Dream destinations, travel luck on cards! Connecting with self and the wait..to get clarity focus and direction. yes, everyone needs to stand back and view life, goals, relationships and each sector of your life . All this cannot be done with the hectic schedules, going on and on..you have to take a step back. Travel not only brings joy and connecting with family experiences, you open to yourself a whole world of people, food and cultures!

While I wrote a few years back by connecting with an Awesum manager who published for inflight magazines, little did I know life will begin happening!
 |
| Amritsar Golden temple |
About Amritsar Golden Temple, a world famous Sikh religious place that is visited by all religions and from people all over the world. Not only is this a masterpiece of architecture, it is fully loaded with spiritual vibes and once visited you will never be the same! While there are rituals strictly to be followed, like the last year visited Ajmer Sharif and Jaipur Udaipur. where head was covered before entering the Sufi saint shrine.

The Golden temple is so beautiful, you will be mesmerized by its beauty at the first glance. All words stop, your brain stops, you just stare with soul connecting. Washing feet, warm water is poured continuously as people from all walks of life go about in thousands entering since dawn, the Golden temple. Feet washed, and head covered.
Looking at large groups of people from all sects of life entering, they lined up for the Langar food. the world famous Langar food is healthy and provided free unlimited for all people, three times a day. Sri Harmandir Sahib, Darbar Sahib, the drivers of Rickshaws and vehicles are so full of love and very helpful, guide you about the history of the Saint and how the intention of no one going hungry led the Saint leader to open up a Langar supplying food to needy and all that who came at the temple.

| Langar at Amritsar Golden temple |
Eating the Langar food at Golden temple experience- When we sit in Air conditioned tables looking at the bland minimalist cuisines that cost thousands, and then come out... here we stood in line with empty cleaned plates, bowl and spoon. The most humbling experience of soul getting down to basic. The ego goes away on a trip as you look around you. Sometimes questioning what you are doing here...but going with the flow...as plan of the Universe. There are newly wedded brides shy, with red chudas in hands(red bangle sets) with family.little children, new born, students, old people, some with walkers, some with disabilities, some right from the road beggars, and sick and it was a mix of people bringing you to the hard fact of being human. Compassion, empathy, and food on your plate.
Its considered prasad and as the driver mentioned not all get to the place or eat the food. only those destined! Food is not to be wasted and took as spiritual blessing from God. The system of supplying and serving food to thousands and lakhs of people every day, is amazing at the planning,, and efficiency of the volunteers.

In my life surrounded by only closest family and plants and birds, some contact with neighbors and relatives not so often, it was a spiritual awakening experience. Trust me, you will never be the same!
My life is changing, as people are from all sects of life coming in my life in ways unknown to human brain! Thank you Universe for bringing experiences in my life that are beneficial for my spiritual growth and being.
As if a thousand petaled lotus is blooming gradually so is my life unfolding beautifully. The inner chaos though not gone, but is silenced for the time when around people. Trusting the laws of the Universe, full of Gratitude!
Next destination soon!

All the Best from Rizwana!
Making spiritual healing art, and visiting soul destinations. meanwhile on my art front a bit of quiet..focussing on making my entryway and window sill garden with great feng shuii in our new space. as the collections of paintings have gone from hundreds to thousands and even after three time tearing old paper paintings since past years, yet so many of the examples of obsessively painted artworks remain. There is a lot of new sheets and card papers, waiting for the signal from the Universe! The urge to create has to be still, to focus, to get clarity and then to proceed. Once begun its difficult to stop painting! The fact that who likes, who buys, who comments does not matter, only that I have to make healing art and those the Universe chooses will find me! Feng shuii is Amazing and the combination with Reiki , power packed pieces of lines, colours and pure energy!! Art that heals!
If you connect with my energy and symbols, trust the power of my wall art, and would like to buy my healing paintings visit my website www.razarts.com
