New Beginings

Well, it is high time I got to writing my blog- don't you think? I did go away on vacation to California for a while. That set in motion my procrastination, and a chain of events that threw me off completely. I suppose, summer can do that to you. Anyway, all I do know, is that this is my space, which gives me great comfort and solace. This is where Ram Rajya flourishes and this is where I am supposed to be.

Life is not simple by any means. It throws curve balls at you all the time and tries to suck you in. Every time one makes a step forward, it seems that one has to go backwards. So to find elation when one is despondent, one has to be in Ram Rajya. I cannot believe that I am saying this. But the fact of the matter is this. That, I am miserable, when I am away from my Ram Rajya which is right here right now. The more I dilly dallied, and postponed my commitment to this blog, the more unsettled I got. Today, it flashed to me, that my true calling is here. Here, where I can live, and breathe Ram Rajya. Here, where the grace of Ram always flows, one can take a dip and be refreshed. Here, is where His love permeates all, nobody is turned away or rebuked. Here is where we can put our burdens at the feet of Shri Ram and be assured that He will take care of them. Here, is where, one will not be judged, instead showered with good fortune. Here is where all prayers will be answered and nobody will ever be forsaken. This is Ram Rajya after all, we are in His domain.

I did not mean to be away from this Ram Rajya. It does however seems to be a blessing in disguise. It taught me a valuable lesson. The joy and peace that I received from writing about Ram Rajya was so immense that I could only imbibe, after staying away from it!

So, today their is not much else to say, but that, I am very happy and privileged to be back at what I do best- to tell the story of Shri Ram. I pray, that He blesses me and looks at me kindly, so that I can continue on with my journey.

I have said before, that Ram Rajya is not out there somewhere, but within our grasp at all times. When, while driving we have to change gears to reverse, go forward or ascend , similarly in life we have to make shifts, when the time demands. We can choose to be sad or we can change that gear and be in Ram Rajya. That is what I did today. I am so happy that I rediscovered my very own Ram Rajya! JAI HO!
