Hinduism Today

To start this exploration, let’s first look at gravity. Gravity is not a force. It is not objects pulling on each other across empty space. It is not even—despite the famous analogy—heavy things making dips in a cosmic trampoline that other things roll into. All of these images, while compelling, miss what relativity actually reveals: that gravity is not primarily bent space, it is mostly bent time. This is not a metaphor. Clocks closer to Earth tick measurably slower than those farther away—GPS satellites constantly correct for this drift to stay accurate.

A major religious decision has been taken in Uttarakhand ahead of the Char Dham Yatra 2026. The Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee has passed a resolution prohibiting the entry of non-Hindus into 47 temples under its jurisdiction, including the sacred shrines of Badrinath and Kedarnath, according to News Nine. The resolution was passed during the BKTC’s budget meeting held on March 10 at its camp office in Dehradun. Chaired by BKTC President Hemant Dwivedi, the meeting approved a budget of us$13 million for the financial year 2026-27. The most closely watched proposal was the ban on non-Hindus, which was unanimously passed.
