I learnt from my grandmother how we can live from a spiritual centeredness in the midst of all that we still have to do and handle in life. I got to experience this first hand when I visited her in Sri Lanka at age of 11...she making fresh garlands herself from the flowers she picked from the garden, reciting mantras, visiting the temple, attending bhajans, doing seva, telling me stories from the puranas...and while also attending to the household needs, visiting friends and relatives and making sure I had fun...all this with equal attentiveness and alacrity!
