India as a sublime culture and profound civilisation is the gift of Ma Durga. This pretty much gives us the geographical reference to the land of our country. Barhaspatya Sutra says:- हिमालयं समारभ्य: यावत् इंदु सरोवरं | तं देवनिर्मितं देशं हिंदुस्थानं प्रचक्षते || Starting from Himalayas and extending upto the Indian Ocean is the nation built by Gods, Hindustan. As a contradiction, a few people believe this appearance of 'Hindustan' word in Barhaspatya Sutra is due to the distortion of our scriptures by invaders to suit their agendas, but currently this is what is accessible to us.  A Vishwa Guru of the ancient world, India has been a treasure trove of valuable knowledge. The Indian way of ethical leadership, is what provides it the potential to again become the Vishwa Guru which can lead by example and create a deep impact and inspiration for other nations to follow and make universal harmony possible. As per Vishnu Purana,  उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य: हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् | वर्ष...

The karmakanda of the Vedas includes instructions of rituals. Such rituals are meant to be acts of worship and devotion to the one Reality in its various manifestations. Puja literally translates to adoration or worship. It is considered to be an especially powerful form of worshipping the Divine because it combines physical, verbal, mental, and vibrational aspects of worship. The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9.26 offers a beautiful description of a simple puja in which Lord Krishna says that even a leaf, flower, fruit or water if offered with unconditional love and devotion is sufficient and pleasing to God. Hindu rituals, from the elaborate to the very simple, are conducted both at home and at temples. Rituals include homa or havan, yajna, and puja, all of which draw together all the five senses thereby centering the attention of the devotee performing the ritual and calming the devotee’s heart and mind through adoring focus of the chosen deity (deities) being invoked and worshiped in the r...

Tiger's jaws (Faucaria felina) is a succulent from the Aizoaceae family. The plant forms tight clumps of succulent leaves. Thick, triangular leaves may be elongated or short. The leaf margin is lined with soft, whitish teeth, resembling an animal's jaw.  The lower leaf surface extends past the upper leaf surface at the tip, forming a chin-like structure. Leaf arrangement is opposite, and leaf surface is rough or has white, round tubercles. Yellow, aster-like flowers grow up to 5 cm wide. In Singapore, this species requires air conditioning to survive. Plants that are exposed to hot, humid weather are not likely to flower, may go dormant and eventually die.

Sengol is considered a symbol of Authority, Power and Justice and transfer of power from one ruler to another. The ruler who is handed the Sengol, is supposed to govern in a fair and impartial manner. According to tradition chola kings were coronated in the nataraja temple in chidambaram by deekshidars. This gold coated silver sceptre features an intricately carved ‘nandi’ at the top, is five feet in height, is well known that the majestic Rishabha (bull) adorning this Sengol symbolizes Nandi. Since the Cholas were Shiv Bhakts, the head of Nandi Maharaj is inscribed atop the sceptre.  Rishabha is mentioned as the symbol of power, rule and Dharma in the Rigveda itself, and it is the same idea that gives way to the later Puranic conception of Nandi becoming the Vahana (mount) of Lord Shiva, chief of the Shiva Ganas and also as the primal Guru of the Saiva Agama tradition.  Raja-daṇḍa (राज-दण्ड) or sceptre is a pan-Indian royal tradition with very ancient roots.
