Indian Hindu pilot’s valor in line of duty makes him a hero

There is a hoary maritime tradition that the captain of the ship must be the last person to jump off a sinking ship after ensuring the safety of all passengers and crew. Captain Smit Machchhar exemplified that sense of duty and loyalty when his bravery in a perilous crisis saved the lives of over 170 passengers, a majority of them Israelis, and crew on the Dubai to Tel Aviv flight on September 30, 2026. Had his copilot succeeded in... Read more

Movie on Neem Karoli Baba’s life is a miraculous success

Last updated on: September 19, 2026 at 4:20 pm By Parveen Chopra

Neem Karoli Baba’s life (1900-1973) is associated with miracles he made in an unassumed manner unlike the flamboyant way of Sathya Sai Baba. So you can excuse some of the commenters in India attributing the success of Hanuman Ansh, a devotional drama made on a shoestring budget of Rs 2 crore ($208,786) to Baba’s grace. The Hindi language feature length film when released in India in early August started losing screens and audiences. A week or so later, the turnaround... Read more

Christian Just War View Mirrors Eastern Traditions

Amid the feud between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV, Vice President J.D. Vance tried to defend the US-Israel strikes on Iran by referring to the “more than a 1,000-year tradition of just-war theory” in Christianity. Within days, he got a pushback from the United States’ Conference of Catholic Bishops. Bishop James Massa, chairman of the bishops’ committee on doctrine, released a statement on April 15 clarifying that “a constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only...

From Wall Street to Maha Kumbh: Yakub Mathew’s Bold Debut

Last updated on: December 8, 2025 at 2:36 pm By Parveen Chopra

Only a movie star or a global guru can dream of such a book launch. Yakub Mathew is a banker, yet his debut book, ‘Seeking the Infinite: Maha Kumbh 2025’, was unveiled last month in New York by Sadhguru, a world-renowned spiritual master, and applauded by an elite audience of over six hundred. The reason for such a grand reception? The anthology’s multifaith content and message of harmony. In popular imagination, the periodic Kumbh Mela is a major Hindu pilgrimage.... Read more

Why would the Vice President want his Hindu wife to convert?

As editor-publisher of the spiritual web magazine, ALotusInTheMud.com, I refrain from wading into controversial issues related to religion. I prefer to focus on curating positive content that people can generally benefit from. I make an exception this time, albeit with malice toward none. Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly expressed a wish that his Hindu wife, Usha Vance, would convert. This has drawn a strong reaction from the Indian community in America. Today, the advocacy organization Hindu American Foundation (HAF),... Read more

Home at Last: Sarada Chiruvolu’s Journey to Self-Realization

Last updated on: September 18, 2025 at 5:08 pm By Parveen Chopra

“Enlightenment, Self-Realization, Truth, Oneness, Nondual State, Cosmic Consciousness… All these names for a state of higher consciousness have the same meaning.” These are the first words in Sarada Chiruvolu’s spiritual memoir, ‘Home At Last’. But wait, in the same breath, she says that those words indicate an experience that any one of us can undergo. That is a bold statement, and the Princeton, NJ housewife goes on to kindle more hope for you and me. “It is not something that... Read more

Massacre of Hindus in Kashmir takes India, Pak to war brink

India strikes nine sites in Pakistan with missiles to avenge the terror attack in Kashmir. On Tuesday, this was the lead story in much of the American media. But two weeks ago, when 4 terrorists killed 26 male Hindu tourists in the scenic spot of Pahalgam after identifying their religion, the horrific massacre barely registered here. India has said the military operation was precision-targeted against the terrorist hideouts in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Punjab, was not against army positions and was... Read more

President Trump has been so dominating the world stage that little else breaks out about leaders or leadership. But this story did. Last month, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a riveting 3-hour conversation with MIT scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman. In a world captivated by political rhetoric and media spectacles, the podcast was a rare glimpse into the inner world of a leader – his spiritual foundation, his discipline, his journey beyond the offices held.
