O God! If I worship You
for fear of Hell,
burn me in Hell,
and if I worship You in
hope of Paradise,
exclude me from Paradise.
But if I worship You
for Your Own sake,
grudge me not
Your everlasting Beauty.

Rabi'a, 8th century

A devotee offers prayers kneeling with hands folded in supplication before the deity at a small shrine next to Essanya Lingam on the girivalam route around holy Arunachala, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. Several oil lamps (diyas) are lit on a nearby metal stand, symbolising the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. A plastic exterior wall paint bucket with the brand "Asian Paints", India's largest paint company, is visible in the foreground. Rabiʿa al-Basri (717–801) is regarded as the first female saint of Sufism, the mystical tradition of Islam. When asked by Sheikh Hasan al-Basri how she attained self-realisation, she responded: “You know of the how, but I know of the how-less.”

Five super-friendly sari-clad sanitation workers, without adequate personal protective equipment other than scarves to protect their hair, on their way to start work sweeping streets (with long-handled brooms made of sticks tied to bamboo poles), clearing drains, collecting refuse and managing waste. Often from the Dalit community, they face occupational health risks, gender-based violence, and social marginalisation impacting their families and limiting access to education and opportunities. Physically demanding, involving constant exposure to dust and waste, many are employed by municipal corporations or private contractors, with some facing risks of losing their jobs as they get older. Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, South India.

A bare-chested Tamil herder in a half-raised dhoti - and with a tree branch in his left hand - leads a brown cow and her calf by rope along Post Office Road, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. The cows are of the indigenous Gir dairy breed known for their high milk production. Antonio Machado (1875-1939) was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement. His work was both an engagement with humanity and an almost Taoist contemplation of existence on the other. It was said of Antonio that he "spoke in verse and lived in poetry."

Two Hindu holy men, known as sadhus, sit reading newspapers on the steps of Lassi House, next to Sheshadri Ashram, Chengam Road, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. Sadhus are religious ascetics in Hinduism and Jainism who have renounced worldly life to pursue spiritual liberation. They are recognisable by their saffron-coloured robes and forehead markings, known as tilak, which indicate their Hindu sect.

An Indian man with a cellphone to his ear, wearing red shorts and a check shirt, oversees two women in saris, workshirts and headscarves, and using traditional methods to construct the exterior walls of a residential building in Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. Traditional bamboo scaffolding is erected on the side of the building for access during construction. The structure is made of red brick and concrete, with fresh plastering visible on a portion of the exterior, as well as a blue barrel on the lower floor which is being used to mix the cement plaster. Reinforcement bars (rebar) extend from the roof and the base, suggesting plans for further vertical expansion.

A young man wearing nothing but his underwear stands covered in mud in an irrigated paddy field, a small bucket at his feet, as he plants rice at the base of holy Arunachala, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. In the background are four bicycles of others (probably performing the same task), and in the distance the outline of homes dwarfed by the majesty of the 'Mountain of Light'.

then why all this smoke?
If there's no incense burning,
then what do I smell?
Why is the moth so eager
to burn in the candle's hell?

A barefooted and casually-clothed Indian man carries a long-handled, smoking iron incense holder and metallic incense container in his left hand, and a coconut handwoven fan in his right. Each morning at 8.15 am he spreads sacred incense through the kitchen, meditation room, samadhi shrines, bookshop and administrative offices throughout Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. This is in order to purify the environment, create a tranquil atmosphere for meditation and prayer, and serve as a symbolic offering to the divine.

The enfant terrible of Tiruvannamalai, this 47 year-old self-proclaimed 'godman' left India in 2019 amidst rape and sexual assault charges. He reportedly fled to Ecuador via Nepal and established the United States of Kailash on a private island there. Creating a unique currency, passport, and flag for this new nation, he sent representatives to the United Nations seeking official recognition. In 2023, Nithyananda’s self-declared “United States of Kailasa” had signed a “cultural partnership” with over 30 American cities. Despite an Interpol red corner notice issued by India, his precise whereabouts remain undisclosed. His current wealth is estimated at Rs 10,000 crore ($100 bn.)

Sadhu in orange robes meditating on a large flat rock facing Arunachaleswar Temple, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. The city expands in the background behind it. "The Second Coming" by W.B. Yeats reflects the chaos and disillusionment following World War I. The poem contrasts the loss of order with a sense of impending revelation, suggesting a violent, non-Christian second coming is at hand, replacing the Christian one. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming
