We’ve all known people whose behaviour puzzles us — the colleague who dominates every conversation, the friend who constantly seeks praise, the family member who withdraws at the first hint of conflict.

What does it mean to love — not merely to be stirred by another, but to be wholly transformed by something that dissolves the self? In India’s vast spiritual and literary inheritance, love appears in many guises: as tender devotion, mischievous play, fearless surrender, or a secret alchemy meant to strip away ego. From Krishna’s

Human history is not only a record of inventions and empires—it is a story of ideas. From the philosophical streets of Athens to the quiet ashrams of India and the riverbanks of ancient China, humanity has long sought meaning not only in how we live, but in why we live as we do.

In the Indian subcontinent, deep divisions persist—not only between Hindus and Muslims, but within their own communities—fuelled by pride in religion, caste, or sect. This pride is often treated as a badge of honour, inherited without question, and used to elevate the self while belittling others. Yet behind this pride lies an uncomfortable truth: none

The nature of divinity—whether singular, plural, transcendent, or immanent—has perennially occupied the frontier of metaphysical thought. This inquiry seeks not dogma but ontological clarity: Is divinity an unconditioned reality, an immanent ground, or an evolving expression?
