From Chandrika
I was a major participant in the world of global finance, with all the trappings of success. Yet, I was tormented by life’s bigger questions – “What is enough?” “Why am I here?” “What is success really?” “What makes me happy?” I longed for the answers, but I did not know what they were or how I would find them.
In the early stages of this complicated journey, I turned to what I have relied on since childhood – prayer. I also took up music again and realized that the happiest moments of my life involved singing.
Reconnecting with my music opened up doorways to deeper practices like breath work and meditation, opening up profound wisdom within myself.
I went from being a stressed out, type-A executive to a much more multidimensional, lighter being. I made a commitment to intensively serve the world with a purity of purpose that became a guiding principle – my daily mantra.
As I slowly began to experience the light within myself, wondrously it started a journey of seeing and reflecting the light in and all around me. Suddenly, even Peace for everyone does not seem enough. I want the world to be enveloped in abundant blessings – all the time.
In my remaining years, I feel a great urgency to make my corner of this extraordinary planet better in any way I can, and be a happy human being in the process.
It is a challenge, but it gets easier every day...
