Truths of life
Keep the whole of you happy
Every cell of your being
Acknowledge your entire being
And sense the interconnects
Of every beating heart
All is one and one is all.

A new beginning
A new day
A new role
A new path
Paving way
For the start of something new
Inhaling to align in the new
Exhaling to let go the spurious
All in hope, trust, faith
And belief in the way
Of true abundance.

Positive Thinking
A Great Share
A young woman was sitting at her dining table, worried about taxes to be paid, house-work to be done and to top it all, her family was coming over for Thanksgiving the next day. She was not feeling very thankful at that time. As she turned her gaze sideways, she noticed her young daughter scribbling furiously into her notebook. “My teacher asked us to write a paragraph on “Negative Thanksgiving” for homework today.” said the daughter, “She asked us to write down things that we are thankful for, things that make us feel not so good in the beginning, but turn out to be good after all.”
With curiosity, the mother peeked into the book. This is what the daughter had written:
“I’m thankful for Final Exams, because that means school is almost over. I’m thankful for bad-tasting medicine, because it helps me feel better. I’m thankful for waking up to alarm clocks, because it means I’m still alive.” It then dawned on the mother, that she had a lot of things to be thankful for! She thought again… She had to pay taxes but that meant she was fortunate to be employed. She had house-work to do but that meant she had her own home to live in. She had to cook for her family for Thanksgiving but that meant she had a family with whom she could celebrate.
Moral:We generally complain about the negative things in life but we fail to look at the positive side of it. What is the positive in your negatives?
Look at the better part of life this day and make it a great day”
Too blessed to be stressed!
Stress we all have
Some days less or more
But how we see our stress
Makes all the difference
Let’s channel it to matter less
Find ways to ease the self
And create a positive vibe
That makes life and living
Worth it.
And stay too blessed
To be stressed.

Shining through
Just having the courage to express ourselves, we open ourselves to a vulnerable and creative self that is the light in us shining through….:)

A strange life
State of times we live in
We are connected to people across the world
But have no time to see what is going on above the screen
Our vision is narrowed although we boast of thousands of connections
Our immediate family and friends are all online
Our children are too busy with their smartphones…
Yes there is a screen in front of us , and we are getting oblivious
To what’s beyond it!
Life is truly stranger every day to us.
And we are becoming strangers to life!

Be in this Now
Past is gone
Future is yet to arrive
One gone in time
Another in a distance
What is now
Is the reality to sense.
Let everything else just be
Live this now!

An Alphabetical Tribute
Sharing another from my mother’s writing today… it happens to be one of my favorite pieces from her.
Nataraja The Lord of Dance , represents the never ending cycle of evolution and dissolution.
The Master who has conquered the five elements , dancing to his tunes.
An Alphabetical tribute to the
The Divine Dancer condensing the essence of cosmic energy in his form n action.
Nataraja – The Cosmic Dancer
Absolute and ultimate dance of
‘Being in the Now’, where
Celestial Creation & Destruction
Dance hand in hand in
Energetic, enigmatic endless flow.
Formless blending into The Form.
Gift to Cosmos. Unfathomed
Happiness undermines the
In-depth, concealed caring of
Justice to prevail, in the
Knowing of the Unknown all.
Lasya ( dance of creation) and thandava (dance of destruction) both
Merging in and emerging from
Nataraja,The Cosmic Dancer.
Oneness personified in essence.
Purity and Power as its source.
Quietude emerging in the motion.
Rare culmination of creative
Subtlety of concealed infinity.
‘Thath thwam asi,’ , that’s the Truth.
Unknown, Unsaid and Unseen
Visions of Ultimate Reality.
Worlds far and beyond knowledge
Xceeds the human excellence.
Yearning _’To be with IT ‘ is all one can wish with the
Zeal of unwavering Faith

Paradox of Beauty
Arrested Development
Great things can come in little packages
Like a Bonsai perhaps
Standing majestic and magnificent
No matter the proportions
But what does it endure to be?
Life without freedom
Is a life of constraints & restraints
A life of arrested development
Is beauty winning over freedom to be
Is the desire for aesthetics and a taste of experimentation
more important than freedom for living life fully
Stunting growth is no way beautiful
Be it Shackles on feet with chains or tight shoes in the name of beauty
On the other end there are many examples of prejudices of beauty working itself in society.
Delibrate acts of elongating necks with chains of gold is considered a norm in some parts of the world
Why is life so brutal to life
In the name of beauty?

Life lessons
Life lessons
( Translated by my mother from tamil forward)
The 9 laws of Karma
- Whatever we do in this Universe will come back to us.
- Nothing will come to us by itself. We have to work to get what we need.
3 when we learn to accept certain things then only change will happen.
4 when we change ourselves Life will also transform.
5 We should realise that we only are responsible for whatever happens in our life. - Past, Present and Future all are interconnected.
7 We cannot think of two things at the same time. - Our behaviour should reflect our thoughts and actions
- If we keep on thinking the past, the present will pass without living it.
Let there be peace and happiness everywhere. Let all prosper and live a fulfilling life.
Learnings
True learning happens when we realize we are the teacher and we are the student. And life teaches the greatest lessons without anyone uttering a word or at times in just the sheer presence of a good soul.
Likewise as we move from our hearts and open ourselves to realization and acceptance of new possibilities… true learnings happens!
