A circle of light, Some spreading stars. A divine moment of perfect individuality, Awareness, independence, compassion And tranquillity. Obviously there is no question of hatred, But this is beyond love too. That is it! Wishing you a peaceful saturday friends!!! Medhavi :-)

Lo! Few weeks ago I was thinking of having workshops among the youth. Just a few trips to government schools and I found the platform. I found them full of youth energy, an energy which is fresh, unbiased and full of enthusiasm. Eyes were following me as if asking, 'what this new face is doing here?' I met their principal to ask if any help is required to improve the infrastructure of the school and I offered that besides infrastructure, I would like to be associated with the

Tell me, how much should I write on you? You won’t let me sit and write on some other topic. You want me to write on you only. When I raise my head to see you, I forget everything, every other idea going on in my mind halts and I get lost in your innocent beauty. Since the full moon day you are decreasing day by day and not only that; you even keep changing your path, bit by bit. Yes, I noticed that day before yesterday you were a bit in the west and with each passing day yo

O moon! No matter how many perspectives do I hold to see you; how many adjectives do I use to describe your immense beauty, the truth is they can't even depict a bit of your tremendous glory. And if they are, how can they describe your inner strength, your core qualities? Which, according to me, are endless too. As I observe, you are serene, divine, unbiased, calm, stable, tranquil, hard-working... No, hard-work is a tiny word for you. You are above that, may be a karma-yogi.

A journey towards the core. Truth, to the core, Honesty, to the core, Individuality, to the core, Conduct, to the core, Knowledge, to the core, Vision, to the core, Ego, to the core, Focus, to the core, Transparency, to the core, Understanding, to the core, Presence, to the core, 'I', to the core. At this moment, I become the universe and the universe becomes I. This moment is divine, This moment is the core. Happy Monday friends!!! Medhavi :-)

When we start diving deeper into our conscience, We travel from gross to subtle. How clearly we can see that its a journey inwards, How easily we can be a spectator of our own thoughts. Slowly, we can observe how negative thoughts first affect us, And then they travel outwards. How they injure inner, delicate parts of our conscience, But still sometimes we can be nothing but audience. And audience cannot perform, But of course they can give feedback and reform. Have a great

I read this beautiful & daring philosophy in the book 'Fountainhead' by Ayn Rand. Second handers are those, whose consciousness lies somewhere else, in others' thoughts, beliefs, sayings and faiths. First handers: who have their own beliefs, thoughts, sayings, based on their own findings, experiences, knowledge, their words utter through their true experiments with life. And then, according to me there come the third handers, who are even worse than the second handers. They d

Recently one of our team member died due to a sudden disease. He was just 33 years old. It hurts... But what can be done. I, as a writer, couldn't stop myself to think through his family's perspective and through the philosophical aspect too. Sharing something I wrote. Death of a near one, When a sudden void comes our way. An abyss. When we don't find a way, Completely lost into the darkness. When nothing is left in our life except a big woeful question mark. When we stop fi

O little plant! Recently the gardner has shifted you from that big pot to this even bigger earth (ground), as you grew so big that even that big pot was unable to hold you. How are you feeling at this big change in your life? "Lo! Finally you noticed me, I'm giving you signs by moving my leaves since then only that hey, look at me, at sudden changes in my life, write something upon me but I thought you were ignoring me." "Okay, listen actually I am a bit afraid as I am not us

Sometimes hard like a rock, Sometimes vulnerable like a gawk.* Sometimes on top of the world, Sometimes at the bottom of the cosmos. Sometimes transparent as water, Sometimes act like a plotter. Sometimes light as wind, Sometimes find oneself pinned.* Sometimes feeling joyous, Sometimes extremely nervous. Sometimes motivated towards one's mission, Sometimes having no clue of one's own vision. Sometimes fully present in the moment, Sometimes entangled in the past and future. S

When we hear this term, we think what a great initiative. Indeed it is. According to wikipedia: The right to education is a universal entitlement to education, recognised as a human right that includes the right to free, compulsory primary education for all, an obligation to develop secondary education accessible to all. It encompasses the obligation to rule out discrimination at all levels of the educational system, to set minimum standards and to improve quality of educatio

Art is a beautiful form of expression, which is beyond description. Photography, painting, writing, creating something whether clothes, accessories, buildings or something else, everything is an art. A particular art tells us about the artist and his core personality. Like what does he do all day, what does he think all the time. The artist resides in each of his creation and each of his creation resides in him. There comes a level, when the artist becomes the art and the art

When an inner call wakes one up in the wee hours, To explore one's higher, hidden powers. One must empathise, he has some task to do, An important task, higher in purpose, To accomplish which, one has to break through the barriers of comfort and nature. This strength, this journey is wordless, Where only two observers are there, One is you and the other is the universe. A very happy & contented weekend friends!!! Medhavi :-)

An energy flow, just like a river, When one becomes a giver. Never expecting anything in return, Just keep doing one's very own work. An energy flow, just like the wind, Doing the task which one is assigned. Never expecting anything in return, Just keep doing one's very own work. A consistent energy, just like a mountain, Standing tall without getting frighten. Never expecting anything in return, Just keep doing one's very own work. Alas! One could be like this, Always workin

When we move forward onto the path of truth, gradually we become stronger, we keep asking questions and keep getting their answers as well. Sometimes by our Guru and sometimes by our own experiences and findings. But the path of truth keeps motivating us to ask newer, even deeper questions and to explore newer realms. Slowly we start to put our older beliefs and followings into that circle and test them and test ourselves as well that am I on the right path, am I doing the ri

There comes a stage in search of the truth, when the seeker stops believing or following blindly. When he starts getting rational with the deities or any great personality standing in front of him; that is he/she worth of my worship? Should I bow, in respect, in front of her? And if that personality doesn’t fulfill his intellectual requirement, the seeker feels free to avoid her. Yes, of course they can be friends or acquaintances; but there cannot be a relationship of a Guru

When I started reading it, I didn’t like it much, as I found it full of miracles shown by the different gurus. I feel search of truth doesn’t include miracles only. This path is naked & rough. But somehow I kept reading because whenever I used to read it; a positive and contented aura used to surround me. I used to feel divine in those moments as Yogananda Ji has depicted such beautiful and wise learnings by him and his guru Shri Yukteshvar Ji, that it’s a must read for all t

When the veil of demotivation lifts, we feel lighter and happier again. We want to express ourselves again, completely and profoundly. Then we ask ourselves, why does this happen to me, after every few months? And we answer ourselves, everything is there for a reason and perhaps it, too, is necessary; because after each period of demotivation, we transform. It gives us enough time to think, to take care of our other responsibilities as well. After each demotivation patch, we

When we think about the word-rakshas, an image of evil looking devil comes into our mind, with long teeth and sharp horns. Let me tell you it is a wrong perception. The word, Rakshas is originated from the sanskrit word, 'raksh' which means 'to protect'. It means rakshas are those who protect, this protection can be meant for their people also or for their beloved surroundings and nature as well, as depicted in this book. Hidimba is a rakshasi princess, who lost her parents a

It's said,'Truth has its own way to express itself'. Though it may take time. And it chooses someone to express it, to get curious to know about it, to explore it and to show itself to the world, that this is what I am like, believe it or not. And of course it hurts as the truth doesn't wear any cloak of pretentiousness or sympathy. It is always naked. And it shakes our thoughts and beliefs, gives us a shudder. Obviously sometimes we deny to believe it because we don't want t
