바카라˜Aashiqui바카라™ actress Anu Aggarwal바카라™s name may evoke glamour and musicals of the 1990s, but in the millennial age, she seems more comfortable with her new profile as a yoga therapist, author and motivational speaker. Her dictionary is no longer replete with words like 바카라˜modelling바카라™, 바카라˜Bollywood바카라™ and 바카라˜Cinema바카라™, they have now been replaced with words like 바카라˜gods바카라™, 바카라˜Kaliyuga바카라™ and 바카라˜spiritualism바카라™.

The actress, however, believes in following mindful spiritualism. She says, 바카라œCovid-19, in my view, has issued a massive warning to all of us to be more self-caring as well as caring for others around us. We need to be more careful than before, for the safety of ourselves, our loved ones and all those around us. I find that caring for others ensures that you are cared for, by default.바카라

It is her wish that people follow that when they celebrate festivals, too, including Ganesh Chaturthi which is already underway.

Aggarwal, who became a household name following the blockbuster success of her musical debut film 바카라˜Aashiqui바카라™, is quite aware of the importance of the Ganpati festival in Mumbai. Talking about her own relationship with the elephant-headed deity, she says, 바카라œI totally adore Him and have even composed a bhajan in his name when I studied Dhrupad music. Ganpati is one of the most influential Gods in Kaliyuga - the Dark Ages -- according to the Hindu time cycle. He is an amazing force that reckons with our sorrow and helps us overcome the challenges life poses.바카라

City-watchers expect the Ganpati celebrations to be huge this year as there was a lull during the pandemic years. 바카라œI find Ganpati festival to be cute, but its celebrations could cause inconvenience to others,바카라 says Aggarwal, adding, 바카라œI am totally all for the reverence of the super-force we call 바카라˜God바카라™, but nowhere does He ask us to be insensitive, environmentally unconscious, or disrespectful to others, in his name.바카라

Aggarwal doesn't wish to enjoy the Ganpati festival in the way everyone celebrates it. 바카라œI don바카라™t need to buy an image with paper money and bring it to my house to show my spirituality,바카라 she says, adding, 바카라œMy Ganpati Bappa resides in my heart. He is there with me, and always protects me!바카라
