Featured Quotes

In human lives, I have observed three main desires: wealth, power, and knowledge. I have one more—Rasa (The Universal Emotion). This desire is so intense that it can easily overshadow the other three.
— Whispers of Laughter and Tears: Tagore
As our own global civilization struggles with questions of identity, belonging, and meaning across cultural boundaries, Ganesha's journey from local spirit to universal symbol offers unexpected insights. In an age of artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, when we're creating new forms of hybrid existence, the ancient wisdom embedded in the elephant-headed god's impossible form may prove more relevant than ever.
