Why do I write blogs?

Rarely a few might also feel coming back to this site later for a deeper look. Still a few might either join the site or follow the author by using the facilities on the right panel just as a few friends have already done. The best facility for readers to interact with the author or with their fellow readers is by using the comment facility given in the bottom of the respective blog article.

Purpose of the Site

The purpose of this blog site is essentially to share some of the limited life experiences and view points of the author with those who are interested in reading those. The author understands the human limitations and recognizes the fact all human beings are imperfect and their struggle towards perfection is a slow process that is likely to take thousands of years. It is also realized that human culture and civilization cannot tilt towards good unless the individuals turn towards good. For that to happen, it is important for humans to understand the purpose of life itself the way it really is rather than hypothesizing about it with errors and confusions. The blogs are written with the recognition that humans of earth are one of the lowest orders of intelligent beings created by the creative agencies of the First Source and Center that caused the creation of everything visible or invisible. The personality aspect of the First Source and Center is recognized as God the Father and humans of earth share a common ancestry due to God the Father. The blogs are meant for presenting some advanced knowledge about the Universal Love of God, the Father and about  living the God given life according to the Will of God. The ideas presented in many of the blogs may contain spiritual philosophies that the author realized as something important for human beings to explore.

The contents of this site are essentially meant for those who are interested in reading. Contents of several blog articles may have serious thoughts transcending common interests.

For the convenience of the readers, clubbing the blogs under different categories has been done and the interested visitor can now easily jump to such index pages by clicking the relevant box buttons on the right panel.

In short, all those that concern human life in the view point of the author, are covered in a random manner. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the view points of the author have been greatly influenced by the great wisdom that the author gained by being a student of the Urantia Book.

The author acknowledges the fact that the ideas and viewpoints of this blog site may be of interest to only a few people of the world as of now. The world and its majority peoples are only in their nascent mind state to comprehend the beauty of the great truths as revealed in the Urantia Book!

Whether you agree or not, the primary concern of most of us even in this era of scientific and technological advancement, is our pursuits towards our own selfish goals! Most of us are not able to transcend our thoughts beyond our material interests in life! Even those who appear to be philosophical or spiritual or religious are not much different. While we may seem to be much involved with spiritual or religious thoughts and ideas, in reality we do not try to understand what they truly mean! It is much difficult for us to comprehend the purpose of life beyond our material existence!

Have your ever thought why our politics is linked to our religions? Have you ever thought why our scientific knowledge is not in line with our spiritual or religious concepts? Have you ever thought why we are divided racially, linguistically, religiously, politically and geographically even when some of us in our saner minds realize the futility of such divisions among humanity?

Have you ever seriously thought about God? Have you ever thought about the relationship of God with us, human beings? Why do we humans possess the instinct of worshiping God while we hardly comprehend God? Why don't our animal cousins devoid of the instinct for worshiping God? Why do we, regardless of our religious faiths, believe in the existence of some immortal essence that is within us, humans? If our religions are all true, why do they have so much differences? Can truth be different to different people?

Why do we suffer? What causes the chaos and the turmoil of our world? Why do we think that our problems are caused by God? Why do some of us prefer to reject the existence of God and cling to science for all answers even when the latter has no answers?

How did we come in to existence? Was it just an accident of time? Why do we debate over evolution and creation, endlessly?

Are there any other earths with peoples like us beyond our solar system? How do we know for sure? Will our scientific progress enable us to reach to those at some time later?

Why do we believe in the existence of angels, spirits and the like while many others reject those ideas as pure nonsense? Are they real or just an imagination of human minds?

These are all some of the questions that come in to the minds of thoughtful people. I have been thinking about such questions. It is time that we find answers to these! Would it be possible for us to find answers?

Let me tell you a secret. I have been fortunate enough to find convincing and logical answers to such questions. I would be glad to share those with those who are eager to know. The Urantia Book contains answers and that too in much detailed manner. For the probing mind, it contains the treasures of universe knowledge hitherto much hidden from mankind. When I read that book and found answers to all those previously unanswered questions that I had, I made this website called the Urantia-India Website where I had written many interesting things about this marvelous book.

The purpose of this site essentially is to instill an intelligent curiosity among those open minded among my readers to find the Urantia Book. I would feel happy if a few of them venture reading and studying it eventually, setting aside their apprehensions!

Perhaps some of you might tell this: What is so special about this book? The world is full of such books! Such books are there to mislead and divert us from our own sacred texts!

Yes, I am fully aware of the subtle deceptions that keep working in this world. But my dear friend! Unless you have the open minded curiosity to search for truths, you would perhaps never find the truths. You remain in your own self created darkness!

To make things a bit easier for you, I suggest you know at least the seven fundamental truths that the Urantia Book tells man kind. These seven are compiled by my learned Urantia Book Readers associated with TruthBook.com .

Have a look at it by clicking this link:  The 7 life Changing truths!

My dear friend, you might have reached this site just accidentally by browsing for something of your interest. But I suggest you use this opportunity to go further to learn more about the greatest divine gift man kind has ever got so far! Perhaps, it could transform you than never before!
