Embodiment of Service


In the Hindu pantheon, Lord Hanuman, "Son of the Wind", is the perfect servant of Lord Ram, earthly incarnation of Vishnu.

When Lord Ram's shakti-devi "Sita" is violently abducted by a demon, it is Ram's perfect devotee, Hanuman, King of the Monkey armies, who sets off across the sea to rescue her.

I am no more Hindu than Christian or Buddhist. But the goal of "service" permeates these paths, and is no better exemplified than in the "Ramayana", the Hindu tale of Ram and his eternal friend, Hanuman.

It is in the ideal of service that I will present the future contents of this blog.

ZenOnMars

Hello.

Welcome to my first web log. I call it, "ZenOnMars". I call myself ZenOnMars. Will explain that later. You can call me Zen, for short.

I have created this space to share Light, and Thought, and, hopefully, Smiles. Some of my favorite things!

Please check back, and do feel free to comment.
