2013 in my Journey-THE REVIEW


ॐ  अज्ञ्यान-तिमिरान्धस्य  ज्ञ्यानआँगना-शलाकया 
चकसुर  अनमिलितम्   येन   तस्मै   श्री-गुरवे   नमः 

   I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

    New year, new dreams, new hopes, new relationships...how beautiful it is. Every thing new. Leaving off the stains of the past behind, carrying over the unmatched experiences with us in the journey of life, hoping the better.
     With such a feeling I've started my journey through this 2013. Few of the most memorable incidents which took place in my life in the year 2012, which inspired me to a most awaiting new year 2013 like getting engaged with a divine society of blissful people, ISKCON, is the greatest events of my life. The devotees over there have shown me, the myself, which I was missing till then. the association of those people left few positive impressions to carryover the coming year too.
      The other event is getting the glance of the great personality, His Holiness Jagadguru Adisankaracharya Bharathi teerth maha swamy, peetadhipathi, Sringeri sankara mutt. these are the few events which let me spiritually toned for my improvement in my SADHANA, the true living.
