Wishing everyone a 2026 that manifests Dharma (“your Way”), artha (abundance), and kāma (love).

Looking forward to leaving the snakes in the grass behind 🐍 and riding the passionate momentum of the Fire Horse. 🔥🐎

Peace, love, strength, hope, and plenty of spontaneous hugs & kisses.

Happy New Year ✨

P.S. It seems that every New Year some photos are falling out of the cupboards. Maybe soon it will be the old manuscripts.❣️

"The Art of Us," such a cool name, so excited to see Valentina creating much needed offerings for couples in my hometown, Auckland. Such a brave and revolutionary offering and exactly where it is needed: the masculine and the feminine softening and folding with strength, hopefully, into each other with Love. NZ is not an easy environment to thrive in, but if anyone can do it, Valentina can. Please support her. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRQdBqeE1qM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=eTlkenZmN2pmdzhl

Love our People: learning, growing, sharing, without judgment, softly. Share the Love and the Knowledge as Bertrand Russell used to say.

"Love is more fundamental, as it motivates intelligent individuals to seek knowledge to benefit those they care for, while knowledge ensures that love is not misguided by ignorance."

Knowledge dispels ignorance in Ta**ra.

🌊🏝️Every week we head to the beach to play in the sand. We start with hand stands, peacock, headstands. We support each other and play, even if you don’t think you can, I guarantee you will get a taste of being upside down and exploring another experience of yourself.

Then we build our strength and coordination with all the games we played as kids; cart wheels, wheelbarrow, jumping jacks, etc.

The most important part of the beach exercises, and this entire system is we play and explore as the divine celebrating herself.

🌺🎉🙏🏽

✨ Divine Play — Līlā! ✨�

Why do we speak about "play" at the Ashram?

At the heart of Indic philosophy, līlā means play—not ordinary play, but the joyful, cosmic dance of creation itself! 💫

From Kṛṣṇa's moonlit rāsalīlā with Rādhā and the gopīs of Vṛndāvan—where Rādhā, the rāsa (essence of joy), unites with Kṛṣṇa, the līlā-puruṣa (the playful Supreme Soul)—to Śiva's Tāṇḍava, the cosmic dance of creation where nāda (primordial sound) arises from bindu (the point of potential manifestation), the universe reveals itself as a divine sport of consciousness. 🌙💃🔥

In the Ta***ic version, this līlā is the spontaneous pulsation (spanda) of Śiva, the supreme puruṣa (pure consciousness), reflected through Śakti, the radiant prakṛti (creative nature) that manifests all worlds. Their eternal interplay—sṛṣṭi (creation), sthiti (sustenance), and saṁhāra (dissolution)—flows in ānanda (bliss), the very rhythm of existence itself. ⚡🕉️

Every heartbeat, every breath, every flicker of perception is part of this spanda—consciousness delighting in its own Infinite play. 🎶 So when you dance, sing, or explore your bliss and shadow selves—remember—you are part of the cosmic līlā too! 💖🌍

Everyone, playfully exploring the dance of līlā at the Kovalam Ashram. Thank-you everyone for being there! 🙏✨🤎🙏🏾✨
