चाहे कितनी भी ऊँची टहनी पर
फूल क्यों न खिल जाए,
लेकिन अपनी सुंदरता और सुगंध
तभी तक वह कायम रख सकता है,
जब तक वह जुड़ा रहता है
अपनी जड़ और मिट्टी से…
🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻
A flower may blossom
even on the topmost branch,
but it can retain
its beauty and fragrance,
as long as it remains attached
to its root and soil…

This question may sound stupid but what is Hindi/Hindu? Deep down, how does it make you feel? I’m NOT trying to convert you; I would just like to know from someone who lives it.

Hindi is language, while Hindu or Hinduism is religion, rather a way of life. It’s the oldest religion in the world, and I’m a proud believer. Just for knowledge, you just scroll down internet to know about it. You will come to know about its depth and breadth. It’s an excellent religion that believes in peaceful coexistence.
