SAMOSAS AND SACRED OFFERINGS

Outside the gudwara

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.  Kahlil Gibran

It was a sacred day for my beloved host family—a celebration of sweet Vanya’s sixteenth birthday. In this culture, family is not simply a bond; it is a living temple of love, honor, and devotion. As the clock struck midnight, we gathered around her with joyful voices and warm hearts, singing into the new year of her life. But the real celebration—the one I will carry forever in my spirit—began later after a night of rest. Instead of ribbons, bows, and glittering wrapping paper, our arms were filled with the most profound gifts: gifts of nourishment. Gifts of compassion. Gifts of presence. We traveled first to Pracheta’s gurdwara. The early quiet wrapped around us like a prayer. Shoes were left outside, heads were covered, and a donation was offered in Vanya’s name—an act of blessing her life by blessing others. Inside the stillness of that sacred space, I felt the energy of countless prayers that had risen like incense from hearts both weary and hopeful. Pracheta showed me the flag—raised in times of need to guide people toward food, refuge, and care. A symbol of what true giving looks like. Afterward, we picked up a friend to join the offering. As we drove by the teaching hospital, she told me how people from all over the world come there seeking healing. Nearby, a crowd had gathered—souls waiting humbly for any kindness that might find them. The samosas we carried became more than food; they became blessings passed from hand to hand. With each offering, I made eye contact, whispering a quiet blessing of love, grace, and peace. In those moments, I understood the essence of giving—not what is in our hands, but what is in our hearts. It is the true essence of the mission of the Peace On Earth Tour. By the time we arrived home, we were tired and hungry—but beautifully full in spirit. This tradition… oh, what a holy gift she has shared with me. This day will remain etched into the story of my India journey as a banner day of compassion and spiritual awakening.

Dear Angels, what does it truly mean to give of ourselves? How do we embody the highest form of generosity in our daily lives?

Dear Ones, giving is the language of the soul. When you offer from your heart, you are not diminishing yourself—you are expanding your light. True giving is not measured by size, cost, or quantity. It is measured by the purity of your intention. To give of yourself is to offer your presence where loneliness has settled. It is to offer your compassion where suffering has taken root. It is to offer your time where life feels heavy for another. It is to offer your heart where hope is fading. Each time you look into the eyes of another with love, you become a doorway through which Divine Grace can enter the world. Each blessing whispered, each smile shared, each moment of kindness offered without expectation—we magnify it, amplify it, and carry it into places you cannot see.

Know this, Dear Ones, that when you give of yourself, you are never depleted. You step into the endless current of Divine abundance. Love flows through you—and Love replenishes itself.

Be generous with your presence.

Be abundant with your kindness.

Be fearless in your compassion.

For every act of true giving becomes a prayer that reshapes the world. And we walk with you in every offering.

Angels Whisper: Give with your heart, dear one, and the Universe will give through you. One small act of love becomes a beacon that lights a hundred unseen paths. You are the gift, and your presence is the blessing.

Today, I promise to keep giving.
