June 2022 issue
Namaste,
I would like to express my excitement on reading the Issue 6/2022 publication. The finesse of the author’s style and articulation of words is highly praiseworthy. It is refreshing to see the nature of the articles and matters being dealt with as these are burning issues in the everyday life of people and communities. Being married in Vedic rights, I found further insight on the prescribed doctrines and meaning behind key words such as Vivaaha, Parinaya and Upayama to mention just a few. On the topic of social conventions, I really think that this needs to be inculcated into all facets of Hindu bodies…..
In hindsight, as I reflect on my wedding day, I would have rather toned down the expenditure towards the fancy items, for rather the upliftment of the poor and elderly. Once again, I accept I was flawed and sucked into the grips of keeping up to societal norms. Seeing topics pertaining to gender equality, maintenance practices and being discussed on this platform is also heart-warming as this is our reality and further augments the progressive thinking and pragmatism of the South African leadership and movement at large. In summary, I really really really commend the methodology and charismatic approach of he publication as one that is forward-thinking, visionary, and relevant. Thank you for translating in-depth concepts so eloquently. Truly food for the soul and sought-after thought-provoking conversations have been manifested from this read amongst myself and my peers. Paramathma’s blessings to your team and know your conscientious efforts are far reached and
sincerely appreciated.
