  Podcasts have become one of the most powerful ways to create value, influence, and trust in today’s world. If you’re building a business, a craft, or a personal brand, podcasting has become one of the strongest mediums to establish credibility. The real milestone isn’t just getting views—it’s building an identity and reputation so strong that a Prime Minister, CEO, athlete, scientist, or global leader is willing to sit down with you, free of cost, share their perspective, answer your questions, and engage in a meaningful conversation. That’s something even many celebrities and traditional news anchors struggle to achieve consistently. The three people in this picture represent an interesting comparison: the hosts of the two biggest podcasts in India and arguably the biggest podcast in the world. If I were to make an amateur comparison, I’d start with Joe Rogan. He’s an OG of modern podcasting. Starting The Joe Rogan Experience in 2009 gave him a significant first-mover advant...

INSV Kaundinya- What a rare and beautiful feat and masterpiece. Imagine 1600 years ago,5th Century AD, or even before our ancestors sailed in ships, when the whole world knew nothing about it, let alone making it! Apart from walking and carts, maybe, the rest of civilisation was figuring out what to wear! Bharat was advanced, and thanks to the GOI, the Indian Navy, and of course, the mastermind behind recreating it, Sanjeev Sanyal! It’s been the most amazing thing in the 21st Century to witness a ship sail 1600 km for 18 days without an engine from Bharat to Oman! This dumps theory of Vasco da Gama visiting India for the first time through a ship, lol, and dismisses the doubts of chariots in times of Shri Rama and Krishna, the Harappan civilisation! Kudos to the entire team and Jai Hind! Bharat Mata ki Jai #Bharat #INSVKaundinya #IndianNavy #SanjeevSanyal #Ships

There are hardly times when I feel like recommending a series,wednesday is one such one! Not for the wizardry or thrill but because of how close it is to human psyche and how inner life of being! It has all facets of sharpness of intellect, family and societal structure, human emotions, central vital and lower vital desire! Behind all of it also unique ability of Wednesday and her mother Morticia adams, to intuition and accesing parts of psychic being. It is so evident and bht most might misss this part of series due to its wonderful theatrics and music! What is most important is the vital urge which is displayed by Wednesday Adams to get hold of psychic being and its insights, resulting in failure and the perfect non emotional dissection of events and people around her to understand true meaning of the visions and intuitions she recieves. Its amazing to see how the creator or director Tim Burton of the series has got it so spot on, that I found it astonishing unless he too has some ac...

The West has a unique habit of stealing Knowledge from ancient India Knowledge systems, whethere it is Yoga, Ayurveda or Astronomy,and many more. The West that is the west of Bharat,starying from 6th century  Achaemenid Empire (Persia) – 6th–4th century BCE Macedonian Empire (Alexander the Great) – 327–325 BCE Seleucid Empire – 305 BCE Indo-Greek Kingdoms – 2nd century BCE–1st century CE Shakas (Scythians) – 1st century BCE–4th century CE Parthians – 1st century CE Kushan Empire – 1st–3rd century CE Early Medieval Era Huna Empire (White Huns) – 5th–6th century CE Central Asian nomadic tribe; invaded India after destabilising the Gupta Empire.

Temples were looted, idols smashed; Buddhist monasteries such as in Taxila were burned down. Decline of urban life in affected areas due to ...

The Raksha Bandhan you celebrate now resembles the one that has been portrayed in Bollywood movies and rakhi related advertisements ,With the sister tying the rakhi on the brother’s wrist , vows to protect him and vice versa , this picture-perfect rakhi celebrating moments are our rakhi celebrations in a nutshell, but do you know Raksha Bandhan was not just a brother and sister festival. The Itihasa and history of Raksha Bandhan starts with Devi Sachi/Indrani and Indra Deva. Lord Indra, the king of the Devas was in battle with Asuras and Rakshasas , the war continued for many days and many nights, but the Devas were slowly being defeated making Indra Devata anxious and he went for guidance to Deva Guru Brihaspati.

Deva Guru Brihaspati guided Devi Sachi about how this thread should be empowered by the sacred mantras and should be chanted on the Shravana Purnami. Thus, Devi Sachi , Indra’s wife...

The Public Feud between Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and Sri Sri Ravishankar is most likely the outcome of past feud with regards to Rightful Heir/Uchit Adhikari of Jyothir Math i.e. Shankarachrya of Uttarāmnāya Śrī Jyotish Pītham Both Isha Foundation and Art of Living have their history with and association with the same sampradaya, Uttarāmnāya Śrī Jyotish Pītham and Shankarcharya Swami Brahamanad Saraswati. Even in Sadhana Paddhati of both Isha Foundation and Art of Living is similar, in essence they similar kriyas and processes, and if you want to verify it, check the Invocation of Guru Pooja  in both the Art of Living and Isha Foundation. I have been associated with  both organisations Art of Living and Isha Foundation ,because of my karma but do not support this infighting and abusing ,that is happening on both sides. Past feuds and fights resurfacing now at this Jyotisha and Planetary combination is not suprising but both Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev and Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar,...

There are a lot of things in our daily life that we forget in the chaos and rush of modern-day living. What we often forget in our rush ,in hurry of achieving dream goals within a time frame is the human touch and uncertain external situations. When I started my venture, Sri Aurobindo Industries Private Limited, in 2022, I had certain goals and timelines in mind concerning all that I believed was possible to achieve. The mental goal was clear, but I underestimated the amount of time and energy required, the unexpected outer situations/circumstances in life, and the means of achieving goals. On 15th August 2025, it will be two years since I commenced manufacturing and marketing, yet the goals I had set in 2021 still seem far away. One thing I realized is that in the Business plan, the process of goal and timeline setting does not take into account , many external factors over which I as a business owner, have little or no control. There is an ideal business strategy that’s formed as an ...
