'I trust my inner voice and conscience'

Akshaya Venkatesan

Understanding of god

God is someone I sparred for good. I am an atheist but I look up to god with absolute awe because he or she gives immense security and faith to people which nobody else or nothing can offer, not even money. I have complete respect for the concept of god.

Spiritual beliefs

Being spiritual is nothing but being good to oneself and in this sense, I am a very spiritual person. I love myself, I am my priority and I trust my inner voice and conscience.

Spiritual practices

I respect the spiritual beliefs of others and that, I suppose,  is the best practice one can do. For example, my father believes that the Ganesha idol on my car dashboard will keep me safe and I oblige to that.

Pilgrimage sites

I have been to Rameswaram, more as  a traveller than a devotee. I ended up discovering Pamban and Dhanushkodi which are some of the best places in our part of the country. I hope to visit Rome sometime. Who doesn’t dream of holidaying in Europe?

Belief in miracles

As some wise men said, “we can see a thousand miracles around us every day. What is more supernatural than an egg yolk turning into a chicken?” I believe every day is a miracle.
