Being healthy is natural. So is being non-violent intrinsic to man. Sounds odd, doesn’t it? Have you ever wondered sickness is a visitor that comes and goes, but is not within us. It comes from outside. Similarly, all violence is acquired from outside. Therefore, our striving to be non-violent too,... Sign in to see full entry.

West Wind: The Incantatory Music of Shelley’s Language

Shelley‘s "Ode to the West Wind" first appeared in the Prometheus Unbound volume in 1820, signifying man’s acquittal from thraldom: the wind, building up into a tempest, is another freedom for Nature.

Olympian heirarchy’s loveliest maiden

In the days of the old, it so happened that men on earth started paying homage less and less to the temple of Aphrodite; it went increasingly unprayed and its altar uncleaned from neglect.

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. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. 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?
