Learning from Experts

When I was younger, my Nani taught me a lesson that has stayed with me through the years – the lesson of staying silent in difficult situations. I remember one day I poured out my frustrations, about a disagreement I was having with someone, to my Nani. I was upset and wanted to retaliate, to speak my mind and defend myself. After I finished venting, she finally spoke. "Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words." Nani explained that staying silent doesn't always mean weakness; it can be a sign of strength and maturity. By holding our tongues, we give ourselves time to process our emotions, to reflect on the situation without reacting impulsively. As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the power of silence in navigating life's challenges. Whether it's dealing with disagreements, facing criticism, or handling difficult circumstances, I remember Nani's lesson and strive to stay calm and composed. Thanks to Nani's guidance, I've discovered that silence isn't a sign of weakness; it's a tool for understanding, empathy, and resilience.

Whenever I think of anything I learned from my family, I remember learning how to do my pooja, you see my mom and dad would do there pooja every day!So, I watched them and learned, my mom and dad taught me how to do Mala, pradakshina, and so on, now, they also told me not do eat or drink before doing pooja, when I was two I started pooja and I am eleven. When anyone goes away Swamishri won't, so we can pay him respects by doing pooja!
