What is your relationship with Guru? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can you ever be alone when you have a guru? The moment a soul is born on this planet, relationships begin. Before birth, you are unmanifest. You are pure spirit. The moment you are born, you have a mother and a father. Then all the other relationships follow. Where does the guru stand among them? Our scriptures say, “Guru maatru pita guru bandhu sakha”, meaning the guru is the mother and father. The guru gives you a second birth. He delivers you into a new world and gives you a new relationship
Cow as daughter of cosmic matter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The cow stands for fertility, prosperity, and life, and is often called a mother-ancestor. While Hindus venerate the cow as mother, go mata, ancient Egyptians identified goddess Hathor with the cow; her image was used in amulets to ward off evil and bring good luck.

A reaction gives birth to yet another reaction, and this goes on. There’s no end to it. Reaction is a sudden manifestation of anger. It’s a sign of impu
Walk for Shiv: True essence of Kanwar Yatra (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The spiritual meaning of the kanwar yatra is rooted in Hindu mythology, specifically the ancient legend of the ‘Samudra Manthan’, or the churning of the ocean. During this cosmic event, a catastrophic poison called ‘Halahal’ emerged, endangering the entire creation. To safeguard the universe, Shiv consumed the toxin and trapped it in his throat, turning his throat blue and bestowing upon him the name Neelkanth Mahadev. To soothe the intense burning from the venom, his followers poured sacred Gan
