Abhishek Ji: I went to new avenues, explored more about my life... and flourishing.

Only because I didn’t let the ego become dominant, and participated without thinking about what would happen.

Thank you, Acharya Ji.

I could try to move ahead in life this openly only because of you. Having understood that if someone joins along then great; if not, then even alone is fine—but it has to be done. 😊

Why are housing prices constantly rising?

Early recipients spend money at its original value before prices rise, while later recipients face higher costs of living with the same income.

Changes in the money supply alter the relative prices of goods and services, often causing inflation in specific asset classes (like real estate or stocks) rather than a uniform increase in consumer prices.

तुम मेरे जीवन में आने वाले वो पहले पुरुष हो जिसने मुझसे कहा कि मैं भी इंसान हूं 🤍

तुम पहले पुरुष हो जिसके सीने से लग कर मैं रो पाई 😢

बचपन से पुरुषों के नाम पर सिर्फ़ डर भरा था मन में हमेशा उनके पीछे रहना ही सीखा था 😔

तुम मेरे जीवन में आने वाले वह पहले पुरुष हो जिसका हाथ पकड़ कर साथ चल पाई मैं 🤝

घर के माहौल में देखा था मां को घुटते हुए और ख़ुद कोने में सिसकते हुए 💔

तुम पहले पुरुष हो जिसके सामने मैं खुलकर हँस पाई 😊

तुम मेरे जीवन में आने वाले पहले पुरुष हो जिसका पुरुषत्व मुझे निगल नहीं गया 🌿

तुम पहले पुरुष हो, तुम ही एक पुरुष हो… ✨

~आचार्य जी

After completion of my 10k run on yesterday in 1hr 3min. , I still looking for increase my speed/pace..., so today i break the 5k threshold within 28.45 min. With 5.45' pace..., what should i do to improvement....

I’m finding myself less foolish than before, more alert than before. Whatever inner clarity I’ve gained, its result is visible outwardly. I could never have imagined myself to be this physically strong. In my conduct I was very timid; even now there are many things I feel afraid of, because there are some selfish interests tied to them, and I’ve given some things far too much importance. Listening to Acharya Ji, as much futility as I have seen, fear has run away from all of that—and the fight with the remaining weaknesses continues, Acharya Ji.

I just checked the weather update and i saw this shocking chart. I mean how is it possible that it's 41° hot in the evening.

Whenever i see something like this I remember what Acharya Prashant ji is continuously saying for 20 years.

"Severe heat waves across India, temperatures at dangerous levels.

It's all over the internet. It's there in the news. So much from India. India in particular is experiencing is twice the temperature variation that the rest of the world is experiencing due to climate change. that this country of ours that stands to be hit the hardest by the climate catastrophe is among the ones most happily ignorant to and dismissive of the climate threat.

The whole world is saying vote green vote green. No eco of that is heard in India.

The science of climate change is not complicated. Even a 10th grader can understand it. The problem is that we lack in our honesty."

in whose life rebellion comes every moment, after connecting with Acharya Ji.

Earlier, I was stuck in superstitious Babaji, family duty, lokhdharma.

I had become a “cultured, devoted wife; cultured daughter-in-law; superstitious, weak child,” because of which I had to stay silent in front of everyone, because I was ‘cultured’. Whether it was injustice, oppression, or something wrong— I had to bear it all.

Babaji Ji had told me that reading and writing are of no use, otherwise you won’t find God—just do chanting and kirtan and awaken the kundali. No interest in sports and art, because you are a girl, a married woman, a daughter-in-law, a wife. A dishonest and crying kind of life.

~On top of that, a separate kind of pride: I am a devotee of a famous Guruji, a religious, cultured, and obedient girl. If I remain so well-mannered and ‘great’, then everyone will love me, and I will become a good sadhvi. Then Mom’s sorrow will be relieved.

That’s how days and nights were passing; under pressure I got married, and in the name of duty, fear and pointless responsibilities increased.

Then one day I searched on Google 🔍 for a video and book on freedom from fear, and it changed my life. Then a reel of Acharya Ji came. ~In which it was said: ~ that your life is your choice, you yourself are responsible for the kind of life you have. Acharya Ji’s firm voice, and words of truth, attracted my ego, and I started following him.

_I didn’t listen that much, though.

Then, as if Acharya Ji had decided to lift me up, Anyaash, a male friend in my life connected me to Acharya Ji’s Gita sessions.

The first session shook me from within; it was about breaking the beliefs of lokhdharma and Babaji. Hearing the life of superstitious Babaji’s ‘knowledge’— something flared up inside. A curiosity-filled question arose within me?

~~That for the last 15 years, the devotion I have been doing for Babaji—was it false? There was a lot of resistance, and it was fun. As I started attending live day by day, ~then daily Babaji and my life started coming in front of me, and the confusion kept increasing; rebellion arose—what did you do with yourself for 35 years?

Slowly, I took responsibility to change myself and left home to become self-reliant.

And immediately after that, leaving behind all the show and comfort of home and that crying life, I came to the hostel.

When I listened continuously to 7 hr Gita sessions and reflected on my own life, then how that old Priya kept falling away, and a new Rebel Priya kept being born.

Yes, Rebel Priya.

Because I find it very right to make my name Rebel Priya instead of Priya.

(The community guidelines require keeping the real name, otherwise for quite some time I had kept Rebel Priya on the app too.)

I am not the girl I was at 35.

With a little help from a Gita friend, with a lot of clarity, I am self-reliant. No relationships of show-off and family are close anymore.

Now I am happily alone. And the time that used to go in crying and pointless duties—now in that same time I am trying to stay with the right work.

✅ In that, I started doing 3 hours of reflection.

✅ Started learning Hindi and English—listening, writing.

✅ Started keeping company with friends—boys and girls—of higher consciousness from the Gita sessions.

✅ Took up the challenge of making many unknown friendships; only then could I connect people who didn’t know about the Gita.

✅ Started studying from (LKG) to build understanding.

✅ Took physical training, took up the challenge with my handicapped left hand.

✅ Joined coaching for badminton, volleyball, Ballbadmeton, took marathon coaching; also endured taunts from many people—and all this was happening at the age of 36.

✅ Started watching films.

✅ Started using Facebook, Insta, Twitter.

And along with that, 🌱 I chose the right work, started giving donations, started connecting 3hr daily with people’s problems. ❤️ Took proprietorship of a book stall.

~Acharya Ji says, Do the right work, then it doesn’t remain necessary to worry about food and water.

Nothing can be purer than lighting lamps in people’s extinguished lives: talking daily to connect people with the Gita, setting up a book stall—this is something like that for me.

And being able to gather this much courage became possible by maintaining continuity in the Gita sessions, by writing self-observation.

I used to do a job earlier too, but there there was exploitation. And I used to spend all the money on Babaji, charity, and making family happy.

But now it’s not like that. Now I strengthen the body, sharpen the intellect, and invest in giving spirituality to the mind.

I got my hair cut, changed my clothing, stopped putting tilak and wearing a rosary for Babaji. Stopped doing makeup to keep my husband happy.

I threw the body into the right work. When Acharya Ji came to Odisha, I had nothing with me except my Gita 🥇 and tears of gratitude 🥹 When Acharya Ji says, ‘Now don’t make bangles jingle, make medals jingle’, I had lost myself—this is my prasad. I was hugging him and crying a lot 🥹

And when he was holding me like that, he felt like my father, who passed away in my childhood, five years after my birth.

I have been reborn. In the end, Acharya’s words are still echoing in my ears: “Keep moving ahead like this; it’s not fun to walk alone—take everyone along.” From that day, every day—an effort to connect people with the Gita.

Now I am not that consciousness that I was for 35 years, now I am a rebel. ✨

And to give me this new birth, even the word thank you is too small for Acharya Ji.

You are the Wisdom father for all of us. Who introduces us to our own selves.

If I keep writing now, words will fall short,

but now I pause; I will meet you again soon

and becoming a rebel...

I have been seeing the photos and reels on YouTube from the recent Rishikesh visit, and I truly feel that those who were able to attend were very fortunate. I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to come to India and attend the sessions in person. I cannot wait for that day.

I came to the United States when I was very young and grew up here. Over time, I became disconnected from India and often struggled to relate to what I saw during my visits. Through exposure to various teachings and teachers, I remained inwardly restless, sensing that something important was still missing.

That changed when I came across a video of Acharya Prashant Ji in 2020. Initially, I did not take his teachings seriously. But then I lost my beloved cat, Ranger. His loss brought me face to face with deeper questions about compassion and my own contradictions. From that point onward, I began listening to Acharya Prashant regularly and sincerely.

My day-to-day decisions are now guided by his teachings. I learned that true freedom is not only about changing outer actions, but also about freeing the mind from rigidity, judgment, and inner pressure. Now I have the courage to choose what is right, even when it comes with difficult consequences.

Because of Acharya Ji, I continue to work toward a life rooted in awareness, compassion, and inner freedom. Acharya Ji, your teachings are in my DNA now; even death cannot separate us. 🙏🏼🪔🌱

Also sharing the picture of my beloved cat Ranger, who became the bridge connecting me to this path and to Acharya Ji.

Last Saturday and Sunday I Played a Cricket Tournament and Won it. I am happy after playing the tournament, giving my best what can I do.
