A Divine and Logistical Marvel

Dear Editor,

Thank you for your comprehensive coverage of the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in the February 2025 issue of Desh-Videsh. It is truly awe-inspiring to witness how ancient spirituality meets modern logistics on such a grand scale. The seamless integration of tradition with cutting-edge safety measures and infrastructure upgrades is a testament to India’s capability to honor its cultural roots while embracing progress.

Sincerely,
Vikram Mehta, Atlanta, GA

Honoring the Kalpvasis

Dear Editor,

I was particularly moved by the mention of over 2 million Kalpvasis who are dedicating an entire month to prayer, discipline, and spiritual reflection. In today’s fast-paced world, such devotion is not only rare but deeply inspiring. Their commitment reminds us all of the power of faith and the depth of Sanatan Dharma.

Warm regards,

Cultural Pride on a Global Stage

Dear Editor,

Your article beautifully highlights how the Maha Kumbh Mela in the recent issue of Desh-Videsh is not just a religious event but a cultural phenomenon recognized worldwide. The presence of international pilgrims, UNESCO recognition, and planned world records speak volumes about India’s soft power. It fills me with immense pride to see our heritage celebrated on such a global stage.

With appreciation,

Re: “Parenting Do’s and Don’ts” by Dr. Meenakshi Iyer

Dear Editor,

Dr. Meenakshi Iyer’s article in the February issue of Desh-Videsh offers a thoughtful, balanced approach to modern parenting. I especially appreciated the emphasis on emotional intelligence, unconditional love, and not projecting our dreams onto our children. Her practical tips serve as a valuable reminder that parenting is more about presence than perfection.

Dear Editor,

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your recent editorial in February Issue. It was not just a travelogue—it was a heartfelt journey through India’s soul. Your vivid descriptions of South India, the awe-inspiring Statue of Unity, and the spiritual depth of Mount Abu brought back my own memories of similar visits.
The sections on Akshaya Patra and the solar lamp initiative were especially touching. It’s inspiring to see how meaningful travel can blend exploration with seva. Thank you for reminding us that our roots and responsibilities go hand-in-hand, and that our bucket lists can be filled with both wonders and wisdom.

Warm regards,
