God Calling in Poetry

Frank beautifully crafts a spiritual journey in poetry so inspirational he gets you to think and reconsider your own. You read a poem, then reread it, as every verse is independently fascinating, even as it links to another verse. His book engages you in a personal, soul-binding experience reliving one's spiritual journey and seeing it unfold.--George Metry, Program Manager, Washington, DC Frank takes us on a journey as he peels the spiritual away from the ritual, forcing the reader to focus on the essence of faith. His style of poetry is gentle, and without realizing it, his journey becomes ours. A Spiritual Traveler is a must-read for anyone trying to get beyond the superficial practice of faith that focuses on tribalism and division.--Satjit Singh, visiting lecturer at Bayes Business School, London Frank Raj's poetry is a beautiful mix of the spiritual, the personal, and the political. I found him when he penned an entire poem as an amazing review of my book. Read his poetry to join his fascinating journey of the self and the inner self.--Debasish Roy Chowdhury, journalist and co-author of To Kill a Democracy: India's Passage to Despotism Frank Raj's poetry reflects the dignity and grace of his fascinating spiritual journey. Simple and direct, the verses resound with sheer power as they question age-old ideas and beliefs with extraordinary vision and insight.--Ikram Shikooh, Dubai-based media consultant Frank's poems are sincere and straightforward, and a line from one captures the essence for me: 'I am weary of a world divided as Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews.' That Frank considers the adherents of all religions to be equally in search of Truth (satyam, nityam, and anantham, in Upanishadic texts) is amply evident. I admire his bhakti and shraddha and say this with the highest respect.--Prema Raghunath, author of The Cousins
