Dear Friend,
Thank you for being part of the NEEV community. Whether you subscribed recently or have been reading my work for years, I deeply appreciate your companionship on this journey of self-inquiry.
Over the past few months, my writing has taken on a richer and more varied rhythm. While the heart of my work remains rooted in Advaita, self-inquiry, and sustainability, I have also found myself drawn to another way of expressing the same insights—through literary essays, memoir, and reflections on fatherhood, nature, books, childhood, and the quiet mystery that pervades ordinary life.
To give these two streams of writing their own distinct homes, I have begun developing a new website called The Lilamaya.
NEEV will continue to be the home for my writings on self-inquiry, Advaita, and sustainable living. The Lilamaya will be the literary wing of my work—a place where philosophy is not explained so much as lived, where the deepest questions reveal themselves through stories, memory, and the seemingly ordinary moments of everyday life. Although the voices of these two spaces are different, they spring from the same source.
To make it easier to stay connected, I have decided to publish my newsletter through Substack.
If you would like to continue receiving my essays directly in your inbox, I warmly invite you to subscribe.
Your subscription is completely free.
By subscribing, you’ll receive new writings from both NEEV—The Community for Self-Inquiry and Sustainability—and The Lilamaya, delivered directly to your inbox. Read whichever essays resonate with you. Some will speak directly to the mind that inquires; others, perhaps, to the heart that remembers. Together, they express different facets of the same journey.
My websites will remain the permanent home of my work. Substack will simply become the place from which I share new essays and reflections with readers.
Thank you for walking this path with me. I look forward to continuing the conversation—and perhaps beginning a few new ones—with you on Substack.
With warm regards,
Anurag Jain
