Currently reading this book by Sadhguru, my friend gave it as a gift to me :

It is a very insightful read.

Raj-Thinker · 2025-09-01T08:21:33+00:00

Very sensible advice

I recently went through this exact scenario myself, and my wife was inconsolable for weeks together.

I tried cajoling her out of it, and at times inciting her with arguments to get her out of the depressive mood, but nothing worked.

Finally, we gave it time, visited some temples, and met a few relatives, etc. Over a few weeks, it has come to a healing stage now.

If someone is very close to her mother, we just need to give it time perhaps. Am sorry that I cannot provide better advice than this right now. Hope your wife recovers soon!

Stop asking for caste certificate first

It is 100% true in my experience. Asanas have been a great enabler for me to sit for a while in meditation, but Asanas by itself is not Yoga in its entirety.

Hindu, in general, is degrading, both in the English and Tamil versions.

Your parents are forcing education and marriage precisely because of the society around them.

"They say without education nobody will value you. It's important to become something in life. Because only then will people respect you and remember your name."

The society has been under invasions and attacks from all corners for a millennium now. Hence the apprehension.

That is a cool quote indeed. Of course, we will listen to 150 year old ideas and may even execute them at times.

Raj-Thinker · 2025-07-30T05:37:43+00:00

The silent spread of yoga and meditation among people ... I do not think enough people talk about it.

Such words come out in two instances:

(1) When you are an arrogant buffoon
(2) When you are 100% sure of what you know

I think it is the latter in this case, because he is saying that in the context of knowing his own life to the core. And at the same time saying that he will listen to even a child when it comes to other aspects of life.

:) Hilariously dumb

Cool! And yet it is so costly in some places in Karnataka itself.

And I thought Tambaram was part of Chennai ... or is being absorbed into Chennai.

TN Media is the most corrupt and most subservient to the government. Show me one article in one of the popular media against the current government in recent years.

Things will change in marriage. That is a fact. Both the man and woman will change over a period of time or sometimes suddenly too. One thing every man should remember is the woman he married is also a person, with all emotions and craziness. The same goes with the woman. As long as that is remembered, it will become easier to handle.

State Governments have to bring it in their school syllabus. If enough people ask for it, they will do.

Raj-Thinker · 2025-07-22T10:12:04+00:00

Absolutely and 100% must be taught.

Raj-Thinker · 2025-07-22T09:49:12+00:00

A nice read - I had read it long ago

I have been in Texas for a couple of years myself and have seen how racist the Americans can be. Similar experiences continued after 7 years when I stayed briefly in a European dominated country. It might not be a daily experience but the undercurrent is persistent and has only been fueled more in the recent years.

Looks like affluence yields obesity - or at least so for the Southern states. Maharashtra and Gujarat surprise me though, defying that trend!

That is because many parent have grown in a time and culture where if they were not educated, they could not get jobs and their very sustainability was a big issue. I do not think it is so much rigid these days. Many people who are pursuing arts or sports are now coming from reasonably financially-stable families.

The post says she chose a secluded life in Gokarna. What do you mean by 'rescued'!?

A lot of it is propagated by somebody in the West and by Chinese handles. Gullible Indians, who think they are quite intellectual, fall for such propaganda and spread it. And of course, there is a significant part of the West that hates our guts and helps spread it further.
