‘Faith is god, god is faith’

Swarna Varsha Gurumoorthy

Understanding of god

An immortal, a creator, a mentor – I have never seen him as any of these, and yet I believe in him. This is what I call faith. In a nutshell, faith is god and god is faith.

Religious practices and spiritual experiences

I have always felt that belief pushes one to practice something. Practice helps him reach perfection, which in turn drives him to achieve. Achievement makes one  realise his own self. That’s what I call spirituality. My religious practices include positive thinking and keeping the energy levels high.

Take on miracles

Miracles happened at times when I was down in life. I will not say that miracles save our lives, but they definitely help us value it.

Superstitious belief

Before starting an important task, I always look up to the sky and pray for a while.

Pilgrimage sites

I enjoy visiting the Sai Baba Temple in Mylapore. Also, every temple in the Sadhuragiri Hills is close to my heart.

Take on meditation

I never meditate but I can define it. Meditation is a process to control one’s speculative thoughts, so as to stabilise and focus on a particular vision.

Interaction with god

I talk to god about my successes and failures. This is one reason I enjoy life.
