Today we have with us Shanteriga Raweenthran

Shanteriga Raweenthran is a self-taught artist who loves art and all its forms. She is specialised in painting murals, portraits and mandalas (Sacred Geometries). Her mission is to bring art and aesthetics to people’s life by transforming their space. No human should live in a space where there is no possibility to turn inward. Art, design, colour and shape has the ability to open different dimensions of life where people can naturally find expression to their inner nature. It is also a very peaceful and meditative process for her on a personal level as she believes in healing influences of colours. She hopes to inspire and connect people with their playful inner child while adding colours to their lives.

Hello,

So Today it is me alone talking about Minimalism!

“If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.” -The Dalai Lama, 1935.

Minimalism is about prioritizing what is of value to you and that which is adding to your quality of life. That could mean discarding unwanted things, abusive relationships and unnecessary activities.

We seem to be always in a rush to make more money, hoard the best stuff, get the modern gadgets, embrace a modern lifestyle as per the societal needs. Being glued to television sets, mobile phones and digital media platforms is the new norm and we seldom make raw human interactions / conversations with other people. We may unconsciously hoard non-essential possessions or get into relationships on a whim, involve in activities which are not adding value to your life and also get into debts for securing a future we haven't seen!

In the process of expansion(which we see as Happiness) we are limiting to see and perceive the essentials of our life. To be happy, all one needs is some food, water, shelter, clothing, loving relationships and certain activities which bring out the best in you(well this could be debatable as to how much is enough).

In the past year, I came face to face with Minimalism In Real Life. I attended a residential program which had certain protocols of having just the essentials for a 7 month stay. This brought out the best in me:

Minimalism is not just an attitude, it is a way of life. It is not a one-time thing that you finish off and be done with. It is a continual process of consciously learning and making an effort to bring Minimalism into your life; be it at your work, home, relationships, activities and most importantly within yourself!

Implementing Minimalism at Home, Office, Relationships, Activities, usage of Social Media / TV / OTTs, Community Building

Benefits of Minimalism
