Attunement - A Receipt from the Cosmos


In the popular book "The Alchemist," the main character, Santiago, discovers that a Personal Legend, which represents one's deepest desires, is connected to the Soul of the World. 

It is about these messages I am writing about today





As the onset of Navaratri arrives, a vibrant transformation sweeps through the atmosphere, signaling the start of a festive season. The colors change, radiating an infectious vibrance that beckons us to join the celebrations.


On the first day of Navarathri, we participated in a Chandi Homa ceremony held at the sacred Sharadamba Temple. The weather, though brisk, graced us with bright and sunny skies.


Beneath the vibrant canopy, the sacred fire was kindled, drawing a gathering of devotees. The air filled with the melodious resonance of chants. After each adhyaya, or chapter, offerings were presented, often consisting of dry fruits and coconuts. With devotion in their hearts, the crowd bowed in reverence, embracing the experience and continuing to be an integral part of this sacred celebration.


An infectious aura enveloped the sacred ceremony. The resonant chants, the crackling fire in the homa kunda, the refreshing chill in the air, and the resonating sounds of the gong all worked together to create an ambiance that connected people to the elements, reminding us of the authenticity of such experiences.


In the presence of the divine, we are bestowed with blessings, and our hearts overflow with gratitude in magnanimity. We become attuned to the messages being conveyed to us, and we embrace the abundant glory that the universe offers. The frequencies we experience are an answer to our prayer. A metaphysical connection that we were yearning for, has now been made. To achieve this harmony, we willingly shed the burdens of pride and ego, allowing us to receive the insights. 


It is a natural process of plumbing the depths of our being, aligning ourselves with the cosmic forces, and refining the vessel – our body – in the continuous journey toward enlightenment.


Wishing everyone success in the pursuit of your seek - Happy Navarathri

BOOK REVIEW: ALL THE WAY TO THE RIVER - ELIZABETH GILBERT

Image
Twenty years after Eat, Pray, Love took us on a journey of self-discovery through Italy, India, and Bali—delivering Felipe as the seemingly perfect ending—Elizabeth Gilbert returns with a memoir that shatters our illusions about “happily ever after.”  All the Way to the River is an unflinching look at what happens when life refuses to stay static—when the Brazilian man from that sun-drenched conclusion becomes just another chapter, not the final page. Life continued beyond Bali. And when Rayya Elias entered Gilbert’s world—raw, unpredictable, and intense—we witness a love story that refuses to conform to expectations. The heart of this memoir lies in its brutal honesty about codependency. Gilbert reveals how our need for another person’s presence can quietly transform from love into burden, often without our noticing. She shows how women give more than they should, are nicer than they need to be, and find comfort in constantly doing for others—while forgetting to treat themselves...

Review of Braiding Sweetgrass Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to live with more intention—slowing down, noticing the gifts around me, and questioning the endless drive for “more.” In that search, I picked up Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. It turned out to be exactly the kind of book that doesn’t just give you information, but gently shifts the way you see the world. What follows is my reflection and review. Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass  is one of those rare books that feels like both a lesson and a gift. It blends Indigenous teachings, ecological science, and personal storytelling into a vision of what it means to live in true relationship with the earth. What makes it powerful is not just the knowledge it shares, but the way it reshapes how you see the world around you.   Reciprocity and Ritual At the heart of the book is the idea of reciprocity: the practice of taking only what you need, offering gratitude, and givin...

The Lion Women of Tehran - Marjan Kamali

Image
Lion Women of Tehran is an unforgettable page-turner that deeply resonated with me. It seamlessly weaves a vivid political backdrop with an intimate exploration of friendship and self-discovery.  Huma’s unwavering courage and selflessness contrast beautifully with Elie’s vulnerability and search for identity, creating a dynamic that is both relatable and inspiring. The novel thoughtfully examines the nuances of relationships, highlighting how one person’s strength can empower another to find their own.  The juxtaposition of Huma’s boldness with Elie’s introspection underscores the beauty of human connections and the complexity of personal growth. Beyond their individual stories, the book paints a rich picture of Iran’s culture and struggles, offering universal truths about resilience, love, and forgiveness. Huma’s final words encapsulate the novel’s message: “Not the world, nor the owning of it, nor even success in it. I wish for you the ability to be free....
