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.

Who are we?

All is not light

All is not dark

Between both

The day & night

Are shades & tones

Existing in every now

Nothing is definite

Where there is infinite

In ways & deeds

Then who are we

To judge one another

And frame them

As only black or white.

If we only could understand

The story of every shade

And every tint & tone of light.

We would think twice

Before the final verdict.

So much to discover

So much to understand

So much to know more

On who we are.

Reflections on Strength

Every morning in my  moments of gratitude, I reflect on the things that I could have some times taken for granted. It has become a consistent habit for many years now…

In these contemplations there is often much that emerges, sometimes what’s apparent is not what is, and sometimes  what is, is not all…

Today it was all about  strength, not the kind that makes you go on, to push further but actually the kind  that is gentle and quiet, I am talking of that which is often invisible.

What came up was …

That strength doesn’t have to proclaim
That strength is often that which is hidden in you
That surfaces in the storms
That strength too needs rest to recover and its ok
That strength is seen in the so called small ordinary moments of life in subtle ways
That strength needs no nudging but nurturing in gratitude, for it appears whenever in need as a force of nature.
That every one of your strengths and my strengths are valuable in our lives to make it whole and complete.

Gratitude to all spheres of  strength in need for its a strength in deed.

Every cup has a purpose.

In between moments of a frantic day 

Or the restlessness of boredom

Its nice to settle in with a cup of your favourite  beverage.

If not for anything else

Just to pause and gather yourself

It creates a space to ponder

And reflect in wonder

And  in those moments 

Its never dull and senseless

At times it even sparks an idea

Almost out of nowhere

In the association of thoughts

In the camaraderie shared

Every sip seems to soothe

And yet inspire some more

Now think of life too this way

Life is never meant to be rushed

Life is not life if it feels unloved

Take time to live it.

The way is yours to sense & create

The ingredients  of a good life

Is the concoction of your choices.

What you make with it

Is what you are left with

Keep it inspirational.

Birthing Creativity

On poetry & musings…

Isn’t it amazing…
Letters birthing into words
Seeded in the sea of thoughts Connected in a rhythmic continumn
Turning out as verses
All imprints of consciousness
Flowing through in time
Finding its own synchrony.

A blessed mindset

A blessed mindset

Think it, feel it, emote it

Sense it, move with it

Soon you make others feel it.

People sense confidence

In your voice and demeanor

They know there is purpose

And clarity in your ways.

Creating energy that elevates

As you embody you emanate

Without much hesitation

You attract abundance

In the blessed mindset

And aligned in gratitude.

You sense and create oneness.

INFLUENCE

So much of everything

Is not in what you say

It is in how you say it.

Which sounds better

90% chance of living

10% chance of mortality?

Framing what you say

Wins people over

If expressed the right way

With the necessary tone

Adding confidence

In the way you deliver it.

Such is the power of influence

All is a matter of tuning in

And shifting perspective.

Build a legacy

Chase not the small mindedness

Choose abundance and growth. 

Chase not dreams of lack

Choose to envision & think big.

Chase not, the power to control

Choose influence over authority

Chase not, the path of doubts

Choose to trust and be trustworthy.

Chase not the road of ambiguity

Choose to show up with clarity

Chase not, the frivolous trivialities

Choose well to build a legacy

In living life lovingly. ✨️

Truth brings credence.

Love bonds boundlessly

Each creates the values of being.

On growth & grounding

A garden full of blooms

And books filled room

One where growth blooms

Another grounds us in the reading.

Infinite time

Time knows

Time reveals

Time heals

Time allows

Time continues

Time ticks

Time spaces

Time delivers

Time tunes

Time shapes

Time changes

Time is time after all

Time exists

Before, betwixt and beyond  us.

Isnt. time then more than a measurement?

Time is infinite.

It’s Possible

Light
A space of darkness
Is bound to beam with light

Clarity
A space of uncertainty
becomes a space of clarity.

Breath
In the inhale of purpose
Perseverance exhales with passion

Thoughts
In the racing of thoughts
A quiet mind finds itself.

Mind
A mind that allows itself to know
Can be inclusive in expansiveness.

Heart
A heart that wanders
Can be the heart that wonders
Of the yet unknown.
Flowing unbridled with spirit
It can find its anchor in time.

Peace
A place of great unrest
Is truly the place for peace.
To seed and nurture
And evolve the being.

Success
Success births itself
In every bud to a bloom.
In every new moment.

On Creativity

Art of creativity
Is to acknowledge
The flow of possibilities
Shaping seemingly
Lifeless matter
To birthing life in art

Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.

To train the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge in confidence
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of infinite creative capabilities.

P.s : I enjoyed painting this Art work above. It was created  by me on my phone while traveling  somewhere in Europe.

A ladder

A ladder is a link

A point of interconnections

A bridge between two sides

Between two opposites.

A ladder is not always to climb

A ladder leads you to connect

But the choice is yours

If you want to lead or be led by it.

Climb the ladder with confidence

Continue to bridge over challenges

Meet the changes with integrity

Dare the new horizons in hope.

As I

As I explore
I discover
As I perceive
I sense
As I pray
I ease
As I seek
I find
As I write
I express
As I sing
I channel
As I dance
I heal
As I read
I learn
I am eternally grateful
For all these learnings
That happen, all in good time.
