In the ancient court of Hastinapura, Draupadi’s cries echoed through marble pillars while the mighty Bhishma remained silent. Today, in the modern chambers of power, the cries of Gaza echo beneath polished diplomacy and calculated restraint. This is not merely history repeating—it is conscience retreating. The silence of the strong, whether in myth or modernity, is not a void—it is a verdict. And every time those who can act choose not to, a new chapter of injustice is written, signed not in ink, but in blood.

One such teaching is in a Shabad from Raag Sorath, where the Guru explores how inner transformation shapes our understanding of the world. These timeless principles resonate even today, drawing interesting parallels with modern…

Time: The Illusion That Screams in Rhythm

A few nights ago, I was deep in the pit of a metalcore concert—bodies colliding, lights strobing, guitars tearing through the air like lightning. The energy was raw and primal, yet perfectly timed. The crowd wasn’t just reacting; it was breathing, moving, and erupting in sync. Everything was rhythm. Everything was time. And as strange as it sounds, I found myself thinking about Einstein in the…

Sacred Self-Realization

Sikhism and Carl Jung’s philosophy both offer profound insights into the nature of the human psyche, self-realization, and the pursuit of spiritual truth. Although these traditions emerge from different domains—one religious and the other psychological—there is a remarkable resonance between them. Both paths offer a holistic vision of human existence, urging individuals to transcend the limitations of the ego and to connect with deeper truths. By exploring the teachings of Sikhism and the ideas of Carl Jung, we can uncover fascinating parallels between spiritual practice and psychological growth.

The Hard Problem of Consciousness and Wisdom from Sikhism

Consciousness is one of humanity’s greatest mysteries—a phenomenon that lies at the heart of existence yet defies simple explanation. Why do we have subjective experiences? How does awareness arise from the biological processes of the brain? These questions are encapsulated in what philosopher David Chalmers calls the “hard problem” of consciousness. While neuroscience attempts to dissect…

"Where Do You Come From, Where Have You Been, Where Will You Go?"

In the tapestry of spiritual literature, few themes resonate as profoundly as the enduring bonds of friendship interwoven with divine love. Bhagat Namdev Ji’s hymn, rendered in the sacred pages of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, captures the quintessential spiritual narrative through the lens of the legendary friendship between Sudama and Lord Krishna. This relationship emulates the divine’s…

For some, the moon travels

Charting through their zodiac.

For me, moon fondly paces,

Magically through my heart.

There are, but, numerous ways to pray,

To engage in conscientious dialogue,

With the divine in devotion; but there is,

Only one universal language; that of love!

I saw a bird of prey up high in the sky,

Wishing, I could see the world below,

Through it's eyes; gliding majestically.

It flapped it's wings to soar higher still.

A message to me, to open my mind,

Spread the wings of my imagination.

And connect with my consciousness.

I'll soon discover, it's glorious vantage!

War - backward is raw! (Poem)

War – backward is raw! (Poem)

Those who know me on a personal level, always encourage and push me to write more. Creative writing isn’t something that one plans. It is a combination of ‘raw’ emotions, sentiments, pain, feelings, or all of them mixed together for the ink to flow through the pen. I’m not a poet or laureate by any means, but write poems and prose for my own sanity at times. It helps de-stress, as well as,…

Suicide Awareness & Prevention

Suicide Awareness & Prevention

The world population is tending to 8 billion human beings as I write this article. One thing in common amongst all the approximate 7.75 billion human inhabitants of this beautiful planet, is life as we know it. The process of birth, growing up, living and breathing, and finally death. This process has repeated itself from the word go. Whether one places their belief strongly in particular…

Rare Lunar Eclipse of 2021

Rare Lunar Eclipse of 2021

It has been a while since I’ve updated my blog space. Life, it seems is moving at light speed sometimes. As an avid space lover and nature seeker, the year 2021 was a blessing in terms of lunar eclipses. I am exactly a month behind this blog post, as an extremely rare partial lunar eclipse was visible in the North American sky in the early hours of November 19/2021. As they say, better late than…
