“Can you tell me what will happen next?” As a Jyotish practitioner, this is the most common question I hear....
Through jyotish, meditation and the wisdom that only comes from walking through fire.
Not prediction-perspective.
Support through grief and change.
Breathwork and ancient wisdom.
New reflections in your inbox.
I do not believe we are here merely to predict the future. I believe we are here to understand ourselves. And when understanding deepens, life begins to unfold differently.
The journey was not linear.
It moved through research laboratories, years of service, decades of spiritual practice, profound grief – and a surrender that changed everything.
Today, I sit with people who find themselves at life’s crossroads – the moments when the old answers no longer work and something deeper is required.
Through Jyotish, spiritual guidance, meditation and self-inquiry, I help you navigate uncertainty with greater clarity, trust and inner strength.
Welcome. May this space offer you clarity, companionship and light for your journey.
There are no bad planets, only lessons to be learned here. No periods to dread. No gemstones to buy and no fear to carry home. Only understanding of your karma, your timing, the season your life is in and what it is asking of you.
If astrology has scared you before, I want you to know: that is not the only way to read the sky.
Not everyone arrives with the same question. These are the different ways I can meet you where you are.
Stories and reflections on loss, longing, wisdom, and the light within.
वर्ष 2025 में जीवन ने मेरी दौड़ रोक दी।
अस्पताल के वे लंबे दिन।
मणिकर्णिका की अग्नि।
गंगा का तट।
और रात के दो बजे का वह मौन, जिसमें मन के भीतर चल रहा सारा शोर अचानक थम गया।
पंद्रह वर्षों तक मैं योग वशिष्ठ पढ़ती रही थी—धीरे-धीरे, प्रतिदिन केवल दो-तीन पृष्ठ। तब मुझे कहाँ पता था कि जिन शब्दों को मैं पढ़ रही हूँ, वे एक दिन मेरे अपने जीवन की अग्नि में उतरेंगे और अपने अर्थ को मेरे सामने खोलेंगे।
अग्नि तक किसी दर्शन की व्याख्या नहीं है।
न ही यह आध्यात्मिक उपदेशों का संग्रह है।
यह एक साधक की अपनी यात्रा है—
जीवन की दौड़ से ठहराव तक,
पकड़ से समर्पण तक,
दुःख से समझ तक,
और मृत्यु के सामने खड़े होकर जीवन को पहली बार पूरी तरह देखने तक।
यह उन सभी के लिए है जो कभी रात के दो बजे अपने भीतर किसी ऐसी अग्नि के साथ अकेले बैठे हों, जिसे वे किसी से कह नहीं पाए।
शायद आपकी अग्नि मेरी जैसी न हो।
शायद आपकी यात्रा भी अलग हो।
लेकिन भीतर तक ले जाने वाली हर सच्ची यात्रा एक दिन हमसे यही पूछती है—
क्या अब भी भागना है?
या अब ठहरना है?
In 2025, life stopped me.
What followed the hospital, the sacred fires of Varanasi, the 2am silences became this book.
For fifteen years I had read the Yoga Vasishtha every morning, guided by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji, whose grace has been the constant companion of my journey. This book is what that faithful reading, and that fire, gave me.
It is not a scholarly work. It is the account of someone who read carefully, walked through fire and came out the other side carrying something that refused to be kept.
Written for every sincere seeker sitting alone at 2am with the fire inside and nobody to talk to.
You are not alone.
I am a scientist by training; as a daughter I believed I knew the body well enough to save my father. Then his blood reports said cancer and none of what I knew could stop it.
I held his hand through hospital corridors, through his final rituals at Manikarnika Ghat, through nights I couldn't sleep and guilt I couldn't put down.
The Lantern in the Dark is what those sleepless nights gave me.
It isn't a manual of predictions. It's a person's testimony and understanding that every suffering has a shape, a name and a purpose; and that the chart is a doorway to understanding it and never a life sentence.
If you're the one sitting awake at 2 a.m. asking why life became so heavy I was you. This book is the lamp I wish someone had handed me then.
