Reflections of Rajaram Bojji

Through a tiny pinhole not well cut, we try to view the beauty of the universe, of indefinite age, or at least 2billion years old, from within, not knowing where to look nor knowing what to expect, with some principles mostly accepted as probably right most of the time, by our own reckoning, evolved only in the last 500 years! We naturally get confused and think in circles. Just a matter of small interest- in Bhgavatha it is said a King takes his daughter to visit Satyaloka for getting recommendation for a good husband and gets delayed by a few seconds, waiting to see Brahma & then to reach back our Earths' kakhya ( Orbit?) to find the yugas changed and he was no more King etc!!
