O'Himalayas

O’ Himalayas
Dignity of the mountains you are
Respect and pride
And the crown of whole country you are
Long live Himalayas.

The wisdom of intellectuals you are
Muse of ascetics
Within you dwell our Vedas and Puranas
O’ Himalayas!

Badri, kedar all pilgrimages
All the deities exist into your feet
The globe respects them all
O’ Himalayas
You are the abode of divinity
Long live Himalayas.

The abundance of food and wealth you are
Support in all pleasures and sorrows of life
All the adornments in life you are
You are there to guard us
O’ Himalayas!

Our villages and patios
Are thrilled with your blessings
Holy rivers Ganges and Yamuna originate from you
You create a lot of fountains
O’ Himalayas
Excessively lighthearted you are
Long live Himalayas.

Gardens of aromatic flowers and
Source of medicinal herbs you are
The place of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati
You are dignity of the land of Gods
O’ Himalayas!

It’s known to all needless to say
Above you only there is immense sky
Rest all with heads bow down
O’ Himalayas!
The hope and faith you are
Long live Himalayas.

Old and new civilizations you witnessed
The changing rules and traditions
You have been beholding since long back
We see you today
O’ Himalayas!

You observed the elegance of affluent people
And production of great farmers
Construction and destruction of several kingdoms
You witnessed
O’ Himalayas!
You are breathing history
Long live Himalayas.

Oh, a voice comes seeking permission to open eyes within and without, to unlatch all the windows of the self to let the light! Ah! See how it scatters into infinite colours, To say something about the energy that shakes and shivers my being, grossly and subtly, I just witness the play that unfolds, When I... behold such a highland beauty. Do I Dare to touch! Ah, Intangible! with all my adoration to the 'Divine Feminine'. Do I dare to ask you to let the self flow with the finitude of time, or the moment, synonyms though, and timeless. Do I dare, to dream of an utopian piece of earth, with all the highest that human eye and intelligence may grasp; This 'Adana Raga.... Shiva Shiva Shiva...' Do I dare, to dance, whole of body seems lifting up with this intense e...

Keywords: - Culture, Creativity, Poetry, Philosophy, Influence Introduction:- W hen a poem is penned down or any painting is delicately envisioned on the canvas or any mathematical derivation is expressed or a musical piece is created tenderly out of ecstasy with the strings of a lute; there are a lot of influential forces behind i...
