Nav-Ratri ka Parv
This festival serves as a reminder that the girl child is as precious as the boy. It is also important to remember that while worshipping little girls as Goddess Durga we must also respect the other living goddesses around us.

Shraadh with Shraddha
If your parents are no more, do you miss them? Do you wish you had said, done …? After our parents and grandparents pass on to the higher realms, there may be feelings of gratitude for all that they did, or feelings of remorse for not having done enough for them
Pitron ke Paksh Mein
The best interpretation of the word ‘parent’ has been given by Shri Sathya Sai Baba. He said that ‘parent’ denotes pay-rent. Pay rent to your parents... We can pay the rent of Respect, Empathy, Niceness and Time. Let us remember that after our parents are gone … our siblings are still there.
Mallikarjuna Magic – The 2nd Jyotirlinga
This pilgrimage is unique in its own way, because this is the only place where the Shiva Jyotirlinga and the Devi Shaktipeeth are in the same compound. Every spec of this place exudes energy ... India has so many beautiful places to see and experience … I hope everyone gets to see some … if not all!
My Mother’s Picture
When I set eyes on your eyes,
I feel the connect.
They talk to my heart,
I bow with respect.
Your persona immaculate,
Close to perfect.
Memories so sweet,
A joy to reflect.
Goes beyond this life,
The soul connect.
Staring I stay put,
Shall never forget.

Manmohana Krishna
Just as the chains of Vasudeva and Devki, fell apart when Krishna was born; when the Lord in any form, enters our hearts, all unwanted ties and barriers snap away. All chains of ego, attachment, greed, jealousy and vices too, break away.
Raksha Bandhan, a thread of love that grows stronger with time
They were times when girls were considered the weaker sex; or incapable of looking after themselves. Presently, boys and girls or considered equal. I prefer to believe that when a sister ties Rakhi on the wrist of her brother, she seeks God’s blessings and protection for him.
