Our Doctrine on Terrorism Has Evolved
Earlier, if there was a terrorist attack by Pakistan on India, our approach was largely defensive. We focused on sealing the borders, identifying the terrorists, preventing their escape, bringing them to justice, and seeking international support to condemn the act.
Now, the doctrine has fundamentally changed. Any act of terrorism against India will be considered an act of war.

Sadhna Series
Satvik, Rajasik and Tamsik states
There are three types of mental modifications: Sattvik, Rajasik and Tamasik.
To decrease Rajasik nature (desire, passion, greed)
To increase Sattvic nature (self-control, purity)
→ When you do what you want to hide from others (you are afraid about others knowing about it), it increases Tamo Guna. For example, when you have an exam coming and you know you should be studying but you're using social media on your computer, you know you're doing wrong and want to hide this from your parents and family members. Such activities increase Tamo Guna.
→ Doing what you want everyone to know increases Sattva Guna. In the above example, if you're studying a lot, you're proud of it and it's not something you want to hide. Such activities increase Sattva Guna.
The ideal balance of sattva, rajas, and tamas depends on your goals—whether spiritual, mental, or material.
For Spiritual Growth:
Active professionals may require more rajas, but should still keep sattva as the foundation.
Unhealthy lifestyles tend to increase tamas and rajas while reducing sattva.

For Spiritual Growth:

Rajas: Moderate (15–25%)

Active professionals may require more rajas, but should still keep sattva as the foundation.
Unhealthy lifestyles tend to increase tamas and rajas while reducing sattva.
