Special Shout Out to my Readers from India (blog entry)

For years, my readers from India have been strong supporters of this blog and my writing.  They have enjoyed and supported my works, and many have become online friends and among them also are fellow poets, seekers, and mystics.

I am honored by their attentions, and kind words.  Indians are among the kindest, most spiritual, and friendliest readers of them all. Now, I don't mean to exclude any of my readers from elsewhere, as this blog gets visitors from all over the world. As you will see below, Amazon has made a special announcement that finally makes my work available in India.


I also wanted to mention my Indian readers, because they often read my blog and make comments to me both here and at Facebook. I appreciate that very much! My friend Shefali, deserves special mention and thanks in this regard!

India is after all, the land of spiritual traditions that honors many different Goddesses, including Parvati, Ma Durga, Kali, and others.  One of their sacred landmarks, Mt. Kailash, is featured on one of  my book covers and is often mentioned in my poems. Many of the Hindu goddesses are mentioned or at least influential to my Goddess poetry as well.  I hope that all my Indian readers know that I have nothing but deep respect for them, their country, and their traditions.  I feel that way about all the countries of my readers in the world as well.

I was very pleased to see that Amazon (as of yesterday) has finally opened up both the Kindle store and the Kindle Direct Publishing platform to readers and authors from India.  This means that my Indian readers and friends can purchase (in Rupees) my two Goddess collections: Emerging Goddess, and Ascending Goddess as well as download many other Kindle works. Although you can still download apps for Kindle Ebooks that work on PC, laptop, cloud internet, IPad, Iphone and Android devices, the Kindle reader family is also available all over India at Croma stores.

So, I was very happy to see the following announcement by Amazon yesterday:

"Amazon launches the India Kindle Store with the biggest selection and lowest prices in India. You can now pay in Indian Rupees to get access to a vast selection of titles, new releases, bestsellers, and works from a range of Indian and international authors. Readers will also find exclusive Kindle books, as well as over one million free classics available to download and read on Kindle."

You can visit the India Kindle store by clicking here.

You can see my Goddess collections here.

I know this sounds like a shameless plug for Amazon (and my Goddess poems),  but I hope you will see that it is also a plug for India and Indian fans.  They are among the most faithful readers of my poems. I will say I do appreciate India, Indians, and also what Amazon has done for writers all over the world through their Kindle publishing program.

Thank you once again to India, Indians, and to the rest of my readers from all over the world! You are the best.  Namaste! ~~TK

Update:  I am also happy to report that as of early 2014, my books are also available on the Indian platform Flipkart !~~TK

Emerging Goddess: On Reviews; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Essay).

Emerging Goddess: On Reviews; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Essay)

by Tim Kavi

Dear Readers:

I am happy to report that my recent book 'Emerging Goddess' is getting reviews (mostly good ones).  While a poet is always thankful for being read, it is always nice to get more good reviews than bad ones.  While negative reviews can tell us something about the work itself, sometimes truly bad reviews seem more than a critique. Some really seem personal, jealous, or on some vendetta (the ugly reviews).  To those reviewers, I cannot imagine what is going through their minds.  It is plain that they have missed the intended message of my work. 


It is interesting too that some of those ugly reviewers often cannot be found elsewhere on the Net, their purchase of the book is not verified by the seller at the website where they have posted, and they have little to say that shows they have actually read poems from the work. 

I hope that potential readers and readers of my work will not base their decisions just upon reviews,  but will engage with the material and make up their own minds.  I hope you read my books (and my blog here) with an open mind and an open heart.  I seldom ask my readers anything, when it comes to reading my work, but I will say this:  when reading my work; consider the heart of the message and the following questions.  Is there a true path to peace? Is love needed in the world?  Is there a path to the Goddess, even if along some narrow ridge, and if there is, isn't She needed in this war torn world?  That is what my work is about.

The heart of the message in my work is all about love, peace, freedom, empowerment, and it is never about hate.  


My work about the Goddess is not about poetic style, form, or whether the words fit certain poetic meter. These are spiritual love poems.  Really, they are devotional utterances that celebrate love and the Goddess; wherever She is found.

So I welcome and respect the rights of all reviewers good and bad (and even ugly). I will continue writing, as to not do so, is not to follow the path.  For my path is not chosen, but burns in me, with a calling that demands a response.


There will be more Goddess books by Tim Kavi.  In other later collections, will be other themes and more traditional poetic styles. However,  it is in these works about the Goddess that lies the message that is closest to my heart, and a message from my heart;  to love, to be loved, to make a difference for peace in the world.  It is my message of love to the world.  If it calls you to do anything, it invites you to love fully from your discovered human heart.


It is a human heart that can still be found if you but look, even in the age of mechanized dulling of the senses and technological overload; it is a message of affirmation to bring confirmation, to come into your own empowered sense of self with other, and to love each other.


So, I am glad to get your comments, responses, and reviews. So keep them coming; good, bad, or ugly. To the ugly reviewers, I wonder about you, if there is some sort of misunderstanding, and why the hate,  but respect your rights to say anything. To the bad reviewers, I will closely look at what you said. To the good reviewers, I am honored you are moved.  Thank you to all of you sincerely.  Blessings to you and prayers for all. 

In conclusion, I wish to say that my devotional love "poems" do not ignore a mystical experience.  Rather, they are saturated with it.  Ultimately these are love poems that celebrate a divine sense of love and confirmation, but are also the utterances of love between persons.  What lasting good is a love without both components?  My hope though, is the attempt to reveal a fully empowered love, a love based on two souls; souls encountering each other in deep love.  Yes, my Goddess poems refer to love between persons as well as a sense of the transcendent, but if you see only the physical aspects, you are missing something.


Thank you for reading.  I am lucky and blessed to be read, and wish you all the best that life and love can bring.--TK
