Life’s highs and lows are like seasons they’re not permanent. Don’t lose hope in winter; it’s just a passing phase. Stay grounded. Stay wise. And remember never pack for summer during winter.
Touched by the Divine: Xander’s Search for Truth From the peaks of Ladakh to the lotus of Vrindavan one soul’s journey home.
Meet Xander. A year and a half ago, he left London in search of something deeper, something real. His quest took him through Ladakh, Himachal, and eventually mystically to Vrindavan. Along the way, he found the Bhagavad Gita, and somehow, Krishna found him.
After returning to London, he connected with devotees, began attending weekly programs, and today he’s been living blissfully in a temple for over a year, practicing Krishna consciousness with sincerity and joy.
We met recently at ISKCON Soho Temple, London, and he asked me a question that really struck me: “How do we develop spiritual hankering?” I was moved by his depth and even more by his humility. When I asked about his family, he smiled and said: “My mother chants. My father just said if this makes you happy, I’m happy.”
In a world chasing noise, here was someone listening to the whisper of the Divine. Every now and then, we meet souls like Xander, souls not pushed, but pulled by grace. Their stories remind us that Krishna is not far for those who are sincerely seeking, He is already guiding.
Inner calm isn’t weakness it’s leadership in its highest form. In a world full of noise, the one who leads with clarity and stillness stands out. Breathe. Pause. Respond not react. Because true power begins with a calm mind.
In the serene gardens of Bhaktivedanta Manor, where peacocks dance and prayers rise with the dawn, I found myself embraced by the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda, Sita Ram Lakshman Hanuman, and Gaura Nitai.
This is no ordinary place: a mansion gifted by George Harrison in 1973, his album Living in the Material World transformed into a haven of devotion. Etched with the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada, who blessed these grounds with compassion and vision, the Manor stands as a testament to a Beetle's spiritual surrender.
During my stay, I had the blessing to serve alongside HG Damodar Prabhu in offering sessions on devotee care to the leaders of this sacred sanctuary, a space where hearts are molded by seva, and leaders are shaped by love.
I was equally honored to interact with the sincere students of the residential ashram program young minds anchored in bhakti, their spirits nourished by a legacy born from Harrison’s grace. With a heart full of gratitude, I thank HG Sundarananda Prabhu and HG Hemangi Radhika Mataji for their commitment to Srila Prabhupada’s mission. And to Karan Prabhu, whose grounded support and cheerful spirit made our time in the ashram all the more delightful.
May this sacred abode, forever flourish as a lighthouse of devotion where a rockstar’s gift echoes through generations, and Krishna’s love dances eternal in every peacock’s cry.
Why do leaders feel empty even after reaching the top? Because true fulfillment doesn’t come from titles or targets it comes from alignment. The Bhagavad Gita teaches: when leadership is rooted in purpose, not just performance, it becomes a path of inner growth. Lead not just for profits, but for a higher purpose. That’s where true success lies.
British Museum Diaries: Where Time Whispers Truth.
From ancient Egypt’s mummies to China’s Laughing Buddha, from timeless manuscripts to the iconic red phone booth the British Museum felt like a meeting point of civilizations, a sacred crossroads where history breathes and cultures converse.
As we walked through its grand halls, what stood out wasn’t just the diversity of traditions, but the thread that binds them all the quest for something higher. In every age, in every land, people searched for meaning, for connection, for the divine. And there it was a spiritual unity amidst worldly variety. Languages differ. Customs change. But the soul? The soul is the same. A spark of the Supreme, yearning to return. Empires rose and fell. Their glories are preserved in glass. But the inner call remains eternal. The question is are we answering it?
Even the red phone booth outside whispered something Some calls come not from without, but from within.
Time isn’t just ticking it’s your life passing by. You can earn money back, but not a single lost moment. So spend it on things that bring purpose, peace, and progress. Use your time like it’s sacred because it is. Time is not money. It’s life. Invest it wisely.
East London Diaries: Underground Wisdom, Overflowing Grace in the heart of East London, where trains race and lives blur, We found stillness in scripture, in sangha, in smiles that spoke of Bhakti’s joy. Even the Tube ride felt symbolic: To rise in Bhakti, sometimes we must go deep within. Our student gathering was soul-deep, Bhakti Shastri completed, Bhakti Vaibhav pursued, and hearts lit with purpose. Special gratitude to Mother Rashmi and family, whose home became a haven. She rose early, cooked with love, and served us all like a quiet queen of devotion. In this city that never slows down, you reminded us: Bhakti is the true London Eye lifting us higher, giving us vision that lasts beyond time.
In a world full of noise, staying calm is your real superpower. Don’t hand over the remote of your peace to the chaos around you. Train your mind to respond, not react. Be the boss of your inner world. Be the guardian of your peace.
“In Front of the House of Commons – A Palace of Power, A Mirror to the Mind”
It looks like a palace, and in a way, it is. Here, voices rise and clash, debates, decisions, declarations. Laws are made, history is written, and nations are steered. All in the name of the “common people.”
But standing in front of this grand facade, I couldn't help but reflect: Just as the House of Commons debates to rule the land, our mind, too, holds a parliament of its own.
Desires speak. Logic argues. Emotions protest. And the soul? Often outvoted, unheard, sitting quietly like a wise but silenced Lord.
Sometimes, the mind becomes like a House of Commons in chaos, where every impulse demands to be obeyed, but no real peace prevails.
That's why the Gita teaches us not just how to rule the world, but how to govern ourselves.
Self-mastery is the highest form of leadership. Because when the soul becomes the speaker, and Krishna becomes the guiding intelligence, then the real kingdom within is finally at peace.
Free food keeps pigs distracted. Free content keeps us scrolling. The price? Our attention. Our clarity. Our freedom. When we consume endlessly without intention, we don’t realize we’re the product. Choose wisely what you feed your mind. Because freedom isn't lost in chains it's lost in distractions.
Life’s highs and lows are like seasons they’re not permanent.
Don’t lose hope in winter; it’s just a passing phase.
Stay grounded. Stay wise.
And remember never pack for summer during winter.
