My Navratri 2017

Last updated on: November 16, 2017 at 12:01 pm By Ambaa Choate

I apologize that I didn’t post anything for Diwali. It really snuck up on me! Usually it’s in November but it came early this year and I was so focused on Navratri that I didn’t really do anything for Diwali. That said, we had a lovely Navratri. Recently we took boxes of my husband’s childhood toys from his mom’s house and the majority of them are Star Wars toys. So I told him that we should use his Star Wars... Read more

Faith Based Media

Last updated on: October 19, 2017 at 9:40 am By Ambaa Choate

I generally avoid TV shows and movies that are “faith-based.” And only partly because, at least here in America, that is pretty much code for “Christian-based.” But what bothers me more than that is the agenda coming off these stories. You can smell it a mile away. It’s like how you can tell when someone wants to sell you something. These writers want to sell you on their God and because of that agenda they are not going to be...

Navratri 2017

Last updated on: September 21, 2017 at 11:09 am By Ambaa Choate

The Hindu holiday of Navratri (the fall one) is coming up fast! This is probably my favorite festival of the year. I particularly like the golu “doll” displays that are created in South India. This year Navratri begins on Thursday September 21st and ends Friday September 29th. How To Celebrate Navratri This year I think my theme will be Star Wars. Garrick Ravi is still a little young to enjoy and understand but I’m really looking forward to when he... Read more

Screen Time For Grownups

Last updated on: November 16, 2017 at 9:58 am By Ambaa Choate

When we were at the beach a couple weeks ago I spent a lot of time playing games on my cell phone. I’m a fan of computer games and video games (and tabletop games too). Every once in awhile I would think that I should not be on my phone, I should be making memories! (And that’s not to say that I didn’t also spend lots of time making memories with Garrick Ravi too. He took his first steps there!)... Read more

Maybe He Drowned?

Last updated on: September 7, 2017 at 11:47 am By Ambaa Choate

I don’t spend much time or energy wondering about my past lives. I’m sure they happened but it doesn’t have too much bearing on right now. This life and this moment are the only places where change can happen, after all. This past week we took Garrick Ravi on a beach trip with Brad’s family. I grew up also taking beach trips each summer and I loved it. I love the ocean so much and I took to it right... Read more

Solar Eclipse

Last updated on: September 7, 2017 at 11:47 am By Ambaa Choate

Last week there was this big event of a full solar eclipse, which from what I understand doesn’t happen very often. Around us in the U.S. it was the topic of conversation every where for about a week. Everyone you met wanted to know if you were going to watch, if you had gotten the special glasses to be able to look at the sun safely or if you’d use a pinhole camera to see an image of it on...

I Missed Ganesh Chaturthi

Last updated on: August 29, 2017 at 7:44 pm By Ambaa Choate

Well, as I was saying a little while back it can be easy to miss Hindu events and festivals when you’re a new Hindu or a Hindu convert. Though I do have a little Hindu community around me, it is still easy to miss things. We were traveling last Friday, driving back from a trip with Brad’s family, so we didn’t do anything for Ganesh Chaturthi. Which is a shame because it is one of my favorite holidays. Actually over...

My Anniversary

Last updated on: August 19, 2017 at 7:31 am By Ambaa Choate

Yesterday was my fourth wedding anniversary. As I reflect on my marriage, I am in awe of how wonderful and perfect it is. My husband is so awesome and perfect for me in every way. I’m usually a skeptic and I’m not one to put much stock in the blessings of a “holy man” but it really is remarkable that less than a year after visiting the guru (who at the time I thought of as only my parents’ guru)...

The Fear of Death

Last updated on: August 24, 2017 at 11:21 am By Ambaa Choate

My husband and I did another discussion video. This is a subject I’ve been planning to talk about for a long time and we finally got a chance while Garrick Ravi was napping. So today Brad and I are talking about the fear of death… Ambaa: So let me give a little introduction about what we’re talking about today. I am terrified of death. INTRO Ambaa: …and it doesn’t really make sense because in The Gita, Krishna talks about how... Read more
