Songs of Soul  (Paperback, Shrikrishna Kulkarni)

The 'Songs of Soul' is a collection of pure inner experiences complemented by soulful imaginations expressed in the form of verses. The experiences span a vivid spectrum of philosophy, nature, love, and similar wonders. The book raises fundamental questions about our being and living on this dear earth and the associated feelings. Most poems have a common thread of mystery around self-discovery, the purpose of life, the nature of love, the beauty of nature, and the entities behind this great universe. The poems make an appeal to the soul. For ages, the topics have been discussed, but every generation's and human being's thirst remains deprived and need a fresh recipe every time. Spiritual ways help climb the ladder from hell to the human heart and ascend the mysterious line drawn from the heart to heaven or to retire to eternity. The restlessness of mind and soul and their interplay and pursuit is evident in varying forms. Natural sentiments and pure love are mentioned in some of the poems. The poems are depicted using simple words that originate from the bottom of the heart. Not only can these poems be read in meditative and absorbed moods or to enter those moods, but also to go beyond life's stress and heavy burdens. May the readers be gratified by my share of feelings and inner experiences thus expressed in this book and quench their thirst for imagination.
