Happy Depavalee - The festival of Lights.

 

                                       My we exist with the purity of a Lotus in Muddy Waters.

🌏 A Million and One Reflections – A Dedication

As of today, The Cheeseburger Buddha has reached 1,124,079 reads across the world.
Numbers in themselves mean little, yet they whisper of a shared journey —
a million hearts who paused for a moment to walk beside mine.

I dedicate this humble milestone to all my teachers and friends —
those whose faces I have known, and those whose voices reached me
through their written words, their podcasts, their talks,
their silent acts of kindness and wisdom.

Each of you has, in your own way,
laid a layer of gold leaf upon the statue of my becoming.
You have shaped the seeker I am,
and guided my hand as I strive to share what little light I have gathered.

Today, as the world celebrates Deepavali — the Festival of Lights,
I too light a humble lamp of gratitude.
May its flame join the countless others kindled in every heart
that strives toward truth, compassion, and awakening.
The triumph of light over darkness is not only a tale of old,
but a daily remembrance that within each of us,
the Divine spark forever shines.

This, then, is not a celebration of numbers,
but of the spirit that moves unseen through us all —
the Universal Soul that teaches, learns, and gives without asking.
If even one word, one sketch, or one reflection has eased another soul’s burden,
then my vow as a Bodhisattva stands fulfilled.

To all who have read, shared, questioned, or simply paused here:
May you be Whole, Perfect, and Complete,
Strong and Powerful, Loving and Compassionate,
Harmonious and Happy — Insha’Allah.
