    This book “देवताओं का मौन (The Gods have gone silent)” is a philosophical journey into the very living heart of non-dual Vedanta. 
    Today our modern existence rests on the loss and disappearance of the fact-value distinction that embody science and technological development at the expense of what it means to be a living being. It traces the essence of Vedanta through the streets and crossings of modern India and engages with extraordinary living masters in trying to answer some of our most pressing spiritual questions such as:What is this dwelling and who is this dweller.How is the dweller to chalk his way to his being?Who are the modern Rishis and how are we to become one?If Truth cannot be acquired or learnt, then how can it be transmitted. 
    How do we know it, If it is the indescribable, undefinable, unutterable, unspeakable, incommunicable, ineffable; beyond words, beyond description, then by what and in what are we to seek its body.

    What happens when you put good people in a bad place? 
    That was the question that an experiment in 1971 set out to answer when Stanford University professor and psychologist Philip Zimbardo used funding provided by the U.S. Office of Naval Research to create a make-believe prison in the basement of a university building. Male students were offered the chance to take part in the two-week experiment (and to make $15 per day). All applicants were carefully screened to ensure that they were healthy, emotionally and psychologically stable. 24 men were selected out of 75 that had applied. These men were then randomly assigned to play the role of either prisoners or guards in the “prison.” 
    Initially, nobody was particularly concerned: after all, these were stable, intelligent young men who understood that they would be playing a role for just two weeks. Some people even considered that the experiment was pointless because everyone involved knew that they were simply acting roles for a limited time, so they couldn’t be expected to behave in the ways that real prisoners and guards did. 
    Nonetheless, the experiment began on August 15th, 1971, and just six days later, on August 20th, it was abruptly and unexpectedly terminated after the “guards” had become brutal and sadistic and the “prisoners” had become withdrawn, fearful, and apathetic. There were real concerns that someone might end up being seriously hurt or suffer long-term psychological damage. 
    How could a group of nice, healthy, intelligent young men suddenly transform into sadistic thugs? How could another equally intelligent group of young men suddenly become apathetic victims of this brutality? What did this say about the malleability of human behavior, even when everyone involved knew that this wasn’t real?

    Dreamtime, also known as "The Dreaming," is the foundational concept of Aboriginal culture and spirituality. It is a complex, multifaceted belief system that encompasses creation stories, spiritual teachings, and an understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. Dreamtime is not confined to a particular period in history but is viewed as an ongoing reality, a state of being that transcends time and exists both in the past and in the present. For Aboriginal people, Dreamtime is both a spiritual truth and a living tradition that shapes their worldview, guiding their actions, relationships, and understanding of the natural world. 
    The significance of Dreamtime lies in its ability to explain the origins of the world, the laws governing life, and the connection between humans, animals, plants, and the land. At its core, Dreamtime is a spiritual map, describing the creation of the earth, the formation of natural features, and the roles of various creator beings. These beings, often depicted as animals, deities, or ancestral spirits, shaped the land, created life, and established the laws of existence. Through Dreamtime stories, Aboriginal people understand their place within the larger web of life, their responsibilities toward the environment, and the moral code they follow to maintain balance and harmony.

    Retirement homes have long been presented as safe, comfortable spaces where the elderly can receive the care and attention they need. Advertisements and brochures paint a picture of vibrant communities where seniors enjoy social engagement, personalized assistance, and a high quality of life. However, the reality is often far different from the promises made by these facilities. Beneath the polished marketing lies a world filled with hidden fees, chronic understaffing, cases of neglect, and, in some instances, outright abuse. Families who entrust their loved ones to these institutions frequently find themselves disillusioned and powerless when the level of care does not meet expectations.  
      
    As the global population ages, the demand for elderly care continues to rise. Many families struggle to provide adequate care for aging relatives due to financial constraints, work obligations, or a lack of medical expertise. This increasing need has turned the elder care industry into a multi-billion-dollar business, where profit often takes precedence over patient well-being. While some retirement homes genuinely strive to offer excellent care, far too many are plagued by systemic issues that compromise residents’ safety and dignity. Reports of malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical supervision are disturbingly common, highlighting the urgent need for greater oversight and reform.  
      
    One of the biggest misconceptions about retirement homes is that they provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each resident’s needs. In reality, many facilities operate with skeleton staff, forcing overworked caregivers to juggle multiple responsibilities with little time for individual attention. Underfunding and mismanagement lead to situations where residents’ health deteriorates due to neglect, improper medication administration, and a lack of emotional support.
