Today, I bow in gratitude to my Grandmother. She taught me strength without hardness, truth without anger, & love without weakness. She led not just through words, but through the steadiness of her being. Her grace & blessings continue to guide me & I carry her within me always.

On the birthday of Vishalakshi Amma, we remember a life lived in awareness, love, and quiet strength. A mother whose values continue to nurture generations. We bow down in gratitude. 🙏
