FIND ME IN THE LAST IMAGE 😍

🕉️ Last week, we were in Gokarna, in Śrī Mahāgaṇapati’s sannidhānam… already thinking of Ganesha Chaturthi❤️🐘

And today on Ganesha Chaturthi, as we offered Dvādaśa Nāma Pūjā to Gaṇapati, my mind went back there🥰📿

My journey with Ganesha actually began very early💫.

The first mantra I ever received was a Gaṇapati bīja mantra🕉️, when I began my studies in Maitreyi Gurukulam as a child.
In that sense, 🌺 Gaṇapati Sādhana was my first formal step into the world of Sādhana.

And ever since, He has quietly held my hand🪔.

Sometimes by clearing obstacles in the world outside.
And perhaps even more importantly, by helping me recognise the obstacles my own mind creates in the path of my growth🌱.

Whatever progress I see today in my personal/spiritual journey, I owe so much of it to His grace. 🙏🏻

Later, when 🔱 Devi Sādhana entered my life, Amma gradually became Mother to me🌸

And somehow, Gaṇapati became the younger brother who has simply never left my side❤️

Perhaps this is also why 🪔Sankashta-nashana-Ganesha-Stotram has remained such an integral part of my daily life📿.

Check our previous videos for its Sadhana✨

And today, on Ganesha Chaturthi, my heart is filled with only gratitude — for a presence that has walked with me from childhood, through every new beginning, every obstacle, every lesson & every step forward❤️

May Gaṇapati continue to hold our hand, clear our path, steady our mind & lead us towards what is truly auspicious🕉️🙏🏻

🌺 Shri Ganeshaya Namah 🌺

Here’s the fact most of you don’t know👇🏻

Feb 14th & 15th - Two days! One reason this exists❤️💫

It’s not a post of appreciation, but of gratitude✨ - to my cofounder, my partner @sharat.nirvana ❤️ whose work is visible as the contents on Nirvana, but whose effort is rarely recognised, because the spotlight falls elsewhere.

You never announce yourself. Just presence, effort, and a willingness to hold what gets heavy🥹

When things feel chaotic, you don’t add to it.
You organise it.😇

When decisions feel loud, you bring them back to clarity🤍

And when I feel unsure & doubtful, you quietly remind me why this path matters🕉️

People see what shows up on screen. I see what keeps it all standing when the camera is off🤗

You are not just a co-founder in work. You are the mentor who keeps me steady here💫. And the calm force that makes this journey feel possible, every single day❤️

🥳Happy 4th year to Nirvana Academy 🔱
And happy 5th year to my partner and co-founder @sharat.nirvana 🫶🏻🥰

We miss you Papa💔

The father I carry in my heart is the one who held the hands of this little orphan child… the one who gave me a life of love, care, & protection at a time when life had already taken away more than I could comprehend, at an age too young to understand the loss I was living through.

You gave me a home, a childhood, and a life filled with opportunities I could never have dreamed of on my own. Every comfort I have today carries your silent blessings behind it.

Even when life took us on different, rather opposite paths, my heart never stopped being your daughter. And I will always cherish the father who stood tall for me, worked hard for me, and loved me in his own quiet way.

Today, I’m mustering the courage to give words to the pain of this loss that I’ve been carrying silently.

Thank you for everything you did — the things I saw, and the countless things I didn’t.

May your soul rest in peace, Papa 🤍
Your daughter, always 🪷✨

P.S: Dear Maava❤️,
Thank you for raising the wonderful daughter I’m blessed to share my life with. Your strength and values will live on through her every single day. I promise to take care of her with the same strength and love that you did✨

Always your son-in-law✨
Sharat Nirvana

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
गुरुःसाक्षात् परब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नम: ॥

Guru is Brahma Himself. He is Vishnu and He is the divine Lord Shiva (Maheshwar). Guru is Parabrahma (the Absolute Truth). With this realisation, I offer my utmost respect and gratitude to my Guru 🙏 Extremely grateful to everyone who has ever inspired and educated me.

🪷A visit that touched our hearts deeply…✨

😇 They carry with them the spirit of Gurukula, devotion, & silent service.

Moments like these remind us of the strength we draw from our roots🙏🏻— how staying connected to them keeps us grounded, humble, & aligned with something far greater than ourselves.

A quiet grace lingered in the air… and our hearts are full❤️

🪷 My Mentor Since Childhood 🪷

Shree Ramachandra Bhat ji — fondly and reverently addressed as Acharya 🙏

He is the Pradhānācārya (Head and senior-most teacher) of Maitreyi Gurukulam🪷, where I first began my study of Veda, Yoga, and Ayurveda during my schooling years (he also guides two other Gurukulams for boys - all 3 nestled in the sacred soil of Karnataka❤️).

Recently, I visited Veda Vijnana Gurukulam in Channenahalli to meet him, check on his well-being (kushalopari), and seek his blessings✨ for our upcoming programs—because the roots of Nirvana are deeply nourished by the grace of all my Gurus from Maitreyi Gurukulam, as well as my graduation from SVYASA University.

✨ Forever grateful for their wisdom & blessings ✨
