unmasked
and stripped

no longer bound
by the bars
of my fears

a precious gem
wrapped in the breath of my beloved

I pray
in the temple
of my truth.

A Devotee at Govind Deoji Temple, Jaipur in Rajasthan

If there is one temple in Jaipur that you must visit, it is this - Govind Devji Temple! I have always been very fond of this place and have found the energy within the temple to be very intense - the faith one can see in the devotees here is powerful and moving. Spend a few minutes in the temple hall and it is easy to feel an unmistakable shared bond of personal connect with Lord Krishna all around. Such is the vibe of the place that it is hard to return empty... without being touched by the fragrance of love and devotion.

Be a part of #Soulie!

A Soul Selfie series or '#Soulie' aiming to meaningfully strengthen my personal connect with my Father, God (call Him by any name you like)  by peeping within my own heart —  collecting your prayers and feelings too as you discover the world – and jotting them down on paper. It’s a spiritual exploration of that which is Unseen and a celebration of that Ultimate sacred space we yearn for - within and without - and the riches we carry in our own hearts. Do take part and share with My Yatra Diary... a piece of your heart.

Here are things you can do if you want to join in.

1. Send me one picture clicked by you and a few lines by your heart on how that captured moment makes you relate with that Supreme - Someone Higher in your life in a more meaningful and healthy way.

2. Follow along with the hashtag #soulie on Instagram.
