Why this blog?

For quite a while, we have been intrigued about the nature of existence. Is existence a reality or a manifestation of something more profound? While life ceremoniously sails on the crests and troughs of gladness and grief, is there a divine nature within our control that could harmonize those moments? Are there directions laid out by our forefathers that assist to overcome our predicaments? 

Certainly, we do not have answers to all of these questions. But we have embarked on a path with childlike curiosity to understand the wisdom of the east and the west. Philosophy and spirituality become natural topics of study in this endeavor and some of our doubts and questions will be presented as perspectives. 

In our limited experience, fine art forms such as poetry, music and commercial art forms such as cinema have helped us explore the troubled waters. Hence there could be some pieces that overlap these art forms and philosophy/spirituality. It is suffice to mention that these art forms would be utilized as aids to approach the broader questions rather than analyze the specific art form itself. 

We believe writing helps to solidify our comprehension, and reaching out to brothers and sisters of this vast universe using the technology available today will enable a joyful discovery.
