NEW DON at 99.5.

The stats would have you believe that this is the best Sachin Tendulkar has ever batted. And for once, the stats may well be right. On Monday, Sachin posted Test century no. 49. It was his sixth in the calendar year, the most by any Indian ever. And it took his aggregate for the year so far to 1194 runs at an average of - hold your breath - 99.5. Indeed, the only word to describe his form is Bradmanesque (the Don, remember, had a career average of 99.94). And India will play at least five more Tests in 2010. On Monday, Sachin finished at 191 not out. And if Dhoni and the tail hang around, who's to say 300 is out of reach? On Sunday, he had passed 14,000 Test runs, taking just 12 innings to race there - the fastest he has ever gone from one 1,000-run mark to the next. But the stats, staggering though they undoubtedly are, don't tell the full tale. They fa...

Shravan: A Month of Ecological Wisdom, Spiritual Alignment & Shared Compassion

By Ayesha Rana, Co-Founder, VRIGHT PATH In India, the month of Shravan —associated with Lord Shiva —is revered as a sacred period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual discipline. But there’s a reason why this month does not begin on the same date everywhere. More importantly, there is a far deeper logic to its observance than simply abstaining from meat or alcohol. ( Hindi ) Why Does Shravan Start on Different Dates Across India? India follows two distinct lunar calendar systems : Amanta system (month ends with Amavasya) — followed in South & West India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana, etc.) Purnimanta system (month ends with Purnima) — followed in North & Central India (UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, etc.) This causes a one-month difference , so while Shravan in North India has started on July 10 , in the South, it will start from 25 July 2025. Shravan Is More Than Abstinence: It's Ecol...

The Srishti Samvat: Oldest and Divine Calendar Based on Creation

B y Aryan Rana, Founder VRIGHTPATH Modern science emerged only a few centuries ago, while ancient Indian knowledge about the universe, time, and creation has been passed down through millennia. This raises an intriguing question: how do the profound insights found in ancient Indian texts and calendars, particularly the Srishti Samvat, align with or even challenge the discoveries of modern science? The Srishti Samvat, a divine calendar based on the cosmic cycles of creation, presents a unique perspective on time that transcends the linear approach of modern scientific thinking, offering a more holistic, cyclical understanding of the universe and our place within it. Origins and History The Srishti Samvat stands as a unique and sacred calendar, deeply rooted in the ancient Vedic teachings of India. The term "Srishti" refers to creation, and Samvat refers to a system of years. Together, they form the “ divine calendar of creation ,” a framework believed to be div...

Restoring Dharma in Relationships: Modern Love, Live-ins & the Loss of Value System

By Ayesha Rana, Co-Founder – VRIGHT PATH ( Ancient Bharat Knowledge Platform for Clarity and Actions to Bridge Your Karma Gaps ) Today, India stands at a moral and cultural crossroads. The rapid spread of pre-marital relationships, casual dating, and live-in arrangements is reshaping not only how men and women interact, but also how families, communities, and our very sense of self-respect and character are evolving. This change is not without consequence — emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Hindi The Crisis We Are Facing Pre-marital love affairs and live-in relationships, now widely normalized through media, social platforms, and cinema, are leading to a crisis in individual temperament, emotional health, and personal dignity. They often promote: Short-term gratification over long-term responsibility Confusion in relationships and lack of emotional stability Erosion of commitment, loyalty, and patience Disrespect toward parents, marriage,...

IND vs SA -First Test Outlook

T he First test between India and South Africa at Nagupr may end on a positive note for India as per India's fate number 6 (Feb 6), the Venusian number indicates a good start to the match for India. Interestingly, the number on last day of the match is also 6 (10+2+2010= 6) which again indicates India may have an upper hand in the match on the last day-given all -is- well in between. However, planets indicate team India may be in trouble on the 2nd ( (Sachin may do well :)) and 3rd day as moon is not favorable. 3rd day numbers are a combination of 8 & 4 (8.2.2010 =13) ruled by Saturn and Rahu respectively, indicating a difficult day with lots of ups and downs over all. 4th day numbers are 9 & 5 (9+2+2010=14) indicate aggression and injuries. You may have no clue which way match will turn. Over all this test will have lots of troubles in store for India!

Egass: The Divine Awakening and Folk Soul of Devbhumi

By Ayesha Aryan Rana, Co-founder, VRIGHT PATH Uttarakhand , revered as Devbhumi – the Land of the Gods , is not merely a Himalayan state; it is a living temple — a sacred geography where the Devas have descended and lived among humans since the beginning of creation . ( Read in Hindi ) Every mountain, every river, and every valley here vibrates with divine consciousness. From these very peaks emerge the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati , which sanctify and sustain the entire Indian subcontinent.

The holy cities of Haridwar and Ris...

TESTS: 136 vs Pakistan at Chennai 1999

An innings that has gone down in Indian cricketing folklore. A gallant knock compiled under tremendous pressure on a last day Chepauk pitch in the face of a varied attack – Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Saqlain Mushtaq – ended up in vain as the support for Tendulkar was woefully inadequate. He was out for a third ball duck in the first innings but in the second came up with a master class that was constructed despite a painful back. India chasing 271 for victory lost five wickets for 82. Tendulkar had come in late on the third day with India tottering at six for two. It was not until Nayan Mongia entered that Tendulkar found some support. The wicketkeeper was content playing a supporting role and all eyes were on the maestro who braving the heat and the pain steered India closer to the target. The two added 136 runs for the sixth wicket before Mongia was out for 52. Tendulkar already well past his century got the total to 254. With four wickets in hand and only 17 to get it seemed ...
