Space of Calm

Create a space of calm
Inviting you to a journey
Alluding you in subtlety
Through natural authenticity
Keeping it simple & minimal
With intriguing unintentionality
Allowing a space for austerity
Sparking divine connectivity
Evoking movements in the stillness.
Invoking stillness in the movements.

Truths of life

Intellect will seem big as long as things happen our way.

Hope will seem big when things does not happen our way.

Luck will seem big when unexpected things happen.

Wisdom seems big when interruptions block things

Fate seems big when talent does not work.

When whatever we thought big, doesn’t matter anymore, we will start knowing ourselves.

When we start knowing ourselves, The Divinity inside us will seem big

Translation from Tamil forward by my mother Anjana.

On Positive Intentions

Wellbeing is an art in itself and it begins with a positive intention.

Interconnects


We live in a world where we are interconnected at the intersections .

A world piecing things together rapidly charging forward
A world where technology triumphs in everything we do.

A world where  there is greater  acceptance of  possibilities
Where potential is being explored in associations
A world where art and science are at interlinked at the crossroads
Meeting like no tommorow
Where art is created by logic and calculations
Of a programmed artifical intelligence
Where science is more and more accepting of the metaphysical
Where science is turning to seek answers in spirituality
And Spirituality is discussed scientifically
But then in the same breath
Is the emergence of the mystics & the art of Spirituality.

Everything links to one another

Leading the truths of being

All is in the strength of the interconnects

What Is Art?

What is art?

But a transcendence

In sublime understandings

Invoking inspiration

Awakening aspiration

Collaborating in creation

Sometimes seeking

Sometimes speaking

At times questioning

At times challenging

Emoting provoking

Allowing thinking

In the sensing more

Acknowledging critiquing

Receving in the giving

Giving in the receving

Ever flowing…

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.

Reflecting reflections

Digital Art by Savvy Raj

Are we in the reflections or or are we the reflection itself?

What do you think?

Is all an illusion in the reflection?

Joy of Dance

At the 49th World Dance Congress UNESCO Mumbai. 2018. My lecture presentation on The Relevance of Dance Education in Communities to a distinguished world audience from the field of Dance and Dance Research.

I spoke about how learning to dance brought out massive changes in marginalised communities, senior citizens and also recited in a poem format, my learnings while teaching dance to Visually impaired school children.

There is so much power to movement to encourage, to give hope, and empower a life to sense the possibilities in their potential beyond situations and circumstances.

This image came up as a great reminder of that beautiful day five years ago.

At the heart of it all is the love I have to share the joy of dance movements. I have had some amazing experiences along the way over the last two decades of being a dance educator. I have enjoyed every bit of it. The learnings and the sharings.

Suffice to say that after all these years though I have moved to doing many more things along with my writings, the simple joy of dance will always keep me happy at heart.

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.

A tree house

Many people imagine a tree house…

A house on a tree?
Sure that would be an experience
But the way of life
Is if you are living on a tree
Make sure that within you
You plant the tree of Gratitude
For life is a circle
Circle in with a grateful heart.

A world of difference

A thought in kindness
A word of kindness
A deed in kindness
Count up much more
Than you realise
Imagine the wealth of joy
You will have created
In a lifetime.

Leaving imprints of kindness

In thoughts words and deeds

Makes a world of difference

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.

On Gratitude

Cultivation of Gratitude

Gratitude brings forth

A shift in perspective

In feeling thankfulness

In sensing appreciation

In seeing the glass half full

Than half empty

In seeing the sunny side

Of things than as cloudy

For the way of seeing

Is a choice in our hands.

Internal effects of Gratefulness

An increase in dopomine

Sense of satisfaction

A boost in sertonin

Feeling of positivity

Count your blessings

Gratitude makes us recognize and value things we already have even more. That is how it brings a sense of abundance.

Every day a practice of gratitude could include a variety of things that may feel right to you. From seeing the positives in a situation or in people, focusing on the good in life journaling regularly and being thankful, etc

A practice of living life with a positive attitude makes life more meaningful.

Give gratitude freely without holding back.

Thank you dear reader, Truly grateful for your time. Pls consider sharing this message of giving gratitude in this now.
