Indian boards v/s international boards-
I recently attended orientation for international boards like IB and IG. I felt so good about the format but wasn’t sure about the content. The whole approach in the IB board is to let the child think about what he wants to do. There are no structured studies, set theories, or the same content as other boards. They talk about the overall growth of the child. But still lack several life-saving skills or survival abilities.
Whereas Indian boards like ICSC and CBSC still teach the same things, which are so outdated. The info readily available on the Internet is expected for kids to memorise. Maths and science are helpful only if one wants to take any entrance exams in India.
NEP - The New Education Policy hasn’t changed the content nor introduced any new content to choose from. They only changed the format and allowed kids to decide what to study.
Because of international boards, our format has changed. We are trying to copy the Western boards unthinkingly. It’s still better than earlier ones when we were used only to memorise the content and vomit that out in the exam papers and forget them entirely because they are useless in practical life.
So what exactly are our governments of every state doing about the country's education? What we learn in school has absolutely no use in real life. What’s required in real life is not taught anywhere in any school nationwide.
What’s missing-
- life-saving skills like cooking, knowledge of spices, how to use herbs and plant medicine
- life-saving skills like swimming, gardening, farming, and knowledge of practical agriculture
- Emotional health and mental well-being are where one is taught how to manage one's emotions in case of crisis.
- Practical and applied sciences like building substantial houses through physics.
- self-management and money management with the latest investment opportunities
- how to do business - trading and manufacturing
- coding and computer
- grooming and etiquette
- relationship management, people management and responsibility of society
Please share your views on the same.

When they say religious structure, What exactly are they talking about? When it's so clear they are illegal, why is the press scared to mention to whom they belong?
The first thing to do is to educate the media about having the guts to write what is right. Till the bug of secularism is not gone from the core system, any change on the ground will not be visible to the naked eye.
It's time Govt worked on cleaning up the internal system, only having good intentions doesn't work. Only having passion and having a good and clean reputation doesn't work. No matter what progressive actions one takes, till the ground is clear those skyscrapers will collapse by volunteeringly ready-to-die kind of people. Hope my message is clear to my audience.
Let Hinduism become a business that flourishes from this level to another level. It should be visible from childhood through toys, books, binders and activity sheets. Let designers, printers and distributors ear out of it.
The next level should be part of the school curriculum as core studies. Let teachers and schools earn out of it. Let’s make it legit to earn.
Let’s get out of this charity mindset to spread the knowledge of the scriptures. After spending 20 years working on it, I realised that people don’t care when it’s free. To make it look precious, it should be quoted as precious.
I am on the path to changing my approach and have decided to start from scratch.
When a non-Hindu scholar presents even mediocre theory from Vedic Scriptures, it gets accepted, but does any Indian presenting a well-researched paper based on facts take time till eternity?
Even in the case of such a field, we are suffering from white man syndromes. Do we forget that no matter how well the topic is researched, someone who lives this lifestyle every day would have an upper hand in explaining the same theory, with much more conviction and experience?
Let’s support every tiny small researcher and supporters who want to work on various theories from our scriptures.

Happy Independence Day to all my FB friends.
Hope we achieve CAA, UCC, removal of 30A, removal of Waqf, free temples, change education boards.
Hope Modiji completes these tasks.
Don’t know who else can dare to do it like him.
Why do BJP and RSS end up creating monsters out of nowhere?
Swami Avimukteshwaranandji is the classic case. He should have been respected as the representative of Shankrachsrya Ji; it doesn't matter if his guru Ji supported Congress. Half of India voted for Congress for fifty years. So what? The idea is to convert them into BJP supporters and voters. Instead, they pushed him to the wall, and he had no choice but to support the wrong guys openly.
Same with Maha politics by bringing Ajit Pawar, disappointed BJP supporters.
It's the same in UP, giving tickets to non-performers.
In Rajnath Singh Ji's case, Ditto's earlier comments by Nadda Ji and now Nadkariji.
Ditto is the case for certain corporate houses. When I heard these stories, I was shocked. Most corporate giants didn't want the BJP to get 400 because of their earlier unfair demands from big houses. I understand that politicians always ask for funds from corporations, but there has to be a limit, which should be reciprocated.
I hope RSS, BJP and all allies work together for the next election. We need Hindu parties to work together to keep our dharma alive.

Ambani weddings-
These two pics have won my heart all over again.
First of all, those who have been commenting on this wedding, please tell me how many of you have donated cows during your weddings.
How many of you have seen relatives doing the same in metro cities?
Do you even donate a small silver toy cow during the wedding, as given in our scriptures? ( it says that when you can't donate the cows, donate a miniature of the same).
They did it. Looking at those tiny, cute cows, I was almost in tears. I can’t believe what I saw.
Second pic-
I have never seen any modern weddings where any Shankaracharya ji or Swami Rambhadracharya ji get invited. Ramdev Baba and many other spiritual gurus are often seen at such weddings.
The last pic of Modiji-
Finally, it was a relief to see him as politically it was necessary. Or else, I mostly saw the India brigade in this wedding. Many of them are far lefties and threats to our borders and society.
After all, it is business; we have to keep everyone happy. I mean all politicians.
Looking for Publishers for Hindu books-
Can anyone recommend a publisher who can republish my books?
I am sick and tired of Notion Press from Chennai, whose executives never supported any tasks I would ask for. It's been more than five years, but I have never gotten a satisfactory answer from them.
I finally had no choice but to believe that all the executives I dealt with belonged to only one community. Hence, they will never allow any such books of Hinduism to get help.
I even asked to change the executive handling my case, but they refused.
Please suggest a publisher with a worldwide distribution network.

Two more sessions in the state of Arizona. One more concern I identified is that many students who came here to do their masters subconsciously subscribed to the theories of lefties and other media houses. Let me list them down for others to ponder over and learn from.
- They think strongly that the British and Mughals destroy our knowledge.
- What we have now is just a few fragmented pieces of knowledge that can't be taught or practised as one whole study.
- we can't live on the past glory. Our scriptures are our past and not present.
- we don't have enough written prooves to establish any theories coming from scriptures.
Requesting all my friends to comment on it and let me know how to counter these arguments.

USA trip- Different cities and different states. It’s fun to connect with NRIs living in the US. Most of them have a similar complaint- how to make kids understand India and make them indian?
Well, solution lies in living that lifestyle every moment. Leave America outside the house. The moment you enter your home, just be yourself.
