‘Precious Soul’ Artwork by Savvy Raj
Your smile is your soul signature
Your voice is the vibration of your energy
Your speech is a channel of communication
Your intention is the story of your purpose.
Your eyes are the window of your soul
Your heart is the expression of your being
Your steps are the path you create
Your actions are the enabler of deeds
Your body is the lighthouse
Your spirit is light.
You are precious.
All of you!

There is an expansion
In heart fields
There is energy
Of love & goodwill
Radiating across the world
As we speak
There is a newfound camaraderie
Bonds of friendship & connection
Beyond the walls of isolation
Beyond the fear there is hope.
There is a realization
Of indifference and oversight
And awareness
Of the repercussions.
Soon the world will heal
And recover itself
Such is the law of nature
But hoping for the world
To continue this journey
Of new awakenings
And persevere to preserve
These understandings in the uncertainty
The pristineness of the serenity.
The wisdom from the challenges
Hope it continues to transform
Our world for the better.

It’s all connected!
So much vibrations in this now
That is was and will be playing
As the dance of light and frequency
In the eternal river of time.
Momentous fields of matter
Cosmic rhythms of color at play
Vivid manifestation of vastness
Of potential in the abundance
So much to understand & discover
The truth of the moment
Is connected to it all
Such is the truth of nature in sublimity.

Bored?
What boredom, no time for boredom!
says my seemingly exasperated friend in India on the phone.
With the complete lockdown and most on’ Work from home status ‘majority of families are struggling to cope with rising demands of the family be it the seniors at home, children and of course pets as well. The families are now suddenly having no house help, the quintessence of urban class living.
Compared to the Western world in India still, the lure of cheaper labor force makes a household helper available to all. But in the current scare, there are no maids, let alone cooks or gardeners. Except for those who may have a live-in helper which is not often the case.
Suddenly the ‘Work from home’ status actually registers the truth. For it is truly challenging for most families who have never bothered to make their own bed or do dishes or cook ever. In fact, there are many who wait for someone else to make their tea or coffee or get a glass of water.
In these hard-pressed times the major part of the work comes to the women of the household still, in spite of all those talks of women’s liberation that goes on doing the rounds every year around early March.
To all the women, who have suddenly vowed to prove themselves superwoman please take it easy.
A little dirty corner, neglected kitchen shelves, not a four course meal, everything is acceptable. But not at the cost of your own health. Remember your falling sick at these times will be disastrous especially if there is no one to take over from you !!
Stay safe
The women are left with no options as the demands keep on rising as those who are at home are hungrier than ever with time to kill.
There are, of course, some of those evolved households where all are contributing their bit. The onus of responsibility needs to be shared, else it will make every day a living hell.
If only more young parents of today teach all their children both sons and daughters equally to cook, clean and do housework as a part of life skills training so that they also know how to manage a home when they have one, the lives of so many future families will be truly much easier.
As we see it, the future is here with new challenges and unless we are all equipped with basic survival skills and takes into account, ownership, responsibility, and teamwork and move beyond gender biases, it is truly tough to live through times like these.
How are you and your families managing this interim period?
Stay safe and healthy!

“One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day.”
~Albert Einstein
Magic of Being
Sense the awe
Be inspired
By the mystery of life
Of the magic of creation.
In the hits and misses
Life leads you towards your purpose
Where every puzzle eventually fits
To create the profound called You.
Sense your life with awe
Treat your world with care
For you are a part of it
Sustain the magic of being.
Savvy
A time to rethink
Revisit your old patterns
Of being and doing.
Pause a bit and analyze.
On what you did and what mattered.
Check what worked and what didn’t
Filter them out and bridge the gaps
The process will loop in all of you.
Take a look at your self today
Search your sense of identity
That is the truth of who you are
Perhaps buried under the burden of being.
Surface the layers of life
Summon the truths of your being
And course through to chart
Sensing a new shifting in this now
Who knows perhaps
These shifts will alter and align
While turning the world over
To evolve us all for the better along the way.
Savvy
We are reborn every night
As the beam of sun shines upon us
Every day, we are restored with hope
And faith in the consistency.
Every night awakens to a new day
At the dawn of light
Darkness gives way even in the presence
Of a single ray of light.
Such is the power of light
To instill hope faith and trust
In the possibilities awaiting us.
To envision and uncover our undiscovered light.
To overcome the shadows
As they recede & fade away
For light makes the world more beautiful
As nature is all aglow, in its pristine glory.
So if you are feeling overshadowed in this now
Keep the faith, for your ray of light
Is just around the corner to meet you.
Keep the faith! You will step into the light!

A few reflections
As the world grapples with the current scenario of a pandemic, we need to support one another to be emotionally stable to deal with the challenges ahead.
Often the fear of being infected by being anywhere near a quarantine area is scary for most of us. We overthink of infections of many kinds that are looming large around us.
Our inner demons surface and we need to put to rest our internal fears of panic to survive through this all.
We are all unique individuals and are differently motivated. But in these difficult times, we need to rise above our individual perspectives and opinions and think about how we can be more responsible from where we are.
First of all we need to update ourselves of the changing times and educate ourselves as to what measures we can begin to adopt. Like home quarantine or self isolation. If so then we need to know how to effectively manage our existing resources and most importantly efficiently use our time at hand.
The initial euphoria of unexpected holidays will soon wear off as after all humans are social beings. They will begin to miss the sense of community and interaction in time.
What is important…
We need to come up with, how we plan to structure our day. Each of us in different parts of the world is affected in one way or another.
But acceptance of what is, and adapting along the way helps us tide through to be more positive and productive instead of getting depressed and demotivated.
Our immune system needs to be cared for by the intake of healthy hygienically prepared food. We need to stay hydrated.
Besides that, we also can ensure we are able to set aside some time for movement and physical exercises be it in the form of yoga pilates dance or workouts.
The importance of sleep and play in keeping us healthy cannot be stressed enough.
Exercising consideration and care in expression becomes paramount in these times.
It is necessary to stay motivated and empowered in empathy in these difficult times.
In case of lockdown situations if applicable besides working out on self-sufficiency to survive, we need to make an effort to create amicable situations at home as emotions can be highly strung in time.
If we are working from home, then a bit of forethought and planning can help better the entire experience for you as well those you live with.
If there are broken links and spaces created all of a sudden, remember light enters through them all to reset everything to alignment.
And despite all the gloom and doom that we are experiencing at this moment remember there is always something positive that springs forth in time.
In the meantime let’s be grateful enough to appreciate the blessings we already have and pray for those who need them most now.
God bless all.

Every day make sure to laugh, sing and dance, and see the beauty in every beat of a living heart, and that’s a step to tuning yourself to healing yourself and the world a little more.

When our lives feels overwhelming
By emotions running a muck
Let us take care to remember
Every thing is going to be alright!
When our words felt lost
They were lost in the incessant chatter
Where we went about creating noise
But never learned to sustain the world.
Yet all is not lost
Hope is here to stay
Let’s truly believe
Every things is going to be alright.
In these times of anxiety.
Let’s keep saying
All is meant to be well
We need to assure ourselves and others
More often than before
Everything is going to be alright!
Savvy
Your thoughts are an extension of you.
But your thoughts are just a part of you.
There is infinite abundance that you are made of.
Only a part of which you may be conscious of.
The rest are within you for the knowing
To explore the potential in the possibilities
What you choose to do
With your life
It’s all up to you!
