Why spiritual detox is becoming the top wellness trend in 2025
In an era where wellness has become synonymous with green juices, fitness trackers, and mindfulness apps, the idea of a spiritual detox may seem unfamiliar—yet it is precisely what this age of burnout, overstimulation, and quiet despair is yearning physical detoxification removes harmful substances from the body, spiritual detox cleanses the subtler layers of our existence—our thoughts, emotions, attachments, and unconscious impressions. It is a sacred inner realignment where we begin to shed the mental residue of fear, comparison, resentment, and self-neglect. Unlike a fad or fleeting resolution, this is a timeless call echoed in the ancient scriptures: "Antah shuddhi – inner purification is the highest virtue."advertisementSamshantamsarvasankalpah Ya shilantarivasthithih Jaadya Nidra vinirmuktaa Saa swaswaroopaSthitismtitahOur true inner nature, as described in the Vasistha Gita, is a peaceful state free from thoughts, much like the calm within a stone. Spiritual detox is not an escape from life but a return to our true essence. It involves practices that purify the inner self—such as silence, prayer, meditation, mantra, selfless service, time in nature, and self-reflection. This process encourages us to slow down and listen to the quiet voice of truth Bhagavad Gita speaks of the Sthitapraja—one who is calm amidst chaos, unaffected by praise or blame. This is the fruit of spiritual detox: the ability to engage with life from a space of steadiness rather than reactivity. Emotional wounds lose their grip. Cravings subside. Peace becomes less circumstantial and more often speak of mental health, but rarely do we explore mental hygiene—the daily inner cleansing required to prevent spiritual stagnation. Just as a cluttered room affects our focus, a cluttered consciousness clouds our vision of who we are. Our ancient seers understood this deeply. They prescribed daily introspection, periods of noble silence (Mauna), and the company of the wise (Satsang) to prevent inner toxins we carry—envy, ego, guilt, insecurity—do not announce themselves as physical ailments. But they manifest as constant dissatisfaction, broken relationships, and a lack of meaning. A spiritual detox, done earnestly, helps us confront and release these distortions. Why spiritual detox is becoming the top wellness trend in 2025 This trend, therefore, is not about luxury or leisure but about liberation. It is the reclaiming of one's inner sovereignty. As Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, Founder of Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission, often says, "You are not what the world made you. "You are what God meant you to be." To realise this, we must first unlearn the noise and relearn the 2025, as the world seeks healing beyond the superficial, spiritual detox emerges not just as a practice but as a profound necessity. The journey inward is no longer optional. It is essential.- Ends

Mumbai Tenant Asks Why Landlords Treat ‘Deposit Like A Personal Bonus Fund?'
The Redditor has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the landlord. A Reddit user shared their experience dealing with a landlord in Navi Mumbai after vacating a rented flat four months into a one-year agreement. Despite following all terms and maintaining the flat well, they are now struggling to recover the full security deposit. In a post titled, 'Are all Mumbai landlords crackheads?," the user explained that they had signed a one-year rental agreement for a flat in Navi Mumbai but had to move out after four months due to personal reasons. 'So here's the deal. I had rented a flat in Navi Mumbai and signed a 1-year agreement. But due to some personal reasons, I had to move out after 4 months. There was no lock-in period mentioned in the agreement, so I followed the rules and gave a proper 1-month notice, as required," the user wrote. The user didn't just leave, they took care to return the flat in excellent shape. 'Before moving out, I even made sure to get the place professionally deep cleaned and repainted any walls that needed touch-ups," they explained. This was done 'just to hand the flat back in the best condition possible, the same way I received it." They had paid Rs 40,000 as a security deposit. But after vacating, only Rs 20,000 was returned. The user wrote, 'Now here comes the circus. I had paid Rs 40,000 as a security deposit when I moved in. After vacating, I've been politely and repeatedly following up for over a month, and this guy has only returned Rs 20,000 so far." When they asked for the remaining Rs 20,000, the landlord gave what the user called 'the wildest excuses." He said he had to pay Rs 10,000 to a new broker and that his previous broker didn't refund him the earlier brokerage. 'So I'm expected to cover his losses. Like… what??" the user said. 'Honestly, the way some landlords here operate is mind-boggling. They treat the deposit like it's their personal bonus fund. And after that his audacity to send me a emoji on serious text," the user concluded. They also attached screenshots of their WhatsApp conversation with the landlord over the security deposit. The post gained significant attention and in the comments section many people shared their opinions. One user commented, 'If there was no lock in period in agreement he cannot penalise you post-facto." Another shared, 'I swear to God, dealing with owners for deposit is just crazy and frustrating AF. I gave notice as part of the agreement but still after a month not yet received the deposit. I hate dealing with these entitled**." 'Most landlords in Mumbai are obnoxious and extremely difficult to deal with. They usually have ties with the brokers. This scammy combo is always on the lookout to scam the tenant," someone said. A person pointed out, 'Kindly read your rent agreement once and check what it says, if there is a lock-in of 6 months, and it is explicitly mentioned what happens if you leave before 6 months, he has all the rights to keep the deposit…and if it wasn't mentioned then you are liable to get it back. Now in general if I am renting out my property I would keep 6 months locked-in ..and if the tenant stay is purely short term, I would inflate the rent by 10-15 per cent." The user also mentioned that they have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the landlord and will also send a legal notice through their lawyer friend.

Bishop Rojas on rise in ICE raids: ‘It is not of the Gospel of Jesus Christ'
After the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered Church properties in California, Bishop Rojas has issued a message calling for an end to tactics that cause 'a tremendous amount of fear, confusion, and anxiety.' Jun 28, 2025 Members in a prayer group holds hands, while vans transporting migrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) depart from the ICE Broadview Service Staging Area, in Broadview, Illinois By Kielce GussieOn June 23, Bishop Alberto Rojas of the Diocese of San Bernardino, California, issued a letter responding to recent reports of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents entering Catholic churches. Moving onto Church property On June 20, diocesan officials stated ICE agents entered two Catholic parish properties in Montclair and Highland and detained multiple people in the parking lot of St. Adelaide Church in Highland, California. The director of communications for the Diocese of San Bernardino, John Andrews, said those detained did not work for the parish nor were they parishioners. However, he did report that one male parishioner was taken into custody at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Montclair on June 20. We are with you Bishop Rojas, who heads the sixth-largest Catholic diocese in the United States, strongly condemned the ramping up of ICE activities. In his message to the Catholic community, he pointed out that 'authorities are now seizing brothers and sisters indiscriminately, without respect for their right to due process and their dignity as children of God.' He expressed his solidarity and closeness to the immigrant communities 'who are bearing the trauma and injustice of these tactics,' reminding them that 'we join you in carrying this very difficult cross.' The Bishop stressed his support for law enforcement doing their job to protect the community from violence criminals. At the same time, he emphasized that now ICE is detaining people as they leave their homes, offices, and other public settings. Pointing out that there is at least one recorded incident of ICE agents entering Church property, Bishop Rojas acknowledged that this creates fear, confusion, and anxiety. 'It is not of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—which guides us in all that we do.' A call for change The Bishop called on all political leaders to 'reconsider and cease these tactics immediately' and replace them 'in favor of an approach that respects human rights and human dignity.' These changes can help build 'a more lasting, comprehensive reform of our immigration system.' As many people voice their opposition to the current ICE tactics, Bishop Rojas challenged protestors to 'act without vulgarity, violence toward others, or destruction of property' to avoid a furthering of tension. Closing his message, the Bishop reflected on a statement Pope Francis once told him—that the Pontiff's greatest fear was division. 'It is painful to see such division amongst God's people at this moment,' Bishop Rojas continued, because this is contrary to God's plan for His children. In the context of the Jubilee Year of Hope, he urged everyone to share the hope of Christ to the world, as 'this hope is an antidote to the strife and suffering in our communities.'--Vatican News
