Monday manifestation series :Manifestation Magic: Creating Your Ideal Life Together

  Welcome to the second series of the Monday Manifest Series! It's wonderful to have you here as we continue our journey of co-creating and manifesting our dreams. In this series, we will dive deeper into the practice of manifestation and explore the power of making manifesting a collective experience. Manifestation is not just an individual endeavor; it becomes even more powerful when we come together as a community, supporting and inspiring one another along the way. By joining forces, we amplify our manifestation energy and create a space where dreams become reality. Today, I invite you to join me in harnessing the power of collective manifestation. Take a moment to reflect on the dreams and desires you have been manifesting in your own life. What are the intentions and goals you are working towards? What visions do you hold in your heart? Now, let's take this journey of manifestation together. In the comments section below, I encourage you to share what you are currently...

Vesak festival.

 Lord buddha's birthday is celebrated on the days 26th of month of may.


It is a special and a holy day for Buddhists and celebrated grandly in most of Asian countries, including china, Burma, nepal, Thailand and Sri Lanka etc. There is a special story regarding this holy day. It is the story of prince siddhartha Gauthama which is obviously fascinating. A link will be shared at the end of this post about prince siddhartha (lord budha).

Festival vesak(lord buddha's birthday and his enlightenment )  is celebrated grandly. 

Here, in sri lanka, you can see that every street would be decorated with fairy lights, lanterns hanging from each and every tree, big pandols created with glowing lights which convey an ancient morality stories with pictures, craft exhibitions related to vesak lanterns stage dramas performed on every main road and oil lamps ligted everywhere. Gas lanterns are sent to the sky .



At night people would storm down the streets to watch these splendid decorations and the big lanterns which are kept in exhibition on sides of the road. Some People get together and sponsor for free food for everybody who passes by the streets. These type of free distribution would be throughout the streets. Some may distribute ice cream while some may do drinks, like wise their would be lots of food varities. You can help yourself as much as you want. Nobody would say anything. It is really fun to stay in queue and get free icecream. Many people, rich or poor would participate. Theres no cast and creed considered to engage in these activities. Either you are rich or you are poor, it doesnt matter which religion your coming from, you can participate and share happiness and enjoy this day. Everybody is treated equally.



Not only the roads, all the house are decorated too. Decorative lights would hang down from the roof and balconies. Handmade lanterns made by children would be hanging in roof. Trees filled with bulbs and lanterns buckets. Oil lamps lit all around the garden.


 
People go to temple to worship.

It gives cozy and inspiring vibes to watch these. I love this beautiful day. 

Unfortunately, we could not celebrate vesak this time due to the pendamic. Safety comes first. People storming on the streets at a time like this is definitely not a good idea. Thats a reason because the government had summoned for a lockdown these days throughout the island. 

Hope everything would be hundred percent fine for next years vesak.

Until that wear mask, stay home and stay safe.

THANK YOU FOR READING.

The Colorful History of Growing With Grandparents

How much of you all have taken time to spend at least a little time with your grandparents? Still, if you haven't, do it! Don't have regrets later. My grandparents are no more! But their memories live within us. Growing up with grandparents When my brothers and I were kids, we used to sit and listen to our grandparents flashbacks. The most asked story was about their love story. I still remember the smile on her face whenever we bring the topic. It was a love marriage. My grandma says, " he fell in love with me because of my beautiful long hair ". It was true indeed. Even in her  Late seventies, she had silver, thick, long, healthy hair. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit her healthy hair on the contrary, I'm lucky enough that I am gifted with all her talents. She used to say, that she worked in my grandfather's workshop for a while and that is how they found love. There were no objections among them, although both of them were from differe...

The early morning hours provide a unique opportunity to connect with nature and experience a profound sense of peace. In this blog post, we will explore the beauty and tranquility that can be found in the embrace of nature during the early morning hours. There's something truly enchanting about waking up early and stepping outside to witness the world awaken.

It's during this time that nature unveils its true beauty, offering a respite from the noise and chaos of daily life. The early morning hours provide a sense of solitude and calmness that is hard to replicate at any other time of day. With fewer people around and the world still in slumber, you can immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature ...

She believed, she could so she did it.

              "She believed,She could So she did it" Women being underestimated is common. Men don't know what women are capable of. I bet, women are mentally strong more than you guys think. Women burden the most painful moment in life, which is giving birth. Dear men, you might be physically strong than a women but that doesn't mean that women are weak. Look what inspired me so much. I'm a lord of the rings fan. It's a world famous trilogy. I hope you have already watched.  I first watched it when I was around seven or eight years. And then I watched the trilogy recently. I realized alot of things watching it as an adult. Mostly the POWER OF WOMEN!       ÉOWYN. she is the Noble women of Rohan who calls herself a shield maiden. She is very good with sword fighting. She never feared for death or pain. She and her brother were brought up under the care of her uncle, king of Rohan, Théoden as his ow...
