Hello friends,
I hope you're all doing well and staying positive. Today, I want to take you on a journey — not to some big city, but to my village nestled in the lap of the mountains. While the plains and cities are burning under the summer sun, here in the hills, the monsoon has embraced the land with its cool touch and soothing rhythm.
    This season isn't just about rain; it’s about connection — with nature, with people, and with the divine. As the lush green spreads across the mountains and the scent of wet soil fills the air, the holy month of Sawan has begun — a sacred time when devotion flows as freely as the rivers.
In celebration of this spiritual season, our village organized a beautiful Ramayan recital. It wasn’t just a religious event — it was an experience. From young children to elders, every person from the village gathered with joy and reverence. The temple echoed with the melodious chants of Lord Ram’s name, the sound of conch shells, and the rhythm of bhajans.

What touched me most was the sense of unity. People weren’t just attendees — they were participants. Some were arranging the seating, others were preparing prasad, and a few were leading the bhajans. The energy was pure, the intention was clear — to come together in the spirit of devotion and community.

While reciting the Ramayan and singing praises of Lord Ram, it felt as if time had slowed down. In that moment, nothing else mattered. The chaos of the outer world faded, and what remained was a deep sense of peace — a connection to something higher, something eternal.
Events like this are a reminder that spirituality isn’t just about rituals — it’s about emotion, togetherness, and the joy of giving time to something beyond ourselves. In today’s world, where stress and isolation are becoming the norm, such experiences are not just refreshing — they’re necessary.
Our village may not have tall buildings or fast-paced life, but it has something far more valuable — a beating heart that unites everyone during moments of faith and celebration.

If you ever feel overwhelmed by city life or lost in daily chaos, I invite you to visit a village during monsoon. Walk barefoot on the wet earth, listen to the temple bells in the distance, sit quietly during a Ramayan recital — and you’ll realize what peace truly feels like.
Proud to be rooted in a culture where even the rains sing bhajans.
