Is God Really Dead?

-Rajeeva Nayan Pathak 

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche didn’t mean that a divine being literally died. He meant that we—as a society—have pushed God out. Through changing norms, veils of hypocrisy, and the shiny but shallow modern world, we've replaced faith with convenience, conscience with comfort.

Let’s reflect through three lives.

The Pauper:

He wakes up hungry, not hopeful. He searches for food, not truth. His days are not for prayer but for survival. To him, God is silent. Forgotten. Society’s indifference has killed God. Its shiny promises ignore the hungry and the homeless.

The Billionaire:

He lives in power built on shortcuts and shadows. He has no need for a divine judge; his wealth shields him. For him, God is dead because God would have questioned his ways. Society applauds his success, not his soul.

The Middle-Income Earner:

He walks the tightrope of life—trying to stay honest, trying to stay afloat. He lights a lamp each morning, not out of habit, but hope. For him, God must live—else, so will collapse his values. His faith is his discipline, his dignity.

And We?

We killed God—not with hate, but with neglect.
We forgot values in the race for validation.
We buried meaning beneath materialism.

But if even one person still believes in compassion, truth, and humility—maybe God isn’t gone. Maybe He waits to return through us.


***Jai Hind***

Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan - Rajeeva Nayan Pathak Good morning everyone, Today we celebrate Raksha Bandhan—a festival of love, trust, and responsibility. A sister ties a rakhi on her brother’s wrist, and the brother promises protection. Boys—this is for you. When your sister ties that rakhi, she is trusting you with her safety, her dignity, her peace of mind. To keep that trust, you must be strong—not just in body, but in mind and in character. Strength means—studying well, making a goal, staying away from bad habits, and standing for what is right. Take a vow today—to be a man your sister, your family, and your nation can rely on. Girls—this is for you. Why should you always depend on someone else for protection? Be independent. Study hard. Exercise. Learn self-defense. Make your own goal—and chase it with courage. Be so strong that you can protect yourself, and also stand beside your brothers when they need you. My dear students— True protection is not given, it is ...

Radha and Krishna: The Eternal Dance of the Ideal Lover

Radha and Krishna: The Eternal Dance of the Ideal Lover - Rajeeva Nayan Pathak In youth, many hearts beat to the rhythm of dreams — of romance, of adventure, of a connection so pure that it feels almost divine. Yet, as life unfolds, disappointments settle like dust upon the soul. People change, reality frays the edges of ideals, and the shining visions of our younger years fade into muted memories. But in the pages of sacred literature, there exists a love untouched by time or disillusionment — the love of Radha and Krishna. In them, we see not just a romance, but the very embodiment of the Ideal Lover, the artist of hearts, who reflects the deepest yearnings of the soul. In Krishna, Radha finds her eternal counterpart; in Radha, Krishna discovers the mirror of his own bliss. Together, they dwell in a realm where dreams never wear out — the eternal Vrindavan. The Srimad-Bhagavatam paints Krishna as the enchanter of all — the flute-player whose melody pierces through the veils of ...

Book Review - Nine Hours to Rama

Book Review  Reviewed by - Rajeeva Nayan Pathak  Name of the book - Nine Hours to Rama Writer - Stanley Wolpert First Published - 1962 ''Nine Hours to Rama'' by Stanley Wolpert is a powerful historical novel that explores the final hours leading up to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Though the book is fictional, it is based on real events and real people, especially the man who killed Gandhi—Nathuram Godse. Through a careful mix of storytelling, psychological insight, and historical background, Wolpert presents a deep and troubling portrait of a man driven by extreme beliefs and a country torn apart by violence and division. The story takes place over nine hours on the day of Gandhi's death, January 30, 1948. During this short time, the novel moves between the present and the past, using flashbacks to help readers understand how Godse’s thoughts and actions developed over the years. Godse is not shown simply as a villain; instead, he is portrayed as a deeply di...
