Tied the knot!

Oh and I am married now!
Prema Sa'gar and I tied the knot. It was the best wedding I have been to! Over a hundred people singing 'Baba Nam Kevalam,' a spiritual mantra that means, 'Everything is an expression of one infinite loving Consciousness.'

It feels kind of strange, yet utterly normal at the same time.

That's it, we've got each other for life!

We are off on our honeymoon to Israel and India in less than a week...it's gonna be quite an adventure.

Illustrations etc.

I haven't been very active on Roshniisphere recently as my inspiration swept me in the direction of the Dharmasphere, so that is where my blogging energy has been going. Plus, I have been getting into putting my illustrations on to Flickr, where I have created my own Illustrations set.

Above is one of my recent endeavours called "Embrace." It is one of a number of drawings I did for my children's poem/story called "Ruby and the star."

I even got round to submitting a couple of my illustrations to Illustration Friday, which I was very happy about, as it puts them on a worldwide map of artists who connect there.

Creative Inspiration

I was surfing on Flickr the other night and stumbled across various groups like this one,where people have submitted artwork, rather than photos.

Seeing all the wonderful creativity that is being tapped into around the globe is truly inspiring to me as an aspiring musician and an amateur drawer and painter.

I want to spend more time being creative!
The feeling I get when I write a new song is very subtle and beautiful. It makes me feel alive to bring formless ideas from my consciousness and give them form. Just as the Creator does with the mighty canvas of the universe.

Walking the path together

On 26th July, 2005, as we were seated on a sun-blushed grassy hill, overlooking a dense pine forest, Premasagar looked into my eyes with a piercing gaze and asked me to marry him.

I said yes. I kind of knew it was coming, I just didn't know when.

Two and a half months later and the wedding day (5th November) is fast approaching.

It sounds strange, but these days, when people see freedom and commitment as a far cry from each other, I feel like a revolutionary deciding to marry in my early twenties.

Prem and I have known each other for nearly 4 years. We met at a meditation retreat in the Peak District and over the years our friendship has become ever stronger.

Spirituality is at the core of our life together. I feel that when we take the marriage oaths on our wedding day we will be entering into a powerful partnership. A partnership in which we are both striving to feel more and more strongly our connection with the Supreme and to move human society towards realising its true potential. This is our dharma, the essence that guides us as we walk the path together.

Flickr flow

For 4 months now I have been lying dormant in terms of Flickr activity, but the time has arrived to revive myself.

I have started by posting a couple of pics I took in August this year (well, it takes a bit of time to wake up!) Premasagar and I had just returned from a spiritual gathering in Germany, where we had decided to get married. We were both on a high after taking this life shifting decision.

I will write more about marriage in a separate post, as I feel it deserves a space of its own.
