Vishaka nakshatra

(To be added to over time)  Vishaka is the 16th among the 27 Vedic nakshtras. The word “Vishaka” translates to “having forked branches.” This nakshatra is also known as “Radha” - “the gift”. This nakshatra ranges from the 20th degree in Libra to 3’20 degrees in Scorpio; so the first three padas of Vishaka fall...

“Goddesses”

The feminine energy in the desire to be looked at. Wanted. Admired. Focused on. Is it selfish? It is ego-driven? Hardly. It is praising nature’s creation, thinking - ‘wow, dear divine, you created this and I want the best for it. I will embrace this spirit, this body. I will decorate it and move with...

dead to me now

It’s like being compelled to obsess by puppeteers of brain chemicals.  As much as I know how to shake myself out of a delusion, here I still am.  It wasn’t love then… but what about now? Simulation done and I chose it again.  To fake it till I made it. To stick through a thought,...

A means to an end

written on 11th July 2021 Among rubble hearts, dead desires, empty canvases, dying passion, hopeless floating, dreamless nights, want-less purposes, defeated words, neglected aches, diminished worth and forgotten souls. Here’s a heart you can call a tragic home. The walls between which you can throw your tantrums, hold your ground, grow in silence, in love, in torment,...

In-depth Astrological Autobiography Part 1/3

Until then, I was...

Take it

written on August 1, 2018 It was bitter cold- the wind, but I really couldn’t care.  I existed, dumbfounded. Muffled in acceptance. I wanted a hand to hold, a voice to speak to me.  In the middle of the world, I wanted to strip down to nothing.  Take it. Take it. I whispered.   Every...

Cookie Jar

written on August 4, 2018 “We are made with the intellect of gods, my brethren” I said aloud in an empty classroom that had ink marks on tables that read Acronyms barely as old as half a decade of human existence’s past.  I said aloud and I looked at the floor. ‘I must be insane’...

Understanding the need to achieve

written on 4th September 2019 I constantly questioned the things I wanted sometimes. Especially this past year. Having constantly embedded spiritual practices and yoga into my daily life, I still wondered why I wanted things that I knew in the back of my mind are things of the surface, the ego. Silly little material things....

Excerpt written by – @beerbiceps

India is considered the spiritual capital of the world. Every time I travel within our country, some of my spiritual learnings are re-learnt and amplified.  These are some of my spiritual learnings:  There exists 3 kinds of suffering in the world - physical (illness, injury), mental (sadness, heartbreak) and the greatest suffering of all -...

Gurudev on Love

See, in conversation we say, “See, I love that because …………….” It is the most stupid thing. You love something and say because? I love you because you are very good, I love you because you are honest? You are not loving that person, you love those qualities. And there is nothing great in you loving those qualities....
