In Shiva’s Hands, I Let Go – A Maha Shivaratri Reflection

A lone figure sits in deep meditation under a massive ancient tree at night, bathed in moonlight. In the distant sky, a cosmic image of Lord Shiva forms from stars and mist, symbolizing divine presence and surrender. The atmosphere is serene, evoking a sense of faith, trust, and inner peace.
Some things are beyond me, but never beyond Shiva. Tonight, I leave my hopes, doubts, and prayers in his hands. In surrender, I find peace. Har Har Mahadev.

The Weight of What We Cannot Control

There comes a time in life when we realize that no matter how hard we try, some things remain beyond our grasp. Love, destiny, relationships, and unanswered prayers, they all slip through our fingers like sand. 

We hold on, we hope, we fight, yet sometimes, all we can do is surrender.

Today, on the sacred night of Maha Shivaratri, I choose to do just that. Not just in tradition, but in spirit, I fast, I reflect, and I leave everything in Shiva’s hands.

Why I Chose to Fast on Maha Shivaratri

Many observe fasting today to honor Lord Shiva. Some seek blessings, some pray for love, success, or salvation. But my fast is different. It is not for wishes or rewards. It is my way of stepping back from everything I cannot control.

I began my fast at 11:08 AM today, and it will end at 8:54 AM tomorrow. But beyond food, this is a fast from attachment, from expectations, from forcing things that are not meant to be.

Letting Go: A Prayer to Shiva

As I sit in silence tonight, I realize that this is not about losing, but about trusting. About believing that if something is truly meant for me, it will come back in its own time. And if not, I will have the strength to move forward.
I have nothing to ask, nothing to hold.
Everything drifts beyond my hands.
So, I leave it all to you, my Shiva
My hopes, my doubts, my unspoken prayers.
If it's meant to be, let it find me.
If not, give me the strength to walk alone.

The Power of Surrendering to Shiva

Letting go does not mean giving up. It means understanding that some battles are not ours to fight. It means trusting that Shiva knows what is best, even when we don’t. This Maha Shivaratri, I am not asking for answers. I am asking for peace.

As I complete my fast, I will carry this lesson with me, not just today, but always. Whatever is beyond me, I leave to Shiva. Har Har Mahadev.

Finding Strength in Faith

This night is a reminder that faith is not about demanding answers, but about walking forward even when we don’t have them. Shiva is not just a god; he is a way of life, a symbol of strength in surrender.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, try letting go. Not as an act of weakness, but as an act of trust. You might just find the peace you’ve been searching for.

The Magic of Her Eyes and the Calm She Brings to My World

  The Smile She Brings Her Magic, My Calm The magic in your eyes lights up my world,  Your words bring warmth and calm. You balance life with grace and adventure,  Making everything seem effortless. When you're with me, nothing else exists,  Just my smile for you, my heartbeat's rhythm,  And the joy you bring to my soul. You are my calm, my melody, my love. - @Satyaharishchandraa There’s a magic in her eyes that’s hard to describe. They’re not just eyes, they hold emotions, stories, and a spark that pulls me in every time she looks at me. The way she talks? It’s effortless, calming, and always just what I need to hear. Whether she’s cracking jokes or discussing something serious, her words carry a warmth that stays with me long after the conversation ends. What amazes me the most is how she balances her world. Family, friends, work, and her adventurous life, she juggles it all so gracefully. She is childish in small moments of celebration, bringing joy and laugh...

Life : Where Home Feels Like Nature, and Nature Feels Like Home

Home - Address of Happiness  Home - Address of Happiness Where trees dance and calm winds play,Life blossoms in the simplest way.With a playful dog and a curious cat at bay. No city's rush, no crowded street,Can match the peace where earth and heart meet . - @Satyaharishchandraa When I think about happiness and peace, my mind instantly drifts to our farmhouse. Nestled amidst rows of coconut and areca trees, it’s a place where time seems to slow down, and the beauty of nature takes center stage. Our farmhouse is home to three cows, a buffalo, a playful dog, and a curious cat. These animals aren't just part of the scenery, they are part of our family. Their presence brings warmth and life to the surroundings. Mornings here are magical. The cool breeze rustling through the trees, the soft mooing of cows, and the chirping of birds create a symphony that city life could never replicate. The earthy smell of freshly plowed soil and the sight of sunlight filtering through leaves make e...

Life in Bengaluru: Stories from a 6 KM Journey

Life in Bengaluru Bengaluru's Rhythm On my ride through the busy street, Couples, parents, all I meet. Buses full, faces tired, Lovers lost, in love inspired. Old ones selling to survive, Transgender voices, staying alive. Cars honk, engines roar, But flowers bloom beneath the floor, Amidst the dust, they stand and soar. In the rush, life moves on, Every face tells a story, drawn. - @Satyaharishchandraa Every morning, I ride my Xpulse through the bustling streets of Bengaluru. It’s a short distance, just 6 kilometers, but the journey takes nearly 30 minutes due to the infamous city traffic. Yet, in those 30 minutes, I witness countless stories unfolding around me, a reflection of the city’s heartbeat. I see young couples on bikes or in cars, heading to work. They talk, laugh, or simply enjoy each other’s company, ignoring the chaos of the road. Parents hurry to drop their children at school, managing time between family and work. At bus stops, people stand in long lines, waiting fo...
