Dialogue Between the Sky and the Self

"Dialogue Between the Sky and the Self"
- A Spiritual Epic Exploring the Soul's Journey
(Khandakavya/Echo of an Epic Soul)

The deep philosophical, cultural, and poetic epic "Dialogue Between the Sky and the Self" investigates the beginning of creation, the secrets of the five elements, soul introspection, and finally the road to transcendental emancipation. The story is a cosmic dialogue between awareness and the universe, between inner silence and the sky, not only a literary or narrative trip.

Drawing profoundly on Kirat cultural philosophy and the Mundhumic perspective, the poet creates a tapestry of introspective contemplation and legendary images. The poem invites the reader to rediscover the neglected link between spirit and space by unfolding as a metaphysical journeyâ "a discourse between the self and the universe.

Organisation and Thematic Movement

There are five cantos in the epic, each examining a different degree of consciousness and spiritual awakening.

In essence, a voyage born of conversation

"Dialogue Between the Sky and the Self" is a philosophical meditation and literary dedication effort. It is not only the narrative of Tungdunge; it is the narrative of each of us, constantly looking for our position between the silence within and the horizon outside.
This epic tells us that if we can hear the soul speak, we can also hear the silence of creation. And even the skies start to respond when the soul speaks.

"Not a Conclusion, but a Continuation" closes the poem and invites the reader to realise that the road of the soul and the conversation with the heavens are endless, constantly changing, and still in progress.
