I am Kritya. 
The intense word power,
which always moves along with the ultimate truth, which exists completely in accord with rightness.

 

 

kritya2008

Kritya's commitment to poetry is endorsed in the timely issues of its web journal circulated online on the very first of every month. The poems included transcend time and space speaking through the universal language of poetry and the arts. The stake is high for the unseen hands that work overtime to publish the journal on time.
