Even though I was born with the proverbial silver spoon in my mouth, my father instilled in me the quest for the eternal rather than the material. Anju Modi (TOI Image)
He took me to the Kumbh Mela when I was five years old and subsequently, to all the 12 Jyotir Linga and Char Dhams. It was then that my bond with the Almighty was established.
I got to know the Almighty, for which one has to strive hard with dogged determination. He reveals Himself to you, slowly. I was attracted to Lord Krishna for his wisdom, intellect and human nature. I believe that to know God you don’t have to be an intellectual. You can gain Him through simple devotion.
During my quest of spiritualism, I questioned the scientific reasons behind most Hindu rituals and traditions. For example, I was amazed to know that the Swastika brings 10 lakh ions of positive energy into the place it’s put; no wonder people put Swastikas in front of their business establishments and residences! Only in a positive ambience can one work in a positive frame of mind.
My mother was a very spiritual lady and my spiritual inclination came from her. Again, when I got married into the Poddar family in Kolkata, it was the same spiritual atmosphere there. My mother-in-law was like a spiritual mentor in my life, from whom I learnt how to please the Lord.
Mornings are the best time for a creative person. This is time to be one with God. Brahma Muhurt has a lot of significance in my life. This is the time to be with nature… time to get inspired. Source
