Hey !!👋

This week, let's read about:

• We were at IMA 2023 gathering in Hyderabad!

• Adi in the university of diverse people

• Aligning to the inner self

Can you stop growing if you keep seeking and moving forward? I am asking this question a lot these days.

As Adi and I travel and meet amazing people from different fields, I am repeatedly amazed by their stories.

Last week, we were in Hyderabad attending the Indian Multiverse Alliance gathering, and our conversations were eye-opening.

The energy of the room was palpable, and I felt all these stories that were being shared taking the shape of a beautiful river flowing through us.

Even though everyone had their journeys, an overarching connection tied us together.

We were united in our quest to learn from each other's experiences and use them as fuel to drive us forward.

Adi went around talking and connecting with people, and I noticed something powerful.

Everyone had a unique story but shared the same passion for discovery and progress.

Seeing how these people were united by this common ethos of growth and exploration was humbling despite their different backgrounds.

The endless journey is not limited to physical travel but also a growth journey within ourselves. It's an exploration of our capacity, potential, and beliefs.

And while the destination may be unknown, what matters most is the journey itself.

Your destination can always change and become something new. No matter how long your path is, the adventure will always continue if you constantly search for fresh opportunities.

Adi in a university of diverse people. 

Adi made friends with people of all ages. He spoke to different people to understand their work and exchange ideas.

He also found people who shared his sustainability vision, self-sufficiency, and collaborative learning.

Adi was inspired by the energy of the crowd and their stories. After all, what he found was not just knowledge but an environment that encouraged collaboration and creation.

Aha moment- Adi came home and sang Hindi Patriotic Songs he learned at the gathering.

Here is what some people had to say about Adi

Inner Stillness: The Vital Path to Discovering Purpose and Unique Gifts

The Significance of Stopping and Centering

In the chaos of our daily lives, it's easy to lose sight of our innermost desires and aspirations.

Stopping momentarily allows us to quiet the external noise and listen to our inner voice.

This centring brings clarity and a deeper understanding of what truly matters, guiding us toward a path that resonates with our core values.

Aligning with a Meaningful Way of Life

Discovering our purpose is akin to finding a compass that steers our life's journey.

Aligning ourselves with a way of life that aligns with our beliefs and passions gives us a sense of direction. It infuses our actions with intention, making every step purposeful and meaningful.

Unveiling Our Unique Gifts

We have unique gifts, talents, and strengths that set us apart. These gifts are our inherent qualities and the keys to fulfilling our purpose. Through introspection and exploration, we uncover these gifts that make us who we are.

Contributing to the Betterment of All

Embracing our unique gifts isn't just for personal growth; it's an opportunity to contribute to the betterment of society.

Our strengths can be harnessed to create positive change.

Discovering and nurturing these gifts allows us to offer valuable contributions that uplift others and create a more harmonious world.

In this pursuit of reconnection, We embarked on a transformative journey to Kanha Shanti Vanam in Hyderabad.

Little did I know that those days of tranquillity would become a pivotal chapter in our lives. The serene surroundings and the nurturing environment allowed us to pause and genuinely centre within.

As we explored mindfulness, self-reflection, and the practices imparted by the ashram, we found ourselves aligning with our true purpose. It was an experience that will live with us forever and nourish our growth journey.

Sharing these lines, I learned in the ashram from friends

"मत कर माया को अहंकार, मत कर काया को अभिमान

काया गार से काची, काया गार से काची, जैसे ओस रा मोती

झोंका पवन का लग जाये, झपका पवन का लग जाए

काया धूल हो जासी"

"Do not let pride envelop material possessions or your body succumb to vanity.

The body is as fragile as glass, as delicate as a dewdrop on a leaf,

A gust of wind can sweep it away, a blink of wind can end it,

The body is as transient as dust."
