The Union of Love and Love's Soul

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. Many a times not even the incense sticks were burned. Venus, the goddess of beauty to the Greeks as Aphrodite,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Strength of the Resolute Unbending Spirit

If interested, you can see the poem here- http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/michael-a-pastoral-poem/l. I enjoyed these 484 lines classic. W ordsworth’s poem “Michael” occurs in Lyrical Ballads (1800). The poem’s sub-title “A pastoral poem” indicates that the poet is consciously rejecting the... Sign in to see full entry.

My Crush Deride

I was a child then, no, childish, not a child Adolescent, yes, but somewhat blunt and wild The maiden of my dreams, my neighbor Would often come over, no acknowledgments ever To cause my imaginings the most uneasy labor When gone, she’d leave behind a blazing fever Our house was ancient, she walked...

INTROSPECTION: Dialogue with Self

Tethered I was in a strange kingdom A kingdom of the obscure Somber A hearty welcome greeted me from The recesses of a dank cave Cold and dark … ” Lemme outta here!” Cried I Oh no, said the voice “Remember The last Jan you came and I tried to show you your enclave? And Like a recalcitrant linkless... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ghosts

tt took me almost ten months to complete reading Ghosts. I share with you all, the gist of my Ibsenianism!! “ Ghosts”, meaning “those who come back” refers to people, ideas or beliefs from the past that affects life in the present. The prevalence of such “ghosts” is a major theme in the Norwegian... Sign in to see full entry.

The Mystic Song Divine

With wondrous eyes I see the Danse macabre And hear sounds of life and death’s rattling sabre Going on incessantly without any pause, Are there no full stops nor no commas? No sir, because When the cosmic cycle of Nature breathes Life, and death-plays, are invariably in harmonious ease And it is... Sign in to see full entry.

Religion and Spirituality

( Since the last few days we dwelt in detail on the subject of Paradse Lost, a lot of talk has been on Hell, Heaven, Satan, God, Sin and Death etc. I, therefore, today, wish to throw some more light as I understand these). There is clear demarcation between religion and spirituality. Spirituality is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Nature and Concept of Hell in Paradise Lost

Modem critics have held many different views of Milton’s Paradise Lost. Among these the major objection has been that the Book, a twelve volume epic, is militantly Christian and does not adhere to diverse viewpoints of the modern age. Milton’s religious views are actually a mirror of the age in... Sign in to see full entry.

Satan’s Travel through Space for reaching the Newly-Created World -- Earth

After the encounter with Sin and Death, Satan and Sin, looking out from the gates of Hell, see the boundless space of Night and Chaos. This is an illimitable ocean where “length and breadth and height and time and place are lost”. Chaos and Night are the ancestors of Nature, the stuff from which... Sign in to see full entry.

Satan's Encounter with Sin and Death

After the council of the fallen angels dissolves, Satan, on his way to the newly-constructed world, flies towards the Gates of Hell which are made of three layers of brass, three layers of iron, and three of adamantine. Before the gates, there sat on either side a formidable shape. One, Sin, seems... Sign in to see full entry.

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?
