Sine when did Mughlai biriyani get served in Ramayana ???
This is why I hated the decision of Namit and Nitesh to take AR Rahman to compose music for Ramayana He bought Urdu music into CHHAVA and destroyed the movie or else it would have become the biggest blockbuster movie And even after getting so much trolled for it, he couldn’t stop bringing Sufi music into Ramayana I donno how director accepted this

Today is Meeranai Jayanti ? Sharing this wonderful piece about her devotion. ‘Mirabai who looked at Krishna as her husband, her focus and intensity of emotion and thought became so intense that Krishna started becoming a reality for her. After her husband died, Mira was accused of adultery. At that time, the punishment for adultery was death. So in the royal courts she was given poison to drink. She said “Krishna” and she drank it and walked away. They expected her to die but she flourished and blossomed. Many such situations have happened because devotion is that which is devoid of you’.— Sadhguru

Sorry for the typo — it’s Meerabai. But she is like a mother to us all, so I guess “Anai” which means “mother” in Tamil, is fitting too. ☺️

Why must an empowered woman embrace masculinity to be taken seriously? Why can’t she be successful, strong, and unapologetically feminine? 🌿 @ShefVaidya Ms Vaidya’s video makes a striking point. Watch till the end!

Yup. That’s what we are reviving. We had been conditioned to think otherwise.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas shines at the 6th annual Academy Museum Gala, carrying the Indian gesture of greeting, Namaste, with her. 🙏❤️ In yogic tradition, Namaskar (or Namaste) is more than a greeting. It is a simple form of yoga — a gesture of union that helps harmonise the inner dualities of body and mind.

When you think beyond yourself for larger good #Bharat #gratitude
In Kabul, an unarmed Army doctor attacked a suicide bomber and held him in a grip until his explosive vest went off. His name was Major Laishram Jyotin Singh. He was from Bishnupur, Manipur, and was a doctor in the Army Medical Corps. In February 2010, he was sent to Kabul to work with the Indian medical team. He had been there for only 13 days. At around 6:30 a.m. on 26 February 2010, suicide attackers stormed the secured compound where Indian officials were staying. A car bomb explosion at the main gate killed three security personnel. A terrorist then entered the compound, firing into rooms and throwing grenades. Five unarmed officers were hiding in one room when a grenade landed there. The fire spread to a bathroom where five other officers were hiding. After crawling out of the rubble of his own room, Jyotin Singh heard the screams of those officers. He was unarmed, but he still attacked the terrorist with his bare hands and pinned him to the ground. He held him down until the terrorist detonated his suicide vest. Both died. Jyotin Singh was 37 years old. According to the Ministry of Defence, his supreme sacrifice saved the lives of 10 of his colleagues. On 26 January 2011, he was awarded the Ashoka Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry award.

Garbha means Womb. Watch the video . There is reason behind this dance and celebration
Garbha means womb. The dance in concentric circles mirrors the cycle of life-birth, death, and rebirth,revolving around the Garbha Deep (the divine light). We dance to remind ourselves: the world changes, but the Divine at the center remains infinite. 🪔🌀 #Garba #Navratri

Devi is Prakruti, the Creation - she manifests herself in different ways through artists like Pradip Kumar! Happy Navratri everyone 😍🙏
What if the leaves we sweep away could become the star of a Durga Puja celebration? Artist Pradip Kumar Ghosh Bhashkar from Dhubri, Assam, is giving discarded coconut leaves a new life through art, turning what many consider waste into something worth admiring. For years, he has experimented with unconventional materials, from sugarcane waste to discarded household items, showing how everyday waste can become a canvas for creativity. This Durga Puja, his work brings together artistic imagination and sustainability, reminding us that sometimes, all it takes to create something extraordinary is a fresh way of looking at what we throw away. #DurgaPuja #EcoFriendlyDurgaPuja #SustainableArt [Pradip Kumar Ghosh Durga Puja idol, Durga Puja eco-friendly art in Assam, Durga idol made from coconut leaves]

Happy Navaratri, 🙏🌺 Devi, the Goddess, takes many forms — a young, playful girl; a radiant young woman in her shringar; a compassionate mother; and a fierce protector. This beautiful song by Arijit Singh seems to embrace all these forms of the Divine Feminine -Maa Jai Bhairavi 🙏❤ Linga Bhairavi Shayana Arati | Arijit Singh | Sounds of Isha youtu.be/yp0bZDSm05Q?si=nByH…
