This basically means “I am That, That is me.” And to me, in many ways, this phrase defined my Shreyas experience.
To begin with, Shreyas offers you just the right environment to embark upon your inner journey. Spread over 25 acres of lush green, Shreyas surprisingly has only 12 cottages – which accommodates upto 25-30 guests at any given time. Simply put, this suggests that each guest has an acre to herself. For space strangulated Mumbaikars like me, where we look out of our windows only to bump our noses with our neighbours, this created a sense of liberation – much needed for my cramped mind.
Greeted with a garland beset with mogra flowers (grown in their own gardens, I am told), and a teeka on my forehead, I felt I was living the words that so define Indian culture “Atithi Devo Bhavaye” (Our guests are like Gods for us) as I entered Shreyas. The tented garden cottage, the earthy interiors, the shower facing my own private garden, the porch overlooking the azure swimming pool – all begins to cast its spell on me.
