These season's coming upon us... Festive, family, togetherness... But also a time for pulling away, isolation and some stress.... Wherever you're at, please remember, someone somewhere will always be rooting for you... Even if it's you for yourself.

Breathe..
Breathe in calm...
Breathe out everything that doesn't serve you...

No.. it's not that time again to make resolutions, but instead, it is a time to take charge of your practice And renew your focus toward clarity in what needs doing and how much more being is to be experienced!

Join me on Wednesday, 27th December in a very unique chakra guided and affirming Sankalpa Meditation that is sure to deepen both your meditation practice as well as drive clarity on charting your course for 2024 and beyond!

The 2-hour session has no pre-requisites, but an active meditation practice would help you springboard into deeper understanding.

Since I am offering very limited opportunities to work in groups, I am limiting the registrations with an Early Bird offer till the 22nd of December, after which the investment would be a tad higher... Registrations strictly will close on 25th December 2023.

Looking forward to experiencing your beautiful selves in my class!

From making friends with your son's surgeon, to launching her book, to bring invited to her house for a Navarātri dinner.... that's what relationships are made of!

It is a special day today - not just to celebrate our teachers and those whom we consider our gurus, our path torch bearers, quite literally lighting our path as we move ahead in life & navigate Saṃsāra. It is also a special day because in finding our teachers, we have been born into a life that puts us firmly on the path of swadharma.

My gratitude to all my teachers - my parents, grandparents, children, teacers, professors and ācāryas for giving me the gift of the teachings so that I may be able to fulfill my swadharma to the best of my ability.

It is indeed a blessing to find such teachers. May we all have the puṇyam to be Śiṣyas & sādhakas.

Have a blessed Guru Poornima.

We went to Blossoms Book House to pick some gifts for our students yesterday. As we were browsing through the floor-to-ceiling racks in the 'Dictionary' section, I noticed an old yellow unmarked book spine.

No title...
No logo...
Nothing...

So I pulled it out only to be pleasantly surprised and, well, kind of touched - in a Universal, irrationally metaphysical kind of way. Fellow sādhakas will get it!

1. I'm teaching Yogasūtras Ch. 2, Sādhana Pāda at the moment.
2. My lineage is under Sw. Sivananda, whom I have a very strong connection with.
3. The past few months have been challenging - sādhana wise....

All in all, this felt like a nudge from the teacher.... because.... No such thing as a coincidence!

We are often called to check in with ourselves and ask a WHY. Why do I do what I do? What is the intention behind my action? What is my Why?

We started Sādhana Pāda yesterday - in a unique and traditional teaching methodology.... and as we start to contemplate, we're reminded, without mincing any words, to surrender to the divine...

Īśwarapranidhāna...

and whatever will be, will be...

For the teacher and the student alike.

How have you studied the sūtras?
