We met Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Pournima morning and chatted about Indian and global situation, future and how the logical teachings of Rishis should reach more people to give them inner peace in these turbulent times.

It's an honor and a pleasure to meet a man who radiates calm energy and grace and has done so much for the upliftment of humanity using Aarsha Vidya and Vedic principles! 🙏🕉️🙏

I said months back when Trump spoke about Greenland that it wasn’t just loose talk and that US was serious and would strike a deal in the second half of the year, without a war.

In my assessment, US is serious about Cuba too, but that may require some limited military action, near the end of 2026 or early 2027.

US soft empire will continue to grow, pushing China into a direct conflict towards the end of this decade. India is playing this high stakes game wisely and cautiously.

BTW, best wishes for Radha Ashtami! 🙏🕉️🙏 by @pvr108

Happy 76th birthday to one of Ma Bharati’s favorite children, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji!

Though I predicted some weakness for him during Sept 2025-Sept 2026, next one year is stronger.

He has managed things quite skillfully for India during some pivotal & messy years in the middle of a chaotic & transformational decade for the world. Indians are fortunate to be led by him, even if many of them may not yet realize it.

Wishing him the very best for the coming year! by @pvr108

Best wishes for Ganesha Chaturthi! May Sri Ganesha bless us with wisdom and solid planning & success in all our undertakings!

Whether you are experienced or a newbie, today & next few days are awesome for doing a Ganapathi Homa (use the "simplest" manual at https://vedicastrologer.org/homa/download.htm).

You can also enjoy chanting Ganeshwarashtakam composed by me in metre SudhaDhara (meaning: stream of nectar): https://vedicastrologer.org/slokas/ganeswara.htm

You can enjoy it in audio form too, sung by Sangeetha Seetharaman ji in Madhyamavathi raaga: https://www.smule.com/recording/tanpura-_scale_a-a-scale/3164455606_4890547391 by @pvr108

Best wishes for Sri Krishna Janmashtami!

This night is an excellent time to meditate.

Those who read "Durga Saptashati" may recall this verse:

कालरात्रिर्महारात्रिर्मोहरात्रिश्च दारुणा।
kālarātrirmahārātrirmoharātriśca dāruṇā |

Meaning: [Mother, you are] Kala raatri, Mahaa raatri, Moha raatri and Daaruna raatri.

The night with Sravana Krishna Ashtami active at midnight is Moharatri, the night of divine enchantment. It's tonight!

To complete the list, Deepavali night is Kalaratri of complete dissolution; MahaShivaRaatri night is Maharatri of detachment and bliss; and, Holi night is Daarunaratri/Kruraratri (excellent night to perform, or protect oneself from, abhichara).

Try to meditate tonight! by @pvr108

Bharat is spiritually vibrant & I enjoy doing Homas there. But, nothing beats doing Homa at a place where one has built up energy over years with regular sadhana!

The last Homa of this India trip was a Chandi Homa done at home on Tuesday morning, with only Padmaja and Anna (Swami Sathasivom) around.

May there be many more pleasant Homas on that balcony in coming years! 🙏🔥🕉️🔥🙏 by @pvr108

Namaste friends, I haven't done any videos in the last 3.5 weeks, due to my India trip. I made an exception to do a 1-hr Telugu video with TV99 last Sunday, covering various topics. It was released in 4 parts.

Hopefully, Telugu friends who complained about ignoring my mother tongue & doing videos only in English & Hindi will enjoy it.

I added links to those 4 videos in my playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5fhVsLL_qoZ5EwclaEwTTZmFPBU_9cMr by @pvr108

I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s Bhagyanagar Public Homa. I’ll post some pics later.

At every Homa workshop or public Homa I conduct, at least 4-5 people tell me with gratitude that their lives have been transformed since they started doing regular Homa and/or Tarpana. It’s very gratifying! 🙏

May many many more benefit from the wisdom of Rishis, for spreading a tiny portion of which we’ve been fortunate enough to be used as the instruments! 🙏🔥🕉️🔥🙏 by @pvr108

Back in Hyderabad after much travel. Down to last few days of this India trip.

We didn’t take pictures during most of the temple visits this time. The picture taken in Swamimalai temple in Delhi (established by Swami Chandrasekharendra Saraswati) was an exception.

Only public event left is Saturday’s Public Homa. I’ll see some of you there.

Apologies to friends whose requests to meet couldn’t be honored. Mother willing, there’ll be more (and longer) opportunities in future.

You get great food at small places in India! A couple of notable places on this trip (see pictures) were Karnataka Food Centre in RK Puram, Delhi and Emerald Mithai Shop in Machilipatnam, AP (serving wholesome food grown using ancient methods & seeds while maintaining own goshala). Last picture is with family in native place (Machilipatnam) during a super-short visit. Father’s younger brother is frail, but still intellectually and mentally sharp! by @pvr108
