Namaste


It has been my long time dream to explore the concepts behind our rich tradition, culture and rituals. While there is a reasonable amount of documentation available in terms of prayogams, what I call as operational procedures, I am afraid, if there is any authentic documentation available explaining the concepts and rationale behind these.

I sincerely believe that our vedic ancestors must have put quite a lot of thought process in architecting these. Unfortunately, we seem to have lost the essence and core concepts behind it. Knowledge attrition has already impacted our generation and I am sure lot of us are clueless and confused.


Rather than cascading what we know to our next generation, the intent of this blog is an attempt to explore the practices more from the conceptual standpoint.

I am also planning to take one Nithyakarma at a time and try to dive deep into it. Also, I have plans to document the concepts, translation, prayogams and also give a thought on how relevant some of the practices are in this century.
