Understanding of GodGod for me is someone with whom I can share my happiness, my worries and all those emotions which I alone can feel. He can understand and has an answer. God is someone on whom I can rely when I’m feeling indecisive. He is one from whom I can ask what I need and be assured of guidance always. God, for me, is that cosmic energy which is responsible for this creation and for me being here, not to mention the existence of everything else around me. It is that energy that protects and guides every moment.Spiritual beliefsI remember watching The Secret back in 2005. It was then that I learnt about how one’s thoughts manifest into reality and at any point are the most powerful sources of energy. And it worked for me. When I was abroad a few years ago, the most important thing for me as a parent was to spend more time with my son who was in Chennai. So, I put a picture of the two of us together on my desk just to keep reminding myself of what I wanted, and shortly after, things just fell into place and I got an opportunity to move back home.Spiritual practicesI practice Vipassana which is a form of meditation.This practice necessarily does not involve closing eyes and sitting in a particular posture. It is being aware of one's thoughts and actions every moment.It can be practised while eating, reading, cleaning or any doing any other task.Pilgrimage sitesI would like to visit Dharmashala in Himachal and spend a couple of months there. My visit to Rishikesh and Haridwar is among one of my most memorable trips. The ‘Ganga Aarti’ which is performed on the banks of the river Ganga near Paramarth Niketan is something that I long to experience again. I have had a couple of miraculous experiences while working in Canada. (Anuradha Mathad is an Ayurvedic doctor and the Director of the Spa at the Park Hotel.)
