Some stories were never meant to be proven.

They were meant to be listened to.

In this episode of Echoes of Shiva, I reflect on an ancient narrative — not to debate its truth, but to explore the wisdom it carried.

Over time, we learned to measure, analyze, and compare… and in doing so, perhaps we stopped listening.

This is not about mythology versus science.

It’s about what gets lost when we judge the past only through the lens of the present.

Pause. Listen. And ask yourself —

what stories did we forget to hear?

India isn’t just a land of many people — it’s a land of many voices.

In this episode of Echoes of Shiva, we explore how languages were born, how regional tongues shaped identity, and why losing a language feels like losing a world.

From ancient language families to modern linguistic tensions, this episode asks:

Are we speaking our language… or is our language speaking us?

Pause. Reflect. And listen to the echoes within every word.

Dasara is not just a festival — it’s a mirror of faith, power, and culture.

From burning Ravana in the North, to worshipping Durga in the South, to the royal splendor of Mysuru Dasara — one day, many meanings.

But here’s the deeper question: is Dasara a religious ritual, a cultural identity, or a secular celebration of unity?

Maybe it has always been all three.

Pause. Reflect. And see what Dasara means to you.
