Sougandhika Parinaya ( सौगन्धिकापरिणय ) lithograph: Romancing around the Tree Marriage Advice | Monday – April 6, 2026 C an there be such a thing as a "dysfunctional" marriage ? Of course not, marriage and dysfunction are impossible in coexistence, and if there is such a thing as a marriage in dysfunction, then that marriage is not a true marriage; a marriage in the name of the law is indeed no such thing as holy matrimony, and really many marriages are unholy, and should perhaps, depending on inclination, not even be considered marriage, but that is a note for another time.     The point of marriage in modern times seems to be quite different from the truly sacred unity that marriage represents, and if one cares to rely too much on the vocabulary of the moderns, then yes referring to marriage as a kind of "institution" makes sense, but this modern institution is really an economic union. Sure, there are marriages in the legal sense that do meet the criteria for a k...

Thai ( ภาษาไทย ) depiction of the epic of Ramayana ( रामायणम् ) Essentials for the Golden Age | Saturday – April 5, 2026 E ssentials for the Golden Age to come, the Satya Yuga ( सत्ययुग ) should be noted. The purpose of this post is to make certain comments about the age before us, that future that I alluded to the other day – the remote future . Before the proper close of a cycle, it must be understood that a time of accelerated decline must unfold and this time, the Kali Yuga ( कलियुग ), is nearing the end, the last and terminal phase of the the cyclical descent towards the substantial pole of the manifestation.

At any rate, upon a new cyclical manifestation after the final days of the Kali Yuga, a new humanity will emerge, and for this new humanity starting at...

Meitei ( ꯃꯩꯇꯩꯂꯣꯟ ) depiction of Khuman Khamba ( ꯈꯨꯃꯥꯟ ꯈꯥꯝꯕꯥ꯫ ) and Moirang Thoibi ( ꯃꯣꯏꯔꯥꯡ ꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ꯫ ) Disintegration | Saturday – April 4, 2026 U nbearable... The unbearable now... Really, it is all just a decent towards dissolution. Such is all there is, at least in sight of the future, but then again, do not allow yourself to forget about the remote future , the future beyond the dawn of a new day – truly the dawn of a new era. Indeed, there has been much squabble as of late about the effect that humanity pose on the climate  and all sorts of other stuff that I have covered in the past , but what I have not mentioned enough is the fact that yes, the world is moving towards ultimate destruction , the Armageddon, but this should be no cause for stress and worry , as this was expected as a natural course in the movement of the cosmological cycles. This is why I do not allow myself to worry and become loaded with all sorts of agitations, because we are ascending towards disintegration,...
