To the dusk!

A curtain of radiant golden, gently It removes

With setting in the west heavens,

Enabling beings to long to return homes


And here shines the moon 

With its innocence of soothing showers of bliss 

And with all the hidden messages 

Of roaming around in the subtle universe

Of one's dreaming self 


From mango grooves are gazing

these blissful trees in a muse

The enveloping silence

Of the cosmic heartbeats

Frees the self with no excuse


Oh! The dusk

Seems fathomless

The spell of your silent music;

The melodious harmony of

The heartbeats of existence


This journey to the dawn

Brings about all the memories

Of Self wondering grossly

In the outgoing of consciousness


Oh! The dusk

To The eternal Home lead I

To the light of lights

For much have wondered I

In the dark woods of words

To the wordless O'dusk!

It will be a gross mistake if one evaluated Negi just for the poignant songs he has written, sung and composed. He stands atop and beyond them all – A towering Adam-sized human being. His universal popularity and presence is bewildering. He is everywhere:  In Uttarakhand agitation, taking out “prabhat pheris” i...

कराह

तुम्हारी उम्रों के पैर थके हुए नजर आते हैं कि वो चल रही हैं सफर अपना, और बहुत लाज़मी भी है बातों का उसी तरह घटित होना जैसा कि उनको होना है तुम्हारे वहाँ होने से जहाँ कि तुम हो भल...

Bow, arrow and target!

Bow, arrow and target! Laden with the flowers of countless heavens And bloomed petals of thousand lotuses The ‘bow’ is OM Expressed into countless names and forms The individual Self, the ‘arrow’ is And, the Inexpressible, Inconceivable, Imperishable Brahman, the ‘target’ is In the silence of witnessing and watchfulness The ‘arrow’ should be pierced gently And tenderly grounded With the target hit, ‘arrow’ becomes the ‘target’ And gained is Oneness (Poem from my personal diary kept in between  the tranquil showers of Maandukya Upanishad and Guru Granth Sahib) Dr Deepak Bijalwan  Image from - https://randomrantingsofacreativemind.wordpress.com
