‘I think of God daily’

Akshaya Venkatesan

Understanding of god

I believe strongly in the existence of god. I feel his presence and realise it as well, but do not know if that actually means understanding him. Understanding comes when you acknowledge the purpose of life given to you and live it to the fullest.

Spiritual beliefs

I don’t have any specific spiritual beliefs. I think of god in times of trouble and happiness. Otherwise, my routine keeps me busy.

Spiritual practices

I think of the almighty every day as I feel grateful for the life bestowed upon me. I take time out of my schedule to visit temples. I have always seen temples filled with positive energy and vibes. I find solace when I visit them.

Pilgrimage

I had been to a lot of temples as a child. Now, I would like to visit Tirupathi. It has always been of importance and is a personal thing to me.

Take on miracles

I believe that life itself is a miracle, at least that’s how it has been so for me all this while.  In life, sometimes hard work alone is not enough. You need to be there at the right place at the right time and that, in my opinion, is a miracle. It does not happen very often and not to everyone. When the right time comes, everything just falls in place. Some people prefer to call it luck, I call it a miracle.
