Gratitude in Consensual Slavery

One of my marriage vows is to always be thankful for Swami's presence in my life.

Tomorrow is Karva Chauth and I will be observing a fast to thank the divine for Swami's presence in my life and praying for his health.

Having said that, the fast is just an external manifestation about how I feel inside. Karva Chauth helps me celebrate the respect I feel for Swami, the urge I feel to put his needs before mine and of course the gratitude I feel in my heart to have him in my life.

In Today's world where we often discount what we have, in order to crave for what we don't, gratitude often gets left on the wayside. On the day before Karva Chauth, I wanted to make this Monday about intentionally being mindfully grateful for everything in my life: my Swami, my daughter, my parents, my friends and of course you, my wonderful blog readers.

To capture that spirit of gratitude, I am presenting a lovely song from the 1962 Bollywood movie Anpadh (The Illiterate) that I set to a romantic moment from the movie "Jodha Akbar". I have added subtitles to this song, so please make sure to turn those on.

Hope you enjoy it

Hugs

  1. Wow Daasi really good song selection you've made for this scene of Jodha Akhbar. The song is totally in sync with the video. Also the lyrics suit really well on the actions and movements in the video. Aapko Karva Chauth mubaarak ho. Enjoy! :D
