Today I thought I’d share some images that I photographed of smiling and laughing children during my many travels to India. These pictures remind me of my favorite quote from my guru, Gurudeva Subramuniyaswami: “Life is meant to be lived joyously.” I always jokingly say that life goes up and down like the number of my Instagram followers but whether life is up or down we should never stop striving to live life joyously. I hope seeing these happy kids — who so enjoyed being photographed — brings you joy today.
