Hey Indians! Let’s be proud to be INDIAN and look INDIAN…

“This looks very Indian, we should do something mainstream..”

“How can we change it so it doesn’t look too Indian?”

I have heard a lot of Indians say this! Yes, it is unfortunate!

We hail from a country that has a rich heritage.. has had the most amazing spiritual masters.. that is known for its history and talent... Yet why do we want to be someone who we are not.. Why do we always want to project ourselves as something that we are NOT?

Isn’t is better to stay original.. to stay true to what we are.. rather than trying to fit in …

India is the largest democracy in the world.. and today is our Independence Day.. and i take an oath on this special day not to entertain anyone who tells me to change things just to look mainstream….

People don’t have any inhibitions to learn kung fu from a chinese master or to learn karate from a japanese master… similarly, yoga and meditation has its roots in India… It is a very ancient practice in india.. and we are proud to offer it to the whole wide world.. But trying to present it in a way that it would not look indian.. so we could attract the westerners, is not the way to go about it! Embrace the fact… tear open the masks… Let’s feel proud.. and be authentic!!

Jaihind!
