The last blog looks at the justice from the lens of Cosmic Principle. It is everpresent, always operating incessantly. The purpose is to “heal” the world! We often say that as any kind of wrongdoing hurts, justice has to heal. I feel like there’s no difference amongst justice, forgiveness, tolerance and love! Justice operates along…

In the last blog, says that the restoration of righteousness should be the outcome of justice. Whereas the restorative justice, or even our traditional punitive justice only tries to fix the bugs or feels like a patchwork at the best. You break the law (a bug), get the punishment under so and so law (fix)…

I think restorative justice is subjective and the criminal traditional justice is somewhat objective, broadly speaking. I think that restorative justice forms a part of preventative tolerance. It’s the government’s tolerance that “allows” this restorative type of justice its place. Governement chooses to create a space for dialogue, healing, and mutual resolution before, or sometimes…

Tolerance is often hailed as a virtue essential for peaceful coexistence, yet I find its relationship with justice and the use of power is complex and sometimes paradoxical. Exploring this interplay reveals two distinct but interconnected forms of tolerance that shape how societies manage conflict, uphold rights, and deliver justice. What Is Tolerance?

We all want to understand what life means. Many people have different ideas and theories to explain it. Finding the meaning can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack!

Drawing loosely on…

Last blog discusses the qualities of Rajas and Tamas and argues that the foundation to acquire these qualities is Fear. It equates Ravana to Rajas and Kumbhakarna to Tamas. Both gunas provoke us to perform adharmik deeds. Vibheeshan is Sattwic. He represents Sattwa Guna. He therefore does everything that dharma dictates him. Unlike his brothers,…

Knowledge, vedas, science, logic, reasoning, intelligence! These all things or qualities were very well present in or very well known to Ravana if you remember. Ravana is also called Dashanana to signify his mastery on the knowledge. Are these qualities or knowledge necessary or helps us to know Rama? Of course not! Otherwise Rama would…

Ramayana is so fascinating that it compels me to think about my interpretations about small stories it contains. Last time we looked at Ahalya story. This time, let us take Shabari’s story. There are a lot of angles through which we can interpret this story. For example, it is an epitome of love, devotion and…

Yesterday, my seven year old daughter asked me to tell the story of Ahalya. I told the story. After that she asked me to tell another story. Her curiosity is immeasurable. However, I asked her some questions and told her to think over them. For example, I asked, Is Gautama Rishi right in cursing her?…
