GAIA’S OWN
Gaia’s Own: Every Child’s Guide to Living in Harmony with Nature
by Dharshana Bajaj
“…whether there is really any impending threat or if the changes are all part of the natural process, I see this scenario as an invitation for all of us, yes, ordinary citizens like me and even children like you, to reestablish our lost connection with Nature…”
~ Grandpa Yogesh

GULMOHAR DREAMS
“We cannot choose what scars we get or how deep they run … but we can decide if we wish to bleed till eternity or stand up, wipe ourselves clean, and walk toward the light, love, and peace. Toward our own Gulmohar Dreams.”
~ Dharshana Bajaj
In Gulmohar Dreams, Dharshana Bajaj presents a hybrid work that is part memoir, part diary, and part eco-spiritual manifesto. Structured as a series of intimate letters addressed to the Universe, the book traces the protagonist Mia’s journey from personal despair to creative rebirth and, ultimately, to a renewed sense of global responsibility.
The opening chapters reveal a woman fractured by childhood trauma, marital breakdown, and lingering self-doubt. What begins as journaling in solitude at an artists’ retreat gradually transforms into something larger: an exploration of the role of art, spirituality, and ecological awareness in healing both the self and the planet. Along the way, Mia’s voice is enriched by reflections on thinkers such as Thoreau, John Muir, and Paulo Coelho, as well as profiles of contemporary eco-activists from Bali to India.
Bajaj’s most striking achievement is the way she weaves the personal with the planetary. A confession about a childhood wound might sit beside a meditation on twin flames, which in turn flows into a reflection on plastic pollution or grassroots NGOs. At its best, this creates a sense of resonance: the healing of the inner landscape is inseparable from the healing of the Earth.
The style is meditative and repetitive, anchored by the refrain “Thank you, dear Universe.” This devotional cadence gives the book a prayer-like quality The book is a journal of transformation. For readers attuned to its wavelength—those who seek a blend of spirituality, inspiration, and ecological consciousness — it offers a sincere, uplifting testament.
In the end, Gulmohar Dreams reads not just as Mia’s story, but as a call to action: an invitation to live with gratitude, courage, and responsibility in the face of personal and planetary crises. Bajaj writes with vulnerability and hope, reminding us that to heal ourselves and to heal the Earth are not separate tasks, but two branches of the same root.
