Samkhya philosophy - braking down the world’s material ingredients / the churning of the milk ocean / faith comes in small increments /  the good in bad within us - which will win? /  All that there is within the universe to satisfy one’s senses cannot satisfy a person whose senses are uncontrolled / the glories of Mother Ganga / the comic book pundits / makara sankranti / our technology is making us dumber
