Musings..
I can
not claim to be a philosopher for the simple reason
that I am not. I have read and thought, asked and
thought again about these topics, as every one of us
has done at least at some point in life. If you have
articulated your thoughts on these topics then there
is no difference between you and me. May be the only
difference is between the size of the audience we have
access to. Having a web site extends the reach and
therefore I may have a larger audience than you. This
difference is not worth even mentioning, so do not
take these thoughts very seriously.
Of
course I claim to be a puzzled man trying to find out
the meaning of it all. Why, what, how, where and when
are the five most basic questions human beings ask.
These pages are the result of the questions I have
asked and the answers I have received. By reproducing
what I think about these topics, I do not intend to
make you agree with what I write here. I, myself, do
not have the answers. What seems to be more plausible
to me is presented here.
These
pages are simply the expressions of my thought
processes. I hope to raise more questions than provide
answers as I have none.
Feel
free to contact me for anything you might have to say,
though I would not welcome abuse. This is because it
is not my intention to hurt the sentiments or beliefs
of anybody. I welcome other ideas, honest criticism,
discussions intended to delve deeper into these
questions.
I will
keep adding more and more topics whenever I have free
time. For the moment, whatever I have been able to
write is presented here.
I am an Indian and my mother
tongue is "Hindi" (not English). So, if there are some grammatical
errors, I think I deserve a pardon. If you find out some error in my
linguistic abilities, please do not hesitate to point it out. I will
really be grateful to you if I am able to correct my language as a
result of your efforts in pointing out my errors.
What is destiny? Is there a free
will?
Astrology : A Science or
Superstition?
How India lost its Glory?
What is Happiness and
How to achieve it?
What is Freedom?
Ideal society and its governance
I have had some nice
interactions with the readers of my articles. It is always nice to know
of alternative thoughts too, as they help make things much clearer. Some
of the interactions are so interesting that I decided to post them on
this site. I am sure you will enjoy reading them even more. Here are two
of the ongoing discussions:
Jennifer (on happiness)
Alan (on reincarnation
and beliefs in general)
Rob Tillett
(on Astrology) |
