Ahamkara vs Bhakti - lessons to learn from Shiva's Bhakti

  Ahamkara vs. Bhakti: Lessons of Shiva 's Devotion - Ravana the Demon king In the vast tapestry of Hindu Gods and ancient history, Ravan, the infamous demon king of Lanka, stands as a complex and intriguing figure. Known for his intellect, power, and devotion to Lord Shiva, Ravan's story offers profound insights into the dynamics of pride (ahamkara) and devotion (bhakti). Ravan's devotion to Lord Shiva was unwavering and profound. He performed intense penance and sought to win the favor of Mahadeva through his prayers and offerings. However, despite his sincere devotion, Ravan's downfall lay in his pride. His ahamkara, or excessive pride in his status as a devotee of Shiva, clouded his judgment and led him astray. Ravan's ahamkara manifested in various ways throughout his life. His sense of superiority and entitlement fueled his ambition, leading him to commit heinous acts and ultimately challenge the gods themselves. Despite his immense power and knowledge, Ravan&

Embarking on the Zumba Journey: From Doubt to Triumph

Image
In 2011, I stepped onto the dance floor with one simple intention: to experience the sheer joy of movement. Little did I know that this decision would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey—one that would test my resilience, challenge my limits, and ultimately, lead me to triumph. Six years into my Zumba journey, I found myself at a crossroads. In 2018, I made the bold decision to pursue formal training as a Zumba fitness instructor. Yet, instead of receiving encouragement and support from my peers, I was met with skepticism and doubt. Even my so-called "Zumba friends" questioned my abilities, labeling me as a "bad dancer" and asserting that I wouldn't succeed as an instructor. But I refused to let their words define me. Instead, I chose to let my passion and determination guide me forward. With unwavering persistence, I immersed myself in the practice of Zumba, dedicating countless hours to honing my skills. I practiced tirelessly, scrutinizing every mo

Transforming Perspectives: How Access Consciousness Shifted My View on Money

Image
  In 2016, I embarked on a journey that would profoundly alter my perception of money and abundance: Access Consciousness. Little did I know that a simple Bars class, with its seemingly hefty price tag of Rs 12,000, would be the catalyst for a profound shift in my relationship with wealth. As I hesitantly parted with my hard-earned money to enroll in the Bars class, doubts crept into my mind. Was this investment truly worth it? Was I making the right decision? These questions lingered as I awaited the class on Thursday, questioning the value of what lay ahead. Yet, it was on the following Friday that the universe revealed its intricate ways. A student unexpectedly reached out to inquire about an angel therapy workshop—an opportunity I seized without hesitation. Little did I anticipate the financial windfall that would follow. With three additional participants joining, the workshop garnered a total of Rs 16,000—a sum that surpassed the cost of my initial investment. This fortuitous tur

Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1.
