POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Three transformative days in Boone with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, exploring the deepest questions of life, death, and what lies beyond.

A journey filled with profound wisdom, inner reflection, and insights that continue to stay with me. 🙏

This is how I understood and experienced it.

Every event with him…
Every moment with him…
Every talk with him…
Every glance of his…
Every silent conversation with him…
Every smile shared with him…
Every word left unspoken…
Every step guided by his wisdom…
Every goodbye that never felt like enough…
Every memory that still makes me smile…
Every moment with him that I wish I could live all over again…
Every moment that reminds me how blessed I am to have found him…💕

Visarjan Letting Go

As you return to your abode,
you leave us with blessings,
with love, with devotion
and wisdom for all of us.

You arrived amidst grand celebration,
and now, with gentle grace,
you leave us a little wiser,
a little fuller,
until we meet again.

This farewell is only a formality
you never truly leave.
Your presence is already within us,
quietly unfolding in our silence.

And yet, I choose to do this every year
this beautiful ritual of letting go,
an excuse to celebrate your coming,
your grace and your love

Until we meet again.
With love, with faith,
and with a heart full of gratitude.

Lots of love ❤️ 🙏🏻

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!

Every year has a story. This year’s Ganesha story was something else… 😍

Every year, I make my eco-friendly Ganesha at home, and every year, the journey has its own story.

But this year was different.

For once, I was actually prepared! 😄 I got my clay early and had already decided to make a grand Ganesha with a big mukut and a huge sinhasan.

But then… things took a different turn.

Instead of starting with Ganesha, I found myself working on the decorations. I had no real plan, just a last-minute decision to order some flowers. Somehow, it all came together.

Then, when I finally sat down with my clay, I ended up making the Mushak first. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Next came the sinhasan. I tried shaping it, turning it, changing it and trying again, but it just wasn't coming together the way I imagined.

When you spend enough time with clay, you develop a connection with it. You stop thinking about every movement. Your hands almost know what to do on their own.

And this time, my hands seemed to have another idea:

Make a peacock. 🦚

So I followed that feeling.

Only after everything was finished I started connecting the dots.

His aasan, his home, was ready first. Then his vahan, the Mushak, was ready. And then he arrived.

And the most beautiful part? The backdrop I had chosen already had peacocks. And now, he had his very own peacock. 🦚

None of this was planned. Yet somehow, everything came together.

It made me think about life too. Sometimes we have a plan, and then things don't go according to it.

Maybe that's when we simply need to go with the flow.

Because sometimes, we only understand why things happened the way they did after all the dots connect.

This year, I didn't make the plan.
I simply followed the flow.
And somehow, the story made perfect sense in the end. 🤍

Guru Purnima, for me, is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and recognize how much I have grown through the teachings of my Gurudev, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

It is a day to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wisdom, guidance, and unconditional love that have illuminated my path. It is also a time to renew my commitment to walk the path my Gurudev has envisioned for me with sincerity, humility, and a spirit of service.

A Guru offers not just knowledge, but the awakening of the best version of myself.

Forever grateful. 🙏🏻❤️

Your existence is a blessing to this world.
The one beyond birth and death becomes a beloved mother to many, a father to many, a Gurudev to countless hearts, a sister, a brother, a master, and for me, pure love itself.

Anyone who comes in touch with you has no choice but to blossom. Your presence nurtures, uplifts, and transforms lives effortlessly.

And today, as you complete another journey around the sun,
You continue traveling around the world until every heart feels one.

Spreading love, grace, and compassion in all that you do,
Making sure everyone feels seen, uplifted, and renewed by you.

Happy Birthday to Gurudev, the one who makes life bloom wherever he goes. Thank you for filling my life with love, light, and completeness.🫰🏻💕✨

A sweet little moment from our SKY courses 🙂

We were both running courses at the same time. One online and the other in person, on two different floors of the house. And somehow, without planning anything, everything just synced up. The breaks matched, the sessions flowed together, and even the SKY Kriya started at exactly the same time.

For a while it felt like the whole house was breathing in the same rhythm.

The nicest part was what happened right after the Kriya. In both groups, the very first thing people said was almost identical:
“I’m feeling really good… thank you so much… I haven’t felt like this in a while.”

Hearing the same words coming from two different floors made us just smile at each other.

Little moments like this make it all so special. 🙂

Today was one of those days that really showed me what love actually feels like. 💞

I spent this Valentine week teaching both grown-ups and kids. Guiding, encouraging, listening, and learning along with them. No big parties, no fancy dinner, no flowers… just real moments with real people.

A long time ago I thought Valentine’s Day was all about going out, getting flowers, and doing the “romantic” stuff. But life has shown me something way better. love isn’t in the stuff we buy. It’s in showing up, being kind, and sharing little happy moments with people. 😀

Today I picked peace, purpose, and people. I chose to be fully there. I chose to give out happiness instead of just waiting to get it. And every smile, every question, every tiny “aha” moment reminded me. This is how I celebrate love now. 💕

I am so grateful for the people I get to be around not just today, but pretty much every day.
Those quiet little moments we share… they really mean a lot to me. 💗

Happy Valentine’s Day!! 💞

2016 vibes hit different! ❤️

Social media felt lighter, more real. Just candid shots of normal people, no filters, no perfection pressure. Friends spent time together at actual gathering laughing and enjoying the moment without needing to take a photo of everything. Phones mostly stayed in pockets.

Simpler, alive times. Take me back 💕

Laughing at ourselves all year long. 😄🙏🏻
