A land where I found my divine father, Dhundev Bahadoor. He was a small size man with beautiful smiles and unique laughter's. Short-tempered but indeed a very soft hearted person. Besides that, he was a man with a a variety of character based on the respective situations; emotional, witty, genuine, fine looking, well dressed and a very straightforward man. And I must say he enjoys his meals, anything hot and spicy. The joy was always seen on his facial expression and he would express his satisfaction with a big smile by saying, "Hey Bhaperey Baab". Further more, music, bhajan's and kirthan's were his life. I witnessed his dedication and love towards the community through his service, which is practiced, by his famil...

Intuition

There are many voices we hear from within ourselves - our insecurities and fears, justification of our egos, values of our culture, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control and many more. I am a strong believer in intuition; trusting and following it. Why? Because all my life, my intuitions have guided me well and helped me make the most wisest and best decisions. Sometimes our inner voice guides us towards something outward like building a career or volunteer in projects and other times it is about our inner work such as cultivating courage to do something in life. Many a times, The Universe leads us to accept our circumstances and other times to change them. My personal take is that I pay more attention to my relationship with God through many ways such as spending time in nature, meditating,weekly fasting, reading books, doing some form of community work and many more. Well the truth is that Divine Guidance is not always so rapid and cle...
