The Celestial Hunt  (English, Paperback, R. Devikumar)

Millions of galaxies, countless stars, numerous planets and infinite asteroids and comets constitute this universe. Its formation is clueless and so is life. Earth, our dear world, which is one of the trillions of celestial objects in this universe – we are not sure if we have another / many universes, is the only one celestial object which we know to support life. We? Who are we?

We are just one among the innumerable species that live on Earth. When we compare the species of human beings to the hugeness of the Universe and the multitude of species, we seem very small. Is it not? This does not stop there. There are nearly seven billion humans in the world. You, I or anyone is just one among them which is among 1.5 million species on Earth which is one of the trillions of celestial objects in the Universe.

Questions arise often when we start thinking about this mystery. So who has created this entire set up? And what are we expected to play in the short life? Are all the happenings and events pre-defined? Why some people alone reach greater heights in life and make their life a never fading saga?

Some term the super natural power above us as God and some try to explore it through science. Both God and Science have their own demerits. Yes, may be because both are created / altered by us. The ‘No God Concept’ seems to lack discernment and ‘Multi God Concept’ lacks sanity. Science, a repository of wonders, has also taken part in killing a large number of humans, the most intelligent species.

God (or) the Creator could be only ONE. All his messengers and their preaching iterate the same. The different versions of the result of the decoding process of God are these different religions. God Himself helped people in this process by sending Messengers at various times. The only identity for us is we are ‘humans’, very tiny living units of this gigantic universe created by our Creator. The discriminations originating on the basis of God made us to lose our identity. Addicted to religion we have started moving away from God, our Creator.

Our only possessions are love & kindness – these attributes separate us from all other species. The puzzling part is they increase when we give them to others. Do we all possess them? Not really! If we do, why are so many destitute and suffering people? Are we done with all our love & kindness that we don’t have any to assist these poor people? Poor? What is this new term? Yes. Money is another term which is behind this new term ‘Poor’. People with no/less money are poor – underprivileged people in the world. They are neglected of all basic needs. Money– a transactional material ruling many greedy minds to live a prosperous future - For a prosperous life of a few at the cost of hundreds of miserable lives. Greed of money drives one to pursue power and in the race many are killed in the stampede. Addicted to power & money, we are moving away from life. Triggered by communal and social differences and greed for power and fuelled by science, violence has started reaching a new height and we are losing our face as humans.

The messengers of Our Creator have appeared several times and restored the love and humanity by their divine principles and everlasting life. We all carry a message from Our Creator and unfortunately many of us fail to follow and convey the doctrines to the next generation because of addiction to religion, power and violence.

We all hope a messenger appears again and turn this world full of nemesis into a garden of bliss. Everyday, every human hope knowingly or unknowingly for a savior to save this tiniest of His celestial objects and one of His million species from self extinction.

‘The Celestial Hunt’ starts with Rajesh, one among the seven billion humans taking a book from his father’s room.
