Seeing India Through New Eyes They say you can’t truly appreciate something when you’re too close to it—sometimes, the clearest perspective comes from the outside. India: A Story in the Making has given me that fresh lens, making me look at India—and its spiritual depth—not just as someone born into it, but through the eyes of those who found their way to it. Why Would Someone Leave Everything Behind for a Vedic Life? What makes a Canadian-Israeli woman transform into Sukhyanti—embracing a life so deeply rooted in Vedic tradition that she wakes at 4 AM, sends her children to a Gurukul, and lives without modern comforts—yet calls it comforting? How does someone like Vallabhi, who lost her husband young and raised a child alone, find unshakable solace in Krishna—believing that all she must do is keep doing her duty because Krishna still means well? And what led Henriett, a ballerina, filmmaker, and teacher from an aristocratic Hungarian family to India? A simple stone from the Himalayas sparked something in her—drawing her first to yoga, then to the Kumbh, where she was given the name Ganga. Why is the World Turning to Indian Spirituality? What Makes Kumbh More Than Just a Dip in the Ganges? But is this just belief? Or is there an ancient science behind it? Is There a Science Behind Kumbh’s Spiritual Power? What does Kumbh symbolise? What Does This Mean for the World? At its core, Indian spirituality isn’t about geography—it’s about connection.  I found mine through Sukhyanti, Vallabhi, and Ganga’s unique journeys, offering me a new way of looking at Kumbh—a festival I grew up with in Ujjain but never saw through this lens. It was clear: whether through mass rituals like Kumbh or solitude in places like Krishna Valley, people are seeking the same thing—a deeper, more meaningful way to exist.  The common thread? Hindu spirituality. 🔴 A FASCINATING EPISODE: STORIES OF SUKHYANTI, VALLABHI, AND GANGA HELPING ME UNDERSTAND: Why the World is Tuning into Indian Spirituality Live NOW.
