भक्ति और शाश्वत संबंध की कहानी वृंदावन के इस मोहक शहर में, दैवीय प्रेम और भक्ति की एक चित्रपट घटित हो रही है, जो युगों तक गूंथी रही है। स्थानीय मान्यता के अनुसार, बाहरी स्थानों की लड़कियों को कृष्ण के मोहक आकर्षण से बचने की सलाह दी जाती थी। एक दिन, वृंदावन के कृष्ण के दोस्त को दूसरे गाँव की लड़की से विवाह करना था, जो एक कहानी को जन्म देने वाला परिस्थिति बना दिया। कृष्ण, शरारती पर ध्यान रखने वाले, ने उनके लौटने पर सबसे पहले उनसे मिलने का इरादा जताया। हालांकि, दुल्हन की माँ, "छलिया" के रूप में कृष्ण की प्रचीति से परिचित थी, उसने अपनी बेटी को उसे देखने से बचाने के लिए चेतावनी दी। इस पर, जब कृष्ण नवविवाहितों का स्वागत करने पहुंचे, तो दुल्हन ने अपना चेहरा छुपा लिया, जिससे कृष्ण के दिल में उसे देखने से इनकार का आलंब उत्पन्न हुआ। दिन रात होते गए, और हर बार जब कृष्ण आते, दुल्हन खुद को उनसे बचाती, उनसे मुलाकात करने से इनकार करती रही। फिर गोवर्धन पर्वत की घटना आई, जहां कृष्ण ने सरलता से पर्वत को उठा लिया। उत्सुक, पहली बार दुल्हन ने कृष्ण को उसके दैवी शौर्य में देखा। उस क्षण में, उसके...

In today’s India, a common discussion is the Hindu Renaissance. We often found people debating on it. One is asking people to get united for the protection of Hindus. Another argues that there are no issues like the protection of Hindus, it is all to polarize the masses in the name of religion, after all, Hindus are in majority with about 80% of the population. The plight of Hindus can be seen very clearly, where they are helplessly migrating from their home, or living with the fear of being lynched. Well, it leads to a decent question, “ How a community in the majority can be exploited in a democratic nation?”. Although India was ruled by Islamic invaders and the British for centuries, this question is bound to arise when it comes to the oppression of the majority class in a democratic setup. For once it appears to be a lie but isn’t so. India is a Hindu majority country in identity only, not in consciousness. These Hindus are HINDU in name only. They do not believe in the Hindu way o...

We, being Hindu, always have been in a dilemma about our religious practices. One such practice is temple offerings or donations. It is being followed since ancient ages which makes temples so rich that invaders used to come again and again for looting. Despite all these plunders, this practice followed through ages and continued. But now, this practice is frequently been questioned. Generally, we all find ourselves in this crisis, that, whether to offer fruits to the deity in the temple or feed the hungry outside the temple, to offer milk on the Shivlinga or water to thirsty, to donate in Dan Peti, or help needy and so on. And it is obvious to think upon these issues in the nation with the largest number of poor and hungry people in the world. And it doesn't end here, why spend crores on the temple where a large section of society is deprived of education and health, why not construct a hospital and school or college. These issues are the subject of great debate and discussion, wh...
