The Hindu ancient scripts mention the Sanskrit word "Maya" which literally means illusion!
When I write this first blog I can relate to what "Maya" actually means. Why am I saying this? As I type this blog and later on publish it on the www, I would be connected to the entire world. At least there is a possibility that I can reach to everyone on the internet. This gives a feeling of being so close to everyone in the world suddenly. However on the other hand when you think of the physical distances, I can imagine ho far I am from everyone while I sit and type this blog here in Singapore.
All religions talk of a global connectivity of the entire mankind through a spiritual connection and so on. Is the www not a kind of "non-physical" yet ethereal connectivity for the entire mankind? Just a few years back if someone were to say that one would be able to communicate to anyone in the world within a few seconds, that would have seemed to be a mythological tale. But today here we are talking to each other at our own wish.... chatting or video conferencing or audio conferencing.
We are connected!! And I am happy to be connected to you all!
