Reminiscences : The Hill of Devi

The Hill of Devi 
Reminiscences :
--
btw, I went uphill today evening. There is a devi-temple (E.M.Forster : Hill of devi) I climbed a hundred and more steps, turned left, got down another hundred or so many steps and returned home. These days thousands of devotees daily visit those temples. I had first visited that temple when I was of 3 or years of age. Then again, when I was 16 years. And kept visiting for 3 years once in a month or 2. After 45 years I could again go there. And when I was 16, I used to see very small stone structures, those similar to the pic. above, which pilgrims used to make by the way to the temple. After these 45 years, still people bring small stone pieces and make such along the steps. I too had built so many 45 years ago.

Walking through the incomprehensible and inexplicable states of mind, when the memory and the recognition of the world is left as if erased, and the identity of oneself in the world is also temporarily suspended, you are not lost. The different time-frames are but overlapping glass-panes that slide over one-another with no stable or fixed images in them. Though shadows and figures also keep changing with utmost harmony all the time, you just laugh at them, as if you have come across a Salvador Dali's painting...

The Beginning of 'Life'.

The Beginning of 'Life'
--
भू / जन् इन धातुओं से बने शब्द 'be' 'gen' संयुक्त होकर 'begin' का रूप ग्रहण किया । 
इसी प्रकार 'ली > लयति / लयते'  तथा .... इव > iva > if से  'live' / 'leaf' / 'leaves'/ 'leafs' बने ।  
लीय-इव > līya-iva > live, leave, > निमग्न, विलीनप्राय, that leaves form, that dissolves, alloy > of metals, aluminium, lay > allay, lie (to lie-down), lie (to hide the reality), elope (Sanskrit 'avalopa') with, to run away with.
गो > go > cow > cows > calves, goat, 
> गोवत्स > govatsa > calf, > calves, 
> this 'f' was not there in the Greek where from Latin and English originated. This 'f' meaning 'flower' came into Latin as a symbol and was accepted as a character later on. So, this 'f' in 'life' could not be silent. It is always vocative.
