The few elevated minds...who only disbelieve because they do not know,
we would remind of that apothegm of Narada, the ancient Hindu philosopher:

"Never utter these words: 'I do not know this—therefore it is false.'

"One must study to know, know to understand, understand to judge."


—Isis Unveiled, I, 628

Getting started - Where to begin a blog?!

I have had great trepidation thinking about beginning this adventure and I feel a bit of "stage freight" still to overcome in publishing my thoughts and commentary on life and the world...... But like diving from 10 meters for the first time - after you hit the water - the second time is no big deal!

I have for some time wanted to begin a discussion with others in the area about  issues, events, politics, views, and hopefully add to the cacophony a voice with sanity, some intelligence, and a fair amount of reflection.
Let me introduce the title of this blog and describe Narada - The Wandering Seer, according to Indian Mythology.
The word 'Nara' means 'knowledge useful to mankind'. 'Da' means 'a giver'. So The name Narada roughly translates as 'a giver of useful knowledge to man kind'.  The web link below has a full description of Narada and the Hindu Myth as well as other thoughts and links. Also part of the Narada mythic persona is his intent to champion a good cause. The tales of Narada relate a constant desire that evil be punished and the haughty learn humility and that the good and just should live happily.  Feel free to explore the Narada Myth and you will see why I have chosen this namesake for my writings

Grand idyllic thoughts and a rather high standard to attempt a blog with.....   wish me luck!
