Raw And Real with Sakshi

There comes a strange stage in life that no one really prepares you for. It’s the stage where you finally have everything you once prayed for. The goals you worked hard for . The small wins that turned into big achievements. The life you imagined during your difficult days. From the outside, everything looks perfect. But inside… something feels missing. And the worst part? You don’t even know what it is. The Confusing Kind of Emptiness You wake up, go through your routine, talk to people, maybe even smile and laugh. But deep down, there’s this quiet feeling that never leaves. It’s not sadness exactly. It’s not failure either. It’s more like… emptiness . Like something inside you is waiting for a meaning you can’t quite find. And you start asking yourself questions you never thought you would: “Why am I not happy?” “Is this all there is?” “What am I missing?” Maybe It’s Not Things… Maybe It’s You We spend so much of our lives chasing things. Better marks. Better...

The Sudden Rise of Temples: Bhakti, Belonging, or Just a Social Media Trend? Last Sunday morning, I stood barefoot in a long queue outside a temple I had visited many times before. The bells rang as usual, the priest chanted the same mantras, and the smell of incense floated in the air. Yet something felt different. People weren’t just praying. They were recording. Phones were raised higher than folded hands. Some whispered prayers, others whispered captions. A few adjusted camera angles before stepping inside. One girl asked her friend, “Wait, take the video again—slow motion this time.” As I finally reached the sanctum, a question quietly settled in my mind: Is this sudden wave of temple visits real bhakti, or is it just another trend born on social media? This question isn’t meant to judge. It’s meant to understand. Because something has clearly changed. A Noticeable Shift Everywhere Over the past year, temples across India have seen a dramatic rise in footfall—especially...

  🌍 Disaster Everywhere: Is Nature Giving Us a Hint? Natural disasters are rising at an alarming rate — cloudbursts, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, and wildfires are happening more frequently than ever before. Many people ask: Why is this happening? From a spiritual point of view , could it be that nature is giving us a powerful hint? 🌱 Understanding Disasters from a Spiritual Lens The Earth is not just land, water, and air — it is a living, breathing energy. Just like our body reacts when something goes wrong, the planet too expresses imbalance through disasters. Cloudbursts and floods remind us about the misuse of water. Earthquakes shake us to realize the fragile balance of life. Tsunamis and storms reflect the turbulence in collective human energy. Nothing in this universe happens without meaning. Every event carries a deeper message. 🙏 Spiritual Meaning of Natural Disasters Reminder of Interconnection Disasters show us that humans and nature are de...

Family is meant to be our safe place, but sometimes the very people we love the most are the ones who unknowingly (or knowingly) hurt us the deepest. Words may seem small, but repeated over time, they can shape our self-worth, silence our confidence, and leave scars that no one else can see. The Hidden Impact of Words When a family member constantly criticizes, mocks, or dismisses us, the damage is more than just momentary. It chips away at our identity. Constant criticism makes us question if we are ever “enough.” Comparisons make us feel inferior, no matter how hard we try. Dismissive comments convince us that our feelings don’t matter. These patterns may look harmless to outsiders, but for the person living through them, they can slowly break the spirit from the inside. Why Silence Hurts More Sometimes it’s not only what is said, but also what is left unsaid. A lack of encouragement when we need it. A cold silence after sharing something vulnerable. Avo...
