This may appear small in monetary terms — but my life’s real wealth is in fighting for communities, justice, and human dignity.
For over two decades, I have dedicated myself not to accumulating wealth, but to empowering the marginalized, amplifying survivors’ voices, and working to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.
👉 True dignity is not measured by income, but by the values we uphold and the lives we touch.

💡 व्यक्तिगत चिंतन
वित्तीय वर्ष 2025–26 में मेरी घोषित आय ₹50,080 है।
यह राशि आर्थिक दृष्टि से भले ही छोटी लगे — लेकिन मेरे जीवन की सच्ची संपत्ति है समुदायों के लिए संघर्ष करना, न्याय की राह पर डटे रहना और मानव गरिमा की रक्षा करना।
पिछले दो दशकों से मेरा संकल्प धन संचय करने का नहीं रहा, बल्कि हाशिए पर खड़े लोगों को सशक्त बनाने, पीड़ितों की आवाज़ बुलंद करने और लोकतंत्र तथा क़ानून के राज को मजबूत करने का रहा है।
👉 असली गरिमा आय से नहीं मापी जाती, बल्कि उन मूल्यों से मापी जाती है जिन्हें हम जीते हैं और उन जीवनों से जिन्हें हम छूते हैं।
मां कूष्मांडा सूर्य मंडल के भीतर निवास करती हैं और उन्हें ब्रह्मांड की उत्पत्ति का कारण भी कहा गया है। उनके आठ हाथ हैं और प्रत्येक हाथ में अलग-अलग दिव्य वस्तुएं हैं, जैसे जपमाला, कमल का फूल, धनुष, बाण, अमृत कलश आदि। सिंह की सवारी करने वाली मां कूष्मांडा असीम ऊर्जा और तेज की प्रतीक मानी जाती हैं।
उनकी उपासना से भक्तों का आत्मबल बढ़ता है, जीवन में सकारात्मकता आती है और भौतिक तथा आध्यात्मिक उन्नति का मार्ग प्रशस्त होता है। ऐसा विश्वास है कि मां कूष्मांडा की आराधना करने से आयु, यश, बल और आरोग्य की प्राप्ति होती है।
नवरात्र के इस पावन अवसर पर मां की भक्ति न केवल व्यक्ति की इच्छाओं को पूर्ण करती है, बल्कि जीवन में स्थिरता, ज्ञान और शक्ति का संचार करती है।
On the fourth day of Sharadiya Navratri, devotees worship the fourth form of Goddess Durga – Maa Kushmanda. According to ancient texts, the worship of Maa Kushmanda blesses devotees with good health, wealth, and prosperity. She removes diseases and sorrows from life, while bringing peace, positivity, and harmony.
Maa Kushmanda is believed to reside in the core of the Sun, radiating energy to the universe. She is also credited as the creator of the cosmos. With her eight hands, she carries divine objects like a rosary, lotus, bow, arrow, nectar pot, and more. Riding on a lion, she represents boundless energy, courage, and vitality.
Worshiping her strengthens the inner self, brings positivity into life, and leads to both material and spiritual growth. Devotees believe that her blessings bring long life, fame, strength, and good health.
The worship of Maa Kushmanda is not just about fulfilling desires but also about cultivating stability, wisdom, and inner power. This Navratri, let us bow before her and embrace her divine energy to lead a life filled with peace, progress, and prosperity.
Life is precious. It is said that after traversing 8.4 million life forms, one is born as a human being — a rare and fortunate birth. With this privilege comes responsibility: to live with dignity and follow the values embedded in our culture and traditions.
Just as laws ensure justice in society, discipline (maryada) safeguards harmony in our personal lives. Ignoring it leads to chaos and decline, both socially and spiritually. In our scriptures and wisdom traditions, discipline is not just about rules, but about living a meaningful, balanced, and ethical life.
When individuals uphold discipline, their lives gain purpose, direction, and inner strength. A person without discipline may achieve external success, but they lack the moral foundation to sustain it. Discipline is what shapes thought, behavior, and ultimately the destiny of an individual and society.
Discipline extends to every sphere of life — from family values and social conduct to political ethics and spiritual practice. Without discipline, relationships weaken, society loses balance, and faith becomes hollow. But when practiced, discipline fosters respect, humility, peace, and collective well-being.
In today’s world, where distractions and temptations are many, discipline is more vital than ever. It is the guiding light that helps us distinguish between need and greed, between right and wrong. By following it, we not only honor our culture but also contribute to a more just and compassionate world.
As our traditions remind us, true freedom lies not in living without limits, but in living with self-restraint, awareness, and responsibility. Discipline is not a burden — it is the path to dignity, strength, and fulfillment.
