In the Indian Tradition, the true or real identity of man is unrelated to the features of his morphological appearance which is subject to changes under the influence of time. These morphological traits are unreal and the real or true man always exists as a Specific Individual with unchanging Individuality and is associated with the vital, animating principle called Soul. The human Soul is capable of transmigrating across all known human races and ethnicities.

Bharat Darshan – The Goddess Annapurna symbolizes Tridevi
The text lauds the maternal role in human creation and existence, emphasizing the critical concept of maternal cytoplasmic inheritance. The author introduces the “Whole Mother” phrase to represent the Divine Trinity or Three-in-One Concept of Motherhood: Mother as the original source of matter, energy (obtained from food oxidation), and intellect/consciousness. The mother cell, the source of life for all cells, hands down life, energy, and knowledge. It bequeaths functionality for acquiring and distributing energy, and intelligence, via the biological membrane and organelles, like mitochondria. Furthermore, the functionality and distinctive characteristics of every human being result from the unique fusion of maternal attributes and paternal genes. Major emphasis is also placed on the role of cytoplasm, positioning it as the seat of knowledge.
Bharat Darshan – The concept of Forgiveness defines the Indian Identity
The post discusses the diverse belief structures relating to judgement and forgiveness within the Judaeo-Christian and Islamic religions as well as Indian philosophies. While Western faiths promote the concept of a final judgement day, where individuals stand accountable before God, eastern ideology, particularly in India, is shaped by the theory of Karma and the belief in experiencing the consequences of one’s actions over time, without divine intervention. Concepts of forgiveness also contrast, with the West considering it akin to debt release, often through divine pardon, while Indian philosophy embraces ‘KSHAMA’, a guidance for patience, tolerance, and personal responsibility, without seeking divine forgiveness for deeds.
Bharat Darshan -The Fear of Samsara
The article explores the Indian concept of Samsara, describing it as life’s journey, challenging and akin to swimming across an unknown, perilous ocean. This idea, rooted in Indian cultural traditions, induces a fear that motivates people to seek spiritual refuge. Though the fear of the divine plays a significant motivating role in religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Indian traditions teach devotees to be fearless, assuring them of divine protection marked by the ABHAYA HASTA or ABHAYA MUDRA. Indians use names of deities as a shield during the harsh journey of Samsara, which differentiates and defines the Indian identity.
Bharat Darshan – Success with Humility
The post discusses the significance of Lord Ganesha, attributing him with the capacity to hold all knowledge just as an elephant grasps objects with its trunk. It emphasizes the belief that Ganesha removes obstacles and allows the accomplishment of goals. These successes are then viewed as divine blessings rather than solely personal achievements, promoting humility. The concept of living in sync with a cyclical rhythm of sunrise and sunset is introduced. The grand illusion of time leads to the quest for the Absolute and Unchanging reality, which is facilitated by praying to Lord Ganesha. In this quest, the author seeks inspiration from Lord Rama, just as poets Bammera Potana and Valmiki did in their works. The narrative ends with a prayer to the Supreme Lord for protection.
Bharat Darshan – “Proud to be an Indian”
The post centers on the significance of Rani Padmini of Chittorgarh as a symbol of dignity, pride, and courage for India.

Rudra Narasimham, a veteran of the Indian Army and a student of Indian history, discusses his personal experiences, underscoring the exemplary courage exhibited by the Indian army. He expounds on the concept of “essence and existence,” defining man’s essence as what he intrinsically is and existence as his actions. He attributes Rani Padmini’s victory over death to her defending her essence while dissolving her physical existence.
Bharat Darshan – The two-sides of Gandhi’s Leadership
This piece critically examines Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership in India’s struggle for independence and partition. Gandhi is celebrated for nonviolent resistance, yet the author assesses whether his “ahimsa” principle neglected the right to self-defense, especially during violent clashes during partition. The author argues that Gandhi’s response to proposals for partition, India’s subsequent violent separation, and ensuing mass displacement indicate failed leadership. Moreover, the piece re-evaluates the roles of Gandhi, Nehru, and Jinnah during this period. It suggests they lacked authority to accept partition, accuses them of abandonment for not ensuring partition’s peaceful implementation, and questions their underlying adherence to non-violence, citing violence’s necessity for justice and protection.
Bharat Darshan -Gandhi’s Recipe for Self-Defense
This article explores Gandhi’s views on self-defense and violence, focusing on the contrasts in his stance for Muslims and Hindus. Gandhi made a clear distinction between violence imposed by Muslims, who he believed had the right to use force as part of their religious duty, and that endured by Hindus. He advocated for non-resistance by Hindus even under violent attack. Prominently, Gandhi supported the violent Khilafat Movement against the British and Hindus, advocating Muslim dominance despite backlash from some Congress members. Conversely, he disapproved of figures like Subhash Chandra Bose seeking India’s freedom through force.
