Parvati Magazine - February 2017 - Devotion

في هذا العدد

Welcome to the February 2017 edition of Parvati Magazine.
I love words. Maybe that is why I compose and sing songs, write books, and founded this magazine. Words can be a way to share what we are passionate about, even if it is just savouring words themselves.
As a word-lover, I enjoy etymology, that is, the history of words. It was not just my childhood study of Latin and my first language being French that inspired this. Seeing how words evolve helps me appreciate more levels of their meaning. So I had to look up the origin of the word “devotion”, this issue’s theme. I discovered that it goes back to the early 13th century. It is from the Old French word devocion, stemming back to its Latin root devotionem, meaning "to dedicate by a vow, to sacrifice oneself, to promise solemnly".
In this month's issue, you will find articles that inspire you to devote yourself to your true nature. We explore the dedication, the sacrifice and the solemnity that fuels many people around the world to follow their dreams, do what they love and speak their truth.
May you be inspired by this issue to live a life filled with devotion.
Enjoy!
