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.

What happens to the Rebel Angels after their Fall ?

After Satan, Sin and others of his ilk, the fellow rebel angels, are expelled from heaven they fall into Hell. They don’t die (a ‘privilege’ angels are invested with). There, they are found bound by chains in the Lake of Fire. Upon quickly freeing themselves they fly to land, where they discover... Sign in to see full entry.

Story of the Infernal Trinity in Man

Satan was created by God as an angel born in heaven and was called Lucifer, full of dynamism, resourcefulness and verve and at one time the brightest and highest of all angels who nurtured the desire to be God himself instead of being God’s servant. His thought of waging a rebellion against God... Sign in to see full entry.

Lustrous Partneship Eternal

A consortium of stars I saw as if making love squillions of miles Up there in the skies, thrilled, shimmering with twinkling smiles And suddenly with a strange melancholy was I gripped; they only Seemed to be but were not, not near like Jocastas and Creons But distanced, such as imaginable in time...

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?
