Welcome to MERRYMONK.ME

My New Home!

by Merry Monk

I offer all my writings, at the feet of my Guru, Om Swami ji. By whose Grace alone, this life is now full of peace, bliss, and much, much merriment!

Dear reader, welcome to my new home! Thank you to YOU, too, for being here.

Come on in, settle down and make yourself comfortable.

If you’ve read my posts before, welcome back! If you’re new, here is where we’ll get to know each other; where I’ll tell you about my life – my struggles, my huge and small mistakes and victories, and where I’ll share with you my learnings.

Here is where I hope you might discover a bit more about yourself too. Because, in our shared experiences, when we see that we are not alone in our pains and joys, we open ourselves up to healing and possibilities beyond imagination.

If you’d like to read my story of going from Britain to Bollywood to bliss, I write it all, no-holds-barred all in my autobiographical series Confessions of a Merry Monk. You can begin at Chapter 1 here.

If you enter your email address in Subscribe below, you’ll receive an email every time I publish a new post. It’s completely free.

And, if you’re not entirely sick of my rambling and can tolerate some more, I sometimes post photos and updates on Wildr. You can find details at the bottom of the page.

I hope from the Merry Monk you will be able to see that it is possible to smoothly sail through the waves of anger, sadness, guilt, self-doubt, greed and all the other emotions that stop us from living up to our fullest potential. It is possible to completely transform our lives. It is possible to feel divinity in every moment.

All gratitude to Swami ji for allowing me to begin writing in 2020 on His blog os.me, for giving me the courage and confidence to start this blog The Merry Monk and for sending the right people to me to make it happen. I knew nothing about blogging and websites when I started this so I am extremely grateful for all the help.

Writing on os.me was a healing balm for me and continue to heal and grow with each post that I write here. I pray my blog posts inspire and help you too.

No matter how difficult the circumstances, there is always hope. 

Your love, encouragement and support are never forgotten.

Happy reading and may Divine Grace be upon us all.

Enjoy my new home 🙂

With His Grace,

Sushree Diya Om

🧡

Prachi Kolte April 22, 2023 - 9:44 am

Congratulations Sushree ji! Your new home looks so cool! Working on it you must have learned so much!
So well written about being able to sail smoothly through the waves of our afflictions. How I too dream of it!
Pranam🙏

Merry Monk April 22, 2023 - 10:26 am

Thank you, dear Prachi ji. Yes, it was totally new and I’m enjoying learning. It’s completely possible to sail through, Prachi ji. It’s taken me years to get there with the heavy bank of nasty stuff to unload. All we have to do is imbibe Swami ji’s teachings into everything we do. Eventually a new you steps forward. Anyone can do it. As Swami ji says, transformation happens in miniscule increments. All we have to do is never give up trying. He’s with us all the way! Jai Sri Hari!

Sangita April 27, 2023 - 12:20 am

Thank you for inviting me and making me part of it. Love your writings. I am very lucky that I have found you. Jay Shri Hari🙏

Merry Monk April 30, 2023 - 10:22 am

Dear Sangita ji, thank you for the love and such kindness in your words. We are so blessed to have Swami ji’s Grace and Guidance, without which I wouldn’t have been here to tell the tale. May Bhagwan’s Grace always be upon you. Jai Sri Hari!

Irene April 27, 2023 - 7:39 pm

Dear Diya ji, recalling your story must be painful for you, on many levels, but going through your life story and writing about it, all this pain will disappear and you will feel lighter and free. Each story you experienced is part of your personal experience, good and bad, nobody can judge you, nobody can completely understand what you went through. You are a besutiful (in the real sense) person with a big heart and a strong will. May om Swamiji’s Grace always be upon you. Lots of love. ❤️
With his Grace . ❤️ Jai Sri Hari!

Merry Monk April 30, 2023 - 11:44 am

Dearest Irene Mata ji, it used to be. But Swami ji has done something magical to my mind. It no longer bothers me the way it used to. In fact nothing does. And so many tests have come my way recently, so I am actually able to gauge my progress. Thank you for your love, support, blessings and everything, dear Mata ji. May Swami ji Grace always be upon you too! My love to everyone there, all the people, all the trees and plants and creatures. Om Swami ji ki Jai! Jai Sri Hari!

Dear Sushree Diyaji,

With Swamiji’s blessings not only are you on the right path, you would also act as a beacon for many young fellow travellers.
Look forward to remaining in touch and reading more of your nuggets.
