Book Review ( Divinity in Nature)

New Year Greetings

When I wished sir on 1^st January he talked about New Year greetings. As I was traveling I could not jot down the points. But I am able to recollect only three thought provoking points that he spoke.

You can wish others ‘a happy new year’ only when you are already happy. Are you really happy?

Those people who have it with them can only share or give it to others. So only people who are happy can wish others a happy new year or give happiness to others. So are you happy?

Above all when do we wish for something? Only when we do not have it with us, we wish for it. Don’t we have it in abundance? Do we need the wishes now?

About jeevavnabrindavan

Jeevavnabrindavan, which is going to be released on 1^st January 2010 is a translation of a Telugu work with the same title. jeevana brindavanam (Telugu) is in turn a free translation of an earlier work in English titled ‘Divinity in Nature’. This is a compilation of Sriramsir’s informal talk which he had with a group of friends over an extended lunch.

Here is Sir’s Foreword to ‘Divinity in Nature’

The ‘creation’ is concretized ‘creator’ and the ‘creator’ is the creation, made abstract. The simplest proof of this fact is that nothing is ordinary in the creation. Everything is extraordinary. All the apparently ordinary things are astoundingly extraordinary. The ‘eye’ that wonders at the Taj Mahal is more wonderful than all the seven wonders of the world. The eye that sees light is made in the darkness of a mother’s womb by a mysterious, biological hand. An iridescent smile on the tender lips of a baby is as amazing as the rainbow in the sky. The transformation of a little mud and water into a fragrant rose petal by a thin stem of a plant is a more difficult feat than launching of a space shuttle.

Therefore one can justifiably say that ‘Nature’ is God’s PIN code number. Every object in Nature throbs with divine impulses. When the daffodil moves its head to and fro in the gentle breeze, it is the ‘dance of divinity’. It is as though instead of creating Nature, God has become Nature!

Slightly altering the Shakespearean line one can say: ‘Divinity thy name is Nature’. So let us all feel and experience divinity in everything and everywhere in Nature!

Sri Ram
