On Spirituality

Whenever spirituality is discussed… there is always a question as to what is spirituality? And what is its significance in our lives?

Spirituality is a sensing of connection. The first step towards spirituality is about understanding the self as we are and then it’s an understanding of something greater than the self.

Simply put the spiritual significance of our lives is in the way we choose to live our lives.

To me spirituality is a sense of being & becoming a better person than yesterday, in selfawareness,in empathic connection, in being compassionate and kinder human being.

There are many pathways to explore spirituality and it’s unique to each of us.

It’s a pathway to finding the truth of your being and living life lovingly!

From yoga and movement arts to prayer and divination, the way we approach spiritual practices is varied and as unique as us.

What is spirituality to you?

Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?

What are your kind of spiritual practices?

Guiding Star

Art by Savvy Raj

Towards Clarity

Converging from all directions.

With unformed shapes, unlinked thoughts.

Merging at the centre as a Guiding Star

The sign of hope, light and promise for a positive tomorrow.

I am better than yesterday

Thinking well

I am better than yesterday…
Because the Universe
Trusts me to make a choice
In free will I take my decisions
I am responsible for my life
I am choosing to be all I want to be
To trust and flow
In this now

I am making time for me
To be self aware and familiar with my truths
I am letting go of the unnecessary thoughts
I am thinking better in this now

My self belief is that my day is going well
And I am having magical day and am deeply grateful.
And I continue to love life & am making the moments matter.
I am better than yesterday!

A sense of it all

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?

You are enough for you

You are infinite truth
called upon to live life.

You are filled with wonder
Of the Sun Moon & the Stars

Like a tree unique to itself
You are a manifestation
of individuality of nature
Yet connected in the interbeing..

Growing and evolving in this journey
Empowering the self in discovery
Discovering the self in the empowering.
You are truly enough for you!

Amazing nature

Photography by Savvy Raj

Nature is amazing

A single rose leaf helps grow another plant

Teaching lessons of survival no matter what

Where there is will, a way appears…

Amazing!

Flow

There is commitment in attachment

There is contentment in letting go

For then…

There is connectedness to all

In freedom of the flow.

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.

Journey lines

Every path is unique to itself
Every journey creates it’s own pathways
Each phase and stage of life
Enveloping in itself creating patterns and yet,
Embedded and enmeshed
Are the journey lines in the flow..

Cosmos

Countless spheres of infinity
Rotating revolving in their preordained path.
The hows and whys still remaining a mystery
Curious minds continue to decipher

The pieces of mystery from eons unknown
Solved n unsolved puzzles of Nature.
From the stark to the  subtle
From everything to nothing or
The other way round
The search is on…
In this journey on.

The way you see it

Surfers attitude to life…

Imagine that you see a wave coming towards you
What is your first thought in your mind?
Do you see ocean waves as something you will drown in?


Or can you think like surfers do?
And think of riding the waves
For they know there is another one coming along…

Life manifests the way you chose to see it.

On Prayer

 

What is a Prayer

A prayer is a conscious thought

A prayer is also a connectedness through  the spirit

 A prayer is a journey beyond the mere physical and emotional realms

 A prayer is a reminder of our source to access whenever, wherever …

 

A prayer is a shift in perspectives

 A prayer is a deeper look into the self 

A prayer is a reflection in positivity.

 A prayer is an innate tool towards subtlety

A prayer is a step towards conscious awareness

 A prayer is a bridge of acknowledgement

 A prayer is a bow of acceptance

 

A prayer is a trustful disposition 

 A prayer is a healing calmth in  despair and devastation

 A prayer is a joyous amalgamation to the divine within

A prayer is a call out in troubled times 

A prayer is within reach and beckoning

 A prayer is a helping hand from within…

A prayer is union of thoughts words and deeds

 A prayer is a foray into tenderness

A prayer is a poise of Grace 

 A  prayer is an expansion of the kindness of  the spirit

A prayer is the strength of the indomitable will

A prayer is an innate form of expression

 A prayer is a poise in humility

 A prayer is much more beyond the folded hands  bowing

A prayer is a Soul conversation 

 A  prayer is a meditation in action…

 A prayer is a realisation of the stillness of your being 

A prayer is a journey within the breath of life…

A prayer is a power of moving hearts 

A prayer is unity in the diversity 

A prayer is a grounding  in rootedness 

A prayer is a realisation of equanimity 

A prayer is a silence beyond the verses 

A prayer is a song from the heart

A prayer is a soulful dance in tandem with divinity 

A prayer is a thanksgiving in gratitude!

Wisdom of walking on…

To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.

Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.

But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.

There is great wisdom in such a practice.

There is always something

That you would have done

That which you have accomplished

Your success that you are proud of!

However,

What you did yesterday

Cannot be taken for granted

For it is back in time

What ever your achievements

Your accomplishments are yours to know

Yet life is not lived backwards

You can take your learnings

From what is done and apply to this now

For the future is another day

Dwell not in time gone by

Past glory recedes in time

No matter the memory into a distant dot.

Choose to be in this present

For then the hits and misses

Become small matters in the sun

Then no challenge is unsurmountable

For then success and failures

Become stepping stones to learn from

Walk on in this now…
