VedAnt :)

Life can appear so profound and yet be so simple. So mysterious, yet decodable. So random, yet self-explicative. I have always been inclined towards spirituality. The fundamental question of “WHO AM I?” has been my food for thought over the years. Accompanying this question are the many, “WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?”, “WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?” and “WHAT IS KARMA?” I did manage to find some answers courtesy Google, The Speaking Tree Section of The Times of India and some other good books. But, these learnings never managed to create a lasting impact. Justifiable in their own right, they still left me yearning for more.

My encounters with grief, pain and loss so very UP CLOSE and PERSONAL at a rather young stage in life, did make me quite a thinker. It made me look for something to whet my seeking appetite. Till I got back in touch with an old online friend-Prashant Parikh.

Prashant to me was like the many friends you have in your friends list on a messenger. Those people you knew once upon a time. Those people you haven’t spoken to in years. Those people with whom the conversation never goes beyond the ‘Hey Wassup?’ cliché.

I don’t know who started the conversation one Saturday afternoon. I don’t know why. I don’t know how. All I know is that I am very glad. Prashant has introduced me to VedAnt. With no strings attached and no expectations, he has been a sort of a teacher to me. A teacher who always answers each and every doubt no matter what the time is, what the situation is and what the question is. And the best part is that it all so lucid and practical. And when the ignorance is replaced with knowledge, things become clearer.

Life is simple :) And for me, VedAnt is the reason why.

Thanks PrashantJi :)
