khushboo shrivastava

By Sonu Tyagi, Founder, Go Spiritual

Lord Ganesha is worshipped as the remover of obstacles, the giver of wisdom and the symbol of auspicious beginnings. Ganesh Chaturthi should therefore inspire wisdom, humility, discipline, compassion and inner purification. Unfortunately, much of what we witness today, particularly during Ganpati Visarjan, appears to have moved far away from these spiritual values. What was intended to unite society has increasingly become a competition over who can install the biggest Ganpati idol, organise the grandest procession, spend the most money and create the loudest noise.

There is an important historical distinction that must first be understood. Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak did not begin the worship of Lord Ganesha or invent the ancient spiritual practice of idol immersion. Lord Ganesha had been worshipped privately in Indian homes and temples for centuries. What Tilak did in the 1890s was transform the largely private Ganesh Chaturthi celebration into an organised public festival, popularly known as Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav.

India was under British rule at the time, political gatherings faced restrictions and society remained divided by caste, class and community. Tilak understood that a public celebration centred on Lord Ganesha could bring people together on a common cultural platform. Public Ganeshotsav celebrations became spaces for patriotic speeches, cultural programmes, social awareness, community interaction and discussions about India’s freedom. The larger purpose was to awaken national consciousness, strengthen unity and mobilise people against colonial rule.

Tilak used the public Ganesh festival as a powerful means of national awakening. He did not create it as a competition for gigantic idols, deafening sound systems, vulgar dancing, political promotion or the display of money and power. Its purpose was unity, but today it often becomes competition. Its purpose was national awakening, but today it is frequently reduced to commercial promotion. Its purpose was meaningful public participation, but today it is too often associated with noise, obstruction, extravagance and spectacle.

We must therefore ask an uncomfortable but necessary question: Is this spirituality, or has it become drama?

During many immersion processions, traditional prayers and devotional songs are pushed aside by inappropriate film songs, vulgar remixes and meaningless music played at unbearable volumes. People dance as if they are participating in a commercial street show rather than respectfully bidding farewell to a sacred form of Lord Ganesha. Roads are blocked for hours, hospital patients suffer, senior citizens are disturbed, students cannot study, animals become terrified and local residents are forced to endure the celebration whether they wish to participate or not.

Can an activity that causes suffering to others honestly be called devotion? A celebration does not become spiritual merely because the name of God has been attached to it. If our way of celebrating Lord Ganesha creates obstacles for thousands of people, what message are we giving to the God we worship as the remover of obstacles?

Then there is the growing competition to create increasingly enormous idols. Every mandal appears determined to prove that its Ganpati is taller, grander and more expensive than the others. But is the physical size of an idol a measure of the depth of our faith? Does a fifty-foot idol represent greater devotion than a small clay Ganpati worshipped with honesty in an ordinary home? God cannot be measured in feet, decorations, expenditure, crowd size or social-media views. A small idol accompanied by sincere devotion is infinitely more spiritual than a gigantic idol surrounded by ego, noise and publicity.

The environmental consequences are equally troubling. Idols made with Plaster of Paris, chemical paints and non-biodegradable materials can pollute seas, rivers and lakes. Plastic, thermocol, flowers, decorations and other waste are frequently left behind at immersion sites. We call our rivers sacred and then pollute them in the name of religion. We worship nature as divine and simultaneously damage it through our rituals. This contradiction cannot be defended as faith or tradition.

The present form of competitive, noisy and environmentally destructive Ganpati Visarjan must now stop. This does not mean that devotion to Lord Ganesha should stop, nor does it mean that Ganeshotsav itself should end. It means that the drama, competition, vulgarity, noise and pollution surrounding the celebration must end. We must preserve the spiritual essence while reforming practices that harm people, animals and nature.

Families and communities can worship small idols made from natural clay. Immersion can be conducted symbolically at home or in designated artificial ponds. Public mandals can organise peaceful prayers, meditation, devotional music, community meals, blood-donation camps, educational programmes, tree plantations, assistance for poor families and environmental initiatives. Instead of spending enormous amounts of money on decorations, DJs and sound systems, that money could educate underprivileged children, support hospitals, feed hungry people, help struggling families or protect animals.

Would Lord Ganesha not be happier if a poor child received an education in His name? Would feeding a hungry person not be a greater offering than playing loud music until midnight? Would planting and protecting trees not be more sacred than polluting the sea? Would helping a distressed family overcome its difficulties not honour the remover of obstacles more meaningfully than creating obstacles on public roads?

We must also reconsider our understanding of puja. Lighting a lamp, offering flowers, performing an aarti and reciting prayers can be beautiful expressions of devotion, but rituals without truth, compassion and ethical conduct are empty. God does not need our expensive decorations, deafening music or public display. God wants us to remove ego, greed, cruelty, dishonesty, anger and selfishness from our lives.

God does not love drama; God loves reality. God is not impressed by how loudly we announce our devotion. God sees how honestly and compassionately we live when there is no crowd watching us. Real spirituality is visible in how we treat our parents, families, employees, neighbours, animals and the environment. It is reflected in whether we earn ethically, speak truthfully, help vulnerable people and show kindness to every living being.

A person may perform an elaborate puja every day, but if that person exploits others, spreads hatred, behaves dishonestly or remains indifferent to suffering, the ritual has not created spirituality. Puja should transform our character. If it does not make us more truthful, peaceful and compassionate, it has remained only an external performance.

Lord Ganesha represents wisdom. If our celebration lacks wisdom, can we honestly call it Ganeshotsav? Lord Ganesha removes obstacles. If our processions create obstacles for ambulances, patients, elderly people, working citizens and entire neighbourhoods, are we truly honouring Him? Lord Ganesha represents auspiciousness. If our celebration pollutes water and frightens animals, what is auspicious about it?

Bal Gangadhar Tilak gave public Ganeshotsav a powerful social and national purpose suited to the needs of his time. India today is independent. Our responsibility is to give the festival a peaceful, compassionate, socially meaningful and environmentally responsible purpose for our time. Let Ganeshotsav continue as a celebration of devotion, wisdom, unity and service, but let the competition, vulgar songs, deafening noise, pollution and meaningless display end.

The most meaningful visarjan is not simply the immersion of an idol in water. The real visarjan is the immersion of our ego, anger, greed, dishonesty, hatred, pretence and selfishness. When these qualities dissolve within us, Lord Ganesha truly enters our hearts. That is devotion. That is spirituality. Everything else is merely drama.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 76 on September 17, 2026, with birthday wishes coming from across India’s political and public life. Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Modi has spent more than two decades in elected executive office, first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and, since 2014, as Prime Minister of India.

For a spiritual and wellness publication, however, his birthday also offers an occasion to look at a distinctive dimension of his years in national leadership: the prominent place given to Yoga, pilgrimage centres, temples, Buddhist heritage, Indian philosophy and the idea of “seva” — service — as part of the country’s cultural conversation.

Modi has himself spoken publicly about spirituality as an influence on his life. In an interaction published by the Prime Minister’s Office, he recalled that his inclination towards spirituality began at a young age and referred to the Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda principle of “Jan Seva Hi Prabhu Seva” — service to people is service to the Divine — as an important inspiration.

That relationship between spirituality and service has continued to appear in his public language. In 2026, while speaking at the inauguration of Seva Teerth and Kartavya Bhavan in New Delhi, Modi invoked the idea of “Seva Paramo Dharmah”, describing service as a fundamental duty and connecting governance with responsibility towards people.

The spiritual theme is visible even in some of the events surrounding his birthday this year. In Varanasi, his Lok Sabha constituency and one of Hinduism’s most sacred cities, 76 priests performed a Ganga Abhishek to mark his 76th birthday. In Gujarat, religious and community programmes included prayers, diya-lighting and other events. Separately, public-service campaigns around the birthday have included health camps, blood donation, cleanliness and plantation activities.

Taking Yoga From India to the World

Perhaps the most internationally visible spiritual and wellness initiative associated with Modi’s premiership has been the International Day of Yoga.

During his address to the United Nations General Assembly in September 2014, Modi proposed an International Day of Yoga. The UN General Assembly subsequently adopted June 21 as the International Day of Yoga, with 177 countries co-sponsoring the resolution. The first International Day of Yoga was observed in 2015, with Modi leading a mass yoga programme in New Delhi.

Over the years, he has repeatedly presented Yoga not simply as physical exercise but as a holistic tradition connecting the body, mind, individual consciousness and wellbeing. In June 2026, he again highlighted Yoga’s roots in India’s spiritual heritage, while also sharing a Sanskrit verse honouring Maharishi Patanjali and stressing Yoga’s role in keeping the body healthy and the mind calm.

The globalisation of Yoga is significant from a spiritual perspective because it has taken an ancient Indian discipline into public spaces, schools, institutions and communities around the world. Yoga today is practised in many different religious, secular, fitness and wellness contexts, but its philosophical origins remain deeply connected with India’s spiritual traditions.

Kashi Vishwanath Dham: Reconnecting a Sacred City

Another major initiative during Modi’s tenure has been the redevelopment of the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham in Varanasi.

When Modi inaugurated the redeveloped complex in December 2021, he described it as more than a physical structure, calling it a symbol of India’s Sanatan culture and spiritual heritage. The project significantly transformed the area surrounding the historic Kashi Vishwanath Temple and improved connectivity between the temple and the Ganga.

Kashi occupies a unique place in India’s spiritual imagination. For millions of devotees, it is not simply a destination but a teerth — a sacred space associated with Lord Shiva, liberation, knowledge and the timeless relationship between life and death.

The redevelopment of pilgrimage infrastructure in Kashi has also represented a broader policy approach described by the government as “Virasat Bhi, Vikas Bhi” — heritage alongside development. In June 2026, Modi said that efforts ranging from bringing antiquities back to India to strengthening spiritual and pilgrimage infrastructure were intended to reconnect people with India’s traditions.

Mahakal Lok and the Spiritual Consciousness of Ujjain

The development of Shri Mahakal Lok in Ujjain has been another prominent spiritual heritage project associated with Modi’s tenure.

While dedicating the first phase of the project in 2022, Modi linked the restoration and development of India’s pilgrimage centres with the revival of cultural and spiritual consciousness. His address also referred to work at Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath, Kedarnath-Badrinath and other places of faith.

Ujjain, home to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, has been a centre of Hindu spirituality, Shaivism, pilgrimage and learning for centuries. The Mahakal Lok project sought to expand the experience and infrastructure around this ancient centre of worship while presenting its religious stories and symbolism to contemporary visitors.

Kedarnath and the Legacy of Adi Shankaracharya

In the Himalayas, the redevelopment of Kedarnath Dham has similarly combined pilgrimage infrastructure with the restoration of spiritual heritage.

In November 2021, Modi inaugurated the reconstructed Samadhi of Adi Shankaracharya and unveiled a statue of the philosopher-saint at Kedarnath. During his address, he spoke about Adi Shankaracharya’s contribution to Indian philosophy and his emphasis on human welfare and a holistic understanding of life.

The symbolism is significant. Adi Shankaracharya occupies an extraordinary position in India’s philosophical history, particularly in the Advaita Vedanta tradition, and is traditionally associated with the revival and consolidation of important spiritual centres across India.

For modern pilgrims, improved infrastructure at places such as Kedarnath can make difficult sacred journeys more accessible, although development in ecologically sensitive Himalayan regions also requires continuing attention to environmental sustainability and carrying capacity.

Ayodhya and the Ram Mandir

The consecration of Ram Lalla at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22, 2024 became one of the most prominent religious events of Modi’s premiership.

Ahead of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, Modi announced that he would undertake an 11-day special spiritual observance, describing his role in the ceremony as a major responsibility and speaking about preparing himself spiritually for the occasion.

The Ram Mandir has profound religious significance for its devotees and has also been at the centre of a long and politically consequential historical dispute. Its consecration therefore carried religious, cultural and political meanings that different Indians may interpret differently. From a spiritual perspective, however, Ayodhya’s renewed prominence has brought the teachings and symbolism associated with Lord Ram — including dharma, maryada, duty, sacrifice and service — back into widespread public discussion.

India’s Buddhist Heritage and the Message of Compassion

Modi’s cultural-spiritual outreach has not been limited to Hindu pilgrimage traditions. His government has also highlighted India’s connection with Buddhism and Lord Buddha’s teachings.

In 2026, Modi inaugurated an international exposition of sacred Piprahwa relics associated with Bhagwan Buddha in New Delhi. Speaking there, he described India’s connection with Buddhist countries as extending beyond diplomacy and economics to bonds of faith and spirituality. He also pointed to infrastructure and visitor facilities being developed at Buddhist sites including Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Shravasti, Kapilvastu, Kushinagar, Sanchi and others.

In July 2026, Modi welcomed Sarnath’s inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, highlighting its association with Buddha and the ideals of wisdom, compassion and harmony.

Buddhism gives India a particularly powerful spiritual connection with many countries across Asia. Buddha’s teachings of compassion, mindfulness, the Middle Path and freedom from suffering also resonate strongly with contemporary conversations around inner wellbeing and mental peace.

Spirituality Beyond Ritual

The larger spiritual question raised by these initiatives goes beyond the construction or redevelopment of temples and pilgrimage corridors.

Indian spirituality has traditionally placed great emphasis on the transformation of the individual. Temples, sacred rivers, pilgrimages, Yoga, meditation and rituals can provide pathways, but the deeper teachings repeatedly return to values such as seva, compassion, self-discipline, truthfulness, detachment, humility and concern for others.

That makes the idea of service particularly relevant on a birthday.

The observance of Modi’s 76th birthday through some programmes centred on service, health, cleanliness, plantation and community activity reflects an interpretation of spirituality in which worship is accompanied by action.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi completes 76 years of life, his years in office have coincided with a highly visible revival and redevelopment of several of India’s major spiritual and cultural centres and with efforts to give traditions such as Yoga a wider global platform. Supporters see these initiatives as a renewed assertion of India’s civilisational heritage, while debates around the relationship between religion, culture, politics and the state remain part of India’s democratic discourse.

For Go Spiritual, the enduring message of any spiritual journey remains larger than an individual or a government: spirituality ultimately finds its deepest expression when inner awareness becomes compassion, responsibility and service to humanity.

On Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, that timeless Indian idea — Seva as Sadhana, service as a spiritual practice — offers a message that can extend beyond politics and speak to everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“स्वाद जीवन से बड़ा नहीं हो सकता”: गो स्पिरिचुअल के संस्थापक ने अहिंसा, करुणा और हर जीव के प्रति सम्मान की अपील की

मुंबई/नई दिल्ली: अवार्ड-विनिंग लेखक, निर्देशक और निर्माता तथा गो स्पिरिचुअल और अप्रोच एंटरटेनमेंट ग्रुप के संस्थापक सोनू त्यागी ने कांग्रेस नेता राहुल गांधी के “80% भारतीय नॉन–वेज हैं” और “भारत का नॉन–वेज खाना स्वादिष्ट है” वाले बयान पर कड़ा जवाब दिया है। सोनू त्यागी ने कहा कि भारत जैसे विशाल और अलग-अलग खान-पान की परंपराओं वाले देश को केवल 80% के एक आंकड़े में समेटना सही नहीं है। उन्होंने कहा कि खाने का स्वाद किसी जीव के जीवन से बड़ा नहीं हो सकता।

राहुल गांधी ने नई दिल्ली में ब्रिक्स शिखर सम्मेलन के दौरान परोसे गए शाकाहारी खाने को लेकर चल रही चर्चा के बीच यह बयान दिया। इस पर सोनू त्यागी ने कहा कि इस मुद्दे को केवल राजनीति के नजरिए से नहीं, बल्कि तथ्यों, भारत की आध्यात्मिक परंपराओं, अहिंसा और पशुओं के प्रति करुणा के नजरिए से भी देखने की जरूरत है।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “80% भारतीय नॉन–वेज हैं, यह आंकड़ा आखिर आया कहां से? भारत बहुत बड़ा और विविध देश है। यहां हर राज्य, हर क्षेत्र और यहां तक कि अलग–अलग परिवारों की खाने की आदतें अलग हैं। भारत को केवल एक आंकड़े से नहीं समझा जा सकता। इसी तरह ‘नॉन–वेज खाना स्वादिष्ट है’ किसी व्यक्ति की अपनी पसंद हो सकती है, लेकिन इसे हर भारतीय की पसंद नहीं कहा जा सकता।”

उपलब्ध सर्वे के आंकड़े भी भारत की खाने की आदतों की अलग तस्वीर दिखाते हैं। प्यू रिसर्च सेंटर द्वारा 29,999 भारतीय वयस्कों पर किए गए राष्ट्रीय सर्वे के अनुसार 39% भारतीयों ने खुद को शाकाहारी बताया। सर्वे में यह भी सामने आया कि 81% भारतीय किसी न किसी रूप में मांस खाने पर रोक या सीमा रखते हैं। वे या तो पूरी तरह शाकाहारी हैं, कुछ प्रकार का मांस नहीं खाते या कुछ खास दिनों में मांसाहार नहीं करते। हिंदुओं में 44% लोगों ने खुद को शाकाहारी बताया, जबकि 83% हिंदू या तो शाकाहारी हैं या किसी न किसी रूप में मांस खाने पर रोक रखते हैं।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “कोई व्यक्ति खुद को पूरी तरह शाकाहारी नहीं बताता, इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि वह रोज नॉन–वेज खाता है। भारत में बड़ी संख्या में ऐसे परिवार हैं जिनका रोज का भोजन शाकाहारी है, लेकिन वे कभी–कभी नॉन–वेज खाते हैं। करोड़ों लोग धार्मिक दिनों, व्रत, त्योहारों और खास अवसरों पर नॉन–वेज नहीं खाते। ऐसे सभी लोगों को एक साथ जोड़कर ‘80% नॉन–वेज भारत’ कहना पूरी तस्वीर नहीं दिखाता।”

उन्होंने कहा कि इस बहस को हिंदू और सनातन धर्म की आध्यात्मिक परंपराओं के नजरिए से भी समझना चाहिए। हिंदू समाज में अलग-अलग क्षेत्रों की अपनी भोजन परंपराएं हैं और इस विविधता का सम्मान होना चाहिए। लेकिन इसके साथ ही अहिंसा, करुणा, दया, सात्विक भोजन, व्रत, शाकाहारी प्रसाद और हर जीव के प्रति सम्मान हिंदू और सनातन परंपरा में गहराई से जुड़े हुए हैं।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “हिंदू और सनातन धर्म हमें केवल पूजा–पाठ नहीं सिखाते, बल्कि दया, करुणा और अहिंसा भी सिखाते हैं। हमारी आध्यात्मिक परंपरा हमें अपने साथ–साथ दूसरे जीवों के जीवन का भी सम्मान करना सिखाती है। अलग–अलग भोजन परंपराओं का सम्मान होना चाहिए, लेकिन अहिंसा और करुणा जैसे मूल आदर्शों को भी नहीं भूलना चाहिए।”

राहुल गांधी के “नॉन–वेज खाना स्वादिष्ट है” वाले बयान पर सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “स्वाद जीवन से बड़ा नहीं हो सकता। कोई चीज हमें स्वादिष्ट लग सकती है, लेकिन हमें यह भी सोचना चाहिए कि उस स्वाद के लिए किसी दूसरे जीव ने क्या कीमत चुकाई। क्या हमारी जीभ के कुछ मिनट के स्वाद के लिए किसी जानवर का पूरा जीवन खत्म हो जाना चाहिए? पशुओं को भी दर्द होता है, उन्हें भी डर लगता है और वे भी जीना चाहते हैं।”

उन्होंने कहा कि भारत के पास दुनिया की सबसे समृद्ध शाकाहारी भोजन परंपराओं में से एक है। देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में सब्जियों, दालों, अनाज, मोटे अनाज, फलों, दूध से बने खाद्य पदार्थों और सात्विक भोजन की हजारों स्वादिष्ट चीजें उपलब्ध हैं।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “दुनिया के नेताओं को शाकाहारी भोजन परोसने पर भारत को शर्मिंदा होने की क्या जरूरत है? हमें तो इस पर गर्व होना चाहिए। भारत बिना किसी जीव की जान लिए दुनिया को शानदार और स्वादिष्ट भोजन परोस सकता है। यह हमारी कमजोरी नहीं, बल्कि हमारी संस्कृति और भोजन परंपरा की ताकत है।”

उन्होंने साफ किया कि गो स्पिरिचुअल किसी व्यक्ति पर शाकाहार थोपने में विश्वास नहीं करता। सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “हम समझाते हैं, थोपते नहीं। हम अपील करते हैं, धमकी नहीं देते। केवल शाकाहारी होने से कोई इंसान अपने आप अच्छा नहीं बन जाता और नॉन–वेज खाने वाले व्यक्ति से नफरत करना या उसका अपमान करना भी सही नहीं है। लेकिन अपनी पसंद की आजादी का मतलब यह नहीं है कि हम अपने खाने से जुड़े नैतिक सवालों पर बात ही न करें।”

अपने गो वेज अभियान के माध्यम से गो स्पिरिचुअल शाकाहार, अहिंसा, पशुओं के प्रति दया और करुणा को जागरूकता के जरिए बढ़ावा दे रहा है।

सोनू त्यागी ने कहा, “मान लीजिए कि 80% वाला आंकड़ा सही भी हो, तब भी क्या ज्यादा लोगों के किसी चीज को करने से वह सही और करुणामय हो जाती है? नैतिकता का फैसला प्रतिशत से नहीं होता। जब हमारे पास ऐसे भोजन के विकल्प मौजूद हैं जिनके लिए किसी जानवर की जान नहीं जाती, तो हमें करुणा वाले विकल्प के बारे में जरूर सोचना चाहिए।”

उन्होंने कहा, “राहुल गांधी को अपनी पसंद का खाना खाने का पूरा अधिकार है, जैसे हर भारतीय को है। लेकिन भारत केवल ‘80% नॉन–वेज’ का आंकड़ा नहीं है। भारतीय भोजन केवल मांसाहार नहीं है। और सबसे बड़ी बात—जीवन स्वाद से बड़ा है। किसी जानवर का पूरा जीवन हमारी जीभ के कुछ मिनट के स्वाद से कहीं ज्यादा कीमती है। जहां हमारे पास विकल्प हो, वहां हमें करुणा को चुनना चाहिए।”

सोनू त्यागी एक अवार्ड–विनिंग लेखक, निर्देशक और निर्माता तथा गो स्पिरिचुअल और अप्रोच एंटरटेनमेंट ग्रुप के संस्थापक हैं। उन्हें मीडिया, पत्रकारिता, विज्ञापन, जनसंपर्क, फिल्म और मनोरंजन के क्षेत्र में दो दशकों से अधिक का अनुभव है। वे अध्यात्म, मानवता, शाकाहार, अहिंसा, पशुओं के प्रति करुणा और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के लिए लगातार आवाज उठाते रहे हैं। उनका मानना है कि अध्यात्म केवल पूजा-पाठ तक सीमित नहीं होना चाहिए, बल्कि हमारे रोजमर्रा के जीवन और हर जीव के प्रति हमारे व्यवहार में भी दिखाई देना चाहिए। सोनू त्यागी

“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.”

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.”

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.

Sonu Tyagi, Founder of Go Spiritual and Approach Entertainment, believes spirituality should move beyond rituals and become visible in everyday life. An award-winning writer, director and producer with more than two decades of experience in media, communications, advertising, films and entertainment, Tyagi advocates humanity, spiritual awareness, vegetarianism, non-violence, animal compassion and mental-health awareness.

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!

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।

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।”

Go Spiritual Founder says the higher ideals of Hindu and Sanatani spirituality are rooted in Ahimsa, Karuna and Sattvic living; advocates vegetarianism through awareness and compassion rather than force

Mumbai/New Delhi: Amid the continuing debate over non-vegetarian food during Durga Puja, Sonu Tyagi, Founder of Go Spiritual and Approach Entertainment, has called for the controversy to move beyond politics, personalities and regional confrontation and become a deeper conversation about Hindu spirituality, Sanatani values, Ahimsa, animal compassion and conscious food choices.

The controversy has sparked a wider discussion around food, faith and regional traditions, particularly in West Bengal. While some have appealed to devotees to avoid fish and meat during the sacred festival period, others have defended Bengal’s distinctive religious, cultural and culinary traditions. Tyagi said India’s diversity should be respected, but the debate also provides an opportunity to reflect on the deeper purpose of spirituality.

“Hindu spirituality teaches compassion. If we worship the Divine Mother, why not show compassion to all living beings? Durga Puja and Navratri celebrate Shakti, devotion and the victory of good over evil. Worship should not end at a temple or pandal. If our devotion is meaningful, it should gradually make us kinder and more compassionate towards human beings, animals and nature,” Tyagi said.

Tyagi clarified that Go Spiritual does not want to enter into personal or political arguments involving any religious leader, politician, organisation or party. Instead, the organisation wants to focus on a larger spiritual question: whether faith and religious practice can inspire people to reduce avoidable suffering and live more consciously.

According to Tyagi, Hinduism and Sanatan Dharma encompass diverse traditions, customs and philosophical schools, and food habits have varied across communities and historical periods. However, acknowledging that diversity should not prevent Hindus and Sanatanis from discussing the higher spiritual ideals of Ahimsa, Daya, Karuna, Sattva, self-restraint and reverence for life.

“History may tell us what different people ate or practised at different points in time, but Dharma should also inspire us to think about what we ought to become. Spirituality is a journey towards greater awareness, purity, self-restraint and compassion. For Go Spiritual, vegetarianism is a natural expression of that journey,” Tyagi said.

He pointed to the importance of Sattvic food, vegetarian Prasad and vegetarian practices followed across numerous Hindu temples, Vaishnava traditions and spiritual institutions. Go Spiritual has previously argued that selective historical examples of meat consumption or animal sacrifice should not overshadow the extensive traditions of Ahimsa, compassion and vegetarian living within Hindu and Sanatani thought.

Tyagi stressed, however, that vegetarianism should never become a source of ego or moral superiority. “Being vegetarian does not automatically make someone a better human being, and eating non-vegetarian food does not define somebody’s entire character. But we should still ask a simple question: when we have the possibility of nourishing ourselves without taking an animal’s life, why should we not consider the more compassionate choice?”

For Tyagi, Ahimsa extends beyond avoiding violence between human beings. Animals experience pain, fear and an instinct to survive, and spirituality should encourage greater sensitivity towards their suffering. “An animal’s life is greater than a few moments of taste. We cannot eliminate every form of harm from human existence, but that cannot become an excuse for avoidable suffering,” he said.

At the same time, Tyagi strongly opposed imposing vegetarianism through intimidation or cultural confrontation. “We advocate; we do not impose. We appeal; we do not threaten. If we speak about Ahimsa while insulting another human being, we contradict the philosophy we claim to represent. You cannot create compassion through force; you can awaken it through awareness.”

Tyagi also cautioned against making food a test of religious identity. “No food debate should become a certificate of who is or is not a Hindu or Sanatani. Hindu and Sanatani traditions are far too vast and profound to be reduced to somebody’s plate. Respecting cultural diversity and advocating vegetarianism are not contradictory. We can respect people while encouraging them to consider more compassionate choices.”

Referring to Durga Puja, Tyagi said worship of Maa Durga as the Divine Mother offers a powerful opportunity for introspection. “When we seek the Divine Mother’s protection, strength and compassion, can that feeling of motherhood also expand towards other living beings? True spirituality should enlarge the circle of our compassion. India does not need another angry argument over food. India needs a compassionate conversation.”

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।

Mumbai: Approach Entertainment, the award-winning Celebrity & Talent Management, Films Productions, Advertising & Corporate Films Productions, Films Marketing, Events and Entertainment Marketing company, has announced the signing of acclaimed Indian classical singer Mousumi Chakraborty, marking a significant addition to its growing artist and talent management portfolio.

Under the association, Approach Entertainment will spearhead Mousumi Chakraborty’s artist management, live concerts, music projects, collaborations, brand associations, appearances and entertainment opportunities, while Approach Communications, the group’s award-winning PR, Digital & Integrated Communications agency, will drive her media positioning, publicity, digital strategy and integrated communications. The partnership will focus on strengthening her presence across India while exploring international opportunities for her music.

Deeply rooted in the traditions of Indian classical music, Mousumi brings together rigorous training, an illustrious musical lineage and years of performance experience. Born into a musical family, she began learning classical vocal music at a very young age from her father, Shri P. C. Chakraborty, a disciple of renowned sarangi maestro Late Ustad Sagiruddin Khan of the Delhi Gharana. She subsequently received direct training from Ustad Sagiruddin Khan until his demise in 1993.

Her musical journey was further shaped under Late maestro Pandit Samaresh Chawdhury, a distinguished vocalist and disciple of Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar, representing the Rampur-Senia Gharana. Mousumi remained under his regular tutelage until 2018. She also received advanced talim from renowned Samvadhini maestro Late Pandit Manohar Chimote in Mumbai and eminent sarod player Pandit Joydeep Ghosh of the Shahjahanpur Gharana.

Mousumi’s achievements underline her standing as an accomplished classical singer. A First Class Honours Graduate in Music from Acharya Vinoba Bhave University, she was awarded a National Scholarship by the Government of India’s Human Resource Department from 1998 to 2000. She also won First Prize at the national-level All India Radio Music Competition in Khayal in 1998.

She is a graded artiste and regular performer with All India Radio Mumbai and has been honoured with the prestigious Navras Award by Navras Records Mumbai, as well as recognition from Sanskar Bharati. Over the years, she has performed at prominent music concerts and platforms across the country, including the Concert of Swar-Sadhana Samiti, an organisation co-founded by late legendary tabla maestro Dr. Aban E. Mistry, in Mumbai; Salt Lake City Music Conference, Kolkata; Navrang Music Concert, Kolkata; Sangeet Piyasi, Kolkata; Uttarpara Music Festival, Kolkata; concerts by Sangaat & Saptak, Mumbai; and the Concert of Surashree, Gujarat, besides other classical music forums.

Adding another significant dimension to her association with the classical music fraternity, Mousumi Chakraborty was also invited by Dr. Aban E. Mistry to serve as a judge for a classical vocal competition in the senior category held in Mumbai.

Speaking about the association, Mousumi Chakraborty said, “Indian classical music has been at the heart of my life since childhood. I have been fortunate to learn from exceptional gurus who gave me not only musical knowledge but also discipline and respect for our traditions. I am delighted to associate with Approach Entertainment and Sonu Tyagi. I look forward to taking my music to wider audiences while remaining deeply connected to the classical tradition that has shaped my journey.”

Sonu Tyagi, Founder & Director of Approach Entertainment Group, said, “Mousumi Chakraborty is an artist with authenticity, depth and a remarkable classical foundation. At a time when music is reaching audiences through an unprecedented range of platforms, we believe there is tremendous potential to take accomplished Indian classical artists to newer audiences without compromising the purity of their art. We are delighted to welcome Mousumi to Approach Entertainment.”

He added, “Our strategy will go beyond conventional artist management. We will work towards building a strong, long-term positioning for Mousumi across music, concerts, festivals, digital platforms, cultural collaborations, brands and international opportunities. Approach Communications will complement this with an integrated PR and digital campaign to bring her artistic journey and music to a much wider audience.”

The signing comes as Approach Entertainment expands its focus on music, artists, original content and live entertainment. The company plans to explore curated opportunities for Mousumi involving classical concerts, music festivals, digital performances, original releases and collaborations with composers and musicians, alongside cultural and international platforms. The larger objective is to connect the depth of Indian classical music with contemporary audiences and create opportunities for the tradition to travel across formats, generations and geographies.
