Our state of well being can let us deal with situations much better. If we are in the moment, if we are happy, if we are content; we can work around all possible issues. If we are not in the moment, if our mind is wondering at places, if our thoughts are rushing, we tend to not focus on anything. Somethings can be worked out, and that can start from self. #TheVedicDiscourse #Manthan #WhatIsGod #AdityaShastri #TheModernMonk #ModernMonk #SanatanDharma #Spirituality #VedicDiscourse #Vedas #Knowledge #Hinduism https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCbxnkHE9o/?igshid=1rtev4eww16px

Some eyes can convey stories that can not be expressed in words. (at Kastur Park Borivali) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-3YgZHku1/?igshid=1q1lppnhvpv2y

Vedic Culture has knowledge in abundance. All you need is to enjoy the “Ras” of this culture. Modern day management talks about consistency; well Sanskrit Shubhashitas have been talking about the same. Certain aspects of life won’t change, that’s the same with knowledge, virtues and wealth. You need to consistently study, do good deeds and work to accumulate your wealth. You can’t be a one time wonder kid always. One needs to do things gradually and slowly. #TheVedicDiscourse #VedicDiscourse #VedicCulture #Indology #AdityaShastri #TheModernMonk (at Borivali West, Mumbai (Suburban)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK55qkXHT0c/?igshid=1mnf4369tjsch

Sometimes a mid night conversations are far better than daily dinners. I am bored of saying family that eats together stays together, I rather say, family that shares together, opens up together, empathises each other, supports each other, is honest with each other, stays together. #TheModernVedicFamily #TheModernMonk #ModernMonkModernFamily #Family #LaFamilia #AdityaShastri #Bond #talks #midnighttalks https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2-Bh4HhH8/?igshid=5ma880e47nys

Comment if “Me” if you are one of such unique people, who accepts modernity but the heart is still old school. As much as you love tech, you still love to spend sometime with yourself. As much as social you are, you spend time in self introspection. As much access you have of information, you still seek wisdom. As much as other people sham your belief system, you still seek answers for practices in your community or religion. As much western I could wear, that ethnic look still makes me feel more me. As much I would love the word to be my friend, yet some relations and relatives are beyond the socialising culture and it’s a relation of faith and having each other’s back. You could be on WhatsApp, yet you don’t talk but when you meet, it’s all cool. Comment “me” if you wish to reconcile with your own roots. #AdityaShastri #TheModernMonk #TheVedicDiscourse# VedicDiscourse #ModernMonk #Quote #Spirituality #Ethnic #Ethnicity #Thoughts #Wisdom #Indology #Indologist (at Andheri West) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK0lPn4Hmq-/?igshid=1tzokejdzvh6s

When someone tells me I believe in energy and not God. When someone tells me I believe in God and energy. When someone tells me, I believe in law of attraction but not God. When someone tells me, I believe in Prakriti and Purush. My reaction: “Kehna Kya Chahte Ho?” “Saaf saaf bato”. @thevedicdiscourse could you help? #MonkWhoGotConfused #PeopleConfusedTheMonk #TheModernMonk #ModernMonk #God #Spirituality #Religion #Answers #Curiosity https://www.instagram.com/p/CKwlb2HnIL2/?igshid=gp9s80b2pcw

Good qualities put their footprints everywhere. पदं हि सर्वत्र गुणैर्निधीयते । And remember, footprints can only be seen when you progress, when you proceed, when you pace forward; because footprints are seen when looked backwards. “नेकी कर दरिया में डाल” Do your things, and move. :) What’s your take on it? #TheModernMonk #TheVedicDiscourse #ModernMonk #AdityaShastri #WorkInProgress #Qualities #SelfMotivation #Motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CKk6YEwH00l/?igshid=6mwci4s091of

For all your cousins between the age of 10-16, here is a chance to know more about “Does God Exist”.

Never knew what pores were, never knew what messy Shikha looked like, never knew that all people don’t have good intentions, never knew that some battles need to be taught by oneself, never knew what it feels to cage someone until someone tried caging you, never knew what happens when someone close by just vanishes without saying a word and you don’t even get a chance to say a proper good bye. Never knew a lot of things, and that’s the beauty of it, you keep learning and knowing new things. And that never knew, changes over the period of time. You will always come across novice “never knew”. #TheModernMonk #ModernMonk #TheVedicDiscourse #AdityaShastri #Spirituality #Motivation #NeverKnew https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWzlFpHWwc/?igshid=likjdweiihnj

Knowledge, wealth and power; it can make a wicked person argumentative, self centred and tortuous whereas the same three elements can make a “good” - Sajjan (सज्जन) a learned, someone who can donate and even a person who can protect. It’s all about a choice. #TheModernMonk #ModernMonk #AdityaShastriChoices #Spirituality विद्या विवादाय धनं मदाय शक्तिः परेषां परिपीडनाय। खलस्य साधोः विपरीतमेतद् ज्ञानाय दानाय च रक्षणाय॥ https://www.instagram.com/p/CKT8ke1nAuN/?igshid=1kk69aokpcdxk

Don’t let your self doubt kill you. Spend some time in understanding who you are, where are you from, what are you here for, what’s the way forward, what you need along. Simple yet effective questions can make you astonished. #TheModernMonk #ModernMonk #AdityaShastri #Spirituality #Introspection #SelfDoubt #Belief (at Borivali West, Mumbai (Suburban)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRnXh6nBd6/?igshid=jxg9saoinvbe

Cheeky expressions, masked faces, somehow we manage to do that others don’t. It’s fun to have walk with his vision and improvising things on the way. It allows flexibility and harmony all the way. PS. I was not discussing life or philosophy with him. We were in the moment as to what is left in the car 😂 PC: @devkbhanushali Vani- Behind the scenes for @varshitranka and nikitadholakiya wedding! #TheModernMonk #ModernMonkFather #FatherTooAModernMonk #Marriage #Wedding #Vani https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNqOIPH7d6/?igshid=1r1md3zkl1vx4

Apparently Upanishads say The way your mind functions, you speak such a language. The way you speak a language, your behaviour is in a way. And if you behave in way, you indulge with others accordingly. यद् मनसा ध्यायति तद् वाचा वदति, यद् वाचा वदति तत् कर्मणा करोति, यत् कर्मणा करोति तद् व्यवहरति || When such a thought came, trust me it got me into some deep thinking. #FridayNight #Spirituality #Realisation #Psychology #ModernMonk #TheModernMonk https://www.instagram.com/p/CJysCI4ng3m/?igshid=g1xd3dlzxk2f

Around 13 years ago my dad launched his website on this very same day of the Utsav of Shri Gusainiji. After drafting multiple series of thoughts, to put forward the divine principles of @pushtiras (Pushtimarg), @thevedicdiscourse - for aligning with the roots of Sanatan Dharma; presenting to you the official logo of Modern Monk.

We live as if there is no tomorrow? You planned your life so well, who will plan your own death? Don’t you want to be liberated? Will small sorrows, major pains, minor happiness or major moments affect you. Even if they do, can you navigate through. Well, that’s what Krushna says in Geeta to Arjun in Adhyay 2. O Arjun, noblest amongst men, that person who is not affected by happiness and distress, and remains steady in both, becomes eligible for liberation. यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ | समदु:खसुखं धीरं सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते || 15|| That’s the stage of a Yogi!
