Touch beyond the feeling

Sense beyond the seeing

Move beyond the doing

Listen beyond the hearing

Engage beyond the working

Give  beyond the gaining

Think beyond the worrying

Play beyond the winning

Blend beyond the bordering

Involve beyond the training

Share beyond the owning

Will beyond the trying

Help beyond the supporting

Heal beyond the curing

Flow beyond the envisioning

Care beyond the loving

Dare beyond the comforting

Explore beyond the limiting

Reach beyond the knowing

Live beyond the existing…

Know the Infinite is the truth of our being!

Flourish in forgiveness and awaken to regeneration.

 In every step to forgive there is the silent contemplation.

The ability to see other perspectives and dimension.

An exercise in forgiveness is bountiful in expansion.

 One look at the stars above and the earth below

 Is all you need to know your place under the sun.

As the magnanimity of the universe knocks on you as times flow.

You reach the acknowledgement  that all is one.

Core is the source, in unity of consciousness.

  As every form follows an awakening of its being.

 Life manifests uniquely in all its profoundness.

To transcend beyond the limits of your understanding.

A Sunday well spent sharing the magic of Dance with these endearing kids at the School for the Visually impaired children @ Pune .
Getting set to begin the Cha cha cha …

I went to teach these kids in my spare time
And came back with learnings for a lifetime .

I went there with a dance lesson to impart
And I came home with a gladdened  heart

I reached out to hold one hand today
And I was surrounded with tiny arms in sway

I shared with them some fun and glee
And I got in touch with the spirit of dance in me

I understand they may not see my face ever
But their memories are now my hearts  treasure forever.

These are a few children in the circle of love
Who cannot see but live happily in the now

For them time is in the sound they hear
Before you arrive they can sense you near

Life is a vision they imagine and sense
Their every movement is real without pretense

They have their insecurities loud and clear
But its  their spirit of resilience that makes them dear

Every step in their way is a test of skill
But they march on with steel in their will.

Yes I am grateful to interact with them upclose…
To sense the happiness that’s within us, if we chose!

Today I embark on a new journey . I wish me luck and hope to succeed in my endeavour . Am meeting the children of the blind school in Koregaon Pune and hope to introduce them to some Ballroom dancing. Technically knowing to dance well is not equivalent to knowing to teach dance well  and more so with the challenges in the making . I had promised  myself to visit and see if I can help bring any positive shift in my capacity . I have no clue as to how I am going to acheive this and yet trust to  simply  flow with the rhythm and beat of the moment.At the moment my entire being is tuned in to that moment of connection when I actually meet the children.(my reflections before the session )

 Excerpts from : Sharing the Magic of Dance …www.savvyraj.com

I thank  Mr Uddhav a Compassionate Volunteer at the school  for introducing me to these endearing children. I look forward to seeing the children again .

Fractals ”Profound Manifestations ” by Savvy Raj

Seek if you must, but seek to be ready for the master to appear.

Seek if you must, but seek to train the self to reach beyond attachment.

Seek if you must, but seek to move with the lightness of your being.

Seek if you must, but seek with the knowledge that answer rests within.

Seek if you must, but seek the stillness of your restless mind.

Seek if you must, but seek to evolve with every new moment.

Seek if you must, but seek the path of truth with all your being.

And then that which you seek appears in ways you may never fathom.

It makes its presence felt as a guiding light.

The master’s plan is simple —

To work with you to find yourself

In a way that is best for you.

You may never need to seek at all

In trust, hope and faith

That the spark of light within you

Is the master you seek all along.

Believe in the benevolence.

Fulfil your duties with responsibility.

Act with dignity

And respect your being

And you will be assured

That you are on the plan

That you were meant to be on.

The divine plan includes, along with your own creation, your path from doubts to discovery, from confusion to reflection, from self-assessment to self-realizations… 

To use one’s doubts to delve deeper and discover,

To evolve from states of confusion to clarity,

The power of choice is always one’s own!

Aspire to Inspire

Seek with…

Eyes that envision the goodness

Ears that seek sounds of peacefulness

Mouth that speaks with mindfulness.

A voice that emits happiness

Arms that reach out  to envelop with kindness

Feet that move towards joyfulness

Aspire towards…

A heart that beats with gratefulness

A body in the pink of health and wellness

A spirit that is evergreen in youthfulness

A mind that is balanced in awareness

A life  of living in zestfulness

A resolution to work with willingness

With actions that is full of helpfulness

In giving with generousness

And  connect with all in gracefulness

Valuing every life’s awesomeness

Title: ‘Towards Light’ By Savvy Raj

Peace cometh from light

Boundless and infinite
When it shines from the heart
In every aspiration to breathe
In every inspiration to bow in the bendiction of the spirit

Transmute to transcend towards light
Let go of propensities of pettiness
Envelope and embrace this aura so bright
Let the wisdom of light be always in conscious awareness.

And to simply remember the light of  the suns ray
Will always show the way ….

 Savvy Raj

As as  a new solar cycle begins …. let us all envelop ourselves with the light of a new dawn   and feel the light  that envelopes and embraces  the world   in trust &hope, in peace & faith for a better tommorow for us all.  Savvy Raj 

I like ….

The old world charm of an elegant  Foxtrot 

The  magic in gliding  to a whirling  Waltz

The  tantalising  passion of a Tango

The sizzling chemistry  in a  Rumba

The gay abandon of a Samba

The freedom and gaiety of a Jive 

The  spiritedness and fun of Swing

The stylish charms of the Cha Cha cha  

The sensuality and speed of Salsa

The teasing hips moving to a Bachata

The synergy of a march in a Merengue

The flamboyant  frills of a Flamenco.

I like it all and more 

And yet most of all I like the simple joy of dancing naturally. 

I like…

The touch of pen to paper

The flow of colour on canvas

The smell of a brand new book

The joy of reading  and writing

The rhythm of rhyming stanzas

The soulfulness of a profound poem

 
I like …

The smiling eyes of a happy child 

In the joy of holding a present unopened 

The caring ways of friends so dear

The warmth of a genuine  smile.

I like…

The peace in every mindful moment acknowledged…

The morning walk on a sandy beach

The  gentle waves embracing my feet

The smell of the first rain invigorating a patch of earth

The fragrance of jasmine  flowers 

The whiff of warm enchanting  woods

The chirping of birds in the trees nearby

The caress of a  breeze so cool

The  chill of winters day

The twinkling of the stars on  a clear night sky 

The passion play of a full moons day 

The dancing lights of twilight  

The shimmering moonlight on a tranquil  lake

The magic of morning break at dawn 

The enthralling evening shadows playing at dusk

The enchantment  and rapture of a saxophone 

The twang and elan of a accoustic guitar

 I like…

The smell of fresh ground coffee waiting to be sipped 

The aroma of baked goodies out  from a hot oven

The melt in the mouth bite of a dutch truffle cake

The steaming cup of tea on a cold winters day 

The tinge of a touch of warmth of ginger 

The  spice n flavour of aromatic cinnamon

The  chewy goodness of a oats and raisin cookie

The crispiness of a chocolate chip cookie 

The quench of thirst from a pure glass of  water 

I like  it all and so much more…

Yes there is so much in life to like and love

The list is endless! And I am pretty sure  it is the same with you  :))

Savvy 

 ‘This is a mindful and gratefulness practise that I do every once in a while …. What we like may be very unique and may change with time, but that is not as important as acknowledging it . Gradually we learn to see the bliss in the blessings. To acknowledge the simple pleasures of life and living is to know its worth .Try to make your own list … adding as you go along and you will soon have so much to be thankful for that you learn to live like this moment is completely worth it and never take a moment of life for granted.’ Savvy

The calm’th of the sea terrifies me

As I walk in the waters engulfing my knee,

Not a single wave does ride

Just as if no flicker of hope is left for me to pride

There is the memory of all that is conceded

Of all that is seemingly  receded.

But I will not have me capitulating

In  despair however frustrating

Even though the future may look bleary

never for once my trust and hope will vary.

Though I thought my spirit had reached the point of going berserk

My muddled mind prefers  fortitude even in momentary oblivion than to it havoc wreck.

My abode once a cynosure of a loving hearts, is now wrecked in the debacle.

To what heights can resilience tackle?

Of troubles that seem to reach the welkin ,

Of travail through fathomless depths yet in the making?

Yet  I do not seethe! I do not seethe!

My heartelt  homage to the spirit of resilience in the people that overcome all odds ….  all the disasters and calamities whether it may be the earthquake which shook Japan, Nepal  earlier , or the recent  Chennai Deluge closer home .

We are one soul in many bodies , the spirit of tenacity carries us through beyond the unsumountable odds !With deep belief in the power of positive heartfields I request my readers to please join me from where you are  in  heartfelt  prayers  for restoring hope and faith to those in the affected zones  .

Spirit of Resilience by Savvy Raj

Leave footprints if you must .
On the sands of time in trust
Just remember ….
No footprint is totally foolproof
to be washproof

All is a game
like the tides that tame
Even the strongest surfer …
Eternal to all is time and nothing else
And sparking in the cosmos we are all just wayfarers

Tread softly
Love authentically
Live lovingly
Behave empathically
Speak truthfully
Move consciously
Grow gratefully !

Aura Corona Energy unto itself

Artworks  By Savvy  Titled:  Aura Corona : Energy Unto Itself

http://www.savvyraj.com

Monumental energy created at source

Creating designs across the space

Encoding the patterns in the flow of force

Spreading beyond planes of existence at it’s mystical pace

Core is never static yet centered

Strength of the vortex emanates from the core

Spiraling across the boundaries of space, undettered

Propelling the matters dancing in between to explore

To reach beyond knowing

Arise from the depth of intention

And deep rooted conviction, simply know the flowing

Without any bones of contention.

With perfect centre never guaranteed

All is meant to be in every form it is taking

With perfect transition never implied

Know in time the vortex blends in its own making.

Empathy is living consciously, sensing and aligning, the union with the true nature of your soul which is pure unconditional love. In this understanding of Empathy, is the path toward a better world filled with peace and harmony. It is the need of the moment across the world to build a sense of unity .

A few reflections in the journey towards Cultivation of Empathy…..

Let there be collaboration and cooperation than competition.

Let the drive towards achievement of goals  move beyond the I  me & myself .

Let us care to remember  always that what affects the world effects each and every one of us.

Let us care to acknowledge how interdependent we actually are. As the profound saying goes- ‘We are not only a drop in the ocean but we are the entire ocean in each drop’. 

Let us  care to  trust believe and have the faith in being ourself, a simple step towards refinement of our consciousness towards empathic living .

Let us accept that although we may all be housed in different bodies and be distanced by space and time but we all breath the same air and are made up of energy from the same magnificient source.

In such a humane connect….  there is a truly beautiful feeling of evolving  with the awareness of the empathetic consciousness of our being!

 I am because you are….  we are because they are.
