To you my readers

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.

On Spirituality

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.

On Equanimity

The wisdom born of balance…

Being able to see the true essence

Of living life in the middlepath

Knowing the power of being gentle

Just as much as of toughness

In every circumstance.


Discerning when to be what

And with whom is the key


To successful life management.

Developing the discipline

In mind body & spirit

Calls for equanimity of not tilting

To the extremes of behavior

In thoughts words deeds.

What is your take on equanimity?

Chosen

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.

Way of water

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does. ~Margaret Atwood

Loved reading this quote share on water. Being able to imbibe the nature of water speaks much of the person you are.

To be like water as Bruce Lee famously suggested, calls for flexibility, adaptability, persistence and most importantly humility.

Water is soft yet powerful in its ways. Overcoming rigidity with gentleness of yielding in the flow.

To be able to take on the mightiest rocks of resistance with the power of persistence in the flow.

And yet be able to take shape and mold along the vagaries of existence.

Water never competes for it is secure and complete in itself.

Giving in the flowing through Strengthened in the harmony of the very flow.

Water is what water does. Such is the way of water.

The Divine You

Art by Savvy Raj

There is a dance of divinity in every cell of life.

There is the interconnectedness of life in every being.

Be conscious of the universe in you.
As well as in others
Be empathic be humane
Sense answers within
Find  the light within
Feel the abundance of Love
Sense the divinity in you

Sense Peace
Work inwards
Evolve from within.

Whispers of Wisdom

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

The Dance Of Trust

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.

Authentic Connection

People we happen to meet
Are perhaps meant to be met
And then there are people
We intend and choose to meet
It takes will and effort
Of commitment to a connection.
And when it comes to managing it
Care & connect from all of you!
For even a single moment of authentic connection
In thoughts words and deeds
Is enough to make a indelible heart print.
No matter your crazy schedules
You create a bond lasting a lifetime…

The voice

What is the voice saying to you in this now?

How receptive are you to listen to what your inner voice is saying.

Are you always able to hear your inner voice?

When are you most tuned in to receive from an inner calling?

Our voice is our inner compass to steer our ways. Some time it sings softly and at other time it roars for your attention. Yet the more you tune inwards, you hear the subtler tunes it sings __

Stay in touch with your inner guide. Care to listen in!

Gratitude for the gifts

There are few gifts
Of life in the living
Like the joy of laughter
Like the happiness of smiles
Like the sharing of loving kindness
Like the sensing of gratitude

They add to your life
They heal your being
Body mind and Soul.
The more you have it
And live expressing it
The better the health of your heart.

A good thought
A good deed
A good laugh
And all is well
In the lightness of being.

Sensing my share of these gifts.
Are you?

Words of our Soul

Our words  breathe the truth of our souls
The way we feel deep within
Somehow find a way to breathe in and out
To find their own sense of balance

The words we speak, the words we think and the words we write. We have a mind, body, spirit connect with our words.
In fact our words can be both…
The energy of our emotions
Raining relentlessly
And also the signature of our souls!

Be full on

Bloom from my garden

Life is meant to flow

In every now

As life happens

Let your heart seek joy

Let your spirit soar

You are a spark of heaven

You are light of the stars

Shine your unique brillance

Beam from where you are

Live fully as best as you can

Bloom some more

Be full on!

Acknowledging the good.

Often in the daily grind of life

We begin to take things for granted

Everyone we have with us

Every gift we are given in time

Every solution that solved issues

Every answer that came our way

The light of this day

The bliss of a restful sleep

A smile from a stranger

That made your day

A helping hand when in need

Nurturing home made food

Unconditional love from a furchild

And so much more..

Life gives you much

It’s in us to acknowledge

And recognise the good in our way

And appreciate this now

For all that which you already have!

Savvy
