The Navratri festival is going on in full swing in my neighborhood. Seems like an auspicious enough period to resurrect this old precious bog of a blog.

Other motivations to blabber on cyberspace again:
- My freshly scrubbed think tank has also gotten an overhaul outta the whole negativity syndrome that had become such a cushy place. It was the beanbag that sank in so luxuriously I almost did not wish to extricate myself from it.
- I feel blessed, loved and re-raring to go! I've had many such 'today is the beginning of the best day of my life', 'every day is a new day' kinda moment over the years, off and on, especially on new year's day and countless new year resolutions; but somehow this time there's been some sort of a paradigm shift in my thought patterns and I'm certain its had a long-term impact on me and how I will and intend to handle my life. I feel gooooooooood! :-)
- August was a divine month in more ways than one. I now feel closer to the whole Universe, the law of attraction, the call of the Divine, God, call it what you like. It feels like I've rediscovered the spiritual wealth of India all over again but with interest and new light. This coming from a non-religious person like me to feel connected to the cosmic world is indeed interesting to observe. Its funny and fun as well! :D
- Am finally at peace with finding the perfect yoga teacher for moi and its a huge relief. Its brought in the much needed calm and discipline I'd been craving for, for far too long. I love my new regime and how it feels. Its so simple and yet so effective. It makes me feel young, strong and powerful like Supergirl :P
- I might be older and a wee bit wiser, but this whole feeling of being born again makes me all the more childlike :D I spent 13 days at a yoga and meditation retreat at an ashram in a holy town of India that I'd barely heard of and would never have dreamt of visiting and actually did not jump the walls or run away! :P Au contraire, it was a beautiful couple of weeks and a fabulous break filled with the powerful and healing energies of a true Sanga. (I don't think I even knew or cared enough to know what a Sanga means prior to this experience.) I've returned renewed and refreshed, and people have been calling me sanyasin, swami, maata and jogan and the like, and I'm lovin' it! :P The reactions are howlarious :D *adjusts halo*
So from a locked in room and listening to Aerosmith songs like Janie's Got A Gun (ok, total exaggeration) to plain good old fresh mountain air, this Jane Jogan's gotten a whole lotta sun!! :-)
