The Land of Happiness
Aug 26th, 2008 by Tilak
If I ever have to decide where I want to return for my next life, probably Goa will occupy the top of my list .
Not because it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth I have ever visited or lived in, but for the peace and tranquility it still preserves in its air, and for the simple people who accomodates everyone with an open heart, notwithstanding the fact that it eventually affects their very survival and longivity of their long preserved innocent culture.
A Land of Beyond
In the ancient Hindu literature Goa is referred to as ‘A land of beyond’ and sometimes as ‘ A golden land of beyond’. I realised the meaning of these references only after living there for many years.
Goa exists beyond this modern materialistic world ( though the word ‘beyond’ was used in a different context in the ancient name). So much of unearthly happiness exists there that it remains beyond the comprehension of the materialistic population. To me Goa is a place of ultimate happiness.
I could not resist but explore the state and I immensely enjoyed every bit of it. I want to share my experience about this unique place of happiness with others and that’s the raison d’etre of this blog.
