The fiery prophet of the chaotic present
Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, often hailed as 'the greatest poet among philosophers and the greatest philosopher among poets,' is a literary colossus whose work blends creativity, intellect, and moral vision into a unique and powerful voice. A recipient of prestigious honours such as the Seneca, Charter of Morava, Franz Kafka, and Maxim Gorky awards, his name is etched permanently on the revered Poets' Rock in Serbia. With a literary output of 180 books, Anand's influence is both global and deeply rooted in Indian thought. If Rabindranath Tagore is seen as the serene sage of a colonial past, Dr. Anand rises as the fiery prophet of a chaotic present—his words resonating with universal urgency. For Dr. Anand, words are like birds—symbols of the freedom every human being yearns for. 'Playing with their feathers,' as he poetically puts it, reflects his affectionate dominion over them, ensuring they remain expressive yet obedient to poetic intent. He believes that while words can lend themselves to diverse interpretations, they should not be stretched so far that the essence of a poem disappears entirely. In a world increasingly obsessed with 'best sellers,' Anand's perspective is refreshingly idealistic. 'Literature is a serious genre that deals with the future of mankind,' he insists. Yet, in popular culture, he notes, works that provide instant gratification often reach the top through power and resources, while deeply meaningful literature struggles to find advocates. 'Time,' he asserts, 'is the true arbiter of a work of art.' His confidence is not misplaced—over 140 of his books are housed in the National Library in Kolkata, and his work enjoys admiration from literary elites across the globe. Anand draws a compelling parallel: 'Did Maxim Gorky or Leo Tolstoy ever worry about being best sellers in their lifetime?' One of his most compelling recent creations is Craza, the techno-king in the philosophical science fiction narrative 'The Alternate Universe.' Anand envisions Craza as a leader who seeks to align Artificial Intelligence with human and divine purposes, proposing the idea of creating 'enhanced' human beings. He introduces a novel concept— 'Overlap'—a metaphysical space beyond Heaven and Hell for those who exist in moral ambiguity. 'If we use restraint,' Anand explains, 'AI can function as a parallel intelligence that leads to human happiness. After all, it is a part of the human brain—an endowment from the gods.' With such a prolific literary journey, it's natural to wonder whether his contributions merit global recognition in record books or even the Nobel Prize. Anand acknowledges that his 12 epic works, compiled in two volumes titled 'Epicasia', certainly qualify for a world record. Regarding the Nobel, he says humbly, 'My work is already known to connoisseurs of world literature. The Nobel honors those who produce the most distinguished work in an idealistic direction. As Lord Krishna says in the Gita: action is in your hands, not the outcome. I've done my work and left the rest to the Will of the Lord.' Perhaps the most heartfelt chapter of his journey is the dedication of 'Epicasia' to Serbia. Anand was moved by the recognition he received from the Serbian literary community, including an Honorary Membership from the Association of Serbian Writers, the Charter of Morava, and the engraving of his name on the Poets' Rock. This inspired him to dedicate his magnum opus to the nation and to Dr. Maja Herman Sekulic, a Nobel nominee whom he reveres as a Good Samaritan. 'It was an act of thanksgiving to a country that recognized my work far earlier than my own,' he reflects. With a mind steeped in metaphysics and a soul devoted to human values, Dr. Jernail Singh Anand is more than just a prolific writer—he is a moral force, a literary visionary, and a prophetic voice for the modern world. His legacy is not only one of poetic beauty but of profound purpose.

Karmic theory paralyses Newton
'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction'. People are often seen quoting Newton's third law of motion as a gospel truth but how this scientific truth is addressed by philosophers, remains to be seen because laws which govern physical states, when applied to psychological, sociological and spiritual states, are found to be gravely flawed. Newton's third law is no exception. Action Sans Reaction First of all, in this 'compromised' world of post-modern times, in which truth has lost its original face, and wears various masks, there are actions which may have no reaction at all. If you raise your voice against the system, it is considered an act of treason. There may be a backlash, but it is a deferred reality and does not suit Newton's idea of a precisely 'equal and opposite' reaction. Moreover, if you do good, it may not show any equal or opposite reaction. Rather, the idea of doing good to society often brings up greater good, which does not fall in the category of 'reaction'. Actions, whether good or bad have a fall out with huge reverberations. Moreover, our actions are not independent. An action is a part of a larger set of circumstances; therefore, it affects, not a person but a set of forces are let loose which affect not only the actor, but the whole system as well. The Bhagwad Gita Newton's third law appears to be in conflict with the 'Karma' theory of Bhagwad Gita. In the field of science, it may be possible to measure the reaction of an action, but in human life, an action nor its reaction can be calculated in precise terms. The Lord himself says doing an action is in the hands of man, but its fall out lies with the will of God. Will it be equal and opposite lies in the domain of mystery. Action and the Idea of Fate Every action has a dual perception. Laying bricks for a wall, also means we are building a house. Perhaps Newton was unaware of this fact that every action possesses a spiritual significance also, and it is added in our general account of goodness or evil, whatever it serves. In other words, when we say an action has an equal and opposite reaction, we have to enlarge the impact of this reaction to include the idea of fate as well. Whatever we encounter in our lives, is the result of our actions, done in the past incarnations. It is difficult to assess whether they are equal or not because it is embedded in mystery. In other words, the noise that we make, returns to us in the form of a roar. Winds do not mind our curses, nor trees hold our hand holding an axe, but soon, they turn into tempests and come back to punish us. When waters turn into tsunamis, it is nature which refuses to swallow insults. Actions of humanity which smack of madness and insensitivity, are visited not by equal and opposite reaction, but by calamities far greater in intent, intensity and manifestation. (Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, the Laureate of Seneca, Charter of Morava, Franz Kafka and Maxim Gorky awards with an opus of 180 books, is a towering literary figure whose work embodies a rare fusion of creativity, intellect, and moral vision. His name adorns the Poets' Rock in Serbia)
