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🕉️🙏🏻

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 🫶🏻🥰

🪷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❤️

JUST let me BE;
.
under the tender SUN,
in the cool BREEZE,
Where the TREES are long,
and the BIRDS chirp the song,
In that PATH to BLISS,
.
JUST let me BE🥰
