Before anything else my home in Faridabad was called Hansadhwani- which literally means the 'sound of the swan'. Nobody ever lived in this house, where i now live since October 2007, though it was built by my father long back. I came here to heal from my wounding and to gather my broken pieces together. In reality I faced so much hostility that I needed a safe place to be, where I could just live in peace with my dogs.
Since I had no way to do anything except move into this home quietly with the minimal belongings I had, which only meant my instruments, my dogs, my books and my clothes, the rest was all gathered here slowly. The house was bare, cold, barren and stark...but that was then. If you see my blog from the back first you will get a picture- of how I turned things slowly here.
Hansadhwani came as a name to me for many reasons, but perhaps one of them was that I was told by someone to choose a name for myself that started with an 'h'. I could not change my own name and neither did I really want to get into astrology beyond a certain limit, I still chose the name, because I thought it sounded good to me, meant good to me and it was reflective of my spirit too. Let me share what the layers of Hansadhwani as I saw them. But before I go further and you make a judgement about me about my interest in astrology, let me tell you that someone who is very ill just needs a little ray of hope and if they can they look for hope in all directions- i did too, and this was one of them as well. Though long back I figured that I have to let go of the mumble-jumble that it is and just take over whatever I can in my own life. We really have such little control on things in our lives that to seek recourse to astrology only seems natural and normal thing at that time.
Hansadhwani is a pentatonic raga, meaning having five notes, what we call swaras in India. This unives
