In India there is a tradition that when the time to die comes, you should not be among your family, you must always move away. This may sound strange.
In Western cultures, you want the entire family to be there But, in India when the time to die comes, you must move away from your family, because if you are with your family, you will continue your psychological drama, thinking that is the ultimate drama in your life.
1/5

When people realized they are past a certain age and within the next year or two they may pass, they would walk all the way to a sacred space by themselves to die. They did not want their relatives, children, or spouse around them, because they wanted to realize that all these things are just arrangements that you make for your comfort and convenience here; this is not ultimate nature of life.
2/5

The ultimate nature of life is that you are born alone and you will die alone. Even if all of us crash in airplane and die together, we are not dying together. We are dying alone. Individual life needs to deal with itself the way it is. You cannot deal with it in groups.

Yesterday, my son came running from the school, absolutely bursting with excitement.
“We have holiday tomorrow,” he said.
“One more holiday? But why?” I asked, somewhat irritated.
“It’s Karkidaka Vavu tomorrow,” he replied.
“What? Say again?” I blinked.
“Karkidaka Vavu…” he shouted, then grinned, “Google it!”
🧵1.

🌘It is a significant day observed in Kerala, to honor departed ancestors. It falls on the Amavasya (new moon) day in the Malayalam month of Karkidakam.
🌘It’s comparable to Pitru Paksha observed in other parts of India, where families pay homage to their forefathers.
🌘Devotees gather at riverbanks, beaches, and temple ghats—to perform Bali Tharpanam, a ritual involving offerings of rice balls (pindam), sesame seeds, tulsi leaves, and water.
🌘Participants often fast or eat only simple vegetarian meals, and the rituals are conducted barefoot, emphasizing humility and purity.

Many say, “ what's the point of making offerings n doing elaborate rituals for the dead. Just treat them well while they are alive. Why do something mainly out of fear once they are gone?” while I agree that we have to treat the older generations well while they are alive, do these rituals-deep rooted in our culture are of no significance?

The Mahabharat war was not about justice or social reform. It was a cosmic self-destruct mechanism—nature’s way of restoring balance when one group grows too powerful.
These two minutes 🧵 will change the way you perceived the outcome of Mahabharata war.
1/

Take a step back from moral lensing and observe how nature functions:
🌿 Nature isn’t fair. It’s biased towards balance, not equality.
We see this in ecosystems, where predator and prey exist in tension. If either side grows too extreme, collapse is inevitable.
2/

Humans mirror this pattern. No two people are alike—physically, emotionally, or intellectually. The idea of a perfectly equal society is poetic, but unrealistic. As long as change exists, so will inequality.

👵🏽 Mother-in-law: The traditional way is the right way — duty, discipline, and devotion!
👰🏽‍♀️ Daughter-in-law: Modern efficiency is the real progress — autonomy, balance, and success!
If you get into the trap of who’s right n wrong, trust me you are screwed up for life...🥴

📜 Anekāntavāda enters the picture here, sipping chai thoughtfully...
"Technically, you’re both right — just from different viewpoints. One’s seeing the teacup, the other’s the saucer — but the chai’s hot either way!" ☕
Wondering what is this Anekāntavāda.🤔
This famous elephant story describes it like no other.
2.

A group of blind men encountered an elephant for the first time. Each touched a different part and described it based on their limited experience:
Side? "It’s like a wall!"
Tusk? "No, it’s like a spear!"
Trunk? "It’s a snake!"
Leg? "Obviously a tree!"
Ear? "It’s a fan!"
Tail? "Clearly a rope!"

I was against “Murtipooja” or “Idol worship”.
Why do people go to a famous temple, stand in que for day n night just to get a glimpse of a particular stone? What is the difference between that stone and any other ordinary stone?
I grew up with such questions in my mind and no one could offer me an answer that made sense to my logical mind. Then I came to know that...
🧵1.

there is something known as ‘consecration’. Now what’s that? It is like this, if you transform mud into food, we call this agriculture. If you make food into flesh and bone, we call this digestion, integration. If you make flesh into mud, we call this cremation. If you can make this flesh or even a stone or an empty space into a divine possibility, that is called consecration.
2.

Today, modern science is telling us that everything is the same energy manifesting itself in a million different ways. If that is so, what we call as divine, what we call a stone, what we call a man or a woman, what we call a demon, are all the same energy functioning in different ways.
For example, the same electricity becomes light, sound and so many other things, depending upon the technology. So, it is just a question of technology. If you have the necessary technology, you can make the simple space around you into a divine exuberance, you can just take a piece of rock and make it into a god or a goddess -this is the phenomenon of consecration.

The Mahābhāratacontains a fascinating dialogue between Yudhiṣṭhira and Bhīṣma Yudhiṣṭhira said: O Bhīṣma (Gāṅgeya), if a pigeon enters and settles in someone’s house, what should be done to bring peace? Please tell me quickly.
Alright! so this pigeon problem existed even then! 😳

युधिष्ठिर उवाच -
कपोतो यदि गाङ्गेय!
निविशत्यालयं नृणाम् ।
कथं शान्तिर्भवेत् तस्य
क्षिप्रमेतद्वदस्व मे ।
1/

The ancient Indian tradition of Vāstu Śāstra and ritual practices encompasses detailed guidance for maintaining harmony between humans and their environment. Among the various omens and their remedies discussed in classical texts, the unexpected entry of a pigeon into one’s home holds particular significance.
2/

The urgency in Yudhiṣṭhira’s request - “tell me quickly” - mirrors the contemporary recognition that pigeon problems require prompt intervention to prevent escalation.
