The face of the Truth

The Face of the Truth

O' Lord! Kedar mere a glimpse of 'the beyond' are you

O'Lord! Badri, roam I in your territory

Seeking all through eternity 

The Face of the Truth 

Beyond the collective consciousness 

Of thousands of years 


And here the day breaks after 

Millions of days and equal nights 


O' my beloved existence 

with my entirety I adore you  

That emanates from the deep

unfathomable oceans of Truth, Beauty, and Love,

 

Brahman! (ब्रह्म)The Source of this magical planet's brilliance 

And of the luminous beings of heavens throughout eternity 

From origination to dispersion

From expressible to in-expressible  


O' Lord! Kedar.


My beloved Ghantakarn, in the constant muse of the Shiwatwa are you

Bless me with the paths of higher blooming 

You, my love! blooms in thousands of flowers

of fragrance transcendent and immanent,


Beyond all the forms O ' Brahman 

Appear you in all possible forms,

Inherently transcendent are you

Near the musically soothing Mandakini 

You are in the gracious fountains 

In the mystic clouds of heavens 


The face of the Truth is covered with  

Your orb of radiant golden…

O’ The Fosterer may you remove that orb so that I, 

The seeker may behold thy most blessed Self


Lead I to 'the beyond' 

Beyond the realms of physiology and psychology 

Beyond the realms of all philosophical rubbish 

Beyond philosophia ultima,

To the unimaginable 

To the mystic realms of existence 


O' lord 

Lead I Home 

The Being who dwells within Thee,

He am I


To

The Formless (In Muse of the Isha Upanishad)

From "Shivarpanamastu: offerings to Shiva"

Do I Dare!

Do I Dare! शान्तं शिवमद्वैतम् śāntaṃ śivam advaitam — Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad 7 Do I dare! To allow my mind, to grope words to express This serendipity that falls with the growing night, Do I dare! 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...

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...

Transcending Borders

  Transcending Borders   Narendra Singh Negi and the Ethos of Romanticism Narendra Singh Negi, a poetic voice resonating through the gorgeous valleys of the Uttarakhand Himalayas, exemplifies the Romantic sensibility in a manner that transcends mere physical landscapes. His songs and poems, much like the European Romantics and American Transcendentalists, echo a longing for transcendence; an existential wish to connect profoundly with nature, humanity, and the cosmos. What sets Negi apart is his use of the vernacular tongue, drawing from the everyday life of shepherds, grass reapers, and villagers, blending the simplicity of the life of hill folk with the profound depth of Romantic thought. Negi’s songs and poems, akin to the poetic expressions of Romantic poets like Wordsworth, Keats, and Robert Frost, reflect an unfathomable reverence for nature. His lyrics whole-heartedly celebrate the feelings of love with a deep exploration of the human condition. Yet, h...
