Sermons & Services:

Worship is where the soul of the congregation breathes. In my preaching, I aim to weave together story, soul, and justice — holding space for both wonder and truth-telling.

My sermons are a statement of my theology and a reflection of my identities and values. While choosing readings, prayers, music, and other elements of worship, I often look to my Hindu roots for inspiration which align beautifully with our UU values. Such integration makes me feel complete and expresses my love for both traditions.

As an educator of students with disabilities for over two decades, I am cognizant of how individuals learn and retain information and therefore using a multi-modal, multi-sensory approach while designing services and curriculum, is important to me. I strive to challenge people through my sermons because, I believe, that it is often through discomfort and critical analysis that we grow. Of course, this comes with trust building and thoughtful research as well as respectful engagement. Humor plays a big role in my life, and I try to inject humor whenever I can, including in my sermons, when appropriate.

Here’s a link to the Sunday Service at First Parish in Concord on 12/28/2025. Sermon Title: “Fireflies and Fungi: What Glows and Grows in the Dark”.

Sermon titled “The Universality of Our Precious Gift” at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church in Medfield; the sermon starts at 15:19.

I was a Keynote Speaker at the “Embracing Differences: Community Building in Interfaith Contexts” Conference. This was the capstone project of the “Religious Women’s Leadership Conference” at the Anna Howard Shaw Center at Boston University School of Theology from January 2025- November 2025. My reflection was on my own interfaith journey titled “My Roller-Coaster (Inter)faith Journey and Why It Matters”. My reflection starts at 37:05.

At the 2025 Fall DRUUMM Caucus, I wrote and presented the following poem on the theme of Transitions.

At the Vigil for Peace and Justice organized by Hindus for Human Rights following the terrorist attacks in Kashmir in May of 2025, I wrote and delivered a “Blessing for Peace Between Neighbors”. The reflection is being used as a resource for interfaith training purposes byTRNP -The Religious Nationalisms Project & Anti-Racism Resources.
