The power of prayers transcends all other cosmic energies. It is a hotline to God since praying is a direct approach to the creative force, which melts seamlessly into the universal power of love. Prayer goes to the primordial source of all energy. Asking for material goodies like money, name, fame and success is not […]
Meherbai and Merwanji loved movies, not just Bollywood and Hollywood but even World Cinema. They relished movies from various parts of the world as well as Tamil, Telugu and Bengali ones at various film-societies, plus at the NCPA which was their second home in the evenings. For Merwanji, once he saw a movie, that was […]
Meherbai’s Mandli grabbed any occasion to celebrate and enjoy life. Last week being Meherwanji’s birthday, they all got into five cars with their hubbies (otherwise who will drive and carry the luggage?) to Baroda to enjoy themselves. After an early morning 4:00am start, there was the usual delay before the Vasai Bridge and reached Ahura […]
Every person’s life is like a story. Some stories are sad, some are funny, some full of challenges and yet, at the core, every life has all of these. As human beings, we love to tell our stories and in doing so, we recognise the entire gamut of human emotions which are part and parcel […]
In all religions, the female deity is referred to as ‘Mother’. Even as early as the Middle Ages in Europe, the female worship cult was prevalent and one of the names which counts is ‘Mother Julian’ of Norwich. Her spiritual testament, the book ‘Revelations’ describes her spiritual visions, teachings which are like the Durga-mata of […]
Everyday, Meherbai and Merwanji relaxed in the mornings with hot cups of tea after an hour-long walk, followed by meditation on their Colony’s garden bench, soaking in the early morning pranik shakti, the pure energies of trees, flowers, grass and enjoying their daily bites of nature. Today was no different except that Meherbai went up […]
As readers already know, Meherbai and her Mandli of ‘girls’ (all over 70) were a Khanar-Peenar (eating-drinking) bunch who believed in enjoying life to the hilt. They all agreed that in a nation immune to scams, dirty-politics, rapes, poverty, lawlessness, the arrogance of politicians, Bans, demonetization and absconders, a mango-party is God-sent! Meherbai ordered 10 boxes […]
Like everything else in life, money has powerful energies which one can attract, if you have the right attitude towards it, which is to be ‘rich in the mind’. Never use negative terms like ‘I can’t afford it’ or ‘This is too expensive’. This shows the poverty of your mind and the Universe picks-up these […]
Meherwanji read out a headline from a newspaper to Meherbai which said, ‘Short naps can make you happier.’ Meherbai: It says ‘short’ naps whereas you have breakfast and doze-off till lunch, after which you snore like a Ghat Nu Engine till tea-time! Meherwanji: Maybe that’s why I’m happy despite insomnia at night! Meherbai: What insomnia? After eating and sleeping the […]
It was Sheroo’s birthday. She was Meherbai’s neighbour and the birthday-girl personally did all the chowk-chadan-toran-sagan herself before carrying a silver tray containing sev-dahi-banana and a boiled egg covered with a delicate embroidered muslin. Sheroo desperately wanted to get married and ever since she was 20, her parents, friends and match-makers (kaj-walis who were themselves spinsters) showed […]
The earliest form of life began in water because of the play of extreme hot and cold temperatures inside and outside the thermal-vents along the ocean beds which created life (science calls this molecular synthesis).This magical quality of water, which generates a rich biodiversity, right from the water-bacteria to a giant whale, is […]
