The Nithya Kalyana Perumal temple is about a kilometre and a half from my home. For the last two years, I have been hearing the temple bells from inside my house.</p><p>At first, I did not think much of it. It felt normal. Almost ordinary. But yesterday it truly registered.</p><p>I was indoors, doors closed, moving through a regular day. And there it was again. The bell. Clear. Steady. Familiar. It rings four to five times a day, and each time the sound reaches me without effort. Two years ago, this would not have been possible. I could stand outside and still not hear it. Nothing around me has changed. The distance is the same. The road is the same. The walls are the same.</p><p>What changed was something else.</p><p>When you tune into a vibration, distance quietly disappears.</p><p>It is no different from how we speak on our phones. Someone could be thousands of kilometres away, yet their voice reaches us instantly. If you are not tuned in, there is no connection, only silence.</p><p>That temple bell reminded me how spiritual connection works. When the mind settles and awareness sharpens, subtle things begin to reach you. Not because they became louder, but because you became receptive.</p><p>That realisation brought my attention to something many of us do every single day. We listen to mantras, bhajans, and chants. On televisions, on phones, through forwarded links, random videos from the internet. Most of us assume that if the words are sacred, the sound must automatically be beneficial.</p><p>That is not always true.</p><p>Sound carries more than lyrics. It carries the inner state of the person who created it. If someone is restless, fearful, angry, or disconnected, that vibration is captured in the recording. Even if the prayer itself is ancient and powerful, the energy riding on it can be distorted.</p><p>It is similar to receiving an email with an attachment. Everything looks fine. No warning signs. Yet hidden inside is a virus that quietly drains your system. In the same way, repeated exposure to a poorly charged prayer can slowly affect your space, your mood, and your sense of balance, more so when heard every day.</p><p>This is not meant to create fear. It is meant to create awareness.</p><p>Over the last few years, I have scanned hundreds of recordings through dowsing. Most of them did not pass. A few did. These are my top 3 favourites, in no particular order.</p><p>Budham Saranam Gatchami by Hariharan.</p><p>Om Namah Shivaya by Rajkumar Kamdar from The Divine Sparks.</p><p>Hanuman Chalisa by Rajkumar Kamdar from The Divine Sparks.</p><p>I am sharing these three links on my <a style="color: #28c791; font-weight: bold;" href="https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7SAaVA2pLCbWygMy1P" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WhatsApp channel</a>.</p><p>One practice that has stayed with me is letting these play quietly at night. Very low volume. On loop. Not to actively listen, but to let the vibration settle into the space. Sound reaches places the mind never can.</p><p>Over time, the room feels calmer. Sleep becomes deeper. The mind rests without effort.</p><p>Hearing that temple bell reach my home over the last two years made something very clear to me. We are always surrounded by signals. What reaches us depends entirely on what we tune into.</p><p>May you choose your frequencies with care.</p><p>God bless.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#Dowsing #Dowser #KSharadHaksar #Sound # Frequency</p>						</div>

							<p>This morning I was with my pendulum.<br />I did not ask about work. I did not ask about plans. I did not ask about outcomes.<br />I paused and checked in with myself.<br />Where is my heart today?<br />In yoga, there is a heart chakra called Anahata. It sits right in the middle. Not at the base. Not at the top. It stays there, almost like it is meant to interrupt us when we get carried away with ourselves.<br />The heart chakra is represented as a lotus flower with twelve petals. These petals speak of qualities like love, harmony, empathy, understanding, purity, clarity, compassion, unity, forgiveness, kindness, peace, and bliss. Not ideas meant for theory, but traits that get tested in traffic, in queues, and in everyday conversations.<br />Its colour is green. The same green our eyes naturally rest on. The heart behaves the same way when it is given space. It slows us down.<br />In meditation, the sound linked to Anahata is YAM. We take a deep inhale, and as we exhale, Yaaaammm. There is no force in it. The breath carries the sound. After a few rounds, the sound fades on its own. What remains is quiet.<br />It is this quiet that matters.<br />Taking care of the people near you often goes unnoticed. It slips quietly into daily life without drawing attention.<br />This connects deeply with dowsing. We do not ask questions from a place of feeling. We avoid getting engrossed. The heart shapes how we live, but answers come only from neutrality. The moment wanting enters, things stop being clear.<br />This is where things begin to change. Less about me, more about we. Less noise, more noticing. Less focus on the self, more awareness of the people nearby. Their stillness. Their exhaustion. Their fight. Their struggle.<br />It’s Republic Day.<br />And perhaps freedom is more than laws or geography. Perhaps it begins within us. In breaking the habit of constant self-focus. In remembering to care for ourselves, and to care for those around us a little more than we did yesterday.<br />If the heart is the bridge, today feels like a good day to cross it.<br />From I to us.<br />From ambition to service.<br />From independence to shared responsibility.<br /><br />Happy Republic Day<br /><br />K.Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director<br /><br />#KSharadHaksar #Dowse #Dowsing #HeartChakra #RepublicDay #India</p>						</div>

							<p>Today marks the first Ekadashi of the year.</p><p>Ekadashi occurs on the eleventh day of the lunar cycle and happens twice each month, once during the waxing moon and once during the waning moon. On these days, the moon is in transition, neither fully full nor completely new. Many believe this shifting phase influences the mind more than we realise. That is why Ekadashi is traditionally associated with lighter food, fewer distractions, and a greater inward focus. It is a day dedicated to Vishnu. Naturally, it is a quiet day.</p><p>I was unable to go to the temple this morning because work interfered, and the hours sped by faster than I expected. By the afternoon, I knew I did not want the day to end without darshan. So, I finished up early and left, hoping to arrive just before the temple closed.</p><p>Whenever I go for darshan, I carry my pendulum in a small cloth pouch. Afterwards, I hand it to the pujari, who places it at the feet of the deity for a few moments. The tool I work with is kept there to receive blessings and stay connected to the divine energy.</p><p>After darshan at the main shrine, I walked over to the Thayar sannidhi at Thiruvidanthai Temple. Here, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped as Komalavalli Thayar, the consort of Nithya Kalyana Perumal. This temple is renowned for its blessings related to harmony and relationships. But beyond that, the Thayar shrine radiates a gentleness that words struggle to capture.</p><p>As the priest placed the pouch near the Goddess&#8217;s feet, something unexpected occurred. The pouch opened by itself. The pendulum rolled out and moved all the way forward, coming to rest directly at the feet of the idol.</p><p>I stood there silently, tears gathering. The priest paused, looked at the pendulum, then at me. After a moment, he softly said that the goddess wished to bless it personally.</p><p>On Ekadashi. In a Vishnu temple. At the feet of Lakshmi.</p><p>Dowsing has taught me that not every answer comes through a question. Some moments unfold only when you show sincerity and remain still long enough to notice.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photorapher | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #Ekadashi</p>						</div>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago, my daughter Aarushie called from Bangalore. Theo’s parents, Varsha and Cheeku, were heading out of town and needed someone to watch Theo, their dog.

							<p>A few weeks ago, my daughter Aarushie called from Bangalore. Theo’s parents, Varsha and Cheeku, were heading out of town and needed someone to watch Theo, their dog. She asked gently, though she already knew the answer. If there is a dog involved, my heart usually decides before my head can respond.</p><p>Eight months old. A Maltipoo with a soft, wavy coat, the colour of milky tea, light brown with a warm apricot glow. He had endless energy, always ready to play, always alert, always present. Within no time, he took over my home and quietly found his way into my days. Being around him changed the feel of the place. As a dowser, I could sense it clearly. The house felt lighter. Even my thoughts slowed down.</p><p>His meals were fixed. Eight in the morning. Two in the afternoon. Eight at night. I set alarms on my phone, and soon he made the connection. The moment the alarm rang, he would jump up and sit in his spot, eyes locked on me. I would delay saying the word FOOD just to watch that look. Pure focus. Pure trust.</p><p>He was beautifully trained. Sit, lie down, high fives, swirl, and wait. That calm discipline was clearly Varsha’s doing, shaped patiently, without force, and filled with quiet love.<br />.</p><p>With Theo around, my own routine changed. I was walking three times a day again. Morning, afternoon, night. Without even noticing, I dropped two kilos. He loved the walks, but what drew my attention was his fascination with Durva grass.</p><p>I knew Durva only from my spiritual practice. It is the same sacred grass offered to Lord Ganesha. People believe it carries purity and renewal. There is a story that when Ganesha once swallowed a fiery demon, his body grew unbearably hot, and nothing could soothe him until Durva was placed on him. Since then, the grass has been seen as a natural healer. Its roots are believed to house Brahma, the middle of the blade Vishnu, and the tip Shiva. Three forces that are contained within something so small. It is used in rituals to invite calm, balance, and clarity into a space.</p><p>I found it beautiful that Theo was drawn to it every single time we stepped out. As if he sensed something sacred in it. He would stop, sniff it, gently nibble at it, and chew it with quiet focus, almost as if he was greeting it in his own way.</p><p>He came with me to work every day. In the car, no matter where I placed him, he always found his way back to my lap. That was where he chose to be. My office is near the beach, so I always take the longer route. I lowered the windows and let the sea breeze rush in. He loved it. The wind moved through his fur, his nose tilted slightly upward, eyes half closed, completely present in that moment.</p><p>During office hours, we always found time to walk on the sand. He sniffed his way across the beach with complete focus, nose close to the ground, as if the world was speaking to him through scent alone.</p><p>As the days passed, the thought of him leaving began to hurt. Years ago, Ratika and I had a pug named Gizmo who lived with us for fourteen years. Losing him was the reason we never brought another dog home. Anyone who has loved a dog knows this. The years are full of joy. It is the goodbye that stays with you. Spending time with Theo reopened a part of me I thought was done grieving. The joy they bring, day after day, is impossible to explain until you live it again.</p><p>Yesterday, Varsha and Cheeku came to pick him up. Watching them arrive filled me with relief and heaviness at the same time. When it was time to put Theo into the car, my hands hesitated. I do not remember the last time I cried that much.<br />.<br />That moment took me back many years. The day after I married Ratika, we were driving from Bangalore to Chennai after the wedding. Her dog, Bambi, a German Shepherd, jumped into the car and refused to get out. She sensed Ratika was leaving. Standing there yesterday, sending Theo back to his home, that image came rushing back. Ratika is in the car. Bambi is holding her ground. The tears in her parents’ eyes. The same ache returned. The kind that comes from love, not loss.</p><p>Soon after Theo left, I went to the temple. I was walking around quietly when a young married couple approached me. They introduced themselves and said they were from Bangalore. They wanted to know what pooja could be done to be blessed with a child. I listened and answered as best as I could.</p><p>As they walked away, the connections began to appear gently. Theo’s parents were from Bangalore. This couple was from Bangalore. And many years ago, my own marriage had begun there. A city tied to beginnings. To unions. To the quiet hope of life taking shape.</p><p>I do not know if it was a coincidence or something else, but standing there, it felt like the day had come full circle. A dog returning home. A couple hoping for a child. Memories of a marriage that once started the same way. Different stories, the same thread.</p><p>Now, when I go to the temple, I also pray that Varsha and Cheeku keep going on longer holidays, so that I can spend a little more time with Theo.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>What Theo Left Behind &#8211; Read the full story in the slides…</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #Maltipoo #Dog</p>						</div>

							<p>Last night, I gathered all my semi-precious stones and crystals and placed them carefully on the balcony&#8217;s parapet, open to the night sky. One by one, each piece found its place. Alongside them, I kept a glass bottle of drinking water. I have done this for the past two years. Every full moon, without fail, I take the crystals out to recharge, letting them rest under the moonlight.</p><p>January 3rd is the first full moon of 2026. The peak will be at 3:34 pm in Chennai, right in the middle of the afternoon, when the moon is invisible to us. So I set my alarm for 5 am. That hour, just before sunrise, is when the moon feels closest. It is still night, yet the world is already preparing to wake up.</p><p>I stepped out with my pendulum while the sky was still holding on to its darkness. I did my clearing slowly, without rushing it. After that, I sat down and chanted Om 108 times. There was no effort to reach anywhere. Just breath, sound, and awareness.</p><p>The moon this morning was red-orange, soft and warm, growing larger as it slid toward the horizon. As I finished my chanting and opened my eyes, it disappeared behind passing clouds. For a few seconds, there was only the sky.</p><p>Then the clouds moved, and the moon showed itself again. Some moments gain value only when they leave and come back.</p><p>I have always been drawn to the sky. Stars, planets, the sun, and the moon have held my attention since childhood. The more I learn, the more it doesn’t feel accidental.</p><p>The sun’s diameter is about 13,92,700 kilometres. The moon’s diameter is about 3,474 kilometres. That makes the sun roughly 400 times larger than the moon. What makes this even more remarkable is the distance. The sun is also about 400 times farther away from us than the moon. Because these two ratios are so close, the sun and the moon appear almost the same size in our sky. This is what makes a total solar eclipse possible, when the moon can cover the sun so precisely that daylight briefly turns into dusk. If those numbers were even slightly different, that alignment would never happen.</p><p>While the Sun–Moon relationship works on a ratio of about 400, the number 108 appears elsewhere in ways that are just as striking. The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is close to 108 times the Sun’s diameter, and the distance from the Earth to the Moon is close to 108 times the Moon’s diameter. These are not exact matches, but they are close enough to have been noticed long before modern instruments.</p><p>In Vedic thought, 108 comes from nine planets moving through twelve zodiac signs. Ayurveda speaks of 108 marma points in the human body. Yogic traditions talk of 21,600 breaths a day, divided evenly between solar and lunar cycles. A mala carries 108 beads for the same reason. The number shows up in the sky, in the body, and in daily rhythm, not as proof of anything, but as a pattern quietly worth noticing.</p><p>As a photographer, this never stops astonishing me. On a full moon night, if you shoot a long exposure, the landscape can look almost like it was photographed during the day. The shadows fall sharp and defined, the details remain, and only the colour of the sky gives the time away. The moon acts like a massive white reflector, bouncing sunlight back to Earth. It does not produce light of its own. It simply returns what it receives.</p><p>That, to me, feels symbolic. The moon does not compete with the sun. It complements it. It’s a small reminder that reflected light can still show the way.</p><p>In Hinduism, this full moon is known as Pausha Purnima. It is traditionally associated with cleansing, restraint, prayer, and inner realignment. Pausha itself speaks of nourishment and quiet strengthening. A calmer pace instead of noise. A moment to set the tone gently, without rushing.</p><p>God Bless</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #Spirituality #FullMoon</p>						</div>

							<p>A few days ago, I was at the Nithya Kalyana Perumal temple in Thiruvidanthai. It was 5:45 in the morning. The light was soft and unsure, that brief window when the night has not fully left and the day has not yet arrived. The moon was still visible, about five days before it would become full, carrying most of its brightness as it hung low in the morning sky.</p><p>Once every year, the idols here remain covered for nearly a month. On Ekadashi, the screen is removed, and the deity is brought out again. This year, that day fell on 30 December. For devotees, it is a deeply significant moment.</p><p>What caught me off guard was the number of people. There must have been hundreds already waiting. Some had arrived much earlier. The air carried a calm expectancy. People stood quietly, eyes fixed on the closed gates.</p><p>Even before the gates opened, something stood out.</p><p>Almost every hand was already raised, holding a mobile phone.</p><p>There were no camera clicks. No shutter sounds. Just glowing screens. Video mode. Everyone recording. Arms stretched out, phones held high, waiting for the first glimpse.</p><p>Very few were actually looking directly.</p><p>Standing there, I felt an odd emptiness. Not because people were missing, but because attention was missing. Bodies were present, but awareness had drifted elsewhere. To WhatsApp groups. To Instagram stories. To people who were not there.</p><p>Watching this, I realised how much of the moment was slipping away.</p><p>When you are fully present, you are not thinking about who will see this later. You are not deciding where it will be shared. You are simply there. Breath steady. Senses open.</p><p>That morning, many had already stepped out of the experience without moving an inch.</p><p>As a dowser, I notice small shifts that most people overlook. Sacred spaces carry a certain charge, especially during rituals like this. That charge becomes steadier when people arrive quietly and pay attention. It thins out when attention is pulled in many directions.</p><p>Watching through a phone changes how the body reacts. The mind moves into handling mode. You begin managing the scene instead of letting it reach you. You turn into an observer of a screen rather than a participant in the ritual.</p><p>Research in cognitive science points to this as well. When we film instead of observing, memory settles less deeply. The brain stays occupied with framing and adjusting. The experience does not sink in the same way.</p><p>From a spiritual point of view, the difference is even clearer.</p><p>A ritual is not meant to be stored. It is meant to be received. The chants, the timing, and the shared quiet all work on you only if you allow them to. Energy may come through a screen, but it carries far less weight than when you are physically there.</p><p>You can watch the recording later, but what was available at that time cannot be fully brought back.</p><p>I did not take my phone out. I never do.</p><p>I stood there quietly. I watched with my eyes. I stayed with my breath. I let the moment pass through me instead of trying to hold it.</p><p>It lasted only a few minutes. But those minutes stayed.</p><p>I came back without a video. Without a photograph. But with something that sat with me long after.</p><p>A quiet fullness that does not need to be shared.</p><p>Presence cannot be forwarded. It cannot be replayed. It only exists when you choose to stay.</p><p>And in places like temples, that is where the real blessing lives.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #Spirituality #Temple</p>						</div>

							<p>There’s a gentle quality to 2026 that feels different from recent years.</p><p>In numerology, the year resolves to 1. A new cycle. Not an impulsive beginning, but one shaped by lived experience. The sort of start that comes after you have seen enough to make quieter, better choices.</p><p>This is a year that responds to clear intent and has little patience for confusion. Things that no longer belong tend to surface early, either as quiet realisations or unmistakable moments. At the same time, decisions that sit comfortably tend to move ahead with thoughtful progress instead of pushing or straining.</p><p>2026 also marks the beginning of a fresh nine-year arc. What starts now often carries forward for years, shaping direction in ways that only become clear with time. Because of this, many will lean toward simplicity, less noise, and a steadier focus, instead of being caught in endless activity.</p><p>Even the calendar offers a quiet cue.<br />26-02-2026, written as 26022026, reads almost like a mirror. A gentle sign of reflection, proportion, and natural order built into the year itself.</p><p>As the year takes shape, may you begin what holds real value.<br />May your choices feel settled and grounded.<br />May your direction feel steady and grounded in reality.</p><p>Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, rooted, and meaningful New Year.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #2026 #Numerology</p>						</div>

							<p>For most of my life, my circle was small.<br />It began with me, extended to my immediate family, and rarely went beyond that.<br />What I wanted. What I needed. What mattered to me.</p><p>Gradually, a different awareness began to surface.<br />We are not placed here only to consume.</p><p>You are born into a home that existed before you arrived. You enter with nothing in your hands, yet everything needed for life is already there. The air moves through the rooms so you can breathe. Sunlight finds its way in during the day. Water flows when you turn the tap. Shelter is in place before you ever think about safety. You grow up without pausing to ask who designed it this way or who keeps it working, day after day.</p><p>As the years pass, awareness deepens. You start noticing signs of neglect. You realise that places stay functional only when someone takes responsibility. Clean surroundings remain that way through effort. Sacred places survive because someone chooses to step in at the right time. On an inner level, this brings humility. In real terms, it calls for action. You stop walking past what is damaged. You step forward. You fix what you can. You safeguard what supports life. Giving back begins to feel instinctive rather than forced.</p><p>Mother Earth works the same way.<br />Every one of us shares the same shelter.</p><p>Close to where I live, there is a small village temple with a water tank beside it. In earlier days, it was woven into everyday life around it. Slowly, it slipped into neglect. The water was polluted. The space was being misused. On a quiet day, an ambulance was standing nearby. The stretcher was being washed inside the tank. That sight did not leave me.</p><p>I got the tank cleaned recently.<br />The next phase is to install a proper fence around the tank so that it is protected from misuse.</p><p>I would like to invite you to participate.</p><p>Every Monday, I will open my dowsing work for those who are looking for direction. You may bring a question, or more than one, whatever feels right to you. Each question is scanned separately. The contribution is Rs. 590 per question. All funds received through this effort will be used to clean up and improve the surrounding village and the temple area.</p><p>I have been working with dowsing for four years now. The pendulum responds to a question with a clockwise movement, indicating yes, or an anticlockwise movement, indicating no.</p><p>Some common questions you can ask&#8230;<br />Is this the right time to buy something important?<br />Should I move ahead with a project now?<br />Is my home or office aligned correctly according to Vastu?<br />Does a particular number support me, based on numerology?</p><p>If discretion matters to you, you are not required to share details. You may simply say that you have a question in mind and ask me to scan.</p><p><b>ENERGY EXCHANGE<br />Rs. 590 per question (Rs. 500 + 18% GST)<br /></b>All funds will go towards cleaning, maintaining, and improving the nearby village and temple surroundings.</p><p><b>HOW TO TAKE PART<br /></b>Send your payment via GPay to 88 689 689 33 (this is my company 689 account).<br />In the notes, write the permission in the following format:</p><p>“I, (your full name), give permission to K Sharad Haksar to scan for me for the following question.<br />With the Divine Healing Grace of God, all aspects considered, in the highest good of all concerned, (your question).”</p><p><b>TURNAROUND TIME<br /></b>Answers will be shared within 24 to 48 hours.</p><p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE<br /></b>Dowsing works within the boundary of free will. I scan only for you, or for your children who are below 18 years of age. I do not scan on behalf of other adults.<br />If the indication is that a scan should not be done, the payment will be returned without delay.</p><p>This effort is not only about receiving direction but also about offering something back to the place that has quietly supported us all along.</p><p>God bless,</p><p>K Sharad Haksar</p><p>Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #SpiritualJourney #GivingBack #SacredSpaces #TempleLife #InnerGuidance #ConsciousLiving #PurposeDriven #EnergyWork #CommunityCare</p>						</div>

							<p>A few days ago, I was at a friend’s place for dinner. Nothing planned, just a normal evening with phones on the table and food being served. At one point, my friend was going through his WhatsApp messages on his iPhone and suddenly stopped.</p><p>He had opened a chat from a relative who had passed away recently.</p><p>I told him what I usually do. After someone passes on, I remove their contact and also remove the connection on social media. Not because I want to forget them. It just feels wrong to keep that line active. So I asked him to delete the contact.</p><p>He tried, but the delete button option was not there for this contact.</p><p>We thought it must have been some phone sync or settings issue. Another friend picked up her iPhone. She searched for contacts of relatives and friends who were no longer around. She had seven or eight of them and tried deleting them.</p><p>She could not delete a single one. A shiver ran up my spine.</p><p>She then tried deleting a few other contacts, almost as a test, and those worked perfectly. The delete option showed up immediately.</p><p>No one said anything for a bit.</p><p>To check further, I took out my phone. I realised there was a contact of someone who had passed on that I had forgotten to remove earlier. I opened it and deleted it straight away, without any delay or issue.</p><p>Working with dowsing has made me notice moments like this. After a person leaves the physical world, the body goes, but the connection does not always stop. It lingers through past experiences, emotional traces, and habits we do not question.</p><p>Sometimes through a phone contact.</p><p>Every time that name shows up, there is a reaction, even if you tell yourself there isn’t. A pause, a thought that cuts in and then disappears.</p><p>For those still here, this can keep things unsettled longer than needed. For the one who has moved on, it can feel like something still holding on.</p><p>Deleting a contact does not remove love. It does not wipe away what was shared. It only recognises that the relationship now exists somewhere else.</p><p>Earlier, people handled this in other ways. Homes were cleaned, clothes were moved, and objects were given away. No long explanations, just action.</p><p>Now, a lot of this sits quietly inside our phones.</p><p>Kindly check your iPhone sometime. Find a contact of someone who is no longer around. Try deleting it and just notice.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#LettingGo #GriefHealing #SpiritualAwakening #EnergyHealing #LifeAfterDeath #Mindfulness #HealingJourney #KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing</p>						</div>

							<p>I run my own branding and brand naming company using dowsing, and yet my own life took years to get a simple thing right.</p><p>My name is K Sharad Haksar. I am a Brahmin, from a Kashmiri Pandit family, traditionally devoted to Lord Shiva. Eating non-vegetarian food was never a big issue for us, except for beef, of course. A cold place with harsh winters and limited food choices. You eat what is available. Much like how Bengali families have always eaten fish without it becoming a debate about faith.</p><p>I was born in Madras. So among my Kashmiri relatives, I was always the Madrasi. That label stuck quite happily.</p><p>For most of my life, I ate non-veg without thinking twice. I even had a theory to defend it. If you really care about nature, do not cut plants. Eat meat. At the time, it sounded clever. Now it just sounds like something I said to try and win arguments.</p><p>Somewhere along the way, I stopped. I noticed that on days I had not eaten meat, my dowsing felt more accurate. My mind felt quieter. My energy felt clearer. Eggs went out as well. I just paid attention to what worked better and stayed with it.</p><p>That is when things got interesting.</p><p>I was suddenly the only vegetarian in the family tree. Which meant my Kashmiri relatives decided I needed a new title. The Madrasi was officially knighted as The Tam Bram. No ceremony. Just family humour.</p><p>Here is the funny part.</p><p>The Haksar surname is officially traced to a village called Hakchar in the Baramulla district. That is the accepted explanation. End of story.</p><p>But growing up, I always heard another version. That Haksars were linked to Haak, the Kashmiri leafy vegetable, and that farmers who grew it came to be called Haksars. No book. No article. Just something that gets passed around in conversations.</p><p>So, whether it is history or coincidence, I find it amusing that a man who argued for meat most of his life is now a vegetarian, while carrying a surname that keeps reminding him of a green leafy vegetable.</p><p>This is also why, when someone comes to me for a brand name, a logo, or any design work, I do not rush it. Every step is checked with dowsing, from the first thought to the outcome. It is never just about how something looks or sounds. I look at how it sits with the business and what kind of energy it carries for the people who will interact with it every day. When the energy is positive, it does not need to be forced. It starts working on its own.</p><p>Branding does that to you. Names do that to you.</p><p>If my pendulum had a voice, it would probably say, Took you long enough.</p><p>K Sharad Haksar<br />Dowser | Photographer | Creative Director</p><p>#KSharadHaksar #Dowser #Dowsing #Branding #BrandNaming #EnergyMatters #ConsciousBranding #BrandStrategy #EntrepreneurLife #FounderLife #IndianBusiness #BrandIdentity #IntuitiveBusiness #PositiveEnergy #BrandStory #PersonalJourney #CreativeThinking</p>						</div>
