It seems like a cosmic vision, only because we've been literally cut off from our maximum organic awareness so long. Someone stuck in a dead universe all his life suddenly wakes up & sees the whole universe alive, including himself. It could be nervewracking if you've invested your whole life in the wrong universe, which most everybody has by now. But this is the space age. Overpopulation, electronic communication networks worldwide, planetary death threat with bombs, escalation of irrational hostilities, moment of leaving the planet in space-ships—and opening up of chemistries that alter consciousness & take all this into account with total Awe. So it's no wonder that it seems strange for the older folks. History's accelerating like technology's accelerated. Can't go back. We can blow the whole show up. Or we can calm fear, see the world is really changing, like a dream, & go explore & help each other through. It's all safe because as Einstein & the Buddhists secretly tipped everybody off long ago: the whole show is a harmless wave-illusion. That may be hard to take but it's better than going mad and seeing devils in every comer in typical prespace-age American Style. Allen Ginsberg

'...human history, really — is full of evidence that we’re not here long, that we should get our houses in order and do something of value with our time.'

Thank you Ravi Shankar

This song inspired and was the soundtrack all my Sanskrit work in jewelry. Thank you Ravi Shankar.
Click HERE to hear it.

Oh Master,show some compassion on me,
Please come and dwell in my heart.
Because without you, it is painfully lonely,
Fill this empty pot with the nectar of love.

I do not know any Tantra, Mantra or ritualistic
worship i know and believe only in you.
I have been searching for you all over all the world,
please come and hold my hand now.

The Solar System

For most people, life on earth is hard. For the lucky ones it is merely hectic. No wonder we get caught up in our daily lives. We look down rather than up. We ignore the face that we live on a tiny speck of rock suspended in an unutterable

vastness of empty space. But above the thin skin of the atmosphere are other worlds. Worlds where 100 year old hurricanes are raging, ice volcanoes are erupting, gargantuan lightning bolts are leaping between cloud tops and moons. These things have been happening for billions of years, but it is only now that we can see them in glorious close-up. We are extraordinarily privileged to be alive...Welcome to the sun and planets, the moons and comets and chunks of assorted rubble...
