Spreading Positivity

  The outer world is the echo. The inner world is the voice... The outer world is the echo. The inner world is the voice. This thought stayed with me for a long time after I read it. It gently reminded me that life around us is not randomly loud or silent, it responds. What we experience outside is often a reflection of what we nurture within. Our inner thoughts, emotions, intentions, and faith quietly shape how the world meets us. When our inner voice is restless, the world feels chaotic. When it is grounded, even uncertainty carries meaning. Recently, during a parents–teacher meeting with families of hearing-impaired children we support, this truth unfolded in a very touching way. After the meeting, one parent stayed back to share her experience. Calm yet emotional, she spoke about how, after twelve long years, her child finally responded when she called out his name. It was the first time she felt truly heard as a mother, and the first time her child heard her voice clearly. The...

  Making meaningful connections… I read a beautiful quote somewhere that I truly love, “I love those connections that make this big old world feel like a little village.” My goodness, such a deep message. Today, social media has made it easy for us to connect; it has helped make the world smaller, and we can reach each other in a fraction of a second. But are all these connections truly meaningful, or are they just superficial? When we think about a small village in our country, there are not many facilities, small houses, few people, limited means to earn money. Yet there is no ego, no attitude. People are close to each other; they spend time together. Recently, I visited Sariska village near Jaipur, where there is vast land for a wildlife safari. Earlier, a few small villages existed there, but the government relocated them to develop and enhance the tiger reserve. Very few people live there now, yet they are deeply connected. They fetch water together, children walk together to ...

  Positive human connection... We often hear that soul-to-soul connections are the purest form of human bonding in this universe. But in today’s world of rat races, scientific revolutions, artificial intelligence, robots in the making, and fast-paced relationships, even imagining such deep connections feels difficult. Yet, I believe that if we truly observe, positive human connections still exist and quietly work around us. These connections are reflected in simple moments, sharing a smile, laughter, kindness, and humility; spreading happiness with family and friends; or taking out a few moments to listen to someone in need. Sadly, in this fast-moving world, such moments rarely happen unless conscious effort is made. Though social media and digital communication have brought us closer through messages and information, what we often miss is warmth. Every positive human connection rooted in love and warmth creates a powerful and lasting impact. Recently, I met a lady who came to see ...

LIGHT NEW YEAR WITH NEW HOPE There is the supreme energy of our Almighty, the Sun, the Moon, the stars, the Earth, and Mother Nature in its vast presence through mountains, trees, animals, birds, and plants. All of them silently spread one message across the world: that we need to make the world more beautiful and worth living. Our sacred book, the Bhagavad Gita, written by our ancestors centuries ago, consists of 18 chapters, each carrying profound meanings and solutions to almost every problem of human life. It teaches us that life can be organised beautifully if we consciously choose happiness and positivity. When we decide to see goodness, sorrow slowly loses its grip on us, and we learn to live free from constant deliberation. Today, while fitting a hearing aid for a child, I witnessed a sudden spark of light on his face,  as if he had received a new life filled with hope. These special children are immensely inspirational. Their reactions light up my own life every single day...

Who Is a Santa Claus? Discovering the Santa Within Us When we hear the name Santa Claus, we often associate it with joy, gifts, and smiling faces. To me, Santa Claus represents something far deeper than a festive symbol. He stands for selfless giving, quiet compassion, and unconditional care. A Santa Claus can be someone who quietly pays for a stranger’s groceries, leaves a kind note for a colleague, or checks on an elderly neighbour without being asked, small gestures that carry big warmth. Santa is not limited to a particular season or celebration; he exists wherever kindness flows naturally. I truly believe that Santa Claus is not someone we wait for, he is someone we choose to become through our everyday thoughts and actions. In today’s world, social media has gone extremely loud, while internal communication has silently reduced. We are constantly surrounded by opinions, comparisons, and digital noise, yet we rarely pause to listen to our inner voice. This constant distraction has...

  When Life Speaks ... Life given by God in this universe reminds us how precious existence truly is. We enter this world without words or understanding. Before we learn to speak, we observe, we hear sounds, see actions, feel emotions, and absorb our surroundings. Gradually, these experiences shape our personality and development. Some grow with fear, some with confidence; some cry often, some remain cheerful and light-hearted. Some trust themselves deeply, while others constantly doubt their worth. Some celebrate every moment, while others complain endlessly. Some encounter obstacles and give up, while others cross every roadblock and continue moving forward. These thought patterns never stop, but how we learn to handle them defines what our life ultimately speaks. Life speaks through the karma we carry over the years. It reflects our actions, intentions, emotions, and reactions. It speaks through how we listen, how we perceive situations, and how we respond to challenges. I felt ...
