Thank you for saying yes. It is a privilege to work with a piece of this depth, and I have taken great care with this.
Below is the rewritten description for Womb of Time. You are free to use it in full, adapt it, or take only the parts that feel right to you. It is yours entirely.
WOMB OF TIME — Rewritten Description
What existed before time began? And what does Time itself know of God?
Womb of Time is a philosophical epic poem that dares to ask the questions most writing quietly avoids. Written by Air Marshal (Dr) L K Verma, physician, scientist, and poet, this extraordinary work of over 15,000 words places Time and the God-concept in direct dialogue, exploring the eternal questions of existence, creation, and cosmic consciousness through the sustained power of verse.
his is not poetry as ornament. It is poetry as inquiry, rigorous, meditative, and deeply human, where science and spirituality are not opposites but companions in the search for meaning. Drawing on a rare convergence of medical knowledge, philosophical study, and a lifetime of reflective thought, Dr. Verma constructs a cosmic architecture in language, one in which Time is not a backdrop to human life but a living, conscious force with its own relationship to the divine.
For readers of metaphysical poetry, contemplative verse, and theological philosophy, for anyone who has ever felt that the deepest questions deserve the most careful attention, Womb of Time offers an encounter that is both intellectually challenging and spiritually resonant.
A work of rare ambition. A poem for those who read to think, and think to understand.
A few notes on the choices I made:
I opened with two questions because readers of philosophical and contemplative poetry are drawn in by questions, not statements. It signals immediately that this is a work that takes inquiry seriously.
I wove in your background as Air Marshal, physician, and scientist early, because that convergence is genuinely rare and gives the work an authority that very few poets can claim. It is part of what makes Womb of Time unlike anything else in its field.
I used terms like metaphysical poetry, contemplative verse, theological philosophy, and cosmic consciousness deliberately. These are the exact phrases readers type when searching for works like yours on Amazon, Goodreads, and StoryGraph.
Please use this however feels right to you, on your website, your blog, or anywhere the book is introduced to new readers.
If you would like any adjustments to the tone, length, or emphasis, I am very happy to revise it. And if, after seeing this, you feel there is value in what I do and would like to explore further, I would welcome that conversation.
With deep respect and warm regards,

Indians In Mirror, View of a Common Man
What is the mind? It has different connotations for different people. In daily life, when confronted with anger, one may feel compelled to vent their frustration. While procrastinating, I have not yet made up my mind. For ascetics, controlling the mind is a pathway to salvation. Can Mind control itself? Does the Mind have a self-corrective tool through which it can exercise self-control? In our bodies, where does the Mind reside? Is it our heart or brain that has something to do with it? Some suspect the pineal glands in our brain may be its abode. Or, as brilliant 17th-century philosopher René Descartes opined, the Mind is the same thing as the soul. Or is it a supercomputer with several gigabytes of memory with a powerful processing chip? Still more questions persist. Is the Mind a controller of our actions, or is it just a tenant in our body that never pays any rent? These are some of the questions that Laljee Verma has sought to answer through his brilliant philosophical exposition, “Selfish Mind, Slavish Body, A Quest into Self-Identity”.
As a first step to understanding the intricacies of the mind, the author explores the search for self. Our genetic inheritance—called “Prarabdha” in Hindi—needs further enculturation through life experiences. Since the Mind-Brain complex offers few leads, one takes a course in religion. This is where Laljee excels. The author has drawn inspiration from both Indian and Western philosophical discourses, resulting in a profound understanding of the Mind-Body complex. The strength of the book lies in its attempt to discuss the diverse viewpoints. Some of the key concepts addressed in the book include:
. The relationship between the conscious Mind and the brain.
. The conjunction between the mind and the material world.
. The intricacies of the mind include the conscious and subconscious states, as well as the ego.
The author has beautifully crafted the mental states, the why and how of an act, and discusses the intricacy of a thought as it occurs in the mind and steers the reader to pious doing or misdoing.
Selfish Mind, Slavish Body is a deeply philosophical yet very readable work that forces the reader to frequently pause and contemplate the events in their life and search for the way forward. To a scientific mind, it encourages him to investigate: is the mind truly a master who takes all our decisions, or is it simply a consequence of some neural activity in the brain?
