GREEN DIWALI

We shouldn't live this Diwali day,
mindlessly just for pleasure,
rather, live this day,
thinking about  the future of our globe.

Certainly, its a matter of  contemplation,
what would happen one hundred years hence,
two hundred years hence,
if we live this day this way or that way.

No, I don't propose to forsake the celebrations,
I humbly appeal to make it echo-friendly,
Wish you all to celebrate it smoke free ,
as a green diwali.

Sweets, lights, earthen lamps, worships at households,
floral decorations, rangoli, new dresses, photography,
diwali wishes with smiling faces,
would make it a fully enjoyable diwali,
free from the smoke and the hazards of fire crackers.

Let our coming generation,
be proud of our discretion,
be at comfort in their days,
because we think for it, wisely today.

With the time 1

With the time,
 human body grows,
health complexes develop,
as the body moves gradually,
towards its decay.

Now, the mind begins to realize,
 the ephemerality of life,
and all its achievements.
The soul boards over the real purpose of life,
begins a search for the unseen,
who it feels created the whole world.

This pursuance of divinity,
quest for the almighty,
begins early for some souls,
but late for some others,
who besmeared with the mud,
of materialistic desires, selfishness and ego.

For yet some others,
this quest, this thirst,
never begins and they leave the earth,
as they never feel that,
life has something to do with the almighty.

With the time

With the time,
things and persons change,
but the same way.

At the daybreak the sun pops up in the east,
makes dawn a calm and quiet time.
Then, with the increasing presence
of  hotness of the sun it becomes midday,
a restless time; dusty and difficult to pass.
Then, the light that once had covered the time,
made the air hot, faints; the dusk arrives,
makes the time somewhat comfortable,
there is still light in the air but no hotness now.
 Then the remaining  light vanishes,
 with the fall of night, the darkness prevails,
 silence everywhere, until another day break. 

The same happens with human souls.
It takes the body and begins a journey,
with full of innocence in it  at the childhood,
like the pleasant pure morning air.
Then it meets crowd, the society,
the hotness of selfishness, dust of ego,
makes it restless and many times critical
 we call it maturity, adulthood.
Now the adult becomes  old,
mind becomes cool, thoughtful,
free from running after things,
ears become eager to hear the evening bells,
from the temple, to bow with humbleness.
Abruptly the light from within vanishes,
the soul leaves the body, doom darkness prevails,
silence everywhere, maybe until anther day break.

ତୋ କୃପା

ତୁମେ ସୁରୁପ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରମା ମୁଁ ଯେ ବାମନ ନଗଣ୍ଯ,
ଛୁଇଁବି ତୁମକୁ ବାରେ କରିଅଛି ମନ। 

ଯହିଁ ହେଉଥିବ ତୁମ ନାମ ଉଚାରଣ,
ଚାଲିଥିବ ଯେ ଠାବରେ ଭଜନ କିର୍ତନ,
ତହିଁ ରହି ସେ ରସ ମୁଁ କରୁଥିବି ପାନ,
ପବିତ୍ର ହୋଇବ ମୋର ଦୁଇ ପାପୀ କର୍ଣ। 

ଯହିଁ ଥିବ ତୁମ ମୂର୍ତି ପ୍ରଭୁ ଚକ୍ରଧର,
ନୂଆଁଇବି ମଥା ମୋର ହୋଇ ଶ୍ରଦ୍ଧାଭର,
ତୁମ ଚରଣ ଯୁଗଳ ଦେଖିବ ନୟନ,
ତୃଷାର୍ତ ହୃଦୟ ମୋର ହୋଇଯିବ ଧନ୍ଯ। 

ଯେ ପୁସ୍ତକେ ଥିବ ତୁମ ଲୀଳାର ବର୍ଣନ,
ଦିବାରାତ୍ର କରିବି ମୁଁ ତାହାର ପଠନ,
କୃପା ଯେବେ ହେବ ତୋର ଆହେ ଶ୍ୟାମଘନ,
କଲମ ମୋ କରିଯିବ ତୁମ ଗୁଣ ଗାନ।  

Live or exist

I wonder,
How people live untruthful,
throughout their life,
still they proclaim,
that they are pious.

They show their body
to the world
to attract people,
but hide their mind
from the world,
still they claim,
they are pristine. 

What might be coming,
to their when they stand,
before the mirror?

The first reflection,
might be pleasing for them,
when they see their body.
But when their mind,
might be thinking
about their persona,
their conscience might be,
pointing finger towards,
their such acts of falsehood.

How they live gulping,
the poison of falsehood?
How such fake people live?
Live or exist?

It is true that...

It is true that,

I am bitter for some people,

because when I speak,

I speak truth,

and some don't like,

my straightforwardness,

feel uneasy with my such words.

It is true that, 

people who lies,

every now and then deserts me,

when I say them to be truthful. 

What can be done,

I can't live without sunlight,

just because it is hot,

and causes irritation in my eyes.

It is true that,

it is equally difficult for me,

to digest their falsehood.

IMPORTANT

In my pursuit of truth and truthfulness,
divinity and piousness,
I learn a great lesson.

I learn,
I or you are not important,
no individual is important.

Our relationship, feelings
 enmity or friendship,
affection or hatred,
happiness and sorrow,
are just occurrences,
 and hence,can't be regarded as important.

Because they all are subject to decay,
would end up by the dint of the mighty time.

A layman gives importance to individuals,
events and happenings of the society.
 Only insignificant people,
follow insignificant things.

Significant people follows principle.

Following a principle,
remaining  honest to it,
with words, deeds and thought,
is important, for a seeker of divinity.

Ideology and principles are the heavens

Ideology and principles are the heavens.

Ideology and principles are the heavens,
we often dream,talk and draw their outlines,
but fail to reach to them ourselves,
when our turn comes,
we don't afford to live in them.

Just as we praise the beauty of a hilltop,
but don't dare to stay there for a long period.

Once we lie or hide a truth or commit a sin,
we get to know we do wrong across the lines,
violate the charter of principles we laid for ourselves,
we begin a damage control mission.

To cover the first one,
we shelter under another falsehood,
begin spreading lie against others,
Some of them lie so emphatically,
that they succeed to cover their corruption.


Then we assure ourselves,
"Take it easy""This much is not unfair, its ok."
 to save our own face,
from the vigilant eyes of our conscience.
One step ahead, we blame others
"Who under the sun is cent percent perfect?"


Each time we show excuse to ourselves,
we indulgently grant concession to ourselves,
and prepare ourselves to violate one more,
and become unscrupulous once more.

Paths are different

I do not nurture any ill-feeling,

 in my heart towards anyone,

I do not hold hatred in my core,

for anybody, for any reason.

But certainly people who are untruthful,

who do not have clear hearts, open acts

and people who covertly moves,

are my natural adversities.

Paths are different and distinct,

for those seek pleasure,

and for those who pursue divinity,

So are their choices and preferences.

Hence, 

I don't bother about the unlike souls,

No thoughts for them either.  

ତାକୁ ହୃଦେ ବାନ୍ଧିବା ନୁହେଁ ସହଜ

ତାକୁ  ହୃଦେ ବାନ୍ଧିବା ନୁହେଁ  ସହଜ,
ତାର ସମ୍ମତି ବିନା ଏ ନୁହେଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ
ତାକୁ ହୃଦେ ବାନ୍ଧିବା ନୁହେଁ  ସହଜ।

ମଉଜ ପ୍ରିୟ ମନ ସର୍ବଦା ଛନ ଛନ,
ରଙ୍ଗ ରସରେ ବୁଡି ରହିବାକୁ ଉଚ୍ଛନ୍ନ,
ତାକୁ ଭାବେ ଢାଳିବା ଦୁରୂହ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ, 
ତାକୁ  ହୃଦେ  ବାନ୍ଧିବା ନୁହେଁ  ସହଜ।

ତହିଁକୁ ମାୟା ଶକ୍ତି  ଜଗତରେ ପ୍ରବଳ,
ତା ବନ୍ଧନରେ ପଡ଼ି  ହୁଏ ଚିତ୍ତ ଦୁର୍ବଳ,
ଭକତି ନୁହେଁ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ଚିତ୍ତ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ,
ତାକୁ  ହୃଦେ  ବାନ୍ଧିବା ନୁହେଁ  ସହଜ।

ସବୁଥିରୁ ବାହାରି କଲେ ତାକୁ ଭରସା,
କରି ପାରିଲେ ଶ୍ରଦ୍ଧା ନ ରଖି ମନେ ଆଶା,
ନିଶ୍ଚେ ସଦୟ ହେବେ ସେ ଦେବରାଜ,  
ତାକୁ  ହୃଦେ  ବାନ୍ଧିବା ନୁହେଁ  ସହଜ।

You deserve more than what I give.

You deserve more than what I give.


We had differences, arguments,
bickering, disaffection, separation,
reunion, more arguments, heartburn.

These were the truth
of the  serpentine path,
on which our friendship goes.

But do you know one pleasant thing,
 about our seemingly turbulent,
and actually calm friendship?

Whatsoever positives I get,
you were always the sole giver,
Whatsoever successes I achieve,
she is you who is behind them.

Without any favor,
or intention to appreciate you,
I admit, from the core of my heart,
that you deserve my applaud,
my respect, my affection.
You deserve more than what I give.

Love is not worth a mature mind

Love is not worth,
a mature mind,
only an innocent heart,
is worthy of getting,
this precious emotion.

As love is a delicate,
and spontaneous flow,
from a beautiful heart,
free from expectations,
and desires.

A mature mind,
with it's wisdom
blends this emotion,
with the  thoughts,
of pros and cons,
and thus stops the person,
from delivering or receiving,
 pure love.

Wisdom does not believe,
that a lover can be selfless,
and free from expectations.

Oh unfortunate user of brain,
you are worth only to get,
lip deep love and never
a pure one.

एक पुत्र के लिए माता की चरण ही सब कुछ।

ଚରଣ କମଳ ବନ୍ଦେ ଜଗଜ୍ଜନନୀ,

ଚରୁ କାନ୍ତି କୈଳାସ ବିହାରିଣୀ,

ନୀଳାଦ୍ରିବିଜେ ୯

ନୀଳାଦ୍ରି ବିଜେ କଲେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଶ୍ରୀଜଗନ୍ନାଥ,
ନାଚି ନାମ ନାଦ କଲେ ଭକତ ସମସ୍ତ । 

ନୀଳକନ୍ଦରବାସୀଙ୍କ ଏ  କଥା ସୁନ୍ଦର, 
ନ ଦେଖି ଚାକ୍ଷୁଷ କଳିବା ଅତି କଠୋର।  

ନିର୍ବୋଧ ବଦ୍ଧବୁଦ୍ଧିକୁ ଏ ବାଂଶ ଚର୍ବଣ,
ନିବିଷ୍ଟଚିତ୍ତ ଭକ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଏ ମହତ ଧନ ।   

ପରାତ୍ପର ପରମା ମିଳନର ଏ  କଥା,
ପରମ ପବିତ୍ର ଆନନ୍ଦଦାୟକ ଏ  ଗାଥା ।

ପ୍ରୀତି ଗଭୀରତର ହୋଏ ଦ୍ଵନ୍ଦ ଅନ୍ତରେ,
ପ୍ରବାହ ତୀବ୍ର ହୋଏ ଯେହ୍ନେ  ବ୍ୟବଧାନରେ।

ପ୍ରସ୍ଫୁଟିତ ପୁଷ୍ପ ବାସ ସମ ଏ  ମିଳନ ,
ପ୍ରସାରିତ ହୋଇ ତୁଷ୍ଟ କଲା ଭକ୍ତଙ୍କ ମନ। 

ପ୍ରାଣେ ଥିଲେ ଦୃଢେ ସେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଜଗଦାନନ୍ଦ,
ପ୍ରାଣୀ ଲୀଳା ଶ୍ରବଣେ ପାଏ ପରମ ଆନନ୍ଦ। 

ଫୁଲ୍ଲଲୋଚନ ପ୍ରଫୁଲ୍ଲିତ କଲେ ଭକ୍ତ  ଚିତ୍ତ  
ଫେରିଲେ ଶ୍ରୀମନ୍ଦିରଶିରି ଶ୍ରୀଜଗନ୍ନାଥ।  

ଫାଟି ପଡିଲା ଶ୍ରୀମନ୍ଦିର ହର୍ଷ  ଉଲ୍ଲାସେ,
ଫେରିଲା ଫୁର୍ତି ପ୍ରାଣରେ କି ନିଶା ନାଶେ। 

If....So....

If I pelt a stone on the mud,
lay on the roadside,
who I would hurt,
the mud or myself?

The mud will remain mud,
a bit shattered,
but I would have,
a stain on my coat.

So I abstain from an involvement.

If I point my finger,
towards an immoral character,
who I would expose,
 her or me with my such act?

She will remain as her truth,
but I will be asked,
why I was there.

So I prefer to keep silence.
