Soon thereafter, I watched a video of a young Jain muni (monk) performing Sahasrāvadhāna.... Read more

The Teachings of Narada to Yudhishthira: A Guide to Righteous Rule We have long revered the Arthashastra as a foundational text from ancient Bharat (India).

Or imagine even hearing that Donald Trump apologized to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on live television. You’d likely laugh off such claims as absurd. Why? Because you know their history, their values, and their track records. Now ask yourself: if we apply the same reasoning to... Read more
