Spiritual Guru Prasad Karmarkar

This is my ode for woman’s day. A day when I choose to share my journey through the past two years. I invited death!! It’s been a battle for me from last year……..I chose to move from one space to another……..physically and spiritually, from the materialist world to a world of just being, to a world of surrender, to the world where I could contribute all my talent and experience in the space of spirituality. The spiritual world was no longer like going to the Himalayas and being in deep meditation, the context has changed, the perception has become different, those in the materialistic world, deeply in the throes of relationships and corporations envisaged to dip themselves in the sea of spirituality and cleanse and move continuously. This is where I saw myself contributing…….. The move was disaster…….did not work…….but the resilience and support that the universe provided to me helped me spring back to the so-called materialistic world but now I was armed with the...

Hey, it's almost a month since I wrote anything, Oct has been unique and truly inspiring for me. I appreciate everything that I have got and every moment I live. Life is blooming like a flower in full bloom. October is that month of the year I wait for very eagerly, we have the reiki intensive transformation workshop at GOA. I was very excited and was looking forward to going to Goa, not only would I meet my Spiritual Guru Prasad Karmarkar but would meet nearly 80+ people of my reiki family and over 40+ new members who will enter this beautiful ring of light and become part of ‘the family’. This year the intensive was truly magical, I was barely out of my surgery but participated 100% in all the exercises and meditations. we had a wonderful surprise – Karnamrita Dasi – one of the dream singers of bhajans and kirtans came to be part of our workshop along with our dearest devotional singer Sundaram. Both of them made our workshop truly spiritual and magical. I cam...

The week that went past had kept me on tenterhooks, I am now in full zoom……..happy and gungho…..my surgery date is fixed for Aug 25 at 7.30 am precise, am all in preparation. I am blowing balloons so that my lungs get in better shape…..steam inhalations for all the tracts to be clear of any congestions, walking so my legs are not swollen and fit, eating only chapatis and subzi to keep my tummy in condition and light, all this cool for physical preparedness, but most importantly I am very very well prepared mentally, the secret is the: My dear friend Vaidy reminded me that I had not encountered the secret and told me to buy the book immediately. What’s more I went to crossword and bought the book pronto……… I began reading the secret that has engulfed me and my life…..stunning book, am just reeling in the effects of the secrets. It’s just toooooo fantastic. I have already visualized myself walking out of the hospital all fine and happening. I am feeling so ener...

The week bygone has been a week full of apprehension and tension, as days are passing I am getting so very impatient and intolerant of my physical status, I am waiting for the surgery to take place and be done with it once and for all. Post-December the surgery was supposed to be done 6 months later, I was eagerly waiting in June, these six months have been very tough and difficult not only physically but challenging mentally and psychologically too. When I met Dr. Chandan in June he discussed with me many issues that could go wrong and right for this surgery. He suggested I take a precautionary dose of pride which would shrink the size of the uterus thereby making it easy for them to remove it and reverse the colostomy. I was so disappointed but certainly, I have to cooperate with the doctors to make it easy for them and reduce the chances of things going wrong. On June 15 I was administered a strong dose of pride, which also has some side effects as per info on the net, I had ...

Hey guys, I don't want to put off anyone with this title of mine…….my guru is different, he is a guru yet not like the guru you would imagine, like the ones with either white or orange robes, long gray or near to gray tresses, beards and rudraksha malas around his neck, age on the other side of 50’s, with that very somber and religious look which is extremely patronizing at times………..and mostly just returned from a Kashi or Banaras or rather Himalayas. My guru is just not all of this………….. He does not wear robes in orange or white but wears jeans and tees sometimes shorts or tracks with a half-sleeved shirt, he wears his hair short and yes they are very black – also no beard black or white:), he never looks benign and patronizing in that sense, he is extremely hip and happening, he speaks wonderful English and is educated to design buildings and houses…..JJ school I think, any time we ask he might have just returned from a trip to Germany or US, he loves rock music a...
