Welcome to Kedara
A personal website by Ruben Verweij
My name is Ruben Verweij and this is my personal wiki, digital garden, blog, or, to summarize: personal website. At the moment, I’m writing mostly about the following topics: Sustainability (Being kind to our natural environment), Philosophy (the fundamental questions of life), Sanskrit (Sanskrit texts and the study of the language), Personal web (lightweight, fast, personal websites: a.k.a. Indieweb, smallweb) and Yoga (practice and philosophy). I also keep track of what I’m focused on now.
This website is bilingual: currently, 54% of the pages are written in English and 46% of the pages are written in Dutch.
Some of my pages
Some of the pages that I've been working on lately include Back to sketching, Bhagavad Gītā and Sandhi. I’ll post (plant?) pages before they’re fully fleshed out and I’ll frequently update them. Once they’re complete enough for a first version, they’re also shown on my blog. Other, somewhat developed pages include:

Explore by topic
There’s no chronological order in the digital garden. Instead, the pages are interconnected by links and organized by topic. Therefore, topics are a good starting point to explore my digital garden. The topics with the most pages are shown below.
