Become Your Own Influence

Q: Thank you for joining us. You're a social media influencer. How did it all start for you?

I started posting on Instagram three years ago and I now have around 400,000 followers. It started with some of my acting projects, then I started releasing music, mostly covers of Hindi and English songs. Then, after meeting Daaji, I became obsessed with writing music.

I asked Daaji about artists producing content. He told me that when anybody in the artistic field is working on something, they should have a purpose in mind, so as to create something with meaning. That's when I started writing music. I wanted to dive deeper into life, so I started writing music that was more spiritual.

Q: This is your second visit to Kanha; you must have noticed the transformation from your last visit. What has pulled you back here?

Definitely Daaji, and also everyone who makes Daaji who he is. The volunteers, the people I've been meeting here, embody that essence of Heartfulness, which is love, right?

Daaji touched my heart when I first met him, when we did a podcast together. I didn't come with any expectations, but he put me in a state of pure bliss. It was so amazing just talking to him. My first question was about love. He said it was a very big question, and we went into many different areas that opened my heart. I remember thinking, "What's the point of being an artist? Is it just to produce content for entertainment, or is it also to have an impact on people, on society-to put something out there that can bring change?" Since then, so many emotions have overflowed. The second I entered Kanha again, I was blown away with all the love and positive energy. Meditation got me in such a great state.

How Does Fear Affect Our Roles as Mothers? - Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda

Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda, and realizes the importance of removing fear from our hearts in order to nurture our children.For young women like myself, who are future mothers, I trust we are on the path of becoming selfaware and brutally honest with ourselves. We are creative beings, never forgetting the gifts with which we have been bestowed— the love and tenderness, natural instincts, and intuition to feel the right path. It all lies in the mysterious meanderings of the heart. Are we really listening to our hearts, or confusing the bombarding information on social media with reality?
