21 Jun '26 "The case for treating yoga as primarily a physical correction was always weak. Arjuna stood on the battlefield of Kurukshetra as one of the most physically accomplished warriors of his age, trained since childhood in archery and combat, his body in no need of correction. Yet it was to him, not to some unfit or unwell bystander, that Krishna delivered eighteen chapters on yoga. Whatever yoga is, it was never primarily about the body, and a tradition that arrives there has mistaken the address for the resident."

19 Oct '25 "To honour Shri Ram is to cultivate the same grace, doing what is right without bitterness and staying steady in the storm. The lamp outside is just a symbol; the real light has to come from within. When the mind is still, and when truth is more important than comfort, Diwali is no longer a date; it becomes the measure of one’s living."

08 Jun '25 "Every era produces a few who seem not to belong to it. For their contemporaries, their being and expression seems overly bold, too inconvenient, too unsettling. Still, their words transcend centuries, like a wildfire that refuses to be put out."

23 Feb '25 "With Mahashivratri around the corner, many of us find ourselves struggling to discover the actual and deeper meaning of the festival. We wonder: surely there has to be something beyond the rituals and performances. More importantly, it strikes us when we are contemplative: who is Shiv?"

19 Jan '25 "Amrit—that is at the essence of the story behind the Kumbh festival. Where does the Amrit come from? It comes through self-reflection."
The Sunday Guardian
19 Jan '25 "Another Kumbh festival is here. There are several ancient stories behind Kumbh. If the stories are taken merely as tales or folklore, then religion risks becoming merely traditional ritualism."
Rashtriya Sahara
19 Oct '23 आचार्य प्रशांत ने राष्ट्रीय सहारा में लिखा है कि नवरात्रि का समय शक्ति की समझ के लिए उपयुक्त है। वे बताते हैं कि शिव केंद्र और शिव सत्य का मतलब है कि शिव शाश्वत सत्य और शांति का प्रतीक हैं। वहीं, शक्ति जीवन का प्रतीक है, जो जीवन को ऊर्जा और गति प्रदान करती है। आचार्य प्रशांत के अनुसार, नवरात्रि के अवसर पर हमें शक्ति की इस महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका को समझना चाहिए और इसे अपनी जीवन यात्रा में एक मार्गदर्शक के रूप में स्वीकार करना चाहिए।
