Soulie Saturday #26: Bathe in the Light of Love This Diwali (Mother River Gomti, Dwarka.)
There is a light which cannot ever be extinguished. It is inside of you. It is you. Let your light so shine upon the world that the world will know Who You Really Are -- and its people will know why they really are as well, through the light of your example. The darkness of our world awaits you -- not to engulf you, but to be transformed by you.…

Soulie Saturday #25: An Old House in Pandharpur... A Door To Life.
A rich vibrant colorful gate in the narrow lanes of Pandharpur. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

Soulie Saturday #16: My Small Little Thread. (Nidhivan, Vrindavan)

As I sit on the narrow dry promenade doubling up as a bench and watch in rapt attention, the experience is almost surreal. My gaze is filled with a sombre grey horizon growing in color and depth with each passing moment and a thick blanket of fog hovering a few feet abo…
