Dearest Radhika

We wish you a great year ahead!

This week, a friend is visiting from Bangalore, as her 75yr old mother is in ICU at a hospital very close to our home in Mumbai. I have been busy helping her and also reflecting on how life is so short and how every single moment is very precious.

My parents today shared their memory of spending Gudi Padwa with you seventeen years ago in our home in Mumbai. We watched some of the footage they had taken then – magical! We send you our blessings on this auspicious day.

At your age, I didn’t have access to the spiritual teachings of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. So, when I heard this talk that He gave about the significance of Gudi Padwa, I felt pride in our ancient traditions and felt like sharing it with you. I hope that you will enjoy this talk as well. Please do let me know your thoughts when we talk 🙂

ps: Please focus on your studies, and also don’t ignore your well-being as you go through the exciting student life at Ferguson!
