Karva Chauth 2026 falls on Thursday, October 29. The fast starts at sunrise, 6:40 AM, and breaks at moonrise, around 8:39 PM. Puja muhurat is 6:06 PM to 7:21 PM. Those are the timings every site will tell you. What they will not tell you is this: Karva Chauth is now a Rs 28,000 crore economic event. And…
If you are wondering whether you are meditating correctly, you are asking one of the most searched meditation questions in the world. An analysis by Art of Living found “how do I know if I’m meditating correctly” drew around 35,000 searches a month globally, second only to “what is meditation” itself. Thirty-five thousand people a…
The day starts at half past three in the morning. There is no alarm on a phone, because there are no phones. There is no light switch, because there is no electricity. Someone lights an oil lamp, and by that light about eighty people get up in the dark and walk to the temple. This…
Mahasamadhi is a yogi’s conscious departure from the body at death. The word means great absorption, and the tradition holds that a realised being chooses the moment rather than submitting to it.

Rudraksha has one of the more unusual evidence profiles in Indian traditional medicine. There is a real peer-reviewed literature on Rudraksha benefits, going back to at least 1979, published in journals like Phytochemistry and Phytotherapy Research. There is also a set of claims about electromagnetic fields, dynamic polarity and blood pressure regulation that appear on almost every page…
There are more than 170 Vipassana centres worldwide. England has them. So do the United States, Germany, Australia and most of Europe. The course is identical at all of them. Same technique, same ten day structure, same recorded discourses from S.N. Goenka, same schedule starting at four in the morning. Nothing about the teaching improves…
Isha Kriya costs nothing. No course fee, no registration, no completion program, no initiation. Twelve minutes, a recording, and a floor. That is unusual enough in this field to deserve scrutiny rather than enthusiasm. Free things are not automatically good, and the absence of a price tag is not evidence of anything. Two published studies…
Yoga nidra for sleep makes an unusual promise. Lie down, stay still, follow a voice for twenty minutes, and arrive somewhere between waking and sleep that leaves you more rested than a nap. The claims made for it are equally unusual. A 65 percent increase in dopamine. Thirty-five percent less cortisol. Rest equivalent to hours…
Something is happening that you cannot explain. A warmth moving up your spine. Sudden waves of emotion with no obvious cause. Sleeplessness despite exhaustion. A feeling that the world you knew is rearranging itself beneath your feet. You search for a medical explanation and find nothing. You search for a spiritual one and find these…
If you have ever seen Guru Purnima referred to as Vyasa Purnima and wondered whether they are the same day or two different festivals – they are the same day. One name comes from the yogic tradition. The other from the Vedic tradition. Both point to the same full moon in July, and together they…
