LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

Love and friendship—two of the most beautiful connections we experience in life. But there's something profound about how these two intertwine, and sometimes, how they part ways.

Love after friendship is something magical. It starts with a foundation of trust, understanding, and shared memories. That kind of love is deep and enduring because it’s built on more than just attraction. It’s built on a history of knowing each other at your best and at your worst. You already know the quirks, the habits, the unspoken things that only a true friend would notice. And when that friendship blossoms into love, it’s like the stars align. 💫

But when love fades, the bond of friendship struggles to survive. It's hard to be 'just friends' with someone when you've shared such deep emotions. It's as though the heart can no longer go back to a place it has already grown beyond. The transition from love to friendship can be painful, and for many, it's simply not possible. You can’t un-feel the intensity of love once it has gripped your soul.

So, cherish that love that grows from friendship, and if it ever ends, remember that sometimes, letting go is part of the journey too.

Love and friendship are both special, but when love begins with friendship, it can be truly unforgettable. 💖

THE GLOW OF EMOTIONAL SAFETY

“The Glow of Emotional Safety”

When a man is gentle, soft and consistently respects you, that’s when your nervous system starts healing. It’s not just about affection, it’s about safety, trust and the feeling of being seen without judgment.

For many women, love becomes more than flowers and sweet words; it becomes the calm after years of storms. A respectful man doesn’t just hold your hand, he holds your fears with patience. He doesn’t just say he cares, he proves it by listening, by honoring your boundaries and by showing up even when it’s inconvenient. That kind of love doesn’t trigger anxiety, it quiets it. It doesn’t demand perfection, it embraces the imperfections and reminds you that you’re still worthy of tenderness.

That’s why some women seem to have that radiant glow when they’re in the right relationship. It’s not makeup, nor is it simply happiness, it’s the body and soul finally resting, finally breathing, finally trusting. When you are loved in safety, your laughter becomes lighter, your presence becomes softer and your spirit begins to shine in ways you didn’t know it could.

Because in truth, it’s not the love itself, it’s the emotional safety. That’s the real healing.

WHAT IS MAHALAYA AMAVASYA

What is Mahalaya Amavasya?

Mahalaya Amavasya is a highly mystical day. It is on this day that the Pitru Paksha, the fortnight named after our Pitrus or forefathers, ends. The Pitru Paksha, or male segment, is followed by Matri Paksha, the female segment or Dussehra, which flags off the nine days of Navaratri celebrations honoring the Mother Goddess.

For spiritual initiation, astrological guidance, divine remedies to problems, and fruitful living, join us today through our Telegram, YouTube Channels

Mahalaya can be described as the conjunction of Pitru and Matri Paksha.On Mahalaya day, the Pitrus, or departed ancestors, leave their abode and descend to earth. During this period, we can establish a connection with them. A powerful conjunction of the sun and the moon occurs at this time. Those who desire to honor their loved ones who are no more and receive their blessings, often meditate during this period, especially on Mahalaya day. it is said that by doing so, we can feel their subtle presence around us, and we can use this subtle energy to dissolve the karmas around our ancestors.

On Mahalaya Amavasya, Hindus make offerings to their ancestors to express their gratitude to them for all their contributions to their lives. The period of Pitru paksha is also known as Shraddha. This year (2020), it starts from September 1. 'Pitru' means 'ancestors', and Paksha is the period before the Sharad Navratri begins. By offering food and performing Tarpan, on this day, we can ensure that the souls of our dead ancestors obtain peace. When appeased thus, our ancestors are said to bestow their blessings on our families.

Benefits of observing Mahalaya Amavasya:

The benefits of doing Tarpanam for ancestors on Mahalaya Amavasya are manifold:

Cleansing of Karma

Attain peace, happiness, and prosperity 

Removal of obstacles and sorrows 

Protection of Pitrus 

Blessings for progeny

Blessings for a long and healthy life

Pitru Dosha:

It has been observed that certain people seem to suffer for no reason at all. Problems constantly beset them, one after the other, so that one feels that they are jinxed. One explanation that Astrology offers for this condition is Pitru Dosha. This dosha, if present, will show up in our horoscope. If our ancestors have done something wrong, knowingly or unknowingly, their souls will not find peace. As their descendants, we, too, are destined to suffer the evil effects of their bad deeds. The malefic influence of the afflicted planets can block the positive effect of the benefic planets too.The shadow or karmic planet, Rahu, is believed to be chiefly responsible for such doshas.

Some reasons for Pitru Dosha are:

Bad deeds (bad karma ) of our ancestors 

Bad deeds ( bad karma ) of children 

Lack of fulfillment of desires 

Sudden, untimely, or unnatural death of ancestors 

Mahalaya Amavasya is also called Sarvapitri Amavasya (all ancestors' new moon day) as it is allocated for all ancestors. All those who forgot to perform Shraadh for some reason can do so on this day. Mahalaya marks the beginning of Durga Pooja for Bengalis. Supposedly, Goddess Durga descended to earth on this day. Offerings for dead ancestors are made at home or Pooja Pandals.

Significance of Mahalaya Amavasya:

Human beings have been present on planet Earth for 20 million years. The generations that lived on earth before s have contributed something to our lives. Whatever we possess today - our beliefs, traditions, buildings, food crops, technologies, material comforts, languages, knowledge - everything is part of a rich legacy left behind by our ancestors. If our lives are easier today, our ancestors are the ones to be thanked. They toiled and struggled so that we could have a comfortable life, and to express our gratitude to them, we observe Mahalaya Amavasya. This also ensures that we will always have the blessings of our ancestors for a happy and prosperous life.

NEVER FORCE A RELATIONSHIP

Never force a relationship.

Sometimes it’s better to move on, than to hold on to someone who doesn’t understand who you are. Unfortunately, there will be times when your absence teaches you what your presence can’t.

You need to stop breaking your heart trying to make a relationship work that clearly wasn’t meant to work in the first place.

You can’t force someone to genuinely care about you.

You can’t force someone to be loyal to you.

You can’t force someone to be the person you need them to be.

The truth is, sometimes the person you want most is the same person you’d be better off without.

You have to understand that some things are meant to come into your life, but they’re not meant to stay.

Whatever you do to show love, you have to be

Be careful not to lose yourself trying to fix what shouldn’t have been there in the first place. You can’t get the relationship you need from someone who isn’t willing to reciprocate the love you give them.

I know it’s hard to meet someone and feel your heart, that person you can spend eternity with, and you start to accept that they’re not the person you thought you needed.

No matter how much you cry yourself to sleep at night, you will eventually heal from your past relationship and find the person you’ve always longed for. Your future will now bring an understanding of why things didn’t work out in your past relationships.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is, “It’s better to be single than to be in a relationship settling for less.”

If they see you as an option, they don’t deserve to be a priority in your life.

Take my advice and don’t chase someone who doesn’t chase you.

BEAUTIFUL SOUL

Authenticity doesn’t shout. It quietly attracts the right people into your life.

Ever wonder why some people just seem to attract good vibes and amazing people around them?

It’s not luck… it’s authenticity

Beautiful souls recognize other beautiful souls.

Stop trying to fit in.

Stop pretending to be perfect.

👉 Be real.

👉 Be kind.

👉 Be YOU.

Because when you’re genuine, the right people find you. It’s like magic… but better. 

💡 At work: Saying “I don’t know, but I’ll figure it out” earns more respect than fake confidence.

❤ In life: Opening up honestly to a friend creates the deepest connections.

Stay real. Your people are out there and they’re looking for you.

A GOOD ATTITUDE

A good attitude can make even simple interactions meaningful. It builds trust, creates harmony, and leaves a lasting impression. No matter how skilled or successful a person may be, without respect and good manners, their achievements lose their shine.

When you carry yourself with humility, kindness, and patience, you show a quality that no profession alone can give you. Skills may get you noticed, but a good heart earns you respect that no paper qualification can buy.

NO CHILD IS BORN WITH HATE

No Child is Born with Hate!

Look at this picture — pure innocence. Children don’t see race, religion, or status. They see another human being to laugh with, to play with, to love without conditions. Hatred, division, and prejudice are not part of our nature — they are taught, shaped by the words and behaviors we pass down.

If love and kindness can be taught, so can hate. That means we, as adults, carry the responsibility of deciding what seeds we plant in the next generation. Do we teach fear and separation? Or do we nurture compassion, acceptance, and respect?

Every word, every action, every belief we express in front of a child becomes part of their worldview. Let’s not poison their innocence with the weight of our prejudices.

✨ Teach love. Teach kindness. Teach humanity. Because racism is learned — and it can be unlearned too

DIGNITY OVER SILENCE

💔👩‍👧 When a Father Chose Dignity Over Silence 🎶✨

In a society where many daughters silently suffer at the hands of abusive in-laws, one father decided to break the chain of shame and fear. His daughter had been tortured, humiliated, and mistreated — but instead of hiding the pain behind closed doors, he chose to bring her back with pride, respect, and celebration.

With band-baja and community gathering, he welcomed his daughter home like a queen returning with honor. 🥁🎺 This was not just a personal act — it was a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, a bold statement to society that daughters are not burdens to be returned quietly, but lives to be protected and celebrated. 🌟

👉 By doing this, the father sent a powerful message: “No daughter should be ashamed to walk out of abuse. Her dignity matters more than society’s judgment.” His act has inspired many, showing that true love is not about tradition or pressure — it is about standing up for justice, safety, and respect. 👏💯

This unique step will be remembered as a reminder that families must unite to protect their daughters, and that silence in the face of cruelty must be replaced with support, pride, and unconditional love. ❤️

THE RAVENWOLF

She had long ago decided her path would be different from all the others.

They sought safety in relationships and placed their self worth into the people they loved while she chose to forge her own way.

She’d been down that road and after countless heartbreaks, knew that she had to go a different way.

She was through looking for a man to save her or try to fix her..

Maybe she was broken, but it wasn’t in the way that the world thought..

Her scars told her story, her flaws were part of her unique beauty-

And she wouldn’t change any of that or who she was for anyone..or most of all, love.

No, the sort of love she craved was a deeper soul love that could fulfill her in a respectful and vibrant way that electrified her spirit.

She didn’t want to be just wanted by an ordinary man with regular desires.

She craved the love of that man that would yearn to be close to her, who would value and cherish her for exactly who she was and most of all,

Make her feel loved each and every day.

She knew that she was holding out for a hero in a world full of zeros, but she was worth it.

She wouldn’t settle, make do or accept anything less than the best..and what she knew she wanted.

So, until that extraordinary man crossed her path, she’d keep chasing her dreams, loving her life and being the best she could be.

That was who she was and what she wanted..

A colorful life and beautiful love..

Strong, passionate and intense-

Just like her.|ravenwolf

BOUNDARIES

Boundaries aren’t about rejection, they are about balance.

They are the invisible lines that say: “I love and respect myself enough to decide what I will and will not allow.”

Remember — when you set healthy boundaries, you don’t lose people who matter. You only lose those who were benefiting from your lack of them.

Protect your peace. Protect your soul. That is real strength.

HUMANITY

When the practice of faith becomes so rigid that it strips away empathy, tolerance, and basic human decency, it loses its true essence.

If your religion teaches you to look down on others…

If it makes you hate those who are different…

If it asks you to lose your humanity in order to defend it…

Then it’s no longer serving as a light, but as a chain.

Humanity is the foundation upon which all faiths rest. Compassion, love, kindness, forgiveness — these are not just “religious” values, they are human values. When you embrace them, you honor every tradition and transcend them at the same time.

🌱 Remember: If you lose your humanity for your religion, you lose the very soul of what religion is meant to nurture. True spirituality is not about rituals or labels; it’s about how gently, fairly, and lovingly you walk through this world.

🙏 Be human first. Religion should make you a better human being, not a bitter one.

DONKEY AND TIGER

The Story of the Donkey and Tiger:

The donkey told the tiger:

′′The grass is blue".

The tiger replied:

′′No, the grass is green".

The discussion became heated up, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion, King of the Jungle.

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming:

′′Your Highness, is it true that grass is blue?".

The lion replied:

"True, the grass is blue".

The donkey rushed forward and continued:

′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me please punish him".

The king then declared:

′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence".

The donkey jumped for joy and went on his way, content and repeating:

′′The grass is blue"...

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion:

′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"

The lion replied:

′′In fact, the grass is green".

The tiger asked:

′′So why do you punish me?"

The lion replied:

′′That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question".

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of their beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense... There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t. When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more...

🌷Takeaway:

▪️ Not every argument is worth your time.

 ▪️Arguing with fools only steals your peace.

▪️Wisdom is knowing when silence is the strongest reply.

BAMBOO TEACHES A DIFFERENT TRUTH

Most people give up because they don’t see results.But bamboo teaches us a different truth.

For up to 5 years, particular bamboo species — like Chinese Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) — show almost no growth above the soil.No towering stalks. No dramatic change.Just silent, unseen work underground.

During this time, the bamboo develops a vast and resilient root system, anchoring itself in preparation for the weight of what’s to come.

Then — in just a matter of weeks — it can grow up to 90 feet.

That’s up to 3 feet per day in the right conditions.

The world calls it sudden success.

But bamboo knows better.

It’s the outcome of discipline, patience, and deep foundations.

This is The Patience Principle:

When nothing seems to be happening —

That might be when the real work is being done.

Grow deep before you grow tall.

HONESTY AND TRUST

When we learn to respect others, we show them their worth. Respect creates an environment where both sides feel valued and safe. Without it, even the smallest issues can grow into bigger gaps.

Honesty and trust go hand in hand. Being truthful allows trust to grow, and trust makes any bond unshakable. Loyalty seals it all, because loyalty proves that no matter what happens, the bond will not break easily. These qualities are not just given, they are exchanged through how we treat each other every day.

BE THAT SPECIAL PERSON

Do you know what really gives life meaning? People. Not the ones who stick around out of obligation or convenience, but the ones who stay because you truly matter to them. ❤️

They’re the ones who call just to hear your voice. Who drop by for coffee because they missed you. Who ask, “How are you?” and actually wait for the real answer.

They’re the people who accept you completely — flaws, mistakes, doubts and all. Who celebrate your wins like they’re their own, and stand beside you when life gets heavy.

The ones who share their stories and memories with you, and listen to yours in a way no one else does.

Hold on to these people. Protect that connection.

And never forget: to someone out there, you are that special person. ❤️

CRY

You can cry.

No one will think less of you.

Tears are not weakness,

they are the body’s way of saying

I have carried too much,

and now I must let some of it go.

You can cry.

Even if it’s been years,

even if people tell you to move on.

Grief has no deadline,

and healing is not a straight line.

Let the ache find its voice.

You can cry.

When the day is too heavy

and you don’t know why.

Not every tear needs an explanation.

Sometimes sorrow comes uninvited,

and that is okay too.

You can cry.

And still be strong.

Strength is not in holding back the flood,

but in allowing yourself to feel

what you have tried so hard to hide.

You can cry.

Even if no one else understands.

Your pain is yours,

and it deserves space.

You don’t have to make it smaller

so others can be comfortable.

You can cry.

In the silence of your room,

in the shower,

into the pillow that knows your secrets.

Tears are prayers too,

and they reach where words cannot.

You can cry.

And after, you can rest.

You will not be emptied forever.

The body knows how to renew itself,

and even the heaviest storm

eventually clears.

You can cry.

And still laugh tomorrow.

Joy will come back to you,

softly, slowly,

like sunlight after rain.

Your tears will not erase it.

You can cry.

And still be loved.

There is nothing in your tears

that makes you less deserving,

less whole,

less worthy of gentle hands.

You can cry.

And while you do,

remember this:

nothing you feel

makes you unworthy of love.

Not then, not now, not ever.

RIA OLITA

HOME

We often think our children’s future depends only on the money we save,

the schools we can afford,

or the careers we dream for them.

But more than wealth,what truly secures their tomorrow is the kind of home we build today.

When children grow up in a house filled with tension,no amount of inheritance can heal the wounds.But when they grow up in a home filled with laughter, respect, and care,

they carry that strength for life.

The truth is—

we are not just raising kids,

we are raising future parents, future partners, future leaders.

And the values they will pass on tomorrow

are the ones they experience from us today.

Love them now.

Respect them now.

Guide them now.

Because the atmosphere we create in our home is the greatest inheritance we can give.

PURE LOVE

A lot of young people today say, “I’m in love!” after just a few weeks of talking. Some rush into relationships because of feelings, pressure, or fear of being left behind. But if we look at the Bible, Jacob and Rachel’s story shows us what real love looks like.

Jacob loved Rachel so much that he worked 7 years for her. But when he was tricked and married to Leah instead, he didn’t give up. He worked another 7 years just to be with Rachel. In total, Jacob waited 14 years for the one he truly loved. And the Bible says those years felt like only a few days because of his love for her.

Now let’s be honest: how many of us today are willing to wait? Many can’t even wait a few months before calling someone “the one.” Many get into relationships just for “kilig,” and when the feelings fade, they jump to the next one. That’s not love, that’s selfishness.

If you can’t wait, maybe it’s not love. Maybe it’s just desire.

If you can’t control your emotions, maybe it’s not God’s plan, but just your impatience.

True love is not cheap, not instant, not shallow. True love is patient. True love honors God’s timing. True love does not pressure you to sin.

Young people, don’t destroy your future by forcing love today. Learn from Jacob: true love waits, true love sacrifices, and true love honors God.

Because if it’s real, you don’t have to rush, it will last. ❤️

DANGEROUS TYPE OF ANGER

The most dangerous type of anger isn’t the loud, explosive kind. It isn’t the shouting, the screaming, or the public display of rage. The most dangerous anger is the kind that builds silently inside someone with a good heart.

See, people with good hearts are patient. They forgive easily, they overlook mistakes, and they give chances long after others would have walked away. They absorb pain quietly, telling themselves, “Maybe it was just a mistake,” or “Maybe they didn’t mean it.” They convince themselves to keep loving, to keep showing up, to keep giving.

But here’s the truth: every good heart has a limit. Every time they’re hurt, a storm begins to build inside. It doesn’t erupt right away—it brews. It collects all the betrayals, all the lies, all the disappointments. And when that storm finally reaches its breaking point, the explosion isn’t just anger—it’s final.

That’s what makes it dangerous. When a good-hearted person finally gets angry, it isn’t about revenge or petty arguments. It’s about being done. And when they’re done, it’s over for good. No second chances. No coming back. No fixing what you broke.

People often mistake kindness for weakness, patience for naivety, forgiveness for foolishness. But when that patience runs out, when that kindness dries up, when that forgiveness no longer feels deserved—what you face isn’t just anger. It’s the quiet destruction of a heart that once held you with love.

So never underestimate a good heart. Respect it, cherish it, and value it. Because if you push it too far, you won’t just see anger—you’ll experience the loss of something rare.

And trust me, there’s nothing more dangerous than the anger of someone who only ever wanted the best for you.

"यतो धर्म: ततो कृष्ण: यत: कृष्ण: ततो जयः"

"Yato Dharma: Tato Krishna: Yato Krishna: Tato Jaya:"

This verse beautifully conveys that where there is righteousness (dharma), there is Krishna, and where there is Krishna, victory is assured. Dharma isn't just about rituals; it's about truth, justice, and living with integrity. Lord Krishna's life exemplifies this principle. He always stood for truth and righteousness, taking decisive action against evil. In the Mahabharata, he gave this message to the Pandavas—that by following the path of dharma, victory is inevitable.On this auspicious occasion of Krishna janmashtami, let us take inspiration to prioritize truth, duty, and righteousness in our lives. When we walk the path of dharma, Krishna's grace will be with us, leading us to success and fulfillment.

HOME WITH OUT PEACE

💔 “The worst prison in the world is a home without peace.” These powerful words remind us that no matter how successful, rich, or famous you are, true happiness comes from the peace within your own home. 🏡✨ A relationship without respect, love, and understanding can drain your soul more than any external struggle. That’s why choosing the right partner is one of the most important decisions of life. ❤️ People often chase beauty, money, or status, but in the end, it’s peace of mind and emotional security that matter the most. 🌹 Don’t rush into relationships just to fill a void. Take your time, understand the person, and see if they bring calmness to your storm. ⚡ Because when a home loses its peace, it turns into a prison where even freedom feels like chains. 🕊️ Choose wisely, love deeply, and protect your peace at all costs. 🖤 # #LifeWisdom

10 LESSONS FROM GEORGE ORWELL'S 1984

1. On Controlling Truth

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

→ Lesson: Control over history is control over destiny.

2. On Surveillance

“Big Brother is watching you.”

→ Lesson: Constant surveillance crushes freedom and breeds self-censorship.

3. On Language and Thought

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?”

→ Lesson: Limit language, and you limit imagination and dissent.

4. On Propaganda

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

→ Lesson: Repetition of contradictions can make lies feel like truth.

5. On Fear and Control

“In the face of pain there are no heroes.”

→ Lesson: Fear can break even the strongest spirit.

6. On Reality

“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.”

→ Lesson: When minds are manipulated, reality itself is altered.

7. On Conformity

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

→ Lesson: Blind conformity ensures perpetual oppression.

8. On Power

“The object of power is power.”

→ Lesson: Totalitarian regimes seek power for its own sake, not for the people.

9. On Memory and Truth

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

→ Lesson: When truth is denied, obedience replaces reality.

10. On Resistance

“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”

→ Lesson: Awareness and action must awaken together for real change.

FRIEND

If you have a friend like this, you're so lucky...

Some friends go beyond companionship—they become family. They aren’t just the people you laugh with or share good times with. They’re the ones who show up when things fall apart, who stay when everyone else walks away. They’re the steady hands that catch you when you stumble, the voices of reason when your world feels like it’s spinning out of control.

These friends see you. Really see you. They know your flaws, your fears, your insecurities—and they love you anyway. They don’t try to fix you or change you; they simply accept you for who you are, in every messy, beautiful piece. They’re the people who show up at your door with comfort food when your heart is broken, who send that text at just the right time, who somehow always know when you need them—even if you haven’t said a word.

They remember the little things: your favorite song, the name of your childhood pet, how you take your coffee. And in doing so, they remind you that you matter—that your existence has left a mark, and that someone out there treasures your presence in their life.

True friendship isn’t about convenience. It’s not about always agreeing or being perfect. It’s about staying—especially when it’s hard. It’s about choosing each other again and again, through seasons of change, through loss and growth, through misunderstandings and silence.

These are the people who celebrate your victories like they’re their own, who cry when you cry, who believe in your dreams when even you begin to doubt them. They challenge you to grow, to rise, to be better—but never in a way that makes you feel less than. With them, you feel safe, understood, and most of all—loved.

So if you have a friend like this, cherish them. Tell them what they mean to you. Don’t take their presence for granted. Because in a world full of temporary connections and fleeting moments, a bond like this is rare. And it’s priceless.

If you have a friend like this… you’re not just lucky. You’re blessed.

HONESTY

I respect an honest person, I don't care how bad the truth hurts. Keep it real with me.

Honesty is a rare gift in a world full of masks, façades, and half-truths. There’s immense strength in someone who can speak the truth even when it’s inconvenient, even when it cuts deep, and even when it risks conflict or rejection. It takes courage to be transparent, to share reality without sugarcoating, to stand firm in integrity even when everyone else is playing the game of pretending. That courage is something I can never take lightly.

I’d rather face a harsh reality than live in comforting illusions. Lies may feel easy, they may seem harmless, but they erode trust, break connections, and leave a hollow space where real relationships should exist. An honest person doesn’t just communicate facts—they show respect, they show awareness, they show care. They understand that truth, though uncomfortable at times, is the foundation of meaningful interaction and lasting respect.

There’s beauty in the raw, unfiltered moments when someone dares to speak openly. Those who can tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, are priceless. They challenge you, they push you, and they help you grow. They refuse to dilute reality to protect egos or avoid discomfort. That’s the kind of authenticity that builds strength, trust, and a deep sense of connection.

So yes, keep it real with me. Say what needs to be said, no matter how hard it lands. I’ll take the honesty, the integrity, and the courage over empty flattery any day, because truth is not just a word—it’s a way of living, and it’s something I honor and respect above all else.

PITHRU PAKSHA

What is Pitru Paksha?

Pitru Paksha, the fifteen-day period devoted to honoring ancestors, is often seen as uniquely Indian, but the impulse behind it is universal. Long before Christianity and Islam, many cultures across the world—Zoroastrian, Arabian, African, South American—kept rituals of remembrance. It is natural to express gratitude to the past, to act with awareness in the present, and to shape blessings for the future. Honouring those who shaped us is an instinctive human way of saying thank you.

The epics and history illustrate this duty vividly. In the Mahabharata, Kunti carried for a lifetime the secret that Karna was her firstborn. She concealed it from Bhishma, Vidura, her husband, and her sons. Yet after Karna’s death, while the Pandavas offered tarpana for fallen warriors, she could not contain the truth; she asked Yudhishthira to offer water to Karna as well. The revelation shocked everyone, but it underscored a deeper point: tarpana to one’s dead is a responsibility that even the heaviest personal secrets must yield to. A stark historical counterpoint appears in the Mughal court. Shah Jahan, imprisoned by Aurangzeb, lamented on his deathbed that Hindus offer water to the dead, while his own son would not even give water to his living father. From within a different religious framework, he recognized the wisdom of ancestral offerings.

The philosophical ground for this practice is broad and deep. The Upanishads teach that all worship is ultimately directed to Brahman. Ancestral worship participates in that order. Time itself unfolds in two great arcs: Dakshinayana, the southern course associated with the Pitrs, and Uttarayana, the northern course associated with the Devas. Pitru Paksha falls during Dakshinayana and represents a systematic, devotional, methodical, and even scientific channel the sages created to express gratitude.

The Mahabharata also shows how devotion and ancestral duties are harmonized. As Bhishma prepared to depart this world, Krishna brought the Pandavas and Kunti to him in festive dress, not to distract him from devotion, but to honor the bonds of relationship that also matter within dharma. Later, when Narada informed Yudhishthira that his father Pandu was stalled in Pitrloka, Yudhishthira performed the Rajasuya sacrifice to help him progress. Krishna himself arranged it. The message is that even the greatest devotees balance love of God with obligations to their forebears.

Sanatana Dharma articulates this balance through four debts: pitri-rina, the debt to ancestors; rishi-rina, the debt to sages and knowledge; deva-rina, the debt to the gods; and bhuta-rina, the debt to all beings and nature. To neglect any one weakens the pillars of civilization. Prahlada, wholly devoted to Lord Nrisimha, still performed shraddha for his father Hiranyakashipu, and Nrisimhadeva instructed him to do so. The example is meant to be permanent.

The Ramayana and Bhagavatam echo the same heart. When the noble vulture Jatayu died, Rama performed the last rites in the forest with whatever lay at hand—some fruit, some water. It is not ritual grandeur but sincerity that sanctifies the act. In the first chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, Arjuna fears that war will end family traditions and that neglect of ancestral rites will harm both the dead and the living. Krishna does not dismiss Arjuna’s concern; he only corrects his decision not to fight. The value of these rites remains intact.

Cosmic time itself seems to honor the rhythm of gratitude. On Makara Sankranti the sun turns northward, from Dakshinayana to Uttarayana, and the tradition imagines the Lord as Surya shifting his attention from the Pitrs to the Devas. The cycles of the heavens thus mirror the cycles of human remembrance.

अन्नदानात् परं दानं न भूतेषु विद्यते । पितॄन् तु तुष्ययत्येव तेन लोकः प्रतीयते ॥ (गरुड पुराण, प्रेतकल्प 10.6)

"There is no gift higher than the gift of food. By offering food in charity, the ancestors are truly satisfied, and one attains the higher worlds."

At its core, shraddha means an act done with faith. If an ancestor suffers in lower realms, prasada offered in their name can uplift them. If they abide in Pitrloka, it speeds their progress. If they are liberated, they bless the descendants who remember them. In every case someone benefits: the departed, the living who perform the rite, and those who come after.

Shraddha is usually performed by the son or another male in the paternal line, but daughters or women may do so if sons are absent or by family tradition. Local customs and the family priest typically determine who performs the ritual. The shastras advise offering Annadana Seva and contributing to Gau Seva during Pitru Paksha. These charitable acts are said to benefit ancestors and bring health, peace, and prosperity to families.

Pitru Paksha is therefore not superstition but a carefully framed remembrance that integrates devotion to God, duty to ancestors, care for society, and gratitude to nature. Whether we see it in Kunti’s anguish or Rama’s simple offering, one message emerges clearly: gratitude is the essence, ritual its expression, and together they sustain both lineage and civilization.

A TRIBUTE TO NEERAJA BHANOT ON HER DEATH ANNIVERSARY

On 5th September 1986, the world witnessed an act of unmatched bravery when Neerja Bhanot, a 23-year-old flight attendant, sacrificed her life while protecting passengers during the Pan Am Flight 73 seizure in Karachi. At such a young age, she showed extraordinary courage, guiding passengers to safety, hiding passports to protect Americans, and standing fearlessly in front of a threat until her very last breath.

For her heroism, Neerja Bhanot was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award. Even decades later, her story continues to inspire millions, reminding us that true courage is about selflessness and humanity.

Neerja is not just remembered as a brave flight attendant but as a symbol of India’s courage, sacrifice, and resilience. Her legacy lives on, teaching generations the value of compassion and bravery in the face of adversity.

Just remembering on her death ceremony doesn't make it all.Her sacrifice is demanding her worth.There should be an airport or atleast a terminal in her name to remind people generation after generation about her sacrifice.

I think we should have a subject in our school syllabus.... 

Know your legacy 

The book will dedicate 1 chapter to all our heroes those who showed exemplary courage, determination, a zeal to succeed, to live their dreams, to fight for the nation.

That book will embibe patriotism & a will bring about sea change in the way students think, & strive to achieve their dreams.

This bravery, selfless sacrifice, and dedication to duty need to be included in our curriculum. Let the new generation know the power of the country's women. Only then will we truly pay tribute to Neerja Bhanot.

DEAR GOD UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM

Dear God, kindly update your system — it’s running on prehistoric settings.

Look around, and you’ll see your cosmic algorithm behaving like this:

The one who cheats, lies, grabs land — somehow ends up with a bungalow, luxury car, and Z-plus security.

The honest worker who toils day and night? He’s still counting coins for bus fare.

The man spreading injustice lives like a king; the victim spends life proving his innocence.

One fellow files a false case, becomes a TV celebrity. The poor guy defending himself becomes a ‘suspect’ for life.

The corrupt contractor bags all government tenders; the sincere one shuts shop because he won’t bribe.

The lazy fellow who never studied lives off inherited wealth; the topper struggles to get an interview call.

The scamster launches “charity foundations”; the real charity worker can’t raise enough to buy chalk for kids.

The bully becomes “influential”; the kind soul is labelled “weak.”

The person who plays office politics gets the promotion; the quiet performer gets the pink slip.

The fraud baba with flashy robes has millions of followers; the saint who actually meditates sits ignored under a tree.

And when we ask why, the standard customer-support reply comes:

“Sanchit Karma… Prarabdha… old balance sheet of past lives.”

Really, God? This feels like an outdated banking system where cheques take seven births to clear. Meanwhile, sinners are getting instant credit!

Time for an upgrade, don’t you think?

How about:

Real-time karma processing — do wrong today, consequences by evening.

Fraud detection alerts — lie on oath, and boom! Instant network error.

Merit auto-credit — help the needy, and watch your happiness balance rise immediately.

Because right now, your delayed-justice model is giving people all the wrong signals. Villains think they’re untouchable, and good people wonder if you’re on vacation.

No disrespect, but… maybe it’s time for a cosmic software patch. “GodOS 2.0 — Now With Instant Karma™.”

MOON TURNS RED

7 September 2025 — When the Moon Turns Red and the Ancestors Arrive

On the evening of 7 September 2025, the Earth will cast its shadow across the Moon.

A total lunar eclipse , a Blood Moon , will unfold, visible across India and much of Asia.

And on this very day, Pitru Paksha , the sacred fortnight of Shraddha , begins.

Two great cycles converge:

The shadow of Rahu on Chandra (Moon) in the sky.

The descent of the Pitris (ancestors) to receive our offerings on Earth.

This is no ordinary overlap. Astrology calls it a karmic trigger point, a time when unseen debts surface and long-forgotten patterns return to be resolved.

Astronomical Facts — The Eclipse Itself

Type: Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon).

Duration of Totality: Around 82 minutes — one of the longest of the decade.

Sutak Kaal (ritual inauspicious period): Begins about 9 hours before the eclipse (~12:56 PM IST) and ends when the Moon emerges from Earth’s shadow (~12:22 AM IST).

Visibility: Across all of India, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia.

The Spiritual Context — Pitru Paksha Opens

Pitru Paksha is the fortnight when ancestors visit the earthly plane.

From 7 September to 21 September 2025, Shraddha rites — Tarpan, Pind Daan, and charity , are performed to grant peace to departed souls and blessings to the living.

This year, the opening day itself falls under Chandra Grahan (lunar eclipse) , a rare alignment.

It suggests that ancestral karmas, family patterns, and old emotional bonds may rise more vividly to the surface.

What Astrology Foretells

1. Emotional High Tide

The Moon governs mind and emotions. When Rahu shadows it, deep-seated fears, unresolved grief, or hidden desires may surface.

Since this coincides with Purnima Shraddha, people may feel more introspective, nostalgic, or even restless.

2. Karmic Signals from Ancestors

Rahu amplifies the voices of the unseen.

Dreams, sudden memories, or recurring thoughts about family members — living or departed — may be messages asking for recognition or healing.

3. A Time to Resolve Old Debts

Astrologically, Rahu’s eclipse over the Moon urges people to settle pending duties toward elders or family lines.

Performing Shraddha, charity, or even simple prayers during Pitru Paksha lightens ancestral karmas.

4. Energy of Transformation

Lunar eclipses always mark closure and renewal.

Since this eclipse opens Pitru Paksha, the focus is on closing inherited cycles — habits, grudges, unspoken words passed through generations.

5. Financial & Relationship Themes

The Moon also rules home, mother, nourishment; Rahu’s influence can create temporary instability in family matters or finances.

Avoid major decisions or emotional confrontations on this day. Let it pass in quiet reflection.

What Should One Do on 7 September 2025?

Before Sutak (before ~12:56 PM IST):

Complete Shraddha rites, food offerings, or Tarpan rituals early in the day.

Feed cows, crows, dogs, or the needy — a traditional way of honouring Pitris.

During Sutak and Eclipse:

Avoid eating or cooking. Keep a spiritual atmosphere at home.

Recite mantras such as “Om Pitra Devaya Namah” or “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.”

Meditate on your ancestors with gratitude rather than fear.

After the Eclipse (post 12:22 AM IST):

Take a ritual bath and cleanse your altar.

Offer water to ancestors and light a diya (lamp).

Donate food or essentials the next morning; charity during Pitru Paksha neutralises karmic shadows.

The Rare Double Eclipse in Pitru Paksha

Lunar Eclipse on 7 September (start of Shraddha).

Solar Eclipse on 21 September (Sarva Pitru Amavasya — the final day).

Both ends of Pitru Paksha are marked by eclipses — a cosmic bracket.

It signifies a powerful ancestral call: a reminder to honour where we came from, heal what we carry, and clear the path for those who come after us.

The Deeper Message

When the Moon turns red in the sky, it is as if the unseen world is illuminated for a brief moment.

Pitru Paksha opens a door — the eclipse holds up a mirror.

It asks:

What patterns am I repeating from my lineage?

What blessings have I forgotten to thank them for?

What burdens is it time to release?

Astrology advises introspection, not fear.

This is not a curse in the heavens, but a reminder from them — to complete, to heal, to let go.
