A few days ago I held the inaugural gathering of Cosmic Conversations with Vaishnavi.

We explored Jupiter’s move into Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, the Rahu/Ketu axis, mundane astrology, and a larger question I have been holding for some time:

How do we respond wisely to a world that feels uncertain, polarized, and constantly changing—without becoming reactive ourselves?

I’m sharing the recording for anyone who would like to listen.

Cosmic Conversations with Vaishnavi is a monthly online gathering exploring Vedic astrology, spiritual growth, and practical wisdom for modern life.

The next gathering will be held on the third Thursday of next month (July 16) at 6:30 PM Eastern.

If this speaks to you, I’d be glad to have you join us. Link to register in 1st comment.

Welcome to the inaugural gathering of Cosmic Conversations with Vai...

New article published: What Time Are We In? A Reflection on Karma, Clarity, and Collective Change

This is the 6th article in my discernment series, and it turns toward a question many of us may be feeling beneath the surface: What kind of time are we living through?

From a Vedic perspective, time is not only measured by dates and events. Time also carries karma, unfolding patterns, and opportunities for greater awareness. In this reflection, I explore how discernment helps us meet collective change with more clarity — not by collapsing into fear or urgency, but by learning to pause, witness, and ask what the moment is revealing.

This is one of the central practices of the Rebel Mystic™ path: staying awake to the times without losing connection to the deeper Self. Read the article here:

These are intense times. And in times like this, it becomes more important—not less—to see clearly.

Not all power is the same.
And not all responses to power are aligned.

In this reflection, I explore how power actually functions—how it differs, and why discernment is essential in understanding what we are responding to, and how.

If this resonates, you’re welcome to read here:

I’ll also be holding a Satsang on May 7—a space for reflection and returning to inner clarity.
