Celebrating the Spirit of Republic Day: Vedas to the modern marvels | A Nation United in Heritage and Progress

By Aryan Prem Rana, Founder, VRightpath

Wishing You a Joyous Republic Day.

As the tricolor unfurls against the sky, our hearts swell with pride, and the anthem ignites a spark of patriotism in our souls. Republic Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a celebration of the very essence of India—a vibrant democracy, a rich heritage, and an enduring vision of unity and progress. हिंदी में पढ़िए

On this 76th Republic Day, let us pay homage to the architects of our Constitution and salute the martyrs whose sacrifices laid the foundation of our free and independent Republic. The Constitution of India, which came into effect on January 26, 1950, is a testament to the values of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. It serves as the guiding light for over 1.4 billion citizens.

Why January 26? The Historic Significance

The choice of January 26 as Republic Day is steeped in history. On this day in 1930, the Indian National Congress proclaimed Purna Swaraj—complete independence from British rule. Twenty years later, the date was chosen to mark the birth of the Indian Republic.

This momentous occasion was heralded by a 21-gun salute and the unfurling of the Indian National Flag by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, India’s first President. It symbolized not just the culmination of our freedom struggle but also the beginning of our journey as a sovereign, secular, and democratic nation.

Swarnim Bharat – Virasat aur Vikas: The Theme for 2025

The theme for this year, Swarnim Bharat – Virasat aur Vikas (Golden India – Heritage and Development), beautifully captures the spirit of India’s progress. It highlights our strides in technology, infrastructure, and cultural preservation.

From the ancient legacy of the Vedas to the modern marvels of space exploration, India has always been a land of innovation and resilience. As we move forward, it is our responsibility to honor this heritage while building a brighter future for generations to come.

The Republic Day Parade: A Spectacle of Unity

One of the most anticipated aspects of Republic Day is the grand parade, a showcase of India’s cultural diversity and military strength. This year, Captain Ritika Khareta leads the Corps of Signals contingent, symbolizing the growing role of women in shaping India’s future.

Interestingly, the Republic Day parade also celebrates global camaraderie. In 1950, Indonesia’s President Sukarno was the first Chief Guest. This year, Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto graces the occasion, underscoring the deep civilizational ties between the two nations.

The parade has evolved over the years to include international contingents, with the French Army becoming the first foreign army to participate in 2016. This reflects India's commitment to fostering global partnerships.

Republic Day Slogans: A Call for Unity and Patriotism

Together, We Make India Stronger!

With Unity, We Rise; With Patriotism, We Shine!

Let's Make India Proud, Let's Make India Shine!

India's Glory, Our Duty!

These slogans remind us of our collective responsibility to uphold the values of our Constitution and contribute to the nation’s progress.

Honoring the Visionaries and Heros of Indian Forces

The Constitution of India was meticulously crafted by the Constituent Assembly, under the leadership of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the Chairman of the Drafting Committee. This monumental task required the dedication of 299 members, including 15 women, who worked tirelessly to ensure that the document reflected the aspirations of a diverse nation.

Their vision has stood the test of time, guiding India through challenges and triumphs alike.

A Pledge for the Future

As we celebrate Republic Day, let us not forget the sacrifices that brought us here. The freedom we cherish today is a gift from those who dreamed of a united, independent India. It is now our duty to nurture that vision by fostering unity, equality, and innovation.

Let us pledge to uphold the ideals of our Constitution, to honor our martyrs, and to work tirelessly for a brighter, more inclusive future.

Together, we can transform the dream of Swarnim Bharat into a reality.

Jai Hind!

Respect Sanatan Culture: 10 Things Every Sanatani Must Know

By VRight Path ॐ गं गणपतये नमः In today’s fast-paced and globalized world, it's easy to unknowingly adopt words, habits, and concepts that may contradict the values of our timeless Sanatan Dharma. It’s important for every follower of this ancient tradition to understand and preserve the depth and dignity of our culture. Here are some essential points that every Sanatani should know and remember: 1. Say “Bhagwan Ram” or “Bhagwan Krishna” – Not “Lord” Ask yourself: Were Bhagwan Ram or Bhagwan Krishna ever members of England’s “House of Lords”? Then why use the title “Lord”? The English term does not carry the same spiritual reverence as the word “Bhagwan,” which signifies divinity and supreme consciousness in Sanatan Dharma. Let’s use our own respectful expressions: Bhagwan Shri Ram , Bhagwan Shri Krishna . 2. Avoid Saying “RIP” The phrase Rest In Peace (RIP) originates from burial customs and assumes the soul rests at one place. ...

What a Good Person Gives, and What a Bad Person Takes Away — The Mirror of Life

By VRIGHTPATH – An Eternal Knowledge Platform to Bridge Your Karma Gaps In life, we meet two kinds of people — the good and the bad. These aren't just words; they are the deepest reflections of our lived experiences. Understanding what a good person gives us, and what a bad person silently takes away, is essential for living a meaningful life. ( हिंदी में पढ़ें ) What Does a Good Person Give? A good person is always a giver — not of grand things, but of gestures that deeply touch the heart. Understanding and Support: When you’re broken, a good person sits quietly beside you. They don’t question your tears — they simply stay. Respect and Inspiration: Their words carry truth. They see strength even in your weakness and give you the courage to rise. The Power to Forgive: A good person knows that everyone makes mistakes. They don’t hold grudges — they hold space. Energy and Peace: Spending time with them doesn’t drain you — it makes you feel more aliv...

When Numbers Aren’t Enough: The Cosmic Caution Behind the Ahmedabad Plane Tragedy

By VRIGHTPATH – An Eternal Knowledge Platform to Bridge Your Karma Gaps On June 12, 2025, tragedy struck as Air India Flight AI-171 , a Boeing 787-8 en route from Ahmedabad to London, crashed shortly after takeoff, resulting in the loss of 270 plus lives, including those living at the fatal accident site. Read in Hindi The event left the nation shocked, not only because of the magnitude of loss but also due to the mysterious alignments surrounding the incident — both numerological and astrological. Among those who met with this illfate was former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani , who had twice cancelled his flight ticket , reportedly influenced by personal beliefs in his “lucky number 1206.” Ironically, this same number appeared in the license plate of a two-wheeler involved in the crash zone — an uncanny reminder that numbers alone aren’t always enough when facing decisions tied to fate.

Are Muslims Descendants of Lord Ram and Krishna? A Historical and Sanatan Perspective

By VRight Path Introduction The question of shared ancestry between Muslims and the ancient figures of Sanatan Dharma—such as Lord Shri Ram and Lord Shri Krishna —touches upon deep historical, spiritual, and genealogical currents in Indian civilization. While Islam as a religion was founded in the 7th century CE, the roots of Sanatan Dharma go back many thousands of years, based on scriptural and traditional timelines. In this article let’s explore whether Muslims may have ancestral ties to Lord Shri Ram and Shri Ram Krishna through historical conversions, and how various ancient Indian calendars— Shrishti Samvat , Saptarishi Samvat , and Kali Yuga —establish the antiquity of Sanatan Dharma far before Islam’s origin. Genealogy and Religious Identity: The Human Perspective Are Muslims Descendants of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna? Religions change over time, but genealogy (biological ancestry) often does not. Many Muslims in South Asia are d...

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...

From Triveni Sangam to Supreme Court: The Two Sides of Modern Bharat

By Aryan Prem Rana, VRIGHTPATH Bharat Varsh is hosting the world’s largest religious gathering, where over 570 million devotees have participated in the sacred bathing rituals at the Triveni Sangam and other ghats. It is the world's largest spiritual congregation, bringing together seekers, saints, and common people to purify themselves through rituals, discussions, and spiritual experiences. हिंदी में पढ़िए On the other hand, it is deeply unfortunate that the recent controversy involving comedian Samay Raina and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, has escalated into a nationwide legal battle.

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...

India inflicted a 113-run defeat on Bangladesh in the first Test, with a session of play left on the fifth and final day, at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium in Chittagong on Thursday Jan 21,2010. Sachin Tendulkar was declared the man of the match for his masterclass effort (105 not out) in the first innings.
