Vedaant Month

In 2024, Vedaant Month is being observed from 2 October to 1 November (Mahalaya Amavasya to Deepawali) to revive and restore the essence of Sanaatan Dharm, emphasizing that Sanaatan Dharm is deeply rooted in Vedic principles, with the heart of the Vedas lying in Vedaant. Upanishads, Bhagvat Geeta and Brahmasutras are studied to aid self observation, self being mental tendencies - what we crave for, what we are attached too, what we hate or fear, our feelings, our thought process what we are blind to, our deepest desires, the default intention behind every action - the entire arena of mind, my mind, as it drives my mental behaviour.

The Essence of Sanaatan Dharm
Sanaatan Dharm is inherently Vedic, and its foundation lies in Vedaant. To establish any aspect of Dharm as valid and acceptable, the authority of the Shruti (the Vedas) is paramount, and this Shruti authority essentially becomes Vedanta authority in practice.

Significance of Sacred Texts
Sacred texts are important in leading a religious life. Religion cannot thrive without scriptures, as devoid of sacred texts, it may devolve into individual interpretations and personal whims, which is not the essence of Dharma. The Abrahamic religions have their central scriptures, and similarly, various Indian religions like Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism possess their own central texts.

Challenges Faced by Sanaatan Dharm
Sanaatan Dharm, while having millions of followers, is often fragmented and lacks a unified vision. This fragmentation is exploited by critics who belittle and disrespect Sanaatan Dharm. Dharm should not just signify tradition, uphold faith, and provide fun festivals, but shall help live a life based on understanding and values.

Vedaant and Its Importance
Vedaant is the highest authority in Sanaatan Dharm. Those who neither study nor comprehend Vedaant should question the Dharm they claim to follow. Vedaant is pinnacle of knowledge, which transcends the limitations of individual authors.Restoration of Dharmik life is possible only by living by the highest scripture, which is Vedaant. Decline and disrespect of Dharm cannot be tolerated, and it is the responsibility of those who hold the highest place in Sanaatan Dharm to reinstate it. The revival of Vedaant is crucial not only for Dharm but for humanity as a whole.

Vedaant Month is to encourage individuals to engage with the Upanishads and deeply understand their meaning.The Ghar Ghar Upanishad campaign is introduced to reach 20 crore households with Upanishadic teachings.

From Internship to Leadership: A Voyage of Learning, Serving, and Leading "From Internship to Leadership: A Voyage of Learning, Serving, and Leading" offers a comprehensive and transformative framework for understanding and optimizing the modern internship, challenging its traditional perception as merely a resume-builder or a source of temporary labor. The central thesis is that when approached with intention by both interns and organizations, internships become a  mutual voyage  characterized by  deep learning, impactful serving, and the cultivation of authentic leadership.  This synergistic model yields substantial, long-term value beyond the internship's duration. The book introduces the guiding philosophy,  "Do the Job to Win the Leadership,"  which underscores the necessity of proactive engagement. It argues that success in an internship, and indeed in a career, stems from an individual's initiative to not only complete assigned tasks but to understan...

Tears, Fears, Spheres

A fictional story woven around real people, places and events. Written in collaboration with Meta AI, DeepSeek, GoogleGemini and ChatGPT The File Vedavati Jain sat cross-legged at her writing desk, wrist warm with the afternoon light. She had just finished an article on Tula , the handspun cotton initiative resisting the tyranny of GM seeds and corporate greed. For her, work was rarely just work — it was alignment. Translation, proofreading, essays for rural platforms like Gaon Connection  — this was how she stitched meaning into her days. She clicked “Attach File,” and with an accidental flick, opened an old folder: **/personal\_NJ/** Her finger paused over a lone file. “ Tears, Fears, Spheres.pdf ” A title like that doesn’t lie flat. She double-clicked. Inside: 19 poems, a one-act play, and a short story. All unsigned, but the cadence was unmistakably Narendra’s — her husband’s. A voice she had heard read aloud countless times in the quiet of their study. But this wasn’t the voic...
