Avadhānam: The Art of Concentration and Intellectual Mastery
Last updated on: August 25, 2026 at 2:28 pm By Udit Shah
What is Avadhānam? In the summer of 2015, during a three-day Sanskrit camp organized by Samskrit Bharati in Michigan, I attended a guest lecture by Dr. R. Ganesh, a distinguished scholar visiting the United States from India. He was introduced as a scholar conversant with eighteen languages, including Greek and Latin, and, intriguingly, as a Śatāvadhāni. It was the first time I had encountered the term. Soon thereafter, I watched a video of a young Jain muni (monk) performing Sahasrāvadhāna.... Read more

Narada’s Advice to Yudhishthira: Complete Duty of a King
Last updated on: May 19, 2026 at 3:27 pm By Udit Shah
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). It provided the world with a complete constitutional framework and a comprehensive guide to governance, encapsulating the essence of democracy, citizen welfare, and absolute moral and ethical administration. Indeed, the Arthashastra is more than a constitution; it is an encyclopedic treatise on complete statecraft. Its detailed scope far exceeds many modern governmental guides, covering: The... Read more

Did Shri Ram Really Reject Sita? A Quest for the Truth
Last updated on: August 11, 2026 at 3:02 pm By Udit Shah
Re-examining an age-old controversy through reason, philosophy, and faith A New Perspective Imagine seeing a social media post claiming that Anand Ranganathan has joined the Congress, or that Rahul Gandhi has joined the BJP. 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

Chiquita Movie: Whispers of Devi in a Western Landscape
Last updated on: October 10, 2025 at 8:07 pm By Udit Shah
Chiquita Movie Review Films are popular for a reason and the reason is their ability to move the audience one way or other. 24 crafts together can cast a spell on you, also because audiences are watching it with a mindset to get absorbed and transported. It’s a kind of meditative mood and open mind that is required for spiritual elevation as well. I came across a film that uses this very love for cinema as a means of spiritual... Read more

Reason Why I Write This Article Growing up in a village with a population of less than a thousand in the 1950s/1960s, I have memories of always being treated for most of the ailments by my mother using home remedies.
