celebrating our intimate connection with the **divine presence that permeates nature**, protects us, nurtures us, and sustains our lives. As taught in the Bhagavad Gita, human beings and Devatās are meant to ex

To move from reflection to renewal, the question is not merely what has gone wrong, but how a civilization develops the capacity to address its own internal distortions without surrendering its narrative to external, often reductive frameworks . This requires a conscious, collective mechanism—rooted in civilizational ethos yet responsive to present realities so that opportunity is not given to the predatory external mechanisms waiting for an opportunity. The framework of Sama

A Civilizational Crossroads for Dharmic Faiths - Part 1 Civilizations do not disappear only when they are destroyed. They disappear when their inheritors begin to believe that what they have inherited was never truly theirs. This is the crossroads at which large sections of Hindus find themselves today. The situation is no different to the remaining Dharmic traditions as well as the remaining native faiths across the world. Across regions, languages, and communities, there ha

by: Hindumitra Karen Dabrowska, London Ellora caves aren’t just impressive. They give us a  quiet gentle  reminder that coexistence isn’t some modern invention. The Vedas tell us that there is one truth which has many expressions. Buddhism tells us: “Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one’s own acts, done and undone.” Mahavira the Jain  patriarch teaches: "Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torme

by: Hindumitra Karen Dabrowska, London Let go, let God. This was my philosophy  on my visit to the Shiva Khori cave in Jammu. From the very beginning, it felt as though Shiva himself was guiding me with an invisible hand, each moment unfolding with a synchronicity that felt less like chance and more like a gentle summons.   While reading about the temples of Jammu, Shiva Khori seemed to call out to me — not loudly, but with the unmistakable pull of a place one is meant to vis

by: Hindumitra Karen Dabraowska, London "There I was greeted by a radiant figure in vibrant attire, an all-embracing smile playing across his face as he held a flute. I later learned this was Lord Krishna. I was struck by the vivid colours of his clothing and by a realization that startled me: a god could be joyful. This stood in stark contrast to the bleak, suffering figure of the organized religion that had shaped my early religious upbringing—an image I had turned away fro

Children have an extraordinary ability to learn multiple languages at once. Neuroscience shows that early exposure to the mother tongue strengthens cognitive development, emotional bonding, memory formation, and cultural grounding. A parent who sings, tells stories, and speaks to the child in their own language transmits not just words—but wisdom, identity, and worldview . Three Kinds of Conversion In Hindumitra satsangams and workshops, I often explain that “conversion” hap

By: Hindumitra Karen Dabrowska, London, UK Rishikesh is a magical place where silence speaks loudly, teaching the value of stillness and the art of listening. The sacred Ganges flows as it has from time immemorial — always the same, yet always different.   During Diwali, the city shimmers with celebration. Every lamp glowing from the houses and temples radiates joy, and the night sky bursts into colour — orange, red, and every shade of the rainbow — as fireworks paint the hea

🌸 నివేదికరచన: హిందూమిత్ర హరి (బొమ్మి శ్రీహరి) విశాఖపట్నం నగరంలోని సీతమ్మధార నుంచి కైలాసపురం వెళ్లే మార్గంలో, పోర్ట్ క్వార్టర్స్ దగ్గర గల కొండమీద దాదాపు యాభై సంవత్సరాల క్రితం ప్రసన్న వెంకటేశ్వర స్వామి ఆలయం నిర్మించబడింది.ఒకప్పుడు వెలుగొందిన ఆ దేవాలయం, కాలక్రమంలో భక్తుల నిర్లక్ష్యానికి గురై నిర్మానుష్యంగా మారింది. ఇదే సమయంలో, ఆ కొండ ప్రాంతం యొక్క ప్రకృతి రమణీయతను గుర్తించిన ప్రస్తుత యువత, దురదృష్టవశాత్తు, ఆ ప్రదేశాన్ని అవాంఛనీయ కార్యకలాపాలకు వినియోగిస్తున్నారని హిందూమిత్ర సభ్
