Dawn paints the day

An interesting  dawn

I woke up earlier than dawn today.

And positioned myself in my favorite space

To watch the glorious dawn

Before I could realise

A bright orange ball 

Just popped up over the horizon…

It was as if the sun was in a hurry

To awaken the world & light  the day.

As I just began to ease into the brilliance …

I saw the corner of the sun

Disappearing  into the blanket of clouds

Looming large, to dull the senses once more…

The light is hidden now

From plain sight.

Do know the sun is up 

There may be a lull in the now

But darkness is a passing cloud

Think of it, as moments to pause 

In patience for light is on the other side

Awaiting its turn to light up your day.

And yes, before I could pen these words here…

The light of dawn paints the day.

Way Of Peace

The way of peace is not in war & conflicts

The way of peace is in heartful awareness, as much as in mindful living.

And for peace to sustain itself…
We need to evolve with awareness
We need to recognize the truth of our interdependence.

We need to adapt ourselves
To the changing times.
It will take a realization of the interconnects between
individual well being & collective wellbeing.

Anf it certainly needs acceptance and aligning with the dynamics that peace brings forth …
For peace needs embodiment through conscious choice & practice as a way of life.

Make the way of peace

A way of life.

Birthing in the now

Your birth is not the only time you are born

You are born in every moment of awareness

You are born in every  conscious breath.

You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.

You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.

You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.

You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.

The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.

Align your breath with presence.

One Good Word

One Good Word…


As readers and writers, we experience a dual bliss: the joy of discovering writing that deeply resonates, and the quiet fulfillment of reflecting on our own words and the connections they create.


It is a beautiful thing to share our creative gifts with the world. Yet, what is most profound is the heart of the person…reader or writer,  alike who takes the moment to offer a word of kindness or appreciation. A single good word has the power to change someone’s day for the better.


Expression is a gentle pathway to healing. Whether it is a pen dancing across paper, a brush gliding with color, or feet tracing patterns upon the earth, the joy of movement is our shared thread.


Reaching out from within ourselves to share is not always easy, even if deeply fulfilling. It demands our energy, our time, and our vulnerable spirit. Yet to withhold our voices or suppress these expressions would be a tragic loss indeed.
It is truly inspiring to read, to write, and to honor the transformative power of words in all their creative manifestations.

What  is one “good word” or simple phrase someone once shared with you that stayed in your heart when you needed it most?

When friends are blessings…

True friends trust
In each other
They find comfort
And care to share & listen
The truth of what it is
Without fear or favour

For they know the value
Of authentic advice
Without frills and fancies
Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.

True friends matter
To each and everv one of us
We are better because of them
In trust, love, care & faith
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.

How many such true friends can one count in life?

Only yesterday  I witnessed a friendship that stood the test of time and renewed itself in faith & trust.

I thought to myself how important  it is to acknowledge the preciousness of true friends as much as to become a true friend that one can count on.

Love & Peace

As you go through daily life.

Just care to remind yourself

That you are being watched over

And cared for…

This simple habit will bring you immense peace.

And you will transmit universal love.

Peace be with you.

Rhythm Within

What is dancing to you ?

A series of steps

Or a conversation

Without words?

Dance is a connection

To the rhythm within

That moves you

To find yourself.

In dance is the magic

Of tuning  into harmony.

Whatever the form

Dance moves you

Heart & soul

To your truth .

The Power of Faith

Awareness that you are searching  for…the deliverance from all the so called inflictions and challenging circumstances  you are experiencing…

Its all in the Space that you occupy. If  the Earth element catches  fire, its remains become ash.  If water engulfs earth everything decays.

The more you resist and pull the greater is the entanglement.
True liberation is from the clutches of ego in ignorance.


What does it take to the awareness of letting go completely? The ability to see beyond the temporary illusions of attachment takes profound faith.

For faith is all there is.Without it nothing is.

Interestingly I wrote this  contemplation  while reading  ‘Gajendra Moksham story & Stotram .

Here is the story below

Gajendra Moksham is one of most spiritually significant stories in the Srimad Bhagavatam A story of divine  intervention and  total surrender.

The story is set in Mount Trikuta, where Gajendra, the majestic king of the elephant herd went to drink water from the lake and pick up the lotus for worship. There Makara a powerful  crocodile clasped his leg… it’s said for 1000 years a fierce tug of war ensued . Inspite of Gajendras strength as he was in the water  which was the crocodiles element  he began to lose his strength.

The Realization

While family and friends  tried their best to help  in time they too couldn’t release him . As he grew exhausted trying Gajendra  realised that his physical  might nor his kin could save him.

And then in total surrender in faith he lifted a lotus flower towards heaven and offered a soul stirring  prayer to God Vishnu. But instead of asking for life he asked for ultimate  liberation from the clutches of ignorance.

God Vishnu hears sincere plea and with his (divine discus) Sudarshana Chakra swiftly  severes the crocodiles head and pulls Gajendra  to safety and grants him Moksha (salvation)

This  is a story of complete trust in the power of faith and divine grace.

Ocean of Abundance

Think of grace

As in everything

In life and living

Ask for blessings

In health & prosperity

In this now & future

Invoke the divine

Who holds it all

In an ocean of abundance

With all your heart

In supreme trust.

In the letting go

You step out of your own way

And let the abundance in

For grace is infinite

And the ocean of abundance

Is all heart.

Inside outside

Peace within

Peace outside

Is the ideal to thrive on

To sense peace

Inside outside

Is always a work in progress.

In caring to choose thoughts well

Action emnating in goodwill

Changes the narrative

From doubts to clarity.

Let peace reign

Inside outside

Heart of Compassion

Connection is the root of compassion

When the heart senses alignment

Inside and outside

Everything  begins to make sense

In the lightness of being

There is grace in the movements

Every thing flows as its meant to…

Spirited in connectedness

With hearts of compassion.

Own your truths

Mistakes we all make

In life there are ups , downs

But stability  comes

In knowing where you are.

What you are doing

How you are feeling

Doing what you do.

And course correcting

In case it feels not quite there.

Then in sharing your thoughts

Your life’s learning

To those on the path next

It’s a way of opening hearts

To express without fear of ridicule

Even if your misses are many, 

And roads made you lose ur way

You still found yourself

And are here breathing

Living in this now .

So there, do try to own your truths

Misses and wins

You share as you learn

And learn as you share.

Limitless being

Unframe & Reframe

Breakthroughs happen 

In the unframing.

As you break through limiting yourself

From cycles of conditioning

You will realize the truths

Of your potential.

You are far more

Than you allow yourself

To believe.

So move beyond

Cycles of limitations

Choose to  rise above & see beyond

And over the challenges

Change the narrative

Reframe your thoughts

You are more than you know now

Sustain yourself

To find your limitless being.
