This space is my sanctuary for exploring the profound wisdom of thinkers who have shaped my understanding of existence. Through these pages, I delve into the timeless teachings of Lord Shri Krishna, whose Bhagavad Gita illuminates the path of dharma and detachment. I examine René Girard’s mimetic theory and its revelations about human desire and violence. Arthur Schopenhauer’s pessimism and emphasis on compassion resonate deeply, while Albert Camus teaches me to embrace life’s absurdity with defiant joy.
Søren Kierkegaard’s leap of faith and authentic existence challenge my notions of certainty. Buddhist philosophy offers liberation through understanding suffering and impermanence. Osho’s provocative insights strip away societal conditioning, while Mahaveer’s principle of non-violence extends compassion to all living beings. Friedrich Nietzsche’s call to transcend conventional morality and embrace the will to power inspires me to question inherited values and create my own meaning.
Each philosopher contributes a unique thread to the tapestry of my worldview—one that seeks meaning in paradox, finds peace in acceptance, and discovers freedom in surrender. Here, I synthesize these diverse traditions, exploring how ancient wisdom and modern existentialism converge to address the eternal questions: How should we live? What gives life meaning? And how do we face suffering with grace? I will also write about other philosophers I encounter along this journey, those whose thoughts resonate with my evolving understanding and whose insights align with my worldview.
