Repose

I like the moments of morning calm

Before the world wakes up

I find the time for reflection in gratitude 

For nature in and around me.

The night helps settle the density

Of racing thoughts in time.

Like water becomes clearer in stillness.

The calm and quiet of early dawn

Surfaces peace and clarity.

Mirroring the truth of the moments.

Emerging  in the space of stillness.

As all  the agitations drop as sediments

To repose the restless waters in calm

Realising the value of patience

Therein is the grace of effortless ease.

Rhythm that grounds you

Music speaks

Tunes us from within

With melody,lyrics, beats

And through it all 

Is the rhythm

That drives home

A strong rhythm

Makes itself felt

In every cell of being.

Speaking of strength of rhythm, many songs comes to mind but today the music I choose to share about is a spiritual one that immediately engages your attention and how… it will ground you as much as it makes you move in simply listening to it.

I am speaking about the Ganapathy Talam.

Here is a beautiful energetic rendition

You can listen to my full episode The Rhythm That Grounds You on my podcast Path of Clarity,  it is a personal take on this magnetic piece of music.

And speaking of rhythm, do feel free share your favourite  piece of rhythm as well.

Body wisdom

Your energy is yours to protect

Shield it with love and forgiveness

Allow happy thoughts

Let go the unnecessary frictions

If you find yourself  too exhausted  by anothers energy

Too consumed in every interaction…

Where you feel depleted and worn out

May be it is time to move away  and balance your energy

Most of all listen to your body…

How do you feel after any interaction with someone

Energetic  or depleted

The signs are there for a reason

Choose your path well

Think well. Do well. Be well.

Cosmic journey



Today I am sharing a  poem by my mother, Anjana 

We will travel far.
In this cosmic travelling
We never know
How far we have travelled
Or how far yet to go.
In what form or in which place.
The mystery is beyond
Our comprehension.
Yet we are aware of
Our presence In this
present moment.
Let us strive not to waste it .
Make every effort
To make it worthwhile
In this long journey
Called Life.

Anjana

Spirit of Life

Truth is free

Mind controls.

Life is free to be

Living contains

And the spirit

Frees the soul.

Truth of Oneness

Truth Is Timeless
Truth Is Mindless
Truth Is Oneness

– Savvy

Listen

Truth of Oneness

Which ever way you explore   truth, truth is truth.

This podcast is my personal and humble dedication  in exploration the synergy of two distinct pathways to self awareness.

Many paths lead home.

In quiet perseverance

Meet not force with force.

It is futile and destructive.

Meet force with fluidity and  flexibility,

In quiet perseverance.

In adaptability than rigidity.

For even brute force buckles in time.

Life has just begun

Crossed the midstream

The shore is a swim away

The body takes its toll

Yet the spirit is willing

To ride through 

And grace the shore.

On touching ground

The horizon beckons

Over the hills and dales

In the sands of time.

Trust your life

To unfold the way…

When you feel you are done 

Life has just begun.

Savvy

P.S

I share my prompted artwork with Ai, here again, as I feel it somehow comes together and somehow makes perfect  sense with the verses.

Space

The concept of having space

Between things is a wisdom

A wisdom that creates  balance.

Between thoughts

Between words.

Between songs are silent spaces

Between breaths exist space that bridges the inhale and exhale.

Between life

Be it trees , flowers or animals

Space allows it to grow…

Between people

Space allows for freedom to be to express and share

Boundaries create respect and safety

Creating healthy relationships.  

Allowing for rest and regenerate

With peace of mind, body and spirit.

A question  then arises…

How much space do you need

To protect your peace?

And how much space do you give

To sustain the peace?

Heart speaks …

I enjoy simplifying  complexity

For I do believe simplicity  

Is just complexity  turned upside down

And perhaps knotted and twisted at times.

All it needs is an untangling.

In thoughts words and deeds.

While the mind may  play games

Simply speaking  from the heart

Seeing with the heart

Feeling the sensations that emnate from the heart

Will  release the unnecessary knots

And create a path of clarity.

Flowing with life lovingly

Everything is in this now

Who am I in this now,

Matters more than ever before

For tomorow that is yet to arrive.

Instead of mulling over

Uncertainties of life

Disappointments & falls

Rise in this moment.

Ask the self

Who am I in this now?

Whatever and however this moment presents…

Am I able to look at what is?

Meet it with composure?

What are my kind of choices ?

Am I reacting or responding  

In this now of my life?

Perhaps in this vulnerable space

With the truths of my being,

I sense myself growing

From and out of every  experience.

That teaches me to listen

Allowing me to flow with life

Making sense, along the way.

Knowing in my heart

That I am not a stagnant pond

Nor a stone refusing to roll.

For rolling stones gather no moss

I flow with lightness

Living life lovingly.

A night to remember…

Vision & verses by Savvy Raj

A moonlit night
The beach glows bright
Silvery waves, sugary white

As the last of the seagulls take flight
Evening dusk shadows the skylight.

To behold, what a sight

To remember, what a night.

Savvy

Meet me right here

Meet?

Meet where?

You tell me

Is there a place

That is better than here?

A place that’s inviting called WordPress.

An inclusive space for  creative minded souls

So meet we will, right here

In this wordy writing space

Time and time again

You and me

Sharing words

Heartfully…

💙

Savvy

Just another tree?

Roads of Goa

Don’t know you 

How you live and breathe

In these nondescript pathway.

Yet here you are

Vividly present

Colouring the blue sky

With blossoms of contrasts.

Mature trunk and verdant   leaves

You strike a pose 

You hold a  stance 

In your unique way.

I see you dear tree

Grateful for your being

For you nurtured many lives

Seen many a solar cycles.

I bless you with all my heart

For healing this world…

For the world may be

You are just another tree

For me you live vibrantly

Evergreen in my memories.

A sight to behold

A vision to thank 

In recognition and  gratitude

For your impactful presence🙏

A trip down memory lane.

An unexpected yet beautiful burst of colour contrasting the bright blue sky  prompted me to click a photo in a split second, enroute a road trip to Goa a few years ago…

P.S.

Sharing some amazing facts about the positive ecological impacts from one fully mature tree, that I came across.

Key Environmental & Ecological Impacts

  • ​Natural Climate Control: Through evapotranspiration and shade, one healthy mature tree provides a net cooling effect equal to 10 room-sized air conditioners running 20 hours a day. This can lower local microclimate temperatures by up to 3°F–5°F.
  • ​Carbon Vault: A single tree absorbs roughly 48 pounds (22 kg) of CO₂ per year. Over a 40-year lifespan, it locks away nearly 1 metric ton of atmospheric carbon in its trunk, roots, and surrounding soil.
  • ​Oxygen Generation: One fully grown, leafy tree generates enough net oxygen per year to sustain 2 to 4 human beings.
  • ​Hydrological Shield: A single mature canopy can intercept and soak up 2,300 gallons of stormwater runoff per year. Its root network stabilizes topsoil against erosion while filtering heavy metals and synthetic pollutants before water enters local aquifers.
  • ​Air Filtration: Leaves and bark actively trap particulate matter (PM2.5) while absorbing gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and sulfur dioxide—removing dozens of pounds of air pollutants annually.
  • Biodiversity Anchor: A single native tree (such as an oak) can support over 500 distinct species of insects, birds, mosses, and beneficial microorganisms, functioning as a self-contained ecosystem.

That I am fond of trees is nothing new… I have written many verses on trees before as well, yet in here I share a message close to my heart…

Nurture nature Nurture trees.

You are doing an important  service to help support self sustaining powerhouse of oxygen to our planet.
