Four Ghats into One Lake

Four beautiful flights of stone descend toward the holy water. Upon one, Shiva speaks with Parvati. Upon another, Yajnavalkya sits before Bharadvaja. Kakabhushundi and Garuda meet upon the third. Upon the fourth, Tulsidas addresses the assembly of saints.

Each dialogue is a ghat, shaped by thoughtful wisdom so that a different listener may approach the same depth. Their steps do not divide the lake into four waters. They make one water accessible through four sacred relationships.

Teller and hearer sit face to face at every entrance. Between them, the Manas waits to be entered.

Four conversations descend by separate steps and touch the same water.
