Golden Reverie: An Ode to Lakshmi Puja

 The crisp autumn air, a sweet, saffron whisper,

As twilight descends and the sun starts to sliver.

 The earth holds its breath, for a moment serene,

Awaiting the radiance of a most sacred scene.

Through every clean home, from the shelf to the floor,

Small lamps flicker bright, at the window and door. 

The earthen Diyas like stars brought to ground, 

Chasing the darkness that gathers around.

On the altar, the Goddess, in crimson and gold,

 Her merciful tale, eternally told.

The Lotus she sits  on, in full, gentle bloom, 

A promise of purity dispelling all gloom.

From the first silent hour till the last Aarti rings,

The hopeful devotion the whole family brings. 

Maa Lakshmi descends on the homes of the kind,

Leaving abundance for body and mind.

Dussehra: The Victory That Lives Within.

Image
 Every year, as the evening sky glows with the burning effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhkaran, we celebrate the triumph of good over evil. But beyond the fireworks and festivities, Dussehra is more than a historical event - it is a mirror that reflects our inner battles.  Ravana, with his ten heads, was not just a king. His ten heads represented anger, arrogance, lust, jealousy, attachment, hatred, ego, selfishness, and injustice - these demons still reside in us silently. Lord Rama's victory was not only a triumph on the battlefield but also an eternal lesson: no matter how powerful or deeply rooted the demon is, it can never outshine righteousness and truth.  In today's fast-paced world, the relevance of Dussehra has not only grown, but we are also facing battles on social media, against corruption around us, against inequalities, and, most importantly, against the weaknesses within us.  It is easy to cheer when the towering figure of Ravana collapses into fl...

The Cosmic Blueprint: Importance of Mandala in Indian culture.

Image
  The Mandala holds immense significance in Indian culture, transcending mere artistic design to function as a profound spiritual and philosophical symbol. The word "mandala" itself is Sanskrit for "circle" or "essence-container." Fundamentally, the Mandala is a symbolic diagram of the cosmos, with its geometric patterns radiating from a central point. It represents the ordered nature of the universe, encompassing both its vastness and our place within it.  In Hinduism and Buddhism,  the Mandala is used as an aid for meditation and contemplation by focusing on the intricate, radially balanced design and mental journey, taking it to the centre practitioner's aim to achieve spiritual progress, inner peace, and connect with the divine to attain enlightenment.  In Hinduism, a basic mandala is often called a Yantra , which is a geometric composition used in rituals and meditation, considered to be the abode of a deity or a revelatory symbol of cosmic trut...

Igniting Imagination in Young Minds.

Image
  On 8th October 2025, Thought Lantern, in collaboration with Cambridge Montessori School Sector 20, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, organized a Storytelling competition. This event was not only a testament to children's imagination but also a chance to encourage them to come forward and narrate stories lying inside their minds and in the corner of their hearts. This is also an open message that Thought Lantern openly supports young talent, and without any discrimination, we create a safe place for these young minds to open up freely. This event was a success; every teacher and student put their best foot forward and supported Thought Lantern. There is so much talent hiding inside a child who frames the map of this world; no story is big or small, everything is narrated for a reason, and the young minds are always clear about what they want to create a story.  Prize distribution was done after the event, and the deserving candidates won their share of rewards. It is not always about re...
