How to See the Light of Good

The greatest teachings I hold dear to my heart are the ones that talk of strength, and in these, the Vedas and the Upanishads are unmatched. I am somewhat averse to those that talk about your guilt, your sin, and by this and that retribution you’ll be freed and be led to your salvation. Such... Sign in to see full entry.

Shakespeare's sparkling genius in Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing is the nearest approach to the Comedy of Errors as practised by William Congreve, where sentiment or passion is conveyed either by indifference or downright contradiction.

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties.

Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
