This journey has started in 2012, when I was moved out of my home, friends, for a better career, in to the Mumbai
Initially it was a quite rough & hectic to survive in Mumbai suburbs, but after a few months the city that never sleeps had excepted me without any conditions,
Yet I was still struggling for adjustment in to a new culture, it was no easy to adept a new surrounding near yourself, when your language & culture is different, but it was passing with the time,
One evening I was wondering how people had survived this organised chaos of surviving,
But then I saw & heard something that really touch my heart,
It was a Ganesha chaturthi when people bring Lord Ganesha home, & for couple of days worshiped him & welcoming his arrival & asking for his blessing,
A couple & much younger child had carried a Idol of Lord Ganesha in their small cart, although it was raining that day but they don't care about any thing
They was keep saying,
गणपती बाप्पा मोरया
मंगलमूर्ति मोरया,
I don't understand how the people has devoted themselves to a god or idol in a very unexceptional way,
I am an engineer i was not quite a good at temple going ritual i except the god as a entity, the almighty who runs the whole world,
But a after a few years lived in a western life style mantra " work ,Earn, Enjoy" it was too much at a point, i was felling empty, neglected & so much heavy around myself, i was kind of trapped inside me, & this was going on for a quite long time,
Till that day my friend came in the morning & asked me if I can join him to pay a visit to a local temple of lord Ganesha called as "The Siddhi vinayak"
I went to the temple & spent almost a hour that day, after that I was felling a little different, but peacefully inside, energetic, blessed, a words can't describe that feeling, that's what I called a spiritual investment,
After that I am going regularly once a week to ask blessing of my lord, & now days it became & part of my life,
That is a part of our culture, we see things differently, not rationally as western,
Before this i was not participating in any from of puja or ritual in any way near around me,
But now I see things differently & without any hesitation i can cheer for my lord ,
This is a my transformation from a west inspired rationally thinking person to a spiritual thinker,
