Sanātana Dharma reflects a certain darśhana around Jñāna (Jñāna is the realization by direct cognition that in this changing universe there is nothing but Chaitanya that is consciousness, that is of the form of the seer and the seen, pervading all things, that is the same in all) and Bodhā (consciousness). All of Sanātana darśhana moves towards the dissolution of duality, and what dissolves is not duality but the ‘perception’ of duality. Sanātana darśhana is not monistic but is based on oneness of being in and through all differentiations and diversities, where none of the differentiation and diversity is lost in the oneness. The oneness of Sanātana Dharma is not mathematical but ontological, a spiritual experience and realization of Tad Ekam (That One). 

Over the last few years, I've encountered these common questions from Indian citizens about delimitation, something most of us hadn’t even heard of a few years ago. I started writing some short articles about this around a decade ago, and my latest book, “India: Science, Politics, Geostrategy” from Garuda Press, assesses them with the wisdom of hindsight. The essence of my argument is that correct delimitation can occur only if the states of India are roughly equal in size, meaning we have around 75 states, each with a population of approximately two crore.

India: Science, Politics, Geostrategy-Science and Citizenship

Scientists are ordinary men and women who do science, either through teaching, research or both. Before they are scientists, they are citizens of a country and have as much of a say as any other citizen in thinking about, talking about or doing something about what they feel is in the better interest of the country in which they live and work. Scientists vote like other citizens and in this sense they say something about national and local issues, although in anonymity. All this is in accordance with Article 14 of our constitution and is as it should be. 

Scientists are not special folk who do something that is esoteric and totally beyond the understanding of common people and are therefore ‘different’ from others. Thinking on these lines has led to a common perception that because scientists are not like ordinary people, they should not comment on national issues that affect everyone. Many have asked me why I comment on national issues and why I do not ‘stick to my science’ almost implying that I am not qualified to speak about matters that are felt to be outside of my science. 

Evolution of my thought process over 30 years

No two individuals are the same. The thought process of an individual is something that arises from a combination of nature, nurture and individuality and is one of his most intimate and personal possessions. So personal is one’s thought process that mostly, one doesn’t even want to dissect and analyse it, even to oneself.

Embracing Eco-Friendly Living: Health, Wealth & Harmony with Garuda Marketplace

In the gentle rhythm of nature lies the secret to a fulfilling life. For centuries, India has thrived on simplicity, sustainability, and harmony with the environment. From our ancestors using cow dung for purity to artisans crafting with natural fibers, eco-friendly living has always been at the heart of Bharatiya culture.

Today, as the world grapples with the impact of chemical-laden products and unsustainable choices, returning to these roots is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. And leading this journey is the Garuda Marketplace, where Make in India eco-friendly products meet the vision of a healthier, wealthier, and greener tomorrow.

Or do we want a future where every choice we make brings wellness, sustainability, and prosperity to our nation?

This is where Garuda Marketplace steps in—a platform that merges health, eco-friendliness, and the Make in India vision. Here, shopping is not just a transaction; it’s a contribution to your wellness, your environment, and your country.

Best Out of Waste: Inspiring Health, Wellness & India’s Economic Growth 

In the race of modern living, we often forget that the choices we make as consumers go far beyond ourselves. Every product we buy has an impact—not only on our health but also on the environment and the economy. This is where the philosophy of best out of waste and the vision of Make in India beautifully merge. Together, they bring us a new way of living—sustainable, healthy, and deeply rooted in Indian values.

At Garuda Marketplace, we proudly celebrate this idea by offering a wide range of eco-friendly, wellness-focused, and Made in India products. These are not just items to purchase—they are steps towards healthier living and a stronger nation.

In the rush for convenience, most modern homes have unknowingly become chemical warehouses. From floor cleaners to dishwash liquids, shampoos to air fresheners — we're surrounded by synthetic substances that harm not only our health but also our environment.

But what if going back to basics is the real luxury?

India’s traditional, chemical-free lifestyle isn’t outdated — it’s what the world is now waking up to.

In the age of convenience, most purchases happen in a few clicks. From groceries to clothing, skincare to home décor — we consume more than ever before, often without a second thought. But every product we buy has a journey — and that journey leaves a mark, on both people and the planet.

It’s never just a product. It’s a story, a soul, and a stand.

From textiles to homeware, and from personal accessories to everyday tools—there’s a silent war going on between mass-produced perfection and artisanal uniqueness. But beneath the surface lies a deeper truth: What you're really paying for is purpose.

In an age of rising landfills and dwindling resources, a quiet revolution is taking shape—one that doesn’t just reduce waste, but reimagines it. This is the power of upcycling: transforming discarded materials into something of greater value, beauty, and purpose. Far beyond recycling, upcycling breathes new life into what we often deem worthless, reminding us that creativity and sustainability go hand in hand. 

In a world grappling with overflowing landfills, microplastic pollution, and climate anxiety, we often turn to innovation and technology for solutions. But sometimes, the most powerful answers lie not in the future, but in the past—in the quiet rhythms of rural India, where sustainability is not a buzzword but a centuries-old way of life.

Far from the urban chaos and plastic-wrapped convenience, many Indian villages continue to practice zero-waste living as part of their cultural DNA. From composting to community sharing, reuse to repurposing, these practices are not enforced—they're simply how life is lived.
