To be spiritual is to embrace the exploration of experiences called life
To be on the path of Spirituality is the path of oneness.
To be spiritual is to acknowledge the uniqueness of every life.
And sense the connectedness therein
As much as embody the freedom of the spirit.
In the independence is the interdependence
In the interdependence is the interbeing
Sensing the divinity within and around you.

The sun is shining…
And yet the weather is so cool & nice. A gentle breeze is blowing every now & then, it’s so very refreshing!
As I was finishing my yoga practice with some balancing exercises… Standing with one foot on my mat and staring straight ahead, I spotted it.
The dance of this single dew drop balancing precariously on the branch of my lemon tree. Swaying in the wind.
I kept witnessing it’s beauty & while I winded my practice, it kept me rooted in rapture. I just had to capture it for eternity…😊
As the dew drop danced with gravity and the wind. I hoped it would still be right there when I went to get my phone.
I fiddled around to adjust my camera hoping to catch its glory sooner than later… 💙
This is my first photo of a dew drop…
What a beautiful morning! 💕 Hope you too find extraordinary joy in the little things of life… ❤️
Wishing you a blessed day!

Someone asked me what spiritual growth means to me …
Here is what I spoke about in a nutshell
Harmony in mind body & spirit Integration in Self awareness
Developing greater understanding & Empathy
Humility & Kindness
Humanity & Compassion.
Living in the lightness of being
Acknowledging Grace in Gratitude
Sensing true freedom to be…for the self and others.
To flow with life in serenity. Sensing the joy in the ordinary.
It’s about acknowledging & sensing the space in around me
It’s about giving in the receiving and receiving in the giving
Witnessing the evolving patterns and freeing the self from limitations of the mind.
Evolving in the learnings, valuing the connection built in time.
A mindful & heartful practice in conscious awareness.
Letting go of unnecessary things
Understanding the value
Of the gift of life
Making life meaningful.
Living life lovingly!
And in knowing it’s so much more….
Please feel free to add what spiritual growth means to you?

To travel
Can be about discovery
Of the old in the new places
Leading you to pathways
That takes you back to your self
To travel
Can be a sensing of serendipity.
A feeling of dejavue
A memorable journey
Unexpectedly unto yourself.
To travel
Can be to witness
The stark reality of life
Perhaps a jolt of reality
Of places and people
As they are in comparison to what was once imagination.
To travel
Can be to learn and unlearn
To connect us to this now
With the truths of things
In places we visit
Know and unknown.
Keep traveling far and near to find yourself a little more every time.

There is a symphony of sounds
In the ebb and flow
Is the waltz of the waves
Rising and falling
The wind playing with the ocean
Evoking the movements
Invoking the strength of the currents
Embodying the dance of nature
Connecting in consonance
Blissful in the blending
Peaceful & relaxing.
Healing in resonance…
Flowing with life in the fluidity ..
Adapting to the waves of change
Surfing in the waves of oneness
Witnessing the wisdom of water.
Enjoyed contemplating on two thoughtful comments by
Dr. Eric Zabiegalski & @T P R P RAO to one of my earlier posts.
Thankful ✨🙏✨

When the sun realises it is a part of many suns in many galaxies
When the moon realises it is part of many moons in this very galaxy
Or when the blue planet earth realises the significance of water and its potential in this very galaxy
When every human life living in this planet, acknowledges the wisdom of conserving water.
The power of enlightenment will truly take us a long way…
So much to discover and learn
So much to the power of realization .
Every day I write
It’s been so for more than six years now
I don’t plan on what to write
I just put the words as they come
But somehow from somewhere
From deep within they flow
Through me…
And then one look at what I wrote
I get the title immediately
Many times the title comes first
And I begin to write
And then I just happen to share with you all my readers
Some of you engage with me all most daily
And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.
Thankful for your likes and comments
You readers really make my day
Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word.
It’s truly special to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again
It’s a wonderful feeling…
When at the fag end of the day
I sit to read your thoughts
It makes me motivated to want to write some more.
Words are all I have
To share with you
I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours…
And hope to stay connected
With you in times to come
For I believe to share is to learn some more…
Thank you for the love you share here.

Are we in the reflections or or are we the reflection itself?
What do you think?
Is all an illusion in the reflection?

You can’t talk Spirituality
You got to live it.
Often when life takes you far
Far away from it…
You got to know
The divine that you seek
Is with you in every moment
Your actions thoughts and words
Decides the distance between
You and your spiritual self.

Many people imagine a tree house…
A house on a tree?
Sure that would be an experience
But the way of life
Is if you are living on a tree
Make sure that within you
You plant the tree of Gratitude
For life is a circle
Circle in with a grateful heart.

Trust, that you are Chosen
To take a step towards change
To be the peaceful warrior
Who can brave new frontiers
With acts of kindness
And words of positivity
In goodwill do deeds for humanity
Bringing forth the best you can
And you truly can
Then every day feels meaningful
And with every now purposeful
You begin to understand
Who you truly are.

Nowadays, I am finding there are lot of films produced on women empowerment in different languages. Perhaps this is what the public wants to watch. What is interesting to note is how well it resonates with our times.
I enjoy watching films that make you think and feel as much as I enjoy happy fun films
I just finished watching a new Hindi movie called Sukhee. It’s about a daring woman (Shilpa Shetty) who elopes and gets married to a man of her choice in her college days. In time she becomes a homemaker. But her husband over the years stops valuing her. She toils everyday at home but her daughter stops needing her. Her only desire is to go meet her friends and attend her school reunion after 20 years. But her husband does not want her to go.
Nevertheless she leaves them and goes to meet her school friends. She realises how much she has missed her old life and wants to stay back some more… But her husband gives her an ultimatum to come back now or never come back…
What decision she takes forms the rest of the story…
On Strength of Empowerment
We talk of strength and there are many strengths in the challenges
Of Courage
Of Resilience
Of Tolerance
Of Patience
Speaking of women, I want you to answer this following question.
Who is a strong empowered woman?
The one who has the courage to get up and leave when she knows she is simply being used but not wanted?
Or the one who stays and dares to change the equation?
I look forward to your answers

Mother Nature’s
Whispers of wisdom
Is in and all around us.
Just care to look around.
Just have little time to listen.
The drizzling rain ,
The gentle breeze,
The spreading fragrance of blooming flowers. Soothing all those around.
No discrimination.
No differentiation.
The mountains touching the clouds,
The trees that stand tall and high,
All whispers
That transcience is eternal here.
Spring and autumn are just cycles .
Be in equanimity
In highs and lows.
The sun, the moon, the mighty ocean,
All the elements of nature
Just whisper
Discipline, punctuality,
Valuing boundaries in spite of immense power,
The bearing trees,
The green fields.
The flowing rivers
The very earth we stand upon,
All whispers
Humility,
Generosity,
Patience,
Selflessness,
Nourishing,
Nurturing.
The lessons are many.
How many we carry?
For eons are these
Timeless whispers.
When will we have the time and patience
To listen and learn.
To practice and bow down.
A poem by my mother Anjana
Savvy
In the fragility of life
Lives trust in hope & faith
Strengthened by signs of integrity
Weakened by fear and doubts
In the labyrinth of this world
Trust dares to deliver itself
Finding its own way, invisibly
In its nuances rests complexities
Like mysterious & hidden stories
For trust holds itself through
Shaping itself in silence
Forging connections in time
In enduring or fleeting moments
This digital age is a tryst with trust
On what to believe or not to
In this era & changing times.
No matter the challenges
The nature of trust is trust itself
Like an intricate & sacred thread.
Reflecting in this sentiment
Embodying it, is this dance of trust.
