The ancient R̥gvēda has a lovely line which goes "आ नो भद्रा: क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वत:", loosely translated as, "May noble thoughts come to us from all directions." The list of "noble" thoughts this week includes the unfunny Navratri meme of Meena Harris, the inaccurate Sanskrit translations of names of US election candidates, the incredible moral grandstanding of Surat Police while wishing Navratri (and they are not alone in this, not by a light year), and of course, the unacceptable degeneracy of Eros linking Navratri to some sexual playtime. Also, a detour on what you would do if you are in a ristorante and you are served a pizza with a slice eaten by someone else? With such thoughts around us, does the lovely line from R̥gvēda remain relevant? While exploring that, we venture into the not-so-idealistic world of our ancestors during the Vedic times, and ensure that the there is a fire that is steadily burning within us, and not just during festival times.
