Unmasking Visceral Fat: The Hidden Dumpster Fire Inside Your Body
Populations adapted by developing energy-conserving physiology — efficient fat storage, early insulin resistance (to prioritise glucose for the brain), and lower lean muscle mass.
But when this “thrifty” biology meets modern abundance — high-refined-carb diets, low physical activity — the same traits become maladaptive:→ less muscle mass, less subcutaneous storage, more spillover into visceral depots.

Taming the Restless Mind: Insights from the Bhagavad Gita on Philosophy, Psychology, and Everyday Practice
The balance of effort (practice) and detachment (dispassion) parallels modern concepts in psychology: behavioural conditioning and cognitive distancing.

Yoga, the Triune Brain, and the Dissolution of Fear: How Patanjali’s Path Rewires Survival Itself

Reality behind Reality: If Memories Fade, What Remains?
If our lives hinge on memories—real, imagined, or ephemeral—then what is reality? A collective hallucination? A neurological glitch in an indifferent cosmos? And if Alzheimer's or a rogue dream can dissolve it all, why persist? What purpose animates our striving—the careers we chase, the bonds we nurture, the dreams we dare? Why should we do anything when the ground beneath us is quicksand?
