About the Author
I write here as a practitioner—openly, imperfectly, and with care.
My name is Aadi, and Drift Into Now is a quiet space shaped by lived practice rather than theory. This site grew out of a personal need to return—again and again—to presence, especially during periods of uncertainty, restlessness, and inner noise.
My path has been most deeply influenced by mindfulness and Vajrayana Buddhism. Long before I understood traditions, texts, or frameworks, mindfulness offered something immediate and honest: a way to meet experience without escape. It became a steady ground when the mind was unsettled, and it remains one of the gentlest and most reliable ways I know to return to the present moment.
While Vajrayana informs much of the symbolism, ritual sensitivity, and depth reflected here, this is not a teaching platform, nor a representation of any lineage or institution. What appears on this site is shaped by practice, reflection, silence, and direct experience—shared humbly, without claim of authority.
I was born into the rich spiritual currents of Hindu culture, and those roots still inform how I relate to the sacred: through mantra, reverence, and inner devotion. Over time, these influences have met naturally with Buddhist contemplative practice, not as a contradiction, but as a lived convergence centered on awareness, compassion, and presence.
This site exists as an offering—to the Now, and to those who feel called to pause, breathe, and remember something already whole within themselves. If these words help you slow down, feel more present, or reconnect with awareness even briefly, then their purpose is fulfilled.
