From a Western Doctor to an Ayurvedic Coach, an Ayurvedic Counselor to Ayurvedic Practitioner and Beyond— My vision to integrate Western Medicine and Holistic Medicine. …From a young age, I felt a quiet pull toward healing, a desire to ease pain and bring comfort to people around me. That calling gradually shaped my path and led […]

“The Quiet Art Of Allowing~Allowing It To Simply Be.”…Is surrender the end of spirituality or the doorway to it? I always wondered what surrender means, and I still do today.”Just surrender,” as if it were something simple, but it never felt that way to me for the longest time. Does it mean giving up, not

“The Unseen Pull.” Yes, I love the Indian monsoons, the food, the shopping, the cafes, the energy, the chaos… India has it all, but for me it’s much more than that. I often wonder, why do I keep coming back? Is it the rhythm of the streets, the untold stories of every face, the honk

“The Ganga of Kindred Spirits.” …How strangers become friends, creating unexplainable bonds, truly amazes me. On the road, through my travels, I have encountered some of the most generous hearts, and some of those connections have become friendships that feel like home. Maybe it’s karmic, maybe spiritual, why paths cross, I don’t know. But my heart lights up when

“Toffee In Kashi: And Tiny Sparks.” …Kashi has its own way of speaking. Today, while exploring the narrow “galis”, four small girls came running up to me, saying, “Didi, Toffee De Do, Toffee De Do.” I said I had no toffee, but I would love to take a picture, and they were all for it. Innocent giggles, a spark

…”You must go to Kashi.” I have heard this countless times. Yes, I believe in Shiva intimately, and I have always trusted his divine grace.He lives deep in my heart, in his stillness, his calm demure, and his fierce presence; that’s how I connect with the higher power. But why Kashi? What makes it so special? And then, it happened,

“Two Lands, One Soul.” …Sometimes, it’s not just our inner strength that moves us. Yes, we need that fuel, but oftentimes it’s a person who enters our life at the right moment, an incident that shakes us awake, a circumstance that challenges us, a fleeting situation, or a “PLACE” that we connect to deeply. These are blessings

…My most beautiful trip to Tamil Nadu, India, made me understand that beauty lies hidden in transitions and how we navigate through the different chapters of our lives. Why—a quiet dread when something precious sails away? Why—restless thoughts overwhelm our senses? Why—fear losing what feels rare? Yes, it hurts—deeply, painfully, yes! But not all is

Blessings~ Let Them Be Your Mantra. Dear world, …There are moments in life when everything pauses, comes to a standstill—when we feel stuck. After my accident on August 22, 2017, for months, I carried heaviness within me, unsure how to rise again. However, it was in that stillness that I found—the power of blessings. They became my

AND THE LEELA’S GO ON! …The Lotus has long been my long-standing, enduring obsession: a symbol of spiritual awakening, emerging pure from the grime and dirt, and still a silent beacon of light and truth. Resilient, Enchanting, Ethereal, Pristine, Pure, and Rebirth—Ultimate Transformation. Walking along, I came across a dual-colored lotus, reminding me that life
