As I was browsing my Facebook messenger for any new messages I got one message from InspireMe that just made my day! I have been nominated for Sunshine Blogger Award 2018. I m really on cloud nine!

The Sunshine Award is given to a blogger by another blogger who they find inspiring. They are recognized as creative, positive, and inspiring to others in the blogosphere! I m so grateful for my fellow blogger. I was overwhelmed to know that my passion was doing some good in someone else’s life.

I hope you all enjoy reading them and get inspired from them to dream more, achieve more and give more to the world! It makes me feel I m doing something for my fellow women.

Thank you InspireMe for valuing my work and giving me this award, which I gladly accept! While I accept this award I have to answer a list of questions and reveal some of my secrets to my readers! Everyone loves hearing secrets, right? Let’s see what InspireMe hit me with!

1. What is your name and its meaning?

My name is Deeksha. I love my name! It means preparation or consecration for a religious ceremony”, is giving of a mantra or an initiation by the guru (in Guru–shishya tradition) of Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Diksa is given in a one-to-one ceremony, and typically includes the taking on of a serious spiritual discipline. The word is derived from the Sanskrit root dā (“to give”) plus kṣi (“to destroy”) or alternately from the verb root dīkṣ (“to consecrate”). When the mind of the guru and the disciple become one, then we say that the disciple has been initiated by the guru.

2. What is the best way to cheer you up when sad?

Whenever I’m sad I chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra. It gives me immense peace and satisfaction. I also love playing with my toddler daughter as her smile cools me down and bring out the child in me.

I aim to bring smile on faces of women around me. I want to make them feel their worth.
