  5. Aja Ekadashi has an unusual story. It is not connected with King Aja, Dasharatha's father. Its story centres on King Harishchandra, who gives up his kingdom, wealth and family and eventually works at a cremation ground in Kashi. Rishi Gautama later advises him to observe Aja Ekadashi with devotion to Vishnu as Hrishikesha.

    Have you come across this story before?

  6. Made in India, Built in France: The Temple That Just Made History in Paris

    A Hindu temple just opened in Paris.
    Not a small prayer hall. Not a converted building. A traditionally designed stone mandir — the first of its kind in France and the largest in mainland Europe.
    PM Modi virtually inaugurated the BAPS Swaminarayan Hindu Mandir on September 6, 2026, calling it “a new milestone in the cultural relations between India and France.”
    Here’s why it matters — in quick facts:
    The Temple
    • Location: Bussy-Saint-Georges, near Paris
    • What makes it special: France’s first traditionally designed stone Hindu temple
    • Size: Largest of its kind in mainland Europe
    • Construction stones: Carved in India, shipped to France, assembled with French engineering
    • PM Modi’s line: “Made in India and Built in France”
    The Inauguration
    • Consecrated by BAPS spiritual head Mahant Swami Maharaj with Vedic chanting
    • A grand Nagar Yatra (procession) passed through Paris — going past the Eiffel Tower and ending at Place de la Concorde
    • Visitors from 40+ countries attended a 13-day Festival of Culture
    • Deities consecrated include Akshar-Purushottam Maharaj, Radha-Krishna, Sita-Ram, and Shiva-Parvati
    The 56-Year Journey
    • 1970: The vision was first pledged by Guru Yogi ji Maharaj
    • 2021: Bhumi Pujan (groundbreaking) performed
    • 2022: Shilanyas (foundation stone) ceremony completed
    • 2026: Temple construction completed and consecrated
    • A dream that took 56 years to become reality
    PM Modi’s Message — Key Points
    • Called it a new era in India-France cultural relations
    • Said the temple reflects “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world is one family
    • Recalled the sacrifices of Indian soldiers in France
    • Mentioned French writer Romain Rolland’s writings on Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda
    • Noted Yoga celebrations near the Eiffel Tower as a symbol of growing cultural bonds
    • Highlighted 2026 as the India-France Year of Innovation
    • Expressed hope that the temple’s message of Indian culture will resonate across all of Europe
    Why This Matters for Great India
    This isn’t just about religion. It’s about three things:
    1. Soft power. India’s culture is reaching places it never reached before. From Abu Dhabi in 2024 to Paris in 2026 — Indian civilization is going global, not through conquest, but through craftsmanship and values.
    2. Patience. The vision was pledged in 1970. It took 56 years. That’s a reminder that great things don’t happen overnight — they happen when people commit to something bigger than themselves.
    3. Collaboration. Indian stones. French engineering. A temple that belongs to both nations. This is what the future looks like — not isolation, but partnership rooted in mutual respect.
    A Great India doesn’t just grow economically. It grows culturally. And when a Nagar Yatra passes the Eiffel Tower, the world takes notice.

  8. The Brahma Vaivarta Purana offers a different set of details around Krishna's birth. Radha's quarrel with Sridam leads to curses and Krishna's promise to accompany her to Vraja. Later, Vishnu merges into Krishna, while Yogamaya transfers Balarama from Devaki to Rohini, explaining the name Sankarshana. Which episode interests you most?

  10. Exclusiveness always leads to destruction whereas oneness is the only solution for peace.

    Swami Vivekananda did not just preach oneness-he lived it.

    Though he faced humiliation upon arriving in Chicago, he began his historic address with the words, "Sisters and Brothers of America." Not bitterness, but brotherhood.
