From Greece to Rome, from Egypt to India, philosophy is bound by that single thread of knowledge that uses ‘mythos’ and ‘logos’ to describe the ‘cosmos’. Mythos is Mythology that each of these civilisations extravagantly boast of and logos is using logic besides mythology, to make sense of cosmos or the world. How are the cults of Dionysus and Orpheus related? If Apollo is the Sun God in the Greek Mythology, Phoebus in Rome and Surya in the Indian myths, why do the Egyptians have three different sun gods? Do these questions intrigue you? If yes, do tune into Cosmographia now!

Śakoontalá Act 1 - Part 1
Herein is a translation of Kalidasa’s famous literary masterpiece Abhijnanam Shakuntalam, probably the best work produced in the Sanskritic literature, by Sir Monier Williams, the second Boden Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford, as done in the early 19th century. Innumerable archaic English words have been used in this play but they only add to the beauty of it, rather than making it what one may deem difficult. The act has been narrated until Dushyanta’s entry into the hermitage of Saint Kanwa and the remaining part of the Act 1 will be out in the next episode. Since the drama Śakoontalá entails a total of 7 acts, it would take 14 episodes to complete the entire literary masterpiece in its translated version. Till then, stay tuned to Cosmographia!
