"Far or forgot to me is near;
Shadow and sunlight are the same;
The vanished gods to me appear;
And one to me are shame and fame.

They reckon ill who leave me out;
When me they fly, I am the wings;
I am the doubter and the doubt,
And I the hymn the Brahmin sings."
                                   -Ralph Waldo Emerson, Brahma

Hello, Bonjour, and Tashi Delek!

If you're reading this, that means I finally got around to finishing my website (at least to a publishable degree). I'm dedicating this site, annoying flashing banners and all, to my first love: God, or rather the study of. ~_^

Use the links in the top right to learn a little bit more about me and my field of study. My current focus is Hinduism within the broader topic of religions/cultures of South Asia. Most of the content of this site will be therefore devoted to exactly that. However, I am greatly interested in other Eastern religions (I'm learning to speak Tibetan!), as well as my own European/Christian background, so there will be information on a variety of other religious/socio-religious topics, as well. Enjoy!

What's New?

08/18/2004 I'm back from 3 months in Spain and Portugal, and as much as I adore Europe, I'm glad to be home and looking forward to classes again.  I've updated my Previous Works page to include some papers on Ethics I wrote in September/November of last year, one practical and the other very, very philosophical, but both fun to write.  I've also updated the Suggested Readings page with some obvious texts and some of my own personal favorites, but there are, without a doubt, more titles to come.

04/16/2004 After a minor crisis (extreme understatement), I managed to get my site editor working again and, lo and behold, I have finished uploading pictures to the About Me page.  I also now have a Previous Works section where I've posted some of my more recent essays.  I'm quite proud of them, but am always open to comments/criticism.  There is always room for improvemtnt in writing after all!  Soon to come:  a list of Suggested Reading, more essays, more links, just more!

04/07/2004 I did it! My website is up and running! Many updates to come soon...
