दुर्गा पूजा विवाद पर सोनू त्यागी: ‘हिंदू और सनातन अध्यात्म का मूल संदेश अहिंसा और करुणा है’

गो स्पिरिचुअल के संस्थापक सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, हिंदू और सनातन अध्यात्म के मूल आदर्श अहिंसा, करुणा और सात्विक जीवन हैं; शाकाहार को दबाव से नहीं, जागरूकता और प्रेम से अपनाने की जरूरत

मुंबई/नई दिल्ली: दुर्गा पूजा के दौरान मांसाहारी भोजन को लेकर चल रही बहस के बीच गो स्पिरिचुअल और अप्रोच एंटरटेनमेंट के संस्थापक सोनू त्यागी ने कहा है कि इस मुद्दे को राजनीति, व्यक्तियों और क्षेत्रीय विवाद से ऊपर उठकर देखने की जरूरत है। उनके अनुसार, इस बहस को हिंदू अध्यात्म, सनातन मूल्यों, अहिंसा, पशु करुणा और भोजन के प्रति हमारी सोच से जोड़कर देखा जाना चाहिए।

Sonu Tyagi

इस विवाद के बाद खासकर पश्चिम बंगाल में भोजन, आस्था और क्षेत्रीय परंपराओं को लेकर बड़ी बहस शुरू हो गई है। कुछ लोगों ने दुर्गा पूजा के पवित्र दिनों में मछली और मांस से दूर रहने की अपील की है, जबकि कुछ लोग बंगाल की धार्मिक, सांस्कृतिक और खान-पान की परंपराओं की बात कर रहे हैं। सोनू त्यागी का कहना है कि भारत की अलग-अलग परंपराओं का सम्मान होना चाहिए, लेकिन साथ ही हमें अध्यात्म के असली उद्देश्य पर भी विचार करना चाहिए।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “हिंदू अध्यात्म हमें करुणा सिखाता है। जब हम देवी मां की पूजा करते हैं, तो सभी जीवों के प्रति दया क्यों नहीं दिखा सकते? दुर्गा पूजा और नवरात्रि शक्ति, भक्ति और बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत के पर्व हैं। हमारी पूजा केवल मंदिर या पंडाल तक सीमित नहीं रहनी चाहिए। अगर हमारी भक्ति सच्ची है, तो उसे हमें इंसानों, पशुओं और प्रकृति के प्रति अधिक दयालु और संवेदनशील बनाना चाहिए।”

त्यागी ने साफ किया कि गो स्पिरिचुअल किसी धार्मिक गुरु, राजनेता, संगठन या राजनीतिक दल के साथ व्यक्तिगत या राजनीतिक विवाद में नहीं पड़ना चाहता। संस्था इस मुद्दे को एक बड़े आध्यात्मिक सवाल के रूप में देखती है कि क्या हमारी आस्था और धार्मिक जीवन हमें ऐसा इंसान बना रहे हैं, जो दूसरे जीवों का दर्द समझ सके और जहां संभव हो, उनके दुख और पीड़ा को कम करे।

उनका कहना है कि हिंदू धर्म और सनातन धर्म बहुत विशाल हैं। इनमें अलग-अलग परंपराएं, रीति-रिवाज और विचार हैं। अलग-अलग समय और क्षेत्रों में लोगों की खान-पान की आदतें भी अलग रही हैं। लेकिन इस विविधता को स्वीकार करने का मतलब यह नहीं है कि हम अहिंसा, दया, करुणा, सात्विकता, संयम और सभी जीवों के प्रति सम्मान जैसे हिंदू और सनातन अध्यात्म के मूल आदर्शों की बात ही न करें।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “इतिहास हमें बता सकता है कि अलग-अलग समय में लोग क्या खाते थे या उनकी क्या परंपराएं थीं, लेकिन धर्म हमें यह भी सोचने की प्रेरणा देता है कि हमें कैसा इंसान बनना चाहिए। अध्यात्म का मतलब अपने भीतर बदलाव लाना है। यह हमें अधिक जागरूक, शांत, संयमी और दयालु बनने की ओर ले जाता है। गो स्पिरिचुअल के लिए शाकाहार इसी आध्यात्मिक यात्रा का एक स्वाभाविक हिस्सा है।”

उन्होंने कहा कि हिंदू और सनातन परंपराओं में सात्विक भोजन, शाकाहारी प्रसाद और शाकाहारी जीवनशैली का महत्वपूर्ण स्थान रहा है। देश के अनेक हिंदू मंदिरों, वैष्णव परंपराओं और आध्यात्मिक संस्थाओं में शाकाहारी भोजन को महत्व दिया जाता है। गो स्पिरिचुअल का मानना है कि इतिहास में मांसाहार या पशु बलि के कुछ उदाहरणों को आधार बनाकर हिंदू और सनातन संस्कृति में मौजूद अहिंसा, करुणा और शाकाहार की विशाल परंपरा को नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जाना चाहिए।

हालांकि, त्यागी ने यह भी कहा कि शाकाहार को कभी अहंकार या खुद को दूसरों से बेहतर समझने का कारण नहीं बनाना चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा, “सिर्फ शाकाहारी होने से कोई अपने आप अच्छा इंसान नहीं बन जाता और मांसाहारी भोजन करने से किसी इंसान के पूरे व्यक्तित्व का फैसला नहीं किया जा सकता। लेकिन हमें एक साधारण सवाल जरूर पूछना चाहिए—जब हमारे पास किसी पशु की जान लिए बिना अपना भोजन पाने का विकल्प है, तो हम अधिक दयालु विकल्प क्यों न चुनें?”

त्यागी के अनुसार, अहिंसा केवल इंसानों के बीच हिंसा न करने तक सीमित नहीं है। पशुओं को भी दर्द होता है, उन्हें भी डर लगता है और वे भी जीना चाहते हैं। इसलिए अध्यात्म को हमें पशुओं की पीड़ा के प्रति भी संवेदनशील बनाना चाहिए।

उन्होंने कहा, “किसी पशु का जीवन हमारे कुछ पलों के स्वाद से कहीं ज्यादा कीमती है। हम जीवन में हर तरह की हिंसा को पूरी तरह खत्म नहीं कर सकते, लेकिन इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि जिस हिंसा और पीड़ा को हम आसानी से रोक सकते हैं, उसे भी नजरअंदाज कर दें।”

साथ ही, सोनू त्यागी ने शाकाहार को किसी पर जबरदस्ती थोपने का भी विरोध किया। उन्होंने कहा, “हम शाकाहार की बात करते हैं, उसे थोपते नहीं हैं। हम लोगों से अपील करते हैं, उन्हें धमकाते नहीं हैं। अगर हम अहिंसा की बात करते हुए किसी दूसरे इंसान का अपमान करते हैं, तो हम अहिंसा की भावना को ही खत्म कर देते हैं। करुणा को जबरदस्ती पैदा नहीं किया जा सकता। करुणा जागरूकता से आती है।”

उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि किसी व्यक्ति के भोजन के आधार पर यह तय नहीं किया जाना चाहिए कि वह हिंदू या सनातनी है या नहीं। “खाने की कोई बहस इस बात का सर्टिफिकेट नहीं बननी चाहिए कि कौन हिंदू या सनातनी है और कौन नहीं। हिंदू और सनातन परंपरा इतनी विशाल और गहरी है कि उसे किसी की थाली तक सीमित नहीं किया जा सकता। हम अलग-अलग संस्कृतियों का सम्मान करते हुए भी शाकाहार और करुणा की बात कर सकते हैं।”

दुर्गा पूजा का जिक्र करते हुए त्यागी ने कहा, “जब हम मां दुर्गा को देवी मां मानकर उनकी पूजा करते हैं और उनसे शक्ति, सुरक्षा और करुणा मांगते हैं, तो क्या वही मातृत्व और करुणा दूसरे जीवों तक नहीं पहुंच सकती? सच्चा अध्यात्म हमारी करुणा का दायरा बढ़ाता है। भारत को भोजन पर एक और गुस्से वाली बहस की जरूरत नहीं है। भारत को करुणा और समझदारी से भरी बातचीत की जरूरत है।”

सोनू त्यागी अवार्ड-विनिंग लेखक, निर्देशक और निर्माता हैं। वे गो स्पिरिचुअल और अप्रोच एंटरटेनमेंट ग्रुप के संस्थापक हैं। मीडिया, कम्युनिकेशंस, एडवरटाइजिंग, फिल्म और एंटरटेनमेंट के क्षेत्र में उन्हें दो दशकों से अधिक का अनुभव है। वे अध्यात्म, मानवता, शाकाहार, अहिंसा, पशु करुणा और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य जागरूकता की लगातार वकालत करते रहे हैं। उनका मानना है कि अध्यात्म केवल पूजा-पाठ और धार्मिक रस्मों में नहीं, बल्कि इस बात में दिखाई देना चाहिए कि हम इंसानों, पशुओं और प्रकृति के साथ कैसा व्यवहार करते हैं।

गो स्पिरिचुअल एक स्पिरिचुअल और वेलनेस संगठन है, जो अध्यात्म, सामाजिक और परोपकारी कार्यों, आध्यात्मिक जागरूकता, मानसिक स्वास्थ्य और वेलनेस, आयुर्वेद और समग्र जीवन, स्पिरिचुअल टूरिज्म, मीडिया और इवेंट्स के क्षेत्र में काम करता है। अपने गो वेज अभियान के माध्यम से संस्था शाकाहार, अहिंसा और पशु करुणा को बढ़ावा दे रही है। संस्था का मानना है कि शाकाहार को किसी पर थोपने के बजाय जागरूकता और करुणा के माध्यम से लोगों तक पहुंचाया जाना चाहिए। गो स्पिरिचुअल न्यूज़ मैगज़ीन एंड ऐप अध्यात्म, वेलनेस, मानवता, सकारात्मक जीवन और सामाजिक विषयों पर केंद्रित है।

अप्रोच एंटरटेनमेंट ग्रुप, जिसकी स्थापना सोनू त्यागी ने की है, एंटरटेनमेंट, कम्युनिकेशंस और मीडिया के क्षेत्र में काम करता है। अप्रोच एंटरटेनमेंट सेलिब्रिटी एवं टैलेंट मैनेजमेंट, फिल्म प्रोडक्शंस, एडवरटाइजिंग एवं कॉरपोरेट फिल्म प्रोडक्शंस, फिल्म मार्केटिंग, इवेंट्स और एंटरटेनमेंट मार्केटिंग में काम करता है। अप्रोच कम्युनिकेशंस एक अवार्ड-विनिंग पीआर, डिजिटल और इंटीग्रेटेड कम्युनिकेशंस एजेंसी है। ग्रुप का अप्रोच बॉलीवुड बॉलीवुड एवं एंटरटेनमेंट न्यूज़वायर, पोर्टल और ऐप है।

Approach Communications & Approach Entertainment Launch Dedicated Spiritual & Wellness Vertical

Mumbai: Approach Communications and Approach Entertainment, two key divisions of the Approach Entertainment Group, have announced the launch of a dedicated Spiritual & Wellness Vertical, bringing together specialised PR, digital, integrated communications, celebrity management, advertising, content production, events and entertainment marketing services for the rapidly expanding spirituality and wellness sector.

The new vertical will cater to spiritual and wellness brands, organisations, institutions, spiritual leaders, wellness experts, yoga and meditation professionals, Ayurveda companies, organic and natural product brands, mental wellness platforms, spiritual tourism ventures, retreats, authors, healers, conscious lifestyle businesses and purpose-driven entrepreneurs. The initiative aims to provide the sector with professional communication and entertainment solutions that combine credibility and purpose with contemporary marketing, media and audience-engagement strategies.

As spirituality and wellness increasingly become part of mainstream conversations around health, lifestyle, workplaces, travel, food, relationships, mental wellbeing and conscious consumption, Approach Communications and Approach Entertainment see a growing need for specialised agencies that understand both the sensitivities of the sector and the demands of modern brand building. The new vertical will help clients communicate authentic ideas while building visibility, reputation, communities and sustainable business opportunities.

Approach Communications, the group’s award-winning PR, Digital & Integrated Communications agency, will lead public relations, media relations, digital communications, social media strategy, reputation management, thought leadership, content strategy, influencer communications, brand positioning, crisis communications and integrated campaigns. The agency will work with clients to transform complex spiritual, wellness and holistic concepts into credible, accessible narratives capable of reaching mainstream media as well as specialised audiences.

Complementing the communications mandate, Approach Entertainment will bring its extensive capabilities in Celebrity & Talent Management, Films Productions, Advertising & Corporate Films Productions, Films Marketing, Events and Entertainment Marketing to spirituality and wellness clients. The company will develop opportunities involving celebrity associations, brand ambassadors, influencer and expert collaborations, advertising films, corporate films, documentaries, branded content, podcasts, short-form videos, events, experiential campaigns and entertainment-led brand integrations.

For individual spiritual leaders, wellness experts, yoga teachers, authors and thought leaders, the combined vertical will work on professional positioning, media visibility, digital presence, speaking opportunities, events, content development, collaborations and appropriate celebrity or brand associations. For companies and organisations, the group will create integrated campaigns combining PR, digital communications, advertising, video content, events and entertainment marketing to build both reputation and consumer engagement.

Sonu Tyagi

Sonu Tyagi, Founder & Director of Approach Entertainment Group, said, “Spirituality and wellness are moving into the mainstream of modern life and business. Consumers are increasingly thinking about mental wellbeing, mindfulness, yoga, Ayurveda, organic living, conscious consumption and meaningful experiences. At the same time, brands operating in these areas require communication that is responsible and authentic. They cannot be marketed exactly like conventional products because trust, credibility and purpose are fundamental to this sector.”

The new vertical will draw significant domain understanding from Go Spiritual, the group’s Spiritual & Wellness organisation working across spirituality, spiritual awareness, philanthropy and social causes, mental health & wellness, Ayurveda and organic living, spiritual tourism, media and events. Through its awareness campaigns, social initiatives and digital content, Go Spiritual has enabled the group to develop first-hand understanding of how spiritual and wellness subjects can be communicated to contemporary audiences.

Go Spiritual also operates the Go Spiritual News Magazine & App, which covers spirituality, wellness, mental health, meditation, yoga, Ayurveda, pilgrimage, temples, festivals, relationships, inspirational living and related subjects. The organisation is additionally developing Go Spiritual Web TV & OTT, further strengthening the group’s engagement with positive and spiritually oriented media and content.

The group sees substantial opportunities for Indian spirituality and wellness businesses internationally. India’s longstanding global association with yoga, meditation, Ayurveda and spiritual traditions, combined with growing interest in holistic and conscious lifestyles, offers significant potential for Indian brands, experts and organisations to build international audiences. Approach Communications will support this through strategic communications and media positioning, while Approach Entertainment will explore content, collaborations, personalities, events and entertainment-led opportunities capable of taking Indian spiritual and wellness narratives to wider markets.

Sonu Tyagi is an award-winning writer, director, producer and media entrepreneur with professional qualifications in Psychology, Advertising Management, Journalism and Filmmaking. Before establishing Approach Entertainment Group, he worked with advertising agencies and media organisations. He created and co-produced the spiritual film and web series Two Great Masters featuring veteran actor Rakesh Bedi and exploring the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda. He is also co-producing the international feature film Liberation and serves as Creative Producer on Camp Decent. Tyagi was recently honoured among the “Top Most Leaders in Mental Health” at the 7th World Mental Health Congress & Awards.

With more than two decades of experience, Approach Entertainment Group operates across entertainment, communications and purpose-driven media. Its businesses include Approach Entertainment, Approach Communications, Approach Bollywood, a Bollywood & Entertainment Newswire, Portal & App, and Go Spiritual.

Dr. Navana Kundu on ‘Hanuman Ansh’: “A Heartfelt Film That Brings Us Back to Faith, Innocence and Simplicity”

Some movies entertain you. Some movies remind you of something important you had almost forgotten.

For me, Hanuman Ansh belongs to the second category.

I watched the film with a sense of warmth because, at its heart, it is a heartfelt creation of the director, a film made with genuine emotion, faith and an authenticity that you can sense throughout.

There is no need for everything to be spectacular. Sometimes, just being sincere is enough…

And there is something very sincere about the way the story has been presented from the very first minute. You can feel the authentic effort not just in the performances, but in the music, the storytelling and the overall treatment.

And perhaps that is what stayed with me the most: the simplicity of it.

We live in a time of constant noise, speed, information and chaos. Everything is designed to make us move faster. Hanuman Ansh, in contrast, makes you slow down. It gently brings you back to your roots, to faith, innocence and the timeless stories that shaped generations before us.

I often feel that divinity is not found in speed and chaos. Divinity asks us to slow down.

And this film, in its own simple way, does exactly that.

The main actor completely submerges himself into the role. There is something very pleasing and innocent about his personality, and his performance carries a natural warmth that makes you want to stay with the character. The actor portraying the younger version also does a wonderful job. Nobody feels unnecessarily larger than the story itself, which works in the film’s favour. In fact, every actor brings sincerity to their part, and that collective effort gives the film its heart.

The film also brings several miracle stories one after another. As someone who comes from a place of faith, I personally enjoyed this aspect. There is a certain childlike wonder in watching these stories unfold. At times, however, I felt the transitions between the miracle sequences could have been smoother. A little more breathing space between them could have allowed each moment to land more emotionally for us, the viewers.

The music deserves special mention. It feels grounding, rooted and connected to the cultural soul of the story. It doesn’t try too hard to impress. instead, it supports the atmosphere and takes you deeper into the world of the film.

What I particularly appreciate is that Hanuman Ansh can be watched with children. Today, our children know superheroes from everywhere. But how many of them know the timeless Masters and stories that belong to their own spiritual heritage?

Hanuman Ansh gives our new generation a chance to discover that world not through a lecture, but through a story.

And sometimes, that is how wisdom is passed on.

As I watched the film, I found myself thinking about how far we have travelled from our roots and how much we sometimes need to return.

Return to faith.
Return to innocence.
Return to simplicity.
Return to ourselves.

As a person of faith, I genuinely loved the film.

Not because it is perfect. It isn’t. But because there is something increasingly rare about a film that carries simplicity, sincerity and devotion at its core.

And sometimes, in a world moving far too fast, a little simplicity is exactly the miracle we need.

From ₹3,383 Crore to ₹20: Mumbai MLA Parag Shah’s Day as a Beggar Becomes a Powerful Lesson in Humility, Detachment and Humanity

Mumbai: What happens when a man surrounded by wealth, political power, security, expensive cars and social recognition suddenly leaves everything behind and walks onto the street as someone nobody recognises? For Maharashtra BJP MLA Parag Shah, one of the state’s wealthiest legislators, the answer came through an unusual spiritual experiment that transformed an ordinary day in Mumbai into a lesson about ego, humility, compassion and the temporary nature of material identity.

Shah, who declared assets worth more than ₹3,383 crore in his affidavit for the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly election, recently left behind his security personnel, vehicles and expensive belongings, changed his appearance and spent several hours on the streets of Ghatkopar dressed as a beggar. The exercise was reportedly undertaken on the advice of Jain spiritual guru Param Namramuni Gurudev during the spiritually significant Jain period of introspection and self-discipline. What followed was not merely an experiment in disguise, but an experience that raises a much deeper spiritual question: Who are we when everything through which the world recognises us is taken away?

On an ordinary day, Parag Shah is an MLA, businessman and wealthy public figure. People recognise him, approach him and may even wait for an opportunity to meet him. But when he stepped onto the same streets dressed as a beggar, all those identities disappeared. The people around him did not know his wealth, his political position or his social standing. To them, he was simply another man who appeared to have nothing and was asking others for help.

That reversal became one of the most striking aspects of Shah’s experience. He reportedly reflected that people who would ordinarily stand before him or wait to meet him suddenly appeared much bigger when he had to approach them asking for alms. He described what he experienced as the “reality of life.” His experience came after leaving behind his security, vehicles and expensive possessions and walking through Ghatkopar anonymously.

From a spiritual perspective, this is where the story becomes much more meaningful than the spectacle of a wealthy politician becoming a beggar for a day. Human beings spend much of their lives building identities around money, profession, designation, possessions, influence, appearance and social recognition. We begin to believe that these things define who we are. Yet spirituality has always reminded humanity that almost everything we call “mine” is temporary. Wealth can disappear, positions can change, power can pass to somebody else, physical beauty fades and even the body itself is temporary.

When these external identities are removed, what remains is the human being.

Perhaps the most touching moment of Shah’s experience came when an ordinary person reportedly gave him ₹20 and suggested that he buy something to eat. At another point, a food vendor gave him something to eat despite his apparent inability to pay. For someone whose declared assets run into thousands of crores, ₹20 would ordinarily mean almost nothing financially. But when Shah was standing on the street without access to his visible wealth or identity, that small amount represented something far more valuable: human compassion.

There is a profound spiritual irony in that moment. The person giving ₹20 almost certainly possessed vastly less material wealth than the person receiving it. Yet at that moment, the supposedly poorer person was the giver and the billionaire was the receiver. Material definitions of rich and poor had been temporarily reversed.

And that raises another important spiritual question: Who was truly rich at that moment?

Was it the person who possessed thousands of crores but was asking for help, or the person who may have possessed very little but still had enough compassion to share ₹20 with a stranger? Spirituality does not reject material prosperity, but it challenges us to rethink what prosperity actually means. A large bank balance may make someone financially wealthy, but generosity makes a person rich in another dimension. A person who has little but shares with someone in need possesses something that cannot be measured through an election affidavit, property valuation or bank statement.

The food vendor’s gesture carries the same message. He apparently did not know that the person before him was a wealthy MLA. He simply saw someone who seemed unable to pay and offered food. There was no expectation of political favour, publicity or reward. The act became meaningful precisely because the giver did not know the recipient’s real identity.

That is very close to the spiritual idea of seva—service without expectation. True kindness does not first ask whether the person receiving it is important. True compassion does not calculate what it will receive in return. When someone is hungry, we feed them. When someone is suffering, we help them. When someone feels alone, we offer support. Humanity itself becomes sufficient reason for action.

The timing and inspiration behind Shah’s experience also give the episode a deeper dimension. The exercise was undertaken on the suggestion of Jain spiritual guru Param Namramuni Gurudev. Jain philosophy places profound emphasis on Ahimsa, compassion, restraint, self-reflection and freedom from excessive attachment. The current Paryushan period itself emphasises fasting, introspection, forgiveness and overcoming attachments, anger, greed and desire. Param Namramuni Gurudev’s own spiritual work places strong emphasis on self-discovery, compassionate love and service towards living beings.

Seen through this lens, becoming a beggar for a day was less about pretending to be poor and more about temporarily stripping away the external layers through which society defines a person. When there is no luxury car, no security officer, no expensive clothing, no political introduction and nobody saying “MLA sahib,” the ego suddenly has much less material with which to construct its identity.

However, there is an equally important truth that must accompany the spiritual interpretation of this experiment. A wealthy person voluntarily living like a beggar for several hours cannot fully understand the reality of someone who lives with poverty, hunger or homelessness every day. For Shah, the experience had an ending. He could remove the makeup, return home and resume his normal life. Millions of poor people do not have that option. Their poverty is not an exercise in spiritual introspection; it is an everyday struggle for survival.

That distinction actually makes the spiritual lesson even more important. An experience of humility has value only when it creates lasting compassion. A spiritual exercise becomes meaningful when inner realisation changes outward behaviour. If temporarily experiencing vulnerability helps a person become more sensitive towards those who live with vulnerability permanently, then the experience can become more than symbolic.

For politicians, business leaders, celebrities, professionals and indeed anyone enjoying privilege, there is a larger lesson here. We often see society from the position we occupy within it. A person travelling in a luxury car sees a different Mumbai from someone sleeping beside the road. A person ordering food without looking at the price sees hunger differently from someone wondering whether there will be dinner tonight. A powerful person experiences human relationships differently from someone society routinely ignores.

Sometimes, changing where we stand changes what we are able to see.

Shah’s experience therefore invites all of us—not only wealthy people—to examine our own attachments. Our possessions may be smaller, but our ego can be equally large. We may become attached to our job title, house, car, appearance, social-media following, education, family status or professional success. We may unconsciously begin measuring ourselves and others through these external markers.

Spirituality asks us to go deeper.

Your designation is not you. Your bank balance is not you. Your car is not you. Your house is not you. Your social status is not you. These are circumstances surrounding your life, and circumstances can change.

What remains is your consciousness, your character, your actions and the way you treat other living beings.

For Go Spiritual News Magazine & App, that may be the most important lesson emerging from Parag Shah’s unusual day on the streets of Mumbai. Spirituality does not necessarily require a successful person to abandon wealth or achievement. It asks us instead to develop detachment from the ego that wealth and achievement can create. Earn, build, succeed and prosper—but remember that possession is temporary and humanity is fundamental.

The person who gave ₹20 to an apparently hungry stranger probably never imagined that his small act would become part of a larger story. Yet that ₹20 may ultimately be more spiritually significant than the thousands of crores associated with the man who received it.

Because ultimately, the spiritual value of money is not determined merely by how much we possess, but by what we are willing to share.

For a few hours, one of Maharashtra’s richest politicians became a man with an empty hand. Someone with far less placed ₹20 into that hand. Another person offered him food. And for a brief moment, the conventional definitions of rich and poor disappeared.

What remained was simply one human being helping another.

Perhaps that is the real wealth spirituality has always asked humanity to discover.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2026: Welcome Lord Ganesha by Removing the Obstacles Within

Go Spiritual says the festival of Vighnaharta is not only about bringing Ganesha home, but also about overcoming ego, anger, greed and negativity while embracing wisdom, compassion and a more spiritual way of life

Mumbai/New Delhi: As homes, temples and public pandals prepare to welcome Lord Ganesha, Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 offers an opportunity to celebrate not only one of India’s most loved festivals, but also its deeper spiritual message. This year, Ganesh Chaturthi falls on Monday, September 14, beginning the Ganeshotsav celebrations that culminate with Ganesh Visarjan on Anant Chaturdashi.

For Go Spiritual, Ganesh Chaturthi is much more than the installation of a beautiful Ganesha idol, elaborate decorations, sweets, music and processions. The festival carries a timeless message for modern life: before asking Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles, to remove difficulties from our path, we should also identify the obstacles that exist within ourselves.

Ego, anger, jealousy, greed, hatred, fear, intolerance and uncontrolled desires can become some of the biggest obstacles in human life. Ganesh Chaturthi can therefore become a period of inner reflection—a time to ask what we need to remove from our minds and lives to become calmer, kinder and wiser human beings.

Lord Ganesha is traditionally worshipped as Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles, and as a deity associated with wisdom, intelligence, prosperity and auspicious new beginnings. Ganesh Chaturthi marks his birth and is celebrated with great devotion across India, with especially prominent celebrations in Maharashtra and several other states.

Every aspect of Lord Ganesha can also inspire spiritual reflection. His large head reminds us to think with wisdom; his large ears can remind us to listen more carefully; and his small eyes can represent concentration and focus. His association with new beginnings reminds us that transformation is always possible. Whatever mistakes we may have made in the past, spiritual life gives us an opportunity to begin again with greater awareness.

In today’s world, this message has particular relevance. People are surrounded by constant information, competition, social-media comparisons, material ambitions and everyday stress. We often ask for external success without first creating inner peace. We want obstacles outside us to disappear while sometimes ignoring anger, anxiety, ego and negativity within.

Ganesh Chaturthi reminds us that real success is not only about achieving more; it is also about becoming better.

The festival traditionally begins with the installation of Ganesha murtis in homes and public pandals. Devotees offer prayers, flowers and sweets, particularly modaks, and participate in aartis and community celebrations. The festival eventually concludes with Ganesh Visarjan, when the murti is taken in procession for immersion, accompanied by the beloved chant of “Ganpati Bappa Morya.”

Visarjan itself carries a profound spiritual lesson.

We welcome Ganesha with enormous love, worship him for several days and then finally allow the physical form to go. Symbolically, this can remind us of one of spirituality’s most important truths: everything in the material world is temporary.

Possessions, positions, success, difficulties and even circumstances change with time. Visarjan can teach us to love deeply without becoming permanently attached to physical forms. The murti returns to nature, but devotion remains within the heart.

Go Spiritual also believes that a festival dedicated to the Divine should encourage greater respect for nature and all living beings. Devotion and environmental responsibility should complement each other. Choosing eco-conscious celebrations, reducing unnecessary waste, avoiding pollution and treating animals and the natural world with compassion can make Ganeshotsav even more meaningful.

The spiritual meaning of Ganesh Chaturthi can also extend into our homes and relationships. Removing obstacles should include removing bitterness between family members, forgiving where possible, listening to one another and making space for compassion. A prayer before Lord Ganesha becomes even more meaningful when it inspires positive change in our everyday behaviour.

The festival also has a powerful tradition of bringing communities together. Public Ganesh celebrations became an important vehicle for social unity during India’s freedom movement, particularly after Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak helped transform Ganeshotsav into a major public celebration in the late nineteenth century. Today, that spirit of togetherness can be carried forward through community service, kindness, charity and support for people who need help.

Go Spiritual believes devotees can make this Ganesh Chaturthi a personal spiritual beginning. Along with praying for prosperity, success and the removal of difficulties, people can make a simple inner resolution: remove one negative habit and adopt one positive quality.

Replace anger with patience. Replace ego with humility. Replace hatred with compassion. Replace excessive desire with contentment. Replace indifference with kindness. Replace fear with faith.

That may be among the most meaningful offerings we can make to Lord Ganesha.

As millions welcome Ganesha with the words “Ganpati Bappa Morya,” Go Spiritual’s message for Ganesh Chaturthi is simple: welcome Lord Ganesha into your home, but also allow his wisdom to enter your mind and heart. Pray for the obstacles ahead to disappear—but also work to remove the anger, ego, greed and negativity within. That is where the deeper journey of Vighnaharta begins.

Ganpati Bappa Morya!

World Suicide Prevention Day: Go Spiritual Calls for Open Conversations, Compassion and Stronger Mental Health Support

On World Suicide Prevention Day 2026, Go Spiritual strengthens its Mental Health & Wellness initiatives, urging families, educational institutions, workplaces and communities to recognise emotional distress early, break the stigma around seeking help and ensure that nobody suffers in silence

Mumbai/New Delhi, September 10, 2026: As the world observes World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, Go Spiritual has called for a more compassionate, accessible and stigma-free approach to mental health, stressing that suicide prevention must become a continuing social responsibility rather than a conversation restricted to a single awareness day.

The official World Suicide Prevention Day theme for 2024–2026 is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide,” accompanied by the call to action “Start the Conversation.” The World Health Organization says the campaign seeks to replace silence and stigma with openness, empathy and support, while also encouraging governments and institutions to make suicide prevention a public-health priority.

For Go Spiritual, the theme strongly reflects its approach to Mental Health & Wellness: people experiencing emotional distress should be heard rather than judged, supported rather than isolated, and encouraged to seek qualified professional help without shame.

According to the latest WHO information, more than 720,000 people die by suicide worldwide every year, and suicide was the third leading cause of death among people aged 15–29 globally in 2021. WHO also reports that 73 per cent of suicides occurred in low- and middle-income countries. The causes are complex and can involve psychological, social, biological, cultural and environmental factors.

These numbers underline why conversations about mental health cannot remain confined to hospitals or counselling rooms. They must also take place within families, schools, colleges, workplaces and communities. A person experiencing severe emotional distress may need professional mental-health care, but compassionate human connection can also play an important role in helping someone feel less isolated and in encouraging them towards appropriate support.

Go Spiritual Founder Sonu Tyagi said that one of the biggest challenges in mental health continues to be the hesitation people feel about speaking openly when they are struggling.

“Many people continue to carry enormous emotional pain silently because they fear judgment, stigma or being considered weak. We need to create a culture where saying ‘I need help’ is treated as an act of courage and responsibility. Families, friends, colleagues and institutions must learn to listen with empathy rather than immediately judging, lecturing or dismissing someone’s feelings,” Tyagi said.

He added, “Spirituality can give us inner strength, hope, perspective and a sense of connection, but serious mental-health distress should never be reduced to a lack of faith or spirituality. Meditation, prayer and spiritual practices can complement wellbeing, but when professional psychological or psychiatric support is required, people should be encouraged to seek it without hesitation.”

This distinction forms an important part of Go Spiritual’s Mental Health & Wellness initiatives. The organisation advocates an integrated approach that encourages spiritual wellbeing, meditation, positive living, compassionate relationships and community support while recognising the importance of psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, doctors and other qualified professionals.

Go Spiritual has been using its media, awareness and communication platforms to bring greater attention to mental health, emotional wellbeing, loneliness, family stress, student pressure, relationship difficulties and suicide prevention. Through Go Spiritual News Magazine & App, digital and social-media communication, articles, expert-oriented conversations, campaigns and planned multimedia initiatives, the organisation aims to make conversations about emotional wellbeing more accessible to ordinary families and young people.

The organisation believes that families have a particularly important role to play. Parents should create an environment in which children and young adults can discuss failure, relationships, examinations, career uncertainty, loneliness and emotional distress without fearing humiliation or comparison. Similarly, adults and senior citizens need spaces where they can speak about financial stress, marital problems, isolation, bereavement and other pressures without being dismissed.

Workplaces and educational institutions also need to recognise that mental health cannot be treated merely as a ceremonial subject discussed once or twice a year. Counselling access, supportive leadership, responsible workloads, anti-bullying measures, awareness programmes and early intervention can contribute to environments in which people feel safer asking for assistance.

WHO stresses that suicides are preventable and recommends a comprehensive, multisectoral approach. Its evidence-based LIVE LIFE framework includes limiting access to means of suicide, responsible media reporting, fostering socio-emotional life skills among young people, and early identification, assessment, management and follow-up for people affected by suicidal behaviours.

Responsible communication is particularly important. Suicide should neither be sensationalised nor romanticised. Media organisations, entertainment platforms and social-media users can contribute positively by reporting sensitively, avoiding harmful detail, providing appropriate support information and focusing on prevention, recovery and help-seeking.

Go Spiritual also emphasises the importance of simple human connection. Asking someone sincerely how they are doing, listening without immediately offering judgment, staying connected with a person going through a difficult period and helping them access professional support can matter enormously. The International Association for Suicide Prevention similarly highlights reaching out, listening and creating supportive conversations as meaningful ways individuals can contribute to changing the narrative.

At the same time, compassion should never become a substitute for professional intervention when a person may be at immediate risk. If someone talks about wanting to die, appears to be in acute danger or shows signs of a mental-health crisis, the situation should be taken seriously and appropriate professional or emergency assistance should be sought promptly.

For Go Spiritual, mental wellness and spirituality ultimately meet at a fundamental human value: compassion. Spirituality should help people become more sensitive to another person’s suffering rather than telling them simply to “be positive” or “be strong.” Sometimes what a distressed person needs first is not advice, but the assurance that somebody is willing to listen and stay with them while appropriate help is found.

“Every life has value, even when a person going through extreme distress may temporarily be unable to see that value themselves,” Tyagi said. “Our responsibility as families and as a society is to create hope, connection and access to help. We need fewer judgments and more conversations, fewer labels and more listening, and less stigma around professional mental-health support.”

As World Suicide Prevention Day 2026 calls upon the world to change the narrative and start the conversation, Go Spiritual believes the message should continue well beyond September 10. Mental-health awareness cannot be an annual social-media post. It needs to become part of how families communicate, how institutions function and how society responds to people experiencing emotional pain.

Sometimes a conversation can become the beginning of hope. Sometimes listening can become the beginning of healing. And sometimes asking a simple question—“Are you okay?”—can open a door that someone desperately needed to find.

Sonu Tyagi Counters Rahul Gandhi’s ‘80% Indians Are Non-Vegetarian’ Claim and ‘Non-Veg Food Is Delicious’ Remark

“Taste Cannot Be Greater Than Life”: Go Spiritual Founder Calls for Ahimsa, Compassion and Respect for Every Living Being

Mumbai/New Delhi: Sonu Tyagi, award-winning writer, director and producer and Founder of Go Spiritual and Approach Entertainment Group, has strongly countered Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s claim that “80% of Indians are non-vegetarian” and his remark that “Indian non-vegetarian food is delicious,” calling the 80% assertion a sweeping and misleading representation of India’s complex food habits and questioning why the life of an animal should be reduced to a matter of taste.

Gandhi made the remarks amid discussion over the vegetarian menu served at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. Tyagi said both statements deserve scrutiny—not from a political perspective, but from the standpoint of facts, India’s spiritual traditions and compassion towards animals.

The claim that 80% of Indians are non-vegetarian is a sweeping way of presenting an extremely diverse country. Where does this 80% figure come from? India cannot be reduced to one convenient statistic. And describing non-vegetarian food as ‘delicious’ is a personal preference, not a universal truth,” Tyagi said.

Available survey evidence presents a considerably more complex picture. A nationally representative Pew Research Center survey of 29,999 Indian adults found that 39% identify as vegetarian, while 61% do not. More significantly, 81% of Indians limit meat consumption in some way—by being vegetarian, avoiding certain meats or abstaining from meat on particular days. Among Hindus, 44% identify as vegetarian, while 83% either identify as vegetarian or restrict meat in some form.

“Not identifying as strictly vegetarian does not mean that someone regularly eats meat or that non-vegetarian food defines their diet,” Tyagi said. “India has strict vegetarians, predominantly vegetarian families, occasional meat eaters and millions who abstain on religious days or avoid particular meats. Calling all of this ‘80% non-vegetarian India’ creates a misleading picture.

Tyagi said the issue becomes even more important when viewed through India’s Hindu and Sanatan spiritual heritage. Hindu society has diverse regional food traditions, including both vegetarian and non-vegetarian practices, but Ahimsa, Karuna, Daya, Sattvic living, fasting, vegetarian Prasad and respect for living beings have deep roots within Hindu and Sanatan Dharma.

“Hindus constitute India’s largest religious community, and there is enormous diversity within Hindu society. But we should not allow that diversity to erase the higher spiritual ideals of Ahimsa and Karuna. Sanatan Dharma encourages us to expand our consciousness and compassion towards all living beings,” Tyagi said.

Responding specifically to Gandhi’s “delicious” remark, Tyagi said: “Taste Cannot Be Greater Than Life. Something may taste delicious to a person, but what was the cost to another living creature? Should an animal lose its entire life for a few moments of pleasure on our tongue? Animals experience fear, pain and the instinct to survive. Spirituality asks us to recognise that life.”

Sonu Tyagi

He added that India has one of the world’s richest vegetarian culinary traditions, encompassing countless preparations based on vegetables, pulses, grains, millets, fruits, dairy products and traditional Sattvic foods.

Why should India feel apologetic about serving vegetarian food to world leaders? India can offer extraordinary cuisine without taking an animal’s life. That should be celebrated as a strength of Indian civilisation, not treated as inadequate representation,” Tyagi said.

Tyagi clarified that Go Spiritual does not believe in imposing vegetarianism or attacking people for their food choices.

We advocate; we do not impose. We appeal; we do not threaten. A vegetarian does not automatically become a better human being, and a non-vegetarian should never be hated or humiliated. But freedom of choice does not mean that we stop discussing the ethical consequences of our choices.”

Through its Go Veg campaign, Go Spiritual advocates vegetarianism, Ahimsa and animal compassion through awareness and voluntary transformation.

Even if 80% were non-vegetarian, would that make killing an animal compassionate? Morality cannot be decided by percentages. Majority behaviour does not automatically become an ethical ideal. Human consciousness evolves when we question whether our choices cause unnecessary suffering,” Tyagi said.

He concluded: “Rahul Gandhi is entitled to his personal food preferences, like every Indian. But India is greater than an ‘80% non-vegetarian’ statistic. Indian cuisine is greater than meat. And life is greater than taste. An animal’s life is greater than a few moments of taste. Let us choose compassion whenever we have the choice.

मुंबई में पहली बार भक्तमाल कथा, आज गोपाल भट्टजी के चरित का होगा गुणगान

मुंबई। मायानगरी मुंबई में पहली बार भक्तमाल कथा का भव्य आयोजन हो रहा है। मुंबई के न्यू मरीन लाइंस स्थित बिरला मातोश्री सभागृह में 12 से 16 सितंबर तक पांच दिवसीय भक्तमाल कथा आयोजित की जा रही है। कथा का वाचन परम पूज्य गुरुदेव श्री पुंडरिक जी के श्रीमुखारविंद से हो रहा है। इस भक्तमाल कथा का आयोजन श्री जुगल बिहारी धूत एवं ज्योति प्रसाद तापड़िया परिवार के संयोजन में किया जा रहा है।

कथा के संबंध में आयोजक अजय धूत ने बताया कि भारतीय संत परंपरा में भक्तों की कथाओं को विशेष महत्व दिया गया है। मान्यता है कि भगवान की कथा मन को पवित्र करती है और भक्तों की कथा स्वयं भगवान को प्रसन्न करती है। भक्तमाल में वर्णित संतों एवं भक्तों का जीवन यह संदेश देता है कि विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी भक्ति, विश्वास और समर्पण का मार्ग नहीं छोड़ना चाहिए।

आयोजन का उद्देश्य भक्तों के जीवन, उनकी भक्ति, समर्पण और प्रभु के प्रति अटूट आस्था से समाज को परिचित कराना है।
जबकि संजीव तापड़िया ने कहा कि मुंबई की व्यस्त जीवनशैली के बीच यह आयोजन श्रद्धालुओं को कुछ समय आध्यात्मिक चिंतन, सत्संग और भक्ति के लिए समर्पित करने का अवसर प्रदान करेगा। मुंबई जैसे महानगर में पहली बार भक्तमाल कथा के आयोजन को लेकर श्रद्धालुओं में विशेष उत्साह है।
