Days for the Divine
Guided by her mentor Megha Bajaj, Meghana Acharya sends positive vibes into the Universe to ensure the well-being and success of others
Thursdays and Sundays are my sacred days. Somehow, life chooses to pour itself into me on these days. Good news knocks on the door, wisdom drops by, miracles roll in, ideas float around, and I’m a little less animalistic. I open my arms wide for something exceptional to happen. By the end of the day, I do find a miracle tucked in somewhere.
Over the years, my mind has been trained to power up my Thursdays. During my college days in Belgaum, it was a mandatory, religious visit to Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir. Shirdi Baba was the faith of many and mine too. On moving to Bengaluru, changing two buses and an auto to get to Vivek Nagar’s church was unmissable, come what may. Even on days it seemed impossible, somehow, I would make it and wink at Infant Jesus. Lighting candles and gazing at the baby filled me with immense love for Jesus and everyone around me. I didn’t know a thing about quietening the mind and stilling the body; all I knew was to pray selfishly or selflessly for my family, friends and humanity in general. This was in 1999. Naively, I believed all my prayers were answered because I went to the temple and church without fail.
Meeting Mahatria
Years later, from 2013 onwards, life also turned Sunday into my holy day. It brought Mahatria, my guru, and me together to experience infinipaths, a satsang held by him, Sunday after Sunday, for the last twenty-nine years. The more I tuned into the path, the more I experienced Sai, Jesus, Allah, and Ram, not only in the prayer halls but also in the chambers of my heart and that of others. I learnt the power of
non-doing. I understood that, in prayer, we communicate with God; in meditation, we are in communion with God.
While other days are equally significant, the mind is deeply attached to Thursdays and Sundays as God days, which translates into transformative days. The animal in me turns a little more human. The more human I become, the more I wish to blossom into the Divine.
On the quest to make it truly count, Thursdays also connect me with my mentor and friend, Megha Bajaj, a national bestseller author and film scriptwriter. She regularly writes for Life Positive, and I am certain she has brought tears of joy to you. Through a Zoom call, her words and silence teleport to me. Sometimes, I catch the essence of a realisation or learning from her instantly and implement it. Some of her daily practices have become mine. Not everything comes easily to me, as consistency is key. I do it for a few days and give it up or get bored. If excellence or continued success is the goal, it has to be backed by consistent striving. That’s what my mentor aces in, and I wish to make it my power too.
What she shared with me on March 28, 2024, was deep, and I put it into practice without a blink.
Every night, Megha prays for a handful of people dear to her. She visualises what they seek and invokes the Universe to grant it to them. After she shared it with me, I pulled out a notebook and wrote down eleven messages.
Praying for others
I also used to pray and wish well for others, but on random days like their birthdays or the days that I read or hear something pleasant or unpleasant related to their lives. Rhonda Byrne’s Magic, when practised for twenty days, had initiated me into focussed prayers for others on certain days. I also did guided processes by Mahatria and Six Phase meditation by Vishen Lakhiani frequently to pass my energy and love to others.
However, after hearing Megha, I chose to put the prayers on paper for 111 days. Writing helps me to focus better and channel my energy intensely.

joy in their hands as I write about them. A kid has topped her class and is looking for a job. I just have to hear her scream on receiving an offer letter from the organisation she deserves to get into. University calls are awaited by some. Watching them dance on freshers’ day is the least I can dream for them. A family is in a dilemma about their move to the UK. Likewise, I know the dreams and anxieties of friends and families. I know what humanity in general needs, and I can fill the cosmos with loving vibes.
I thought I should write a short, affirmative prayer for each one to have clarity on their desires to come to pass and for patience to hold on to faith until it manifests. I tried, and it took only a few minutes to pen it. Additionally, it felt

I chose to do it for 111 days to own the practice by deepening it each day. A year ago, I opted to celebrate one person a day. The roaring success story of one, and the sheer perseverance of another. The joyful heartset of a lover or the happy expressions of a creative soul were noted and cherished for over three months.
The expansion of consciousness
As the days passed, the jubilation got bigger, and my head reeled and seeped in the goodness I inherited from them. Likewise, I choose to send my love and energy to at least eleven or more a day, and as I watch their dreams come true, I know my heart will swell in celebration. After all, we are always the biggest beneficiary of anything sweet that goes out from us.
Thursdays and Sundays were the days I communicated with my Source. Now, in communion, I know my prayers for you and everyone will surely betide. If not answered sooner or later, I will have the maturity to understand that a better plan was chosen for you and me—the one that our limited intelligence could never draw up.
A small drop becomes the ocean. Like Megha, I also believe that every thought and vibration we release for others will help them craft the life

they deserve. Together, we can build a desirable future for others.
One session with Megha guided me to dream for others and myself. Through the practice of solemn unison with my Divine Source, I will contribute to making life beautiful for many. Dear LP readers, I will hold you in my prayers and wish you well in your endeavours.
