Which Temple’s Pradakshina Is Said to Erase Past Karmas?

By Nidhi

Some temples in India are said to hold energy so sacred that even one round around them can cleanse lifetimes of karma. Among them, the Arunachaleswarar Temple in Tiruvannamalai is believed to be the most powerful. Devotees say walking around the hill, known as Girivalam or Pradakshina, dissolves past karmas and purifies the soul. Ancient scriptures and modern science both point to the temple’s magnetic and spiritual energy field that transforms human consciousness, making this ritual not just a tradition but a path to inner liberation.

Why Lakshmi Leaves Homes Filled With Ego

By Riya Kumari

There is a quiet moment in every home, when the lights are on, the cupboards are full, laughter echoes in the hallways, yet something feels missing. That missing presence is what our ancestors called Lakshmi. She is not just gold in the locker or success on paper. She is grace in words, peace between relationships, and warmth in the way we treat each other.

Why Krishna Gave The Bhagavad Gita Only To Arjuna
Why Krishna Gave The Bhagavad Gita Only To Arjuna

By Riya Kumari

Why did Krishna choose only Arjuna? Not Bhishma, the wisest. Not Yudhishthira, the most righteous. Not even Vidura, the most detached. Because the Gita was never meant for the perfect. It was meant for the one who breaks, questions, trembles and still dares to ask for truth. The Gita didn’t begin because Krishna wanted to speak. It began because Arjuna was willing to listen.

Why Hanuman Never Asked Rama For Moksha
Why Hanuman Never Asked Rama For Moksha

By Riya Kumari

Most devotees ask God for something, peace, healing, protection, even moksha. But Hanuman stands alone. Sitting humbly at Lord Rama’s feet, he never once asked for liberation from life, death, or suffering. Not because he didn’t deserve it, but because he didn’t need it. For Hanuman, being in service to Rama was not a path towards liberation, it was liberation itself. He didn’t seek freedom from life; he found freedom within life.
