About Anisha Gilani

My name is Anisha Gilani and I am the author of this wonderful book called Sacred. This is perhaps the most important piece of my work that I have dedicated my time to till date. I had never envisioned that I would become the author of SACRED simply because, my secular education consisted of technical knowledge in the areas of mathematics and statistics and let me assure you that poetry was never my strong suit.

The exact origin of Sacred is difficult to trace, because, life and its myriad of lessons moulds one from within in the subtlest of ways, unbeknownst even to the individual himself. It presented itself at a juncture in my life in a form of a deep loss. My father is the reason for this contemplative and spiritual journey.  He is the reason, that continues to inspire me and connect me with the essence that is present in all of us.

The intent of this submission is not to form an opinion of any sort, but it is however, a pointer towards something much deeper that resides within us.Whether we call that God, Source, Universe are, according to me, hinting towards the same entity. The language in Sacred is simple and presented as series of poetic expressions that are contemplative in nature and strike an instant connection with the divine in form of questions, debates, pleas, supplications and so on.  Sacred offers a sense of open-endedness in its expressions and allows each reader to contemplate and connect with it on a personal level.

My humble plea is to absorb it at least once with an open heart and not get caught up in the concepts.  I am sure there will be plenty of time to deliberate about these afterwards.This is a gentle attempt to create a dialogue within ourselves and experience this sacredness within each one of us.

Accept it as it is, a book too sacred to let go…
