Voice of chittan @ Dr Swetha Thiruchanuru

 This morning, I had a dream that jolted me awake. In it, I was told that I would die today afternoon. At first, fear and sadness gripped me , thoughts of my little one, my family, and all the unfinished pieces of life weighed heavily on my heart. But as the dream slowly faded, it left behind a powerful life lesson...life is uncertain, but how we fill each moment is in our hands. One second, once gone, never returns. We cannot control time, but we can choose how to use it. That realization made me see the importance of consistency in what truly matters. For me, that is Namasmarana , the repetition of Lord Vishnu’s name. Narayana...OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYAYA NAMAHA...💕 Why? Because His name feels like nectar. Unlike temporary pleasures, it nourishes, heals, and leaves behind a sweetness that stays even when everything else fades. Human life itself is said to be as rare as drinking nectar,and what a waste it would be if we didn’t use it to taste the eternal. The dream wasn’t abo...

 Namasthe to the Voice of Chittan Readers, Glad to connect with you after so many days.  Sometimes life moves too fast, and we forget to pause. In the middle of all the deadlines, noise, and professional responsibilities, I am learning that true peace comes from slowing down and enjoying the little things. Some mornings feel extra special. A cool breeze, a hot cup of coffee, and a little time for myself that’s all it takes to feel calm and happy. When I get tired or frustrated, these small things remind me to slow down. Sitting in silence, spending a few minutes with nature, or just breathing deeply makes me feel fresh again. It’s like pressing a reset button for the mind. Life, in truth, is simple. We are the ones who make it complicated with too many thoughts, worries, and comparisons. Happiness is not always in big plans or achievements. It is hidden in these quiet, everyday moments. So whenever life feels heavy, I try to pause, sip my coffee, look at the sky, and remind my...

 In a world where growth is often measured in deadlines met and milestones achieved, we rarely pause to ask: What truly moves the soul? What if self-development wasn’t just about climbing the corporate ladder, but also about climbing within ..... one quiet step at a time? We often look for inspiration in grand speeches, bestselling books, or powerful personalities. But sometimes, the most profound lessons come from the quiet corners of life , from people who go unnoticed but live with a rare, deep purpose. Recently, I had the blessed opportunity to visit Tirumala , the sacred abode of Lord Venkateswara. While the divine darshan itself was soul-stirring, it was the journey , the climb, the people, and the silent stories unfolding around us , that left a lasting impression. Image: Sacred Hills of Tirumala Amid the chants of Govinda Govinda and the rustling of countless bare feet on ancient stone steps, I met a man whose simple spiritual routine shook me deeply. He was in his 60s , a...

  Sarvam Vishnumayam Jagat..... The entire cosmos is pervaded by Vishnu. God is not confined to temples, names, forms, or rituals. He is the essence of everything, every being, every breath, every moment. He is the Atmic principle that resides quietly within and around us. Recently, during our spiritual trek to Ahobilam , a place soaked in the divine energy of Lord Narasimha, we encountered a profound moment of insight. As we descended the sacred hills, a group of fellow pilgrims were discussing the story of Prahlada and Hiranyakashipu . Their view was that Prahlada was the cause of his father’s death. Listening to this, I felt moved to gently intervene not to correct, but to share a deeper perspective. I said, “Prahlada was not the cause of Hiranyakashipu’s death. He was the reason for his moksha. ” Hiranyakashipu’s end was inevitable—not because of hatred or vengeance, but because he had to be liberated from the cycle of ego, delusion, and material obsession. The Lord descen...

  Hey all, Namasthe and Welcome to The Voice of Chittan ! I’m back with another soulful reflection, one that speaks to every heart that’s ever felt unheard, every spirit that’s been tested, and every dream that’s dared to rise above the noise. Today’s blog is a story of resilience, mindful living, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed, until it chooses to fly high. Let’s dive in. In a quiet forest, there lived a bird unlike the rest. It wasn’t the loudest, nor the fastest. It didn’t compete for attention or join the noisy flocks that filled the skies with chaos. This bird had a different way of being,it moved slowly, intentionally, and mindfully. Its path wasn’t always clear, but its heart was steady. Every day, it focused on what mattered,its purpose, its values, and its inner peace. But the world around it didn’t understand silence. A flock of noisy birds began to notice this quiet one. They squawked and laughed, mocking its calm demeanor. “Why are you so slow?” the...

 Parenting today is a paradox. While we strive to protect our children, the world around them constantly contradicts our efforts. We say no to inappropriate content, we don’t take our kids to movies like a goon and smuggler will be the iconic hero, we don’t play songs  which shows variety of explicit Feelings at home—but what about peer influence? Even if parents set boundaries, children live in a world where exposure is inevitable. In school, they hear classmates discussing explicit scenes. At a family gathering, an older cousin plays a viral clip. On the playground, kids imitate dialogues, not even knowing their meaning. A child who hears an adult say, "Don’t use bad words," also sees a crowd laughing when another kid in a movie swears. What is the child supposed to believe? Don’t they get confused? The Social Media Trophy Case Once, childhood was a sacred time of innocence. Today, it’s a performance for validation. Parents record and post every moment, unknowingly turning ...

  Greatness is never born in isolation—it is nurtured, guided, and shaped by unseen hands. Behind every leader, every visionary, and every revolutionary, there is an invisible force—one that does not seek recognition, one that gives without expecting, one that molds legacies in silence. This force is motherhood —not just in the traditional sense, but as a universal spirit of nurturing, protecting, and empowering . It is found in the arms of a mother, the wisdom of a father, the guidance of a mentor, the love of a teacher, and the generosity of a nation. It is the quiet resilience that raises warriors, the unwavering love that shapes saints, and the gentle strength that builds civilizations. Motherhood is not just a relationship—it is a purpose, a calling, and the most transformative force in the world.   Have you ever paused to wonder what truly shapes a great soul? We celebrate heroes, visionaries, and legends, but rarely do we ask—who lit the first spark in their heart...

  The world is a battlefield, not of swords and shields, but of attention. Every day,  bombarded with distractions—notifications, endless choices, new tools promising success. But here’s the truth: Most of them are just noise. We live in a world that glorifies more. More tools, more hacks, more information—until our minds resemble an overcrowded marketplace, buzzing with distractions. But  overwhelm is not solved by addition. It’s solved by subtraction. Lord Krishna, in the Bhagavad Gita, gives us a profound truth: “उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं आत्मानमवसादयेत | आत्मैव हत्मानो बन्धुः आत्मैवारीपुरात्मनः |                           (  भगवत गीता ) (Elevate yourself through your mind, do not degrade yourself. The mind is both your best friend and your worst enemy.) our greatest battle is not with the outside world—it’s with our own mind. And our ...

In life, it often seems that our good deeds and achievements are remembered only until our next mistake. This reality can be both humbling and daunting, but it also offers a profound lesson: never tie your self-worth to praise or criticism. The Fleeting Nature of Praise Human memory is selective. We cherish moments of appreciation, bask in the warmth of recognition, and feel validated when our efforts are acknowledged. But how long does this validation last? The truth is, today’s applause fades into tomorrow’s silence. The world moves fast—your last achievement is quickly replaced by new expectations. If your self-worth is built on external appreciation, you will always be at the mercy of others' shifting attention. Instead, treat praise as a pleasant breeze—enjoy it, but don’t rely on it to move forward. The Weight of Criticism Criticism, on the other hand, tends to linger far longer than praise. A single negative comment can overshadow a hundred compliments, shaking our confiden...

Namasthe to "Voice of Chittan" Readers!  As we sat together for a family movie night, immersed in the gripping tale unfolding on the screen, the hero stood alone, fighting against injustice. The villains, armed with massive weapons, seemed invincible, while the hero wielded nothing but a simple hammer. Watching intently, my son turned to me and asked, "How can he stop evil with just a hammer?" Without a second thought, completely absorbed in the moment, I responded, "Balam aayudham lo undadhu… daanni patte vaadilo untundhi!" (Strength is not in the weapon, but in the one who wields it.) As soon as I uttered those words, something struck me. I paused. I pondered. Wasn't this the essence of every great story, every legend, and every real-life victory? The Gandiva was powerful only because it was in Arjuna’s hands, used for a righteous cause. The Sudarshana Chakra became a force of protection and justice only when wielded by Lord Krishna. Hanuman, though ...

 మేమంతా ఒక సినిమా చూస్తూ ఆసక్తిగా మునిగిపోయాం. కథలో, ధర్మాన్ని కాపాడేందుకు పోరాడుతున్న హీరో ఒక్కడు. విలన్లు భారీ ఆయుధాలతో ఉగ్రరూపంలో కనిపిస్తున్నారు, కానీ హీరో చేతిలో కేవలం ఒక త్రిశూలం లాంటి సామాన్యమైన ఆయుధం మాత్రమే. With deep involved ..చూస్తున్న నా కొడుకు నన్ను ఆశ్చర్యంగా అడిగాడు, "అమ్మా, ఇతను ఈ చిన్న ఆయుధంతో ఎలా ఈ రాక్షసులను ఓడిస్తాడు?" సినిమాలో నేను అంతగా లీనమై, వెంటనే స్పందించాను, "బలం ఆయుధంలో ఉండదు… దాన్ని పట్టిన వాడిలో ఉంటుంది!" ఆ మాట నాకెందుకో లోపల ఏదో ఆలోచనను రేకెత్తించింది. ఒక్కసారిగా ఆగిపోయి లోతుగా తర్కించాను. నిజంగా, ఇదేనా అన్ని మహాకావ్యాల సారం? నిజమైన శక్తి మన దగ్గర ఉన్న ఆయుధాల్లో కాదు, మన విశ్వాసంలో, మన నమ్మకంలో, మన ధైర్యంలో ఉంది. గాండీవం అర్జునుని చేతిలో ఉన్నందుకే ధర్మానికి సహాయపడింది. సుదర్శన చక్రం శ్రీకృష్ణుని జ్ఞానానికి లోబడి ధర్మరక్షణ చేసింది. హనుమంతుడు తన శక్తిని గుర్తించక ముందు సాధారణ వానరుడే… కానీ నమ్మకం కలిగిన క్షణమే అతను అపరమిత శక్తి పొందాడు. సుదర్శన చక్రం ఎందుకు కేవలం ఒక చక్రం కాదు? గాండీవం ఎందుకు సామాన్య ధనుస్సు కాదు? ఎందుకు అదే ఆయుధాలు ఇతర...

Namasthe beautiful souls over there!!  There comes a time in everyone’s life when we wonder: What do people think of me? We seek validation, approval, and acknowledgment, hoping that the world sees us in the best light. We celebrate praise and feel crushed by criticism. But what if I told you that the loudest, most impactful voice in your life isn’t from the world around you—but from within? Yes, people will talk. They will have opinions—sometimes kind, sometimes harsh. But at the end of the day, it’s not about what the world says about you; it’s about what you say to yourself . That voice, the one that echoes in your mind when no one else is around, is what truly shapes your reality. Your Inner Dialogue Creates Your World Think about it—when you succeed at something, how do you respond? Do you say, “I’m proud of myself. I worked hard for this.” Or do you dismiss it, saying, “It’s nothing special. Anyone could have done it.” And when you face failure, do you say, “This is a lesso...

 Dear Readers Namasthe.  Life has a strange way of teaching us lessons. What feels right and perfect today might seem like a mistake tomorrow, and what we regret now might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to us. It’s all about time and perspective. The sooner we accept that life is constantly shifting, the easier it becomes to live without the burden of regret or the anxiety of the unknown. But that’s easier said than done, isn’t it? Google images We spend so much of our lives chasing what we think will bring us happiness—success, recognition, love, wealth, the perfect life we’ve built in our minds. And sometimes, we even get it. But strangely, once we do, the feeling of satisfaction doesn’t last as long as we expected. We move the goalpost. We start looking for the next thing, convinced that this —this new thing—is what we really need. And in this relentless pursuit of “more,” we completely overlook what we already have. It’s only when we pause, when we take a...

 Hey Dear Readers!  Namasthe.  Voice of Chittan is back with another interesting thoughtful introspective discussion. Are you ready to dive in?? Let's read...  The other day, I sat in a quiet corner of my home, scrolling through old photos. Each picture told a story—some happy, others bittersweet. And as I reflected on the memories, one thought struck me: why do we let unresolved emotions and regrets linger so long in our lives? Why do we hold onto them when all they do is steal our peace? I’ve realized that life isn’t about perfect moments or flawless decisions. It’s about learning to let go, to face our truths, and to embrace happiness without drama. But doing that? It’s easier said than done. Life is a beautiful journey, but often, it feels like we are carrying unnecessary baggage—emotions left unresolved, regrets weighing us down, and drama that clouds our joy. But life, in its essence, is meant to be lived happily, freely, and with a heart full of love. Have you...

 Dear Readers Namasthe.. Life, as we know it, is unpredictable. It can lift you to the skies one moment and knock you down the next. Sometimes, the people you hold closest to your heart—your loved ones—might hurt you deeply, leave you, or make you question your ability to trust again. Promotions might bring you joy; demotions might shatter your confidence. Some relationships thrive, while others fade away like footprints on the beach. But here’s the truth: everything is working for your highest good. Yes, even when it doesn’t seem like it. The secret lies in how we perceive life’s events. Let’s learn to see the good in all situations. This habit of focusing on the positive, no matter how challenging, is what we call a growth mindset. When things go wrong—and they will—pause for a moment. Look for that tiny glimmer of hope, that hidden lesson, that small blessing. This isn’t about being blind to pain or pretending everything’s okay when it’s not. It’s about believing that every set...

 Hello, dear reader. Namasthe.  Welcome to the another thought provoking, transformative blog of voice of chittan.  Today, I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation with you—a reflection, if you will, about how we define wealth and what truly matters in this short journey called life. Let’s begin with a question: How wealthy are you? At first glance, the answers might center around what society recognizes—your job title, the money in your account, the properties you own, the skills you’ve mastered, or the awards you’ve won. These are the things people notice, right? But let me ask you another question: What happens if you lose them? We’ve all been there, haven’t we? The relentless pursuit of things that society tells us are important. The best job, the biggest house, the loudest applause. We’re so focused on climbing this imaginary ladder that we forget to ask: What happens when we reach the top? Will there be peace? Or will it just be another ladder to climb? Here’s t...

  Hey all,Namaste. thank you for tuning in voice of chittan blog.  Today, I want to talk about something we often overlook but desperately need:  "the art of doing nothing.” Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it? There are days when no matter how hard we plan, things just don’t go our way. Deadlines get missed, expectations aren’t met, and sometimes, it feels like the world is rushing by while we’re stuck in slow motion. It’s frustrating, right? But what if I told you that these unexpected pauses are not failures—they’re opportunities? Opportunities to breathe. To reflect. To just be. Think about it. From the moment we wake up, we’re chasing something—goals, recognition, validation, or even the next item on our to-do list. But do we ever pause and ask ourselves, “Why?” Why are we running? And more importantly, where are we running to? Here’s the thing: not every day has to be about hitting targets or checking boxes. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come ...
