A shower of joy,
A rainfall of vitality,
The union of soul and spirit—
This is the special essence
Of Rutu Hirwa (The Green Season).

Rutu Hirwa

Six seasons, six celebrations—where awareness dissolves,
Upon this life, upon this living, one learns to fall in love a hundred times over.

Just like these lines suggest, the words in this book will inspire you to live life with joy, enthusiasm, and faith.

This book will motivate you to forget the sorrows of life and face challenges with courage.

Each season has a different color,
A unique fragrance of emotions—
Showers of awareness that blossom
The garden of life within the mind.

Just as nature’s colors change with different seasons,
So do the colors of the mind change with circumstances.

At times, sorrow feels like the scorching heat of summer.
At times, hope sprouts and spring blooms within the heart.
Sometimes, love pours down like rain and the monsoon is felt within.
At other times, the chill of winter is experienced like the season of Shishir.

When the mind is colored in happiness, the season of Hemant blossoms within.
And sometimes, the rains of Sharad (autumn) emerge in the heart.

The cycle of seasons within the mind keeps changing.

But one thing never changes—awareness.

Through this awareness, one can experience inner peace, stability, contentment, and fulfillment.

This book awakens that very awareness, making life joyful and meaningful.
It transforms one’s perspective on life into a positive one.

This book will help you realize the awareness of joy within yourself.

In the flow of this awareness, all your sorrows will be washed away.

Rutu Hirwa—a book that nurtures happiness, contentment, peace, and self-confidence—
Is truly like a divine blessing.
