Creators Masterplan

Some times life comes to a still.
That may be be Him testing will.

When we are low,
When we feel let down,
When we feel desperate,
when we feel alone, when we feel all doors are closed,
When life seems to have no meaning,
Never loose hope.

The master plan of Nature,
Is beyond our cognition.
The way will open up,
In any form, any time.
All we need is hope n faith.
Patience n perceverance.
The effort will pay off.
For He knows the right time and the right way.
Cos that’s
His Master plan.

Sharing this message of hope penned by my mother Anjana as a testement of faith and trust in the divinity providence.

When the truth tumbles…

Life as a couple

Has its own challenges

Yet what matters is trust

In a loving relationship.

Trust that makes you feel safe

That makes you sense security

And value for being you.

To be heard, & loved as you are.

Often expectations from one partner

To toe the line and accept everything

Brings in uncomfortable silences

Or unwanted arguments and conflicts

Breaking a relationship gradually.

Perhaps it is about negligence

Or lack of consideration & care

Perhaps it’s about lack of empathy

Or even inequality that creates a gap

That widens in time and cracks

The strongest of partners.

Compromise or need

May keep them staying together

Just existing not living a life.

The show goes on…

Until it one day becomes unbearable.

And the inevitable truth tumbles.

These words above are deeply interlinked in the flow of thoughts that arose after I read a translation by my mother from a Tamil quote forwarded on Social media.

Interesting to note it is from a divorced husband after 10 years of realization.

‘Don’t show your pride before your wife.
She came to you just believing in you
Not your relatives.

My property
My earnings
My will
Then who is she?
What is the meaning of her life with you?

Can’t she have her dreams, her  desires, to be fulfilled with you?

On reading this message

Something more rankled my mind

The question of expectations

To be fulfilled by the partner.

It’s never about needs

Being fulfilled by the other

But with one another.

In todays world

It’s about finding time

To be present in the now

With one another.

How many agree?

Every beat of heart…

Finding our pathway

In this rut of routine…

That’s our so called lifestyle


In pursuit of our dreams,


We forget the purpose of our existence.


When the limbs and mind get tired

we start searching,

the meaning of our life.

It is never too late.


In just a little effort

To step out of our own ways


Many paths open up…


That leads us to walk on


Until we find our own way.

Wordpower

I pray…

Let the words that pour

Make a meaningful difference

Let the thoughts that flow

From these words empower

To create a change for the better

We are on track

We are on track
Nurturing humanity
In every moment
Through connections
Through art & creativity
To journey into the beyond
From nothing to something
To transcend beyond the mundane
Of notions and assumptions
To envision in empowering ways
Beyond rational thinking
To rediscover aesthetics of truth.

Sky above, earth below, and fire within…

As I stand here,

Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,

Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,

The fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture

In passion that fuels, my soul

A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,

A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,

Like a bird soaring, I choose to fly

I wonder awed by infinite possibilities,

Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground

Sense the abundance of nature

A garden of life,

In every breathing life, is a universe within,

Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,

A journey of life, with a prayer in hope

To meet the mornings, the awaiting purpose of life.

With my Spirit afire in my beating heart.

Conscious Awareness

Sanskrit Sloka

यत्रैव यत्रैव मनो मदीयं
तत्रैव तत्रैव तव स्वरूपम्।
यत्रैव यत्रैव शिरो मदीयं
तत्रैव तत्रैव पदद्वयं ते॥


yatraiva yatraiva mano madīyaṃ
tatraiva tatraiva tava svarūpam।
yatraiva yatraiva śiro madīyaṃ
tatraiva tatraiva padadvayaṃ te॥


Wherever is my mind, I find your real form. Wherever is my head, there reign your holy feet.

A few musings..

When you arrive at being able to see

The true essence of nature

In alignment with the Source coder

When wherever the mind wanders

Consciousness follows…

There is awakening in realisation.

Finding time


by 4 Comments

On friends & friendships

Friendship…

Happens in the strangest of times
In an elevator, in a parking lot
In a bus, while walking or in flight
As a student  or as a teacher

Friends may come and go
To make you live life a little better
Think a little deeper with care
Value these gifts strewn in your life.

Friends make you see your worth
Because they want you as you.
Not an imagined version of you
So be you as you are in friendship.

Find time for a good friend
Whenever you both sense and feel it
Turn not your back on them
Know, friends are coming your way

Embody the light of friendships
Savour the joy and nurture friends Time and time again
They can be yours for lifetimes.

What face do you want to choose?

In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…


Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.

It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.


Another face of love

It can be possessive.
It can make us  jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.

Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?

Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .

A poem by my mother Anjana

Thoughts & us

Art by Savvy Raj

We are what our thoughts are.

God came.

Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires

First one
Countless money & a big business to run

2nd one

The most powerful position in the world

3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor

4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me

Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.

The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.

The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.

Peace of mind, contented heart.

For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.

God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.

The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.

Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.

In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.

As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.

The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.

Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.

Our thoughts decide who we are.

Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.

Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.

Power of a Seed

The seed looked up

At the mighty tree in awe

Wondering how it will grow to thrive

And how it will survive in time.

The tree rustled its leaves

In the gentle breeze

Sharing the tender touch

Of the nurturing wind

As if to remind the little seed…

Every mighty tree around

Was once a tiny seed

Blowing in the very same wind

That grew through the seasons

Weathering life’s storms

Learning how to bend and not break

So that it could grow one day

To its fullest potential

Testimony to the power of a planted seed.

Every tree is rooted with a message

Never underestimate the power within

Keep the faith and trust yourself!

Know you

All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You

All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.
