The Longing of God for God is a collection of love poems to the humanly divine and the divinely human. These offerings explore the sacredness of the whole human journey, including the challenges and the tribulations. Most of the poems are inspired by magical moments and holy places in India.
This collection is a work in progress. The poems are emerging and evolving, and more will be added in the months and years to come. In the meantime, the collection is being shared openly, as is, as an oblation.
