Whispers of the Sun

We feel the Sun's warmth on our skin long before we learn the science of its fire. The Sun is the most profound and constant presence in our lives, a celestial anchor in our sky and a silent partner in the story of life itself. Yet, we often exist in two minds about it: we understand it as a distant, violent ball of plasma governed by the laws of physics, and simultaneously feel it as a symbol of hope, divinity, and the very essence of vitality. This collection of poems is a meditation on that duality. It is a journey that travels the 93 million miles between Earth and Sun, not just through the vacuum of space, but through the realms of science, mythology, sensation, and spirit. Through verses filled with light, color, sound, and scent, we will explore the sun not just as a distant star, but as an intimate, essential force—a cosmic engine whose tiniest fraction of energy births our world's abundance, and a sacred emblem that has ignited human imagination since the dawn of consciousness. These poems invite you to look up, to feel the light on your face, and to contemplate the intricate, beautiful, and eternal relationship we share with our star. Hindi translation for all poems are provided at the end of the book.
