About me

ZikareSafar A journey back to the self

Zikaresafar : There was a girl who, after school, would climb the guava tree in the garden her home—not to pluck fruit, but to sit alongside the sky. She would take along a pencil drawing book, and a quiet mind, while the tree’s branches cradled her like an old friend.

A pond shimmered nearby, and on its bank stood a massive Pepal tree, casting a dense shade—standing tall as if a witness to a bygone era. For hours, she would sit in that tree’s embrace, tracing patterns on the ground with a wooden stick; it wasn’t merely art, but a conversation with nature—with the earth, the water, and the breeze.

As evening fell, she would climb the stairs to the roof and gaze out—beyond the village, toward the snow-capped mountains on the horizon. She would search for her own name amidst them, and somehow, somewhere between those distant peaks, she would always find it. That girl was me—Jyoti

Life moved forward with its responsibilities, expectations, and endless noise. While the guava tree, the pond, the Pepal tree, and the mountains remained unchanged, I slowly drifted away from the quiet connection I once shared with nature. Yet deep within, a gentle voice kept asking: What are you doing? Why are you doing this? Where are you going?

Those questions became the turning point of my life. They were not born from sorrow or failure but from a sincere desire to understand myself, rediscover my purpose, and reconnect with the peace I had long forgotten.

My search for answers led me to Rishikesh. Although I had often visited to deepen my yoga practice and become a better teacher, this journey was different—it was for me. In looking inward, I discovered that I feel most alive when I am surrounded by nature, connected to my inner self, and living with mindfulness and purpose.

From this transformation, ZikareSafar was born. More than a name, it is a journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, yoga, creativity, and personal growth. If you, too, have ever questioned your purpose or searched for something beyond the routine of daily life, then perhaps our journeys are not so different. Welcome to my journey. Welcome to ZikareSafar.
