kātyāyani mahā-māye | mahā-yoginy adhīśvari nanda-gopa-sutaṁ devi | patiṁ me kuru te namaḥ In an age where family, friends and relatives are only worried about my marriage, there are so many advises, proposals and discussions that need my attention. No wonder at this point in life myself and all other girls of my age go through these feelings and circumstances. There is a flood of emotions and thinking at its peak. Worries about parents, dreams, future ... almost everything about life! After having seen the struggles of friend's, relatives, colleagues to find their most suitable match, I now chose to right this blog to share my thoughts of the way I choose to find my suitable match. As always, being a mummy's daughter and a spiritual soul, heart and mind always take me back to my roots- Srimad Bhagwat to get all answers!!!  If we understand our scriptures carefully, Goddess Sita worshiped Goddess Parvati (Goddess Durga) to marry Lord Ram Goddess Rukmi

Off late I came across this fantastic video with a very beautiful message on " RELATIONSHIPS " - RELATIONSHIP- by itself is a very broader term!!!
