The year that was 2025

-
2025 was the fastest year ever in my life from the Germany chapter. 

I have only two three topics to talk about in 2025. The first being the home sweet home. 

We shifted to our own home around mid January and suddenly it will be a year that we are staying in this wonderful place. It's warm, it's cosy, it's home, for the time being. 

It was not easy to be living in such a big house and maintaining it along with carrying out the daily chores. But my husband made it look easy and doable. We learnt to do so many things on our own, from managing the Gas therme unit to removing the overflowing water from the pump in the cellar. It made us self reliant, self sufficient and taught many things on the go. 

The second topic that kept me engaged was the Adhyatmavari group.

The spiritual movement that was started in March 2023 got bigger and made rounds on the social media where Maharashtrian people from many countries in Europe got to know about the Adhyatmavari group. Many new joined the movement, many old left, but it's part and parcel of life. A community was formed on WhatsApp and many new spiritual initiatives were launched. Many speakers including the revered Mr. Nilesh Oak spoke on the Adhyatmavari group forum. We should keep on enhancing the knowledge that we have to understand our spiritual history better. 

No matter how many people turn up or remain in the group, I think it's my duty to carry with it as long as I can. That's a यज्ञ (Yagya) that has been started due to the grace of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna and I will carry it out with my utmost capacity. 

The third topic that I have to talk about it is the Fitness routine which I could incorporate in my schedule, thanks to the grit and determination. The weight training has been a game changer and keeps me highly motivated thanks to the app called Hevy where I can log all my workouts. The progress that I have slowly made working out at home is a testament that working out need not always be in a fancy gym. If you have the will and the wish to transform yourself for a healthy and mobile aging, strength and resistance training will be the saviour. Motivating women post 40 to take up strength and resistance training has also been my focus this year.

Last but not the least, all my friends and family members who have been there with me during this wonderful time deserve a mention and an ovation. My parents were thrilled to see our beautiful house and stayed with us for some time to enjoy the nice weather and company. I could personally meet and connect more with friends who were only online and that was an absolute pleasure. I realised that I am a very boring person (have the same routine since months with no surprises or late night parties or binge watching) and there are many like me who enjoy my company, so that's not as bad as I had thought. And the two men in my life deserve a special thanks for letting me carry on with all the different activities that I do in my life and for also bearing my outburst sometimes. I am thankful for the beautiful people in my life. 

The year 2025 made a great impression on me.
It made me calmer. 
It helped me let things go easily.
It helped me realise that everything is temporary and that we are here to just play out our parts.
It made me come closer to myself, to my inner peace of mind and I love where I am today, this headspace and this tranquility. 

I am ready for 2026 and hope to make a little difference in this big world and continue with all the existing endeavours and also undertake new projects. 

Jai Shri Ram

Usually the months of August and September are devoted to the festivities involving Lord Ganesha in most parts of India. Ganesha, Ganpati, Bappa, Vighnaharta, he has many names. He is the god of beginnings, wisdom and luck and worshipped as the remover of obstacles. Although he has many attributes, he is easily identified by his elephant head and four arms. And there is a lot of symbolism involved. His elephant head denotes wisdom and intellect, his large ears for listening more and small mouth to talk less, his large stomach for peacefully digesting all the good and bad in life, his trunk symbolising high efficiency and adaptability, the mouse is a symbol of desires, if not kept under control can create havoc in life.  He is one of the most revered gods amongst the Hindus and his blessings are always sought for undertaking any new endeavour.

Adhyatmwari group came into existence in March 2023 and has been active since then, offering the spiritual seekers a variety of programs and sessions.  After operating online for two years, we thought of having the first annual get-together of the group in Karlsruhe. The date was fixed to be the 5th of July and the venue was my home. First we had thought of renting out a hall, but then decided against it, thankfully.
