It was not easy to come to terms with the receding friends, family members and influencers in life when meditation became mainstay of my everyday life.

I drifted without any doubt towards places and experiences that were not even in my dreams but even better than what I could wish for.

There is inner peace and tranquility as part of my awareness of being myself.

I was born in a religiously orthodox family with strict parents who instilled fear in me. I used every opportunity to break free from the oppression but often ended up in wrong places.

But I have never been addicted to anything because self-introspection was like a natural companion to me. But it used to be a heavily tormenting exercise and I soon realised that I was fighting spiritual battles one after the other.

I didn’t have any specific gurus but I was open to reading great scriptures, opening discussions with mystics like OSHO, Rupert Spira, Mooji etc, to name a few respecting them and learning from them. I launched myself on a path of meditation with self-introspection and witnessing even when everything went against me.

I think my fortitude in collecting myself back with meditation every time I fumbled was my greatest achievement in life if I have to pat myself on the shoulder.

Today, I can feel and sense the energy within every soul because I have been through those battles and I know how it hurts.

I am immensely grateful to the Existence for teaching me empathy and compassion
