Worship without flowers, law of karma and rnaanubandhana (Part I)
This rambling starts as my query to Webyogi, who has enough knowledge on spirituality and astrology. Why I say enough is that at least for me some answers have been simplified if not totally answered. The answer came as prompt, besides others to “Worship Lord...
Chhailla Chowk to China: Himachal government throws security to the wind; even dogs getting extinct
This is not a first hand account. Rather I’ve heard it from different sources. The local MLA (member of legislative assembly) from Jubbal-Kotkhai, Narendra Baragta, recently, at a public rally to appease the common man, announced – “Yeh jo Ching-Ming hai na, jo apne desh...
Shame: No Himachal tableau at New Dellhi parade this year too
