So, what's this one about?
You're likely to ask that question if you happen to come across this blog. So, what is 'tattva3'? Tattva is a sanskrit word, which means 'reality', or 'truth'. Tattva Traya (tattva3) means, 'three truths'. It is a great thing that has been passed down from a time and age that is shrouded, not in faraway mists or hallowed fumes, but by suffocatingly thick and voluminous folds of time, calculations of which are not even conceivable, going by the standards that we are all forced to accept today.
Why have you started this blog, and why is this post in the travel channel?
The simple answer to the second part of the question is that this is a travelogue, more than it is anything else. Tattva3 is everything, and the journey towards understanding it is, ultimately, beautiful. There are obstacles along the way, some planned, some unexpected. I've met with many of these, and I'm still on the road. It gets difficult sometimes, and you wonder if you have to be a little mad to convince yourself that it is true. You don't. Tattva3 is not about far-fetched concepts that don't really matter in your everyday life. It's about satisfaction. A feeling beyond happy. It doesn't have the intensity of passion or the induced high of intoxication. People get along just like they did before, and deal with their problems and situations in life in just the same way. But after a person has merely recognized these truths, they confront the same things with the understanding that they are all parts of a whole, which is bigger than their sum. And that paves the way for further exploration into realms that are mind-bogglingly beautiful.
Why have I started this blog? I may have started it because I have lots of time on my hands right now.Or maybe because I feel that a few things need to be placed out there, for everyone to see and think about. But it is very difficult to put this subject in a space where anyone can be reading it, coming from any background, and having gone through any of the diverse, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, bizarre, scary, horrible, experiences that permute in a zillion ways to form the gamut of what we go through in our lives. But I want to do this because I know that it's something worth talking and thinking about, and I'm hoping that building this blog will help me inculcate some discipline, and give me something that can start off a routine in my life. So, there's a lot of 'me' in the reasons for starting this blog. Let's call it a venture, from which I can benefit just like you can. I think that's fair.
What can I expect to read in this blog?
Let's begin with what you can't expect: you won't be seeing adult-oriented material, erotic stories and the like. You won't be getting cooking recipes. There will be nothing on the lines of 'spirituality for dummies' or 'philosophy for dummies'. And, like a great person once said, 'these things cannot be made to stoop down to the level of the crowd, but must raise the consciousness of the crowd as much as possible'.
What you can expect, are 'impressionist' adaptations by the writer, of a branch of knowledge that is beyond immediate sensual gratification, but, when cultivated, can offer the same satisfaction and relief that a lover obtains upon reading a letter from her beloved who is away at war, saying that he is safe, and waiting to return to her. I think that's all I can say about this right now. Come back and read this blog often to get a taste of what it will be like.
And before this post is done...
Even if I don't mean it or feel it, I want to say that I'm so small and insignificant in the bigger picture that it did not create any necessity for those who did, to decide on making me realize my position and see beyond myself. In doing so, they've changed many things for me. It makes all the difference to a grain of sand, when it knows that it is part of a beautiful moonlit beach, and not a useless speck of matter with no place to be and nothing to do.
