Purple Waters

It is said that when the fourth (and the only remaining) column breaks, the world will end. This is the cave of Kedareshwar, in which there is a big Shivalinga, which is totally surrounded by water. The total height from its base is five feet, and the water is waist-deep. It is quite difficult to...

Anayaasa’s visit

3:11 am, a gentle, electrically charged breeze grazes my forehead, white feathers placed in my palms, I open my eyes to a vibrant, otherworldly blue... Anayaasa! "Maayi, you're up!"

Huge milestones

(Artist - Aaron Jasinski) It has been a while and healing is an understatement. Transformation sounds more right.

Fundamentally who I am

My energy is a beautiful garden; here you'll find flowers of every shape, size and color.

When your being roars in response to all...

Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra is associated with the energy of creativity, luxury, and...
