In a world where everyone has an opinion - I offer one perspective.
Unfiltered, Lived and Free
A space for seekers to explore manifestation, spirituality, and Vedic astrological insight through reflection and personal stories. These are my lived experiences — an opinion of one — and they may not resonate with everyone. But that’s the beauty of truth: while we are all one, we are each distinct in how we experience it.Here, I explore how manifestation, spirituality, and astrology interconnect — each shaping and reflecting the other in the journey toward self-realization.
My take on spirituality - I didn't learn it, I realized it.
It's my truth.
Spirituality is the belief in a higher power - an intelligence far beyond our own. That power is called God ( like I do), Universe or Infinity or by any name that represents the power. Some even say that that power rests with aliens - that's fine, but then that may alter our typical definition of the word alien.Why? Well, the higher power isn't a stranger at all - They are known to us - intimately. They reside within us.We are told that we are spiritual beings that are having a human experience. That spiritual being is the higher power, and the human experience is the version of us that we think we know intimately. That is the form that is given an identity. The former (the higher self) is the Soul, and the latter ( the human self) is the Ego. Maybe - an alien resides within us - that wont shock me one bit.The soul never dies; the ego does. The body belongs to the ego, the mind belongs to the soul - so essentially the soul is outside of our body. Can we then say that the ego or the human self is just an avatar? It's not really what defines us - it is a cloak we wear to "fit in" to society.Why do we ( the ego body) need to "talk" to the soul? Just like our body needs care and nourishment, it also needs the soul energy to thrive in the world. Can we live without the mind? No. Can we live just with the body? No. So we need to connect the mind to the body - the soul to the ego.But does the ego have no mind at all? Well they do - which is by design. Without that voice, we can't thrive in this world. That voice knows the day to day human world like no other - that mind helps us acquire material objects that indicates the level of satisfaction that we desire in this human life. Therefore, the ego mind is limited to this life time.The soul mind - that is the Governor. That mind spreads across lifetimes and the only purpose of that mind is for our highest good - long time satisfaction not transient, ephemeral desires. That's supersedes the ego mind.Therefore, that belief in the higher power - the soul mind - is what gives us peace and contentment. It's akin to the comfort food, a soft bed, a heartfelt music - that we crave for at the end of a long arduous day.
I live by this | My understanding evolves, but the practice is constant.
Manifestation is an expression of desire — a desire for how we wish to live our lives. It’s a blueprint of what we want the Higher Self (Spirit, God, Universe) to grant us. Because the Higher Self exists in spirit, not form, we must articulate our desires through the right channels.We communicate with spirit through our minds — through thought. We think constantly, but focused thought — especially through meditation — has worked best for me.That said, I’ve manifested everything I’ve ever wanted in life. Unfortunately, I’ve also manifested things I didn’t want.When I ask you not to think of a pink elephant, what appears first? The pink elephant. That’s a thought. And if you keep telling yourself not to think of something, you might just manifest it anyway — as I’ve done. Manifestation simply follows where our mental energy goes, whether positive or negative.During meditation, we can direct that energy consciously toward what we want. That’s how I’ve manifested dream jobs, a home, relationships. By “thought,” I mean the visual image of what we truly desire. It happens naturally — when we want a car, we picture one; when we want wealth, we see a lifestyle. Meditation simply strengthens that mental image with focused energy.What’s not so easy — besides staying positive — is patience. Manifestations can take days or years.For our desires to materialize in the physical world, the universe must apply logic. A sequence of events has to unfold, and some may require our action. Only then can the manifested reality truly become ours.Manifestation is not magic; it’s partnership.

The knowledge is vast; discernment is key.
Astrology is a blueprint of the soul — encoded within it is our soul’s purpose. Yet deciphering the deeper meaning of planetary positions, dashas, and yogas can be overwhelming. Careful interpretation and discernment are essential.If your soul’s purpose is to serve others, asking the Higher Self (Spirit) to manifest a billion dollars might be tricky. Not because you don’t deserve it, but because the real question is whether that pursuit would deepen your purpose — or distract you from it. When our desires drift too far from our soul’s blueprint, we may still receive them, but they often feel hollow or fleeting.Understanding the nuances of the soul’s purpose helps us manifest what aligns with that purpose — drawing harmony between what we want and what our soul wants for us.Astrology can also hint at when certain desires may manifest — not as exact dates or years, but as periods when the energetic climate is favorable. For example, a Jupiter period might bring expansion and opportunity, while a Saturn period could demand patience and discipline before rewards appear. Both are auspicious — just in different ways.Over time, I’ve found the Vedic system particularly insightful in revealing these timing patterns.Why Vedic and not Western astrology? It isn’t one or the other; both offer value. Personally, I lean toward the Vedic system. Last month, I transitioned out of Rahu Mahadasha — arguably the most intense of all dashas. It wasn’t easy, and I found my experience matched what the texts describe. Western astrology doesn’t account for dashas, which is one reason I gravitate toward Vedic interpretations.Ultimately, astrology is a tool — a mirror to understand ourselves and our soul’s purpose. Its accuracy depends on interpretation, and that interpretation is often validated through lived experience.Astrology doesn’t predict — it reveals. The chart is not our fate, but our fingerprint.
I coined this technique
But - I practice it daily - and it works
MESA – Manifestation Embracing Spirituality and (vedic) Astrology. This is the technique that I use to manifest anything I want in my life.Spirituality connects us to the Higher Self, astrology reveals our soul's blueprint, and manifestation is how we co-create with both.Manifestation is the expression of desire — to whom? To the Spirit or Higher Self — using Vedic astrology as a guidepost. One may ask if manifestation is possible without the other two components. I'm certain it's possible — I can’t see any reason why the universe wouldn’t deliver what we want. However, to me it appears that I don’t know who is making my dreams come true, who is orchestrating the manifestation of my desires. To some it may not matter, while to others it is the “self” who is delivering what we desire. One works hard and makes their dreams come true. I would say, if that is how the life of someone has unfolded, in which effort has consistently equaled reward, then it’s justified to manifest without engaging with the Higher Self.For me, that hasn’t been the case. My efforts (only my opinion) have exceeded severalfold the rewards that I have gotten. Spirituality has helped me separate out the relationship between efforts and rewards — the causation cycle. It has helped me appreciate the journey rather than get bogged down by expectations. It’s made me believe in the Higher Self — my soul, who is working with me to deliver what is best for me, what I deeply desire.Now comes the question of time — when do manifestations materialize? That’s where astrology has a role to play. Or at least it has played a role in my manifestations. Particularly the dashas. In Vedic astrology, a dasha is a planetary period that indicates the timing of life events by cycling through a series of planetary rulers. These dashas indicate the periods that are auspicious for manifestations. Does it guarantee that the manifestations will materialize in a given period? No (sadly). But it’s a good indicator.That said, I have manifested a lot during Rahu Mahadasha — which is known to be a challenging period. However, whatever I manifested during that period was either met with disappointment (they just didn’t bring an iota of fulfillment or enjoyment) or was taken away no sooner than it manifested (relocated to a preferred city only to return within three months — again due to lack of fulfillment). Looking back, those manifestations weren't aligned with what my chart suggested for that period - I was forcing outcomes instead of working with the energetic flow.So there you go — manifestation embracing spirituality and astrology. I feel it's a more holistic technique to attract the right things to our lives at the right time. If you're manifesting but feeling unfulfilled, MESA might help you understand why - and recalibrate.MESA reminds us that creation isn’t control — it’s collaboration.
It's more like free chatting
I am no guru or expert - but I know stuff - practical stuff
Knowledge is perhaps energy — and like energy, it needs to flow. I have the knowledge of how the MESA technique works — at least how it has worked for me thus far. This is a humble way for me to share that knowledge in a practical way, preferably on a 1:1 basis.Why free? As I said before, I’m no guru or an expert. But I know what I’m talking about. I can’t guarantee results, I can’t predict your future, and I’m not a certified Vedic astrologer. But I can set you up for success — you’ll have the tools and techniques that have worked for me (multiple times).I believe in positivity and in emitting positive energy to my clients, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask for the same energy in return. There will be an option to donate — 100% optional — as a way to keep the money energy flowing. Even $1 keeps that energy in motion.Typical Process (exceptions do apply):
1. I obtain the date of birth of the individual. Time and place of birth are critical, as they determine the dasha periods. Without a birth time, it’s possible to calculate a range of periods but not be specific.
2. Draw a soul blueprint (based on the Vedic birth chart) and schedule the first 45-minute meeting.
3. On the call, discuss the soul blueprint, critical timelines, and understand the individual’s specific manifestation needs — followed by practical tips leveraging the MESA technique.
4. Ongoing regular calls or touch bases — open discussions to ensure successful manifestation of desires (but no guarantee offered).There’s nothing to lose here — except perhaps time. But then, some argue that time itself is a material construct.For me, beyond sharing knowledge, it’s about getting to know a stranger who shares the same consciousness — and learning a thing or two in the process.It’s a win–win situation as far as I can see.To book, please complete the form and I will get back to you at the earliest.

Why do I see three of me?
One on a raft, adrift at sea
One in a temple, praying to Thee
One in this realm, yearning to be freeThe soul rides the raft - still, yet moving
The Lord dwells in the shrine - silent, yet soothing
And I sit in this chair - restless, yet healingAm I truly all the three at once?
Floating, praying, aching at every pulse?
Let there be - just me
Let there be unbounded, limitless gleeBut what of the waves and the temple’s chill?
What of the joy that flickers, yet cannot stay still?
Let all of that live in me
Let me be all threeLet the warmth of the temple soften the tides
Let the hush of the sea calm the temple’s sides
Let the solitude within still the turbulent rides
Let there be balance - at every moment, on every stride.
Nothing is broken
Nothing is rotten
Nothing is rough
Nothing is flawed
Nothing is lost
Nothing has gone awry
Nothing needs unraveling
Because
Everything is nothing
Everything is air
Everything is a particle
Everything is a figment of imagination
Everything is ours, yet
Nothing is ours
Everything is a lotus in the mud
Everything is a diamond in the mine
Nothing is empty in the mind
Nothing is permanent in the mind
Everything is a moment
A moment is a drop in an ocean
Nothing is a drop in an ocean
I am the luckiest soul in this wild malarkey
Not for what I possess or for all I have won,
But for finding the place deep inside me
Where bliss is not earned, and needs no race to run.I walk through this world with a crown none can see.
I carry a light no shadow can dim.
My soul walks beside me, steady and free
Not above, not behind, but my closest within.This inner realm keeps me whole and warm.
It is sacred. It is sovereign. It is mine.
No fear, no shame, no outer storm
Can touch or tarnish its steady shine.I give thanks for this grace I’m holding
More than for breath, more than for birth.
I’m grateful for the quiet unfolding:
This world within me, rooted in Earth.May I honor it in each step I take.
May I remember, though the world forgets.
May I live as the king I was born to be
But only in the world my soul begets.
The soul dreams of a human life
Sitting in the vast empty space
A life that is not without strife
But a life that is lived with graceThe players in the dream know not the soul
It sees life as a period in-between
Only to realize they are only but players with a transient goal
The period is nothing more than a pattern on a wooden beam.The dreamer is still, spaces move around
The player is restless, always on the move
But when the dream finds stillness on the ground
The dreamer and the dream find the silent grooveThe silence attunes the player to the dream
The dream listens, guided by the soul
The soul whispers - the purpose behind life’s scream
The player quietens but remains - to live the human life, in its whole.
Why do I find myself in a prison of freedom,
Where shackles and chains don’t belong?
I am free - free to rule my kingdom,
With no defiance, no resistance - just to sing my song.Freedom is earned; it is sacred.
It’s always been with me, not hiding but in full display.
Yet I feel enslaved - unable to shake the dread.
I stand torn: to be free, or remain consumed by life’s fray.Why have I given the keys to my shackles to others,
When they are but phantoms of the mind?
Why do I await permission from my brothers,
When the freedom I seek has never been confined?I know not how to live a life free of strife,
Amidst the tempests of the sea, unaligned.
To become a child again — before they placed my shackles and shaped my life.
Little did I know, I always had the key — buried deep within the tangle of my mind.Now I open the shackles and the chains, hesitant in every move.
Will there be rainbows and unicorns at my call?
I am greeted with stillness and silence - where I have nothing to prove.
No rainbows, no unicorns - only light, soft and subtle, a gentle waterfall.
I am the dew on the petal of a red rose
I am the ray of the sun fallen on the bare wall
I am the ripple on the river that joins the flows
I am the leaf drifting through the fallI am the light that no one can see
I am the shadow that no one can spot
I am the aroma of the morning coffee
I am the flavor in the stirring potI am everywhere, but no one notices
I am nothing, yet I am all there is
I am not in the mirror where everyone focuses
I am not in the joys and the lows within the layers of the abyssI am everything, yet I don’t ever exist
I am not the body or the child or the brother
I am but stillness in the worldly mist
I am only a dream - and that’s enough to wonder.
Surrender is stillness
It’s the silent conversation with the Divine -
The moment when the mind rests
When wisdom emerges, brighter than sunshine.It is to remember that His grace awaits embrace,
A moment when the shared world quietens,
And the world that’s only mine fills our space -
Though not without tussling with the constant chatter and irrelevance.Even in the tussle - bloom roses and rainbows,
Arriving not in waves, but in moments -
Yet enough to soothe our lowest lows,
As the flower brightens, releasing its sweetest scents.We ask not for roses and rainbows, but an ear for our fears
We ask for answers when all our toil yields none,
We ask to be heard when our words fall on unkind ears,
We ask for a warm embrace when our vigor is done.The answers seldom come in the moment we cry for aid,
But in quiet moments - after days, weeks, or more.
Profound wisdom makes the mind’s noise fade;
In stillness, we discern the voice from the uproar.
