☉ Self

  There are seasons. Just like a seed doesn’t sprout into fruit without surrendering to the darkness of the soil, the soul too begins in the loam of humble action—servitude not as inferiority, but as sacred initiation. I’ve walked this path within myself—again and again—and every time, it starts with a letting go of “me first.” When the ego is too loud, the silence must begin with seva . 🌱 The First Flame: Śūdratva – The Spirit of Service In this life, before I could touch peace, or understand moksha , I had to learn how to serve. Not the kind of serving that pleases others or wins praise, but the kind that empties the cup of ego. Seva —when done without a name attached—melts the boundaries between “I” and “Thou.” This is the foundational stage of spiritual evolution, what ancient India called Ś ūdratva , often misunderstood, but deeply sacred. It is here that the Mulādhāra Chakra —the root of all becoming—is awakened. Its whisper is not of ambition but of anchoring. ...

Garuḍa Purāṇa verses are not merely doctrines of death—they are reflections of the living subtle body, maps for the soul’s journey through its own veils. What appears as myth and moral tale is actually a deeply coded manual for Sādhanā , for tattva-jñāna , and for transmuting this human life into a luminous passage toward mokṣa . The “journey of the soul” described after death is, metaphorically, the ascent of consciousness through the subtle body—mirroring the yogic raising of energy through the chakras in pursuit of final release (mokṣa). The obstacles and purifications in the death journey reflect, in coded form, the inner obstacles a yogin meets and overcomes through disciplined sādhanā. The eternal dialogue between Viṣṇu and Garuḍa in the text is a restatement of the guru-shiṣhya (teacher-student) dynamic in the Upaniṣads, emphasizing guidance, inquiry, and revelation. All stages of existence are to be read as unfolding of Brahman-consciousness, and every mythic event as a facet o...

🔺☉🔻 Before sexuality is formed, there is sexity — the naked hum of life’s longing — the undivided current of life that moves matter toward spirit. Before the mind assigns identity, preference, or moral meaning to sexual energy, there is something more original. Something prior. It is not constructed. It is not cultural. It is not even personal. It is sexity — the foundational pulse of life-energy in its unshaped, undivided form. Sexity is not what we feel about sex. It is what exists before thought. It is not an idea. It is not behavior. It is the raw current of creative force that moves all beings toward union — not just with another, but with the whole. This force is not unique to humans. It is not limited to the physical act. It is the very vibration by which form arises out of formlessness. In Tantric understanding, this is Śkti in her primal state — coiled potential, silent but aware. In Vedanta, it is Māyā energized by Brahman — not illusion, but the dynamic play...

≡☉≡ Chakras are not as mere theories, but living centers of energy and consciousness within us. They are the spinning lotuses of prana (life force) where our subtle and physical selves meet. Ancient Vedic and Tantric texts picture them as wheels on the inner pathways (nadis) that channel our vitality. From base to crown, each chakra embodies a facet of being – survival, creativity, power, love, expression, intuition, and bliss – and together they form the spiral of spiritual awakening. As we journey upward through these centers, we gradually release dense, unconscious energies and open to deeper wisdom. In the words of a modern yogi: “Kundalini is awakened at the root chakra (Muladhara) and driven up the sushumna nadi, traversing each chakra until its destination at the crown” . this post discusses  chakra by chakra , weaving together classical teachings (Tantra, Vedanta, Kriya Yoga, Kashmir Śaivism) and practical exercises, so that these luminous centers become more than concep...

You can say “I am rich” a hundred times and still feel poor inside. Not just in money. But in ease, in clarity, in connection, in that quiet sense of enoughness we’re all secretly chasing. Many people use affirmations to rewrite their reality. They speak them with force, repetition, even hope. But something doesn’t stick. And that’s not because affirmations are useless. It’s because we often skip the most important part of the process: We speak the attribute before fully inhabiting the awareness that precedes it. I’ve learned something simple but important: when an affirmation feels like a lie, don’t try to say it louder. Instead, return to where it begins . Not with “rich.” Not even with “I am.” But with: Now. Why “I am rich” feels hollow when it’s disconnected When someone says “I am rich,” it often clashes with the evidence of their current experience. The mind resists. The body tenses. There’s an inner flinch that says, No, I’m not. That’s because these words are tryin...

  Sometimes, the mind is lit with clarity. The idea is noble. The vision is sound. You sit with a thought like: “I want to create abundance.” But somewhere between thinking it and living it… something stalls. You feel tight in your chest. Or uneasy in your belly. You speak the mantra of abundance, but your hands tremble with doubt when it’s time to act. You visualize success… but avoid opening that email. Why? Because thoughts don’t move the world. Embodied thoughts do. And unless they pass through the sacred corridor of the heart — and take root in the earth of your lower chakras… They stay as birds in the mind — beautiful, winged, but caged. 🌸 From Thought to Action: The Sacred Descent In yogic wisdom, we don’t just think . We channel . Thoughts, when pure, are light received at the upper chakras — – Ājñā (third eye): Insight – Viśuddha (throat): Clarity of expression – Sahasrāra (crown): Divine guidance But even the most divine insight cannot bloom unl...

SELFITY — a sevenfold framework of self-realization drawn from the chakras and illumined by the timeless light of Vedānta. Each letter of SELFITY holds a key to awakening: S elf, E nvision, L iberate, F lourish, I gnite, T ransform, Y ield. It is a living rhythm — one that mirrors the inner journey from survival to Self, and from ego to essence. Liberation isn’t just found in temples or mountaintops. It awakens through the sacred rhythm of daily life. SELFITY is a soul-aligned chakra-based framework that guides your journey from ego to essence, through action, insight, and inner stillness. Where Does Liberation Begin? Is it born in stillness — or awakened in service? Does it arise in the silence of a mountaintop… or within the sacred rhythm of everyday life — brewing tea, sweeping the floor, speaking truth when it’s least convenient? The more this path unfolds, the clearer it becomes: liberation is not linear. We do not ascend step by step — we spiral inward. From th...
