बहुत ही नादान है वो,

ज़रा समझाइए ना उसे,

बात न करने से कभी,

मोहब्बत कम नहीं होती…

 

She is too innocent,

Please explain to her that

Not talking to someone

Doesn’t reduce love for him!

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

रूह से जुड़े रिश्तों पर

फरिश्तों के पहरे होते है

कोशिशें कर लो तोड़ने की

Soul-related relationships

are guarded by the angels

If you try breaking them

they consolidate further…

नींद लेने का मुझे ऐसा

कोई शौक भी नहीं

अगर तेरे ख्वाब न देखूँ

Though not so very

fond of falling asleep…

But then can’t even live

without seeing your dreams

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

छोटा सा लफ्ज है मुहब्बत

मगर तासीर है इसकी गहरी

गर दिल से करोगे इसे तुम

Love is a little word, though

But its effect is so deep

If you do it with all your heart

Whole world lies at your steps

English Literature ☆ Stories ☆ Weekly Column – Samudramanthanam – 5 Preparation ☆ Mr. Ashish Kumar

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Mr Ashish Kumar

(It is difficult to comment about young author Mr Ashish Kumar and his mythological/spiritual writing.  He has well researched Hindu Philosophy, Science and quest of success beyond the material realms. I am really mesmerized.  I am sure you will be also amazed.  We are pleased to begin a series on excerpts from his well acclaimed book  “Samudramanthanam” .  According to Mr Ashish  “Samudramanthanam is less explained and explored till date. I have tried to give broad way of this one of the most important chapter of Hindu mythology. I have read many scriptures and take references from many temples and folk stories, to present the all possible aspects of portrait of Samudramanthanam.”  Now our distinguished readers will be able to read this series on every Saturday.)    

Amazon Link – Samudramanthanam 

 ☆ Weekly Column – Samudramanthanam – 5  Preparation ☆ 

Brahma said,” main point of discussion here is who is such a powerful in the universe that can be rope to churn such a divine ocean?

Bali said, “my dear father, Brahma, Naga loka is one of realm of underworld which comes under my rules. So, I can make a good long rope of different Nagas, serpents for churning of that ocean of milk”

Brahma reply, “my dear son, the flow and speed of ‘Kshirasāgara’ is not gentle. It can kill all of your Nagas which you are planning to use as and churning rope”

Indra said, “why not we ask help of Lord Vishnu himself might be Adi SesNaga can help us for this churning”

Brahma said again, “Adi has thousand hoods at one side. How can any team either Sura or Asura will hold that end in their hands to implement force to churn ocean? And second thing is Adi sesaNaga itself live in ‘Kshirasāgara’.  Adi sesa make waves of ‘Kshirasāgara’ so gentle so that life can sustain easily on universe. If he changes his position or stand up from his current posture than whole flow of ‘Kshirasāgara’ disturbed so badly that no one can save this universe. So, we even can’t imagine to involve Adi sesa in this activity”

Everyone is silent after sometime Varuna said, “we have an idea, why not we go to Lord Shiva and request him to give King of Naga ‘Vasuki’ to use as a churning rope for our ‘Kshirasāgara’ churning. ‘Vasuki’ is second powerful after Adi sesa and have all the qualities to hold the force of churning and ‘Kshirasāgara’. His body is as strong as Indra vajra”

All including Lord Brahma said,” yes, it is very good idea.”

Before anyone say anything, a light is appeared in space and soon Lord Shiva appears in front of all and then said to Lord Brahma, “Brahma this churning is for good of Suras and Asura and suggested by Lord Vishnu himself. So ‘Vasuki’ will definitely help in this historical activity”

After this Shiva disappear in space.

Lord Brahma said, “one problem got its solution but other is still there. You got churning rope but who will be work as churning rod to hold that churning rope?”

Narada muni come with chanting of ‘Narayana Narayana’ he said, who is stronger and firmer than ‘mount Mandara’. He is good candidate to hold the pressure and looseness and tightness of Naga Vasuki body holding and move by Sura and Asura?”

Mount Mandara agree easily to do help of Sura and Asura for churning of ‘Kshirasāgara’ ocean.

Then Brahma said, “Vasuki represent tamas or dark force of nature and so the Asura so I think it will be more comfortable for Asura to hold mouth side of ‘Vasuki’”

Bali said with folded hand towards Brahma, “as you suggest”

All preparation was done both the teams of Sura and Asura have come across ‘Kshirasāgara’ to do the task which was never happened before and will not happen again. First time Sura and Asura are looking so cooperative, but I think that is because they both have some hidden reason to fulfill their long pending desires.

Naga Vasuki and mount Mandara also on time. The sound of hiss of Vasuki is so instance that sharper pain is started in the foreheads of almost all the Suras or Devtas.

Lord Brahma said to Vasuki, “O! great among Nagas, the sound of your hiss making uncomfortable to many Sura so please reduce the pitch of your hiss sound so that the activity will start”

Vasuki said, “Ok”

Then he reduced the sound of his hiss. As many Sura and Asura come across Vasuki Naga mouth, the air which was generating from the force of his hiss throw them away in space. All were in panic.

Then it is decided that Vasuki will keep his mouth and hood in a vertical position towards sky for around 100 yojanas. This trick start working and now all the toxins and air which was coming out from the mouth of Vasuki is start going up in the sky.

☆ Karna ☆

My parenthood unknown

Brought up by Adiratha, the charioteer

My energy, undaunted and boundless

Like a true Kshatriya, I know no fear

 

Revelled everyone at Arjuna’s valour

The greatest archer he is known

Display I did all feats like him

And yet, Drona’s face has a frown

 

‘A charioteer’s son,’ I am called

Do my merits have meaning none?

Are all the fights and battles

By the virtue of caste and birth won?

 

It is Duryodhana who stood by me

And in his act, has touched by heart

Made I am a warlord by him

And till the end, with him, I shall not part!

 

Even if the heavens fall upon me

And if I have to lead a life of misery and pain

Duryodhana’s side I shall not leave

Through summer’s heat and deluge of rains!

 ☆ Weekly Column – Samudramanthanam -4  Lost of Shree ☆ 

Once there is a disagreement between Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was not agreed that all the command of universe is given in the hands of Devtas and appoint Indra as king of heaven. Shiva didn’t do any prejudice between Devtas and Danvas. But this partiality by Brahma make Shiva angry. Shiva has decided that not to take participate on world affairs but anger start to appear around him in his aura. So finally, he decided to transfer his anger in tangible form and planned to transfer his anger to Anasuya, the wife of sage Atri. From this portion of Shiva deposited into Anasuya, a child was born, who was named ‘Durvasa’ (lit. one who is difficult to live with). Because he was born of Shiva’s anger, he had an irascible nature.

One fine day when ‘Durvasa’ doing meditation with his closed eyes. A garland was fall from heaven from the hands of an apsara, nymph and hold on the branch of one tree. Very sweet smell starts flowing all around from the flowers of that garland. All people near that area start losing their senses.

That garland falls in the neck of sage ‘Durvasa’ from that tree. He wore it on his brow. Resuming his wanderings, the sage came across Indra riding his elephant, Airavata, attended by the gods. Durvasa, still in his state of frenzy, threw the garland at Indra, who caught it and placed it on Airavata’s head. The elephant was irritated by the fragrance of the nectar in the flowers, so it threw the garland to the ground with its trunk. Durvasa was enraged to see his gift treated so callously and cursed Indra that he would be cast down from his position of dominion over the three worlds, just as the garland was cast down. Indra immediately begged Durvasa’s forgiveness, but the sage refused to retract or even soften his curse and went on his way. Because of the curse, Indra and the devas were diminished in strength and shorn of their luster. From this wife of Indra ‘Sachi’ who was the incarnation of goddess Lakshmi turns into statue of rock. the “Airavata’ also go deep in to ocean of Milk ‘Kshirasāgara’ and all the good and auspiciousness of Devtas lost as the reaction of this action.

Great sages suggest Indra and other Devtas to do a great scarify to get grace of goddess Lakshmi again on heaven and in the life of all Suras.

Many great sages gathered at the bank of river Sarasvati to do this yajna, scarify for Devtas. Bhrigu was arrogant and was filled with ahamkara Ego, due to his extreme austerities. At the time of yajna all the great saints and sages could not decide that out of the Trinity Lord Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva to whom should they offer Pradhanta (Master) of that Yagya and to whom they have to scarify yajnas oblation. With the consent of all the great saints presents there, it was decided that Bhrigu will test and decide who was pre-eminent.

Upon being entrusted with the task Maharishi Bhrigu decided to test each of the Trimurti. Being ignored by Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, he visited Lord Vishnu. Vishnu was asleep and Brighu kicked him in the chest to wake him up. Vishnu smilingly welcomed Bhrigu who realized his egotistical outbursts with extreme pain. He begged for forgiveness and Vishnu forgave him.

But from this action Wife of Lord Vishnu Goddess ‘Lakshmi’ got very upset and decided to future shrink her grace even from the life of sages and other living creatures of universe.

World without Lakshmi is more than horrible. All bad omen and actions are happening all around.

Seizing this opportunity, the Asuras led by Bali waged war against the gods. The gods were routed and turned to Lord Brahma for help. Lord Brahma directed them to seek refuge with Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu in turn, advised them to call a truce with the Asuras and work together with them to churn the ocean of milk and obtain the Amrita (nectar of immortality), on the pretext of sharing it with them. Lord Vishnu promised that he would ensure only the devas drank the Nectar and re obtain their former power so they could once again defeat the Asuras.

☆ Weekly column ☆ Poetic World of Ms. Neelam Saxena Chandra # 47 ☆

☆ Hidimbi ☆

As he watched the Pandavas, a desire to kill

Mounted in Hidimba and his sister Hidimbi he asked

To go and lure the strong Bheema

And Hidimbi did confront him to complete the task.

 

However, seeing the well-built and handsome Bheema

For Hidimbi, it was love at first sight

A fight between Bheema and Hidimba ensued

Oh! It was a confrontation of might!

 

Contemplating that Hidimbi shall seek avenge

For her loving brother’s demise

Assumed Bheema that he should kill her too

After all, he had very little choice.

 

Hidimbi humbly pleaded to Kunti

To instruct Bheema to save her life

Implored to her that there was no hatred in her

Rather, she loved Bheema and wished to be his wife.

 

Accepted as a daughter-in-law by Kunti

Bheema and Hidimbi led a life wonderful

Was born a son, Ghatotkacha, out of the wedlock

And the world to Bheema seemed oh so beautiful!

 

However, his destiny lay elsewhere

Bheema could not have remained bounded for prolonged

In pursuit of his duty, Bheema had to move away

But for his wife and son’s love is always longed!

Her first book कुछ लम्हे  is a culmination of her interest. Her time management of family,  profession (Teaching in engineering science) and literature is exemplary. Today we present her poem “Who will think about the teachers in this pandemic?”. 

☆ Weekly Column ☆ From Nidhi’s Pen  #17 ☆ 

☆ Who will think about the teachers in this pandemic? ☆  

 

When schools and colleges are closed salaries are cut down,

Money is not the only motivation, but love for students is the only crown,

Who will think about the teachers?

 

Digital transformation, PPT preparation before class,

Making a difference in the lives of students, the pain of hard work surpasses,

Who will think about the teachers?

 

Government concern about the student’s screen time,

But teachers’ attendance filling, online tests, completing syllabus on stipulated time,

Who will think about the teachers?

 

Parents are worried about their jobs and businesses,

The devotion of teachers, inspiration and appreciation seem nuisance,

Who will think about the teachers?

 

Teachers mold students’ mind, guide their thoughts,

They are building nations that is their fault,

Who will think about the teachers in this pandemic?

इन्हें हम अपने पाठकों से साझा करने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं । उन्होंने पाठकों एवं उन अनाम साहित्यकारों से अनुरोध किया है कि कृपया सामने आएं और ऐसे अनाम रचनाकारों की रचनाओं को उनका अपना नाम दें। 

कैप्टन  प्रवीण रघुवंशी जी ने भगीरथ परिश्रम किया है और इसके लिए उन्हें साधुवाद। वे इस अनुष्ठान का श्रेय  वे अपने फौजी मित्रों को दे रहे हैं।  जहाँ नौसेना मैडल से सम्मानित कैप्टन प्रवीण रघुवंशी सूत्रधार हैं, वहीं कर्नल हर्ष वर्धन शर्मा, कर्नल अखिल साह, कर्नल दिलीप शर्मा और कर्नल जयंत खड़लीकर के योगदान से यह अनुष्ठान अंकुरित व पल्लवित हो रहा है। ये सभी हमारे देश के तीनों सेनाध्यक्षों के कोर्स मेट हैं। जो ना सिर्फ देश के प्रति समर्पित हैं अपितु स्वयं में उच्च कोटि के लेखक व कवि भी हैं। वे स्वान्तः सुखाय लेखन तो करते ही हैं और साथ में रचनायें भी साझा करते हैं।

क्या करेगा रौशन उसे आफ़ताब बेचारा

लबरेज़ हो जो खुद अपने ही रूहानी नूर से

जब चाँद ही हो आफ़ताब से ज़्यादा नूरानी 

तो उसे क्या ताल्लुक़ात अंधेरे या उजाले से

 

How can poor sun illumine him 

Who is self-effulgent with spiritual light

When moon itself is brighter than sun

Then what’s its concern with darkness or light

 

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

 

गुफ़्तुगू करे हैं अक्सर

उंगलियां ही अब तो..

ज़बां तरसती है

कुछ कहने के लिए..

 

Fingers only chat 

these days now ..

The tongue  longs

To say something…

 

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

तेरी बात को यूँही…

 खामोशी से मान लेना

 ये भी एक अंदाज़ है,

मेरी  नाराज़गी  का…

 

Just simply accepting

your  words  quietly…

Is  also  my  way  of

expressing resentment…

 

❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ 

रूबरू  होने   की  तो  छोड़िये,

गुफ़्तगू से  भी  क़तराने  लगे हैं,

ग़ुरूर ओढ़ते  हैं  रिश्ते  अब तो,

हैसियत पर अपनी इतराने लगे हैं…

 

Leave apart being face to face,

They’ve begun  to avoid talking,

Relations are so conceited now,

Proudly unmask their haughtiness

English Literature ☆ Stories ☆ Weekly Column – Samudramanthanam -3 Manifestation of Goddess ☆ Mr. Ashish Kumar

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Mr Ashish Kumar

(It is difficult to comment about young author Mr Ashish Kumar and his mythological/spiritual writing.  He has well researched Hindu Philosophy, Science and quest of success beyond the material realms. I am really mesmerized.  I am sure you will be also amazed.  We are pleased to begin a series on excerpts from his well acclaimed book  “Samudramanthanam” .  According to Mr Ashish  “Samudramanthanam is less explained and explored till date. I have tried to give broad way of this one of the most important chapter of Hindu mythology. I have read many scriptures and take references from many temples and folk stories, to present the all possible aspects of portrait of Samudramanthanam.”  Now our distinguished readers will be able to read this series on every Saturday.)

Sage Bhrigu and his wife Khyati do Namste, salute to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi  and then Bhrigu said, “O! all preservation, the core essence of you and mother Lakshmi  is already manifested in different creatures of nature, but now it is our hearty wish that Goddess Lakshmi will take her incarnation in our home, to remove obstacles of  earthly creature.

Lord Vishnu smiles and said, “Bhrigu you are above me, and my duty is to help great sages to sustain and run universe as per decided cycles and if you wish to be then Goddess Lakshmi will definitely take incarnation from the womb of your wife ‘Khyati’.

Almost one year later, on the night of Sharad Purnima in the hut of sage Bhrigu smell of millions of roses arise and moon was showering his radiant white light over that place. All the beautiful and symmetrical aspects of universe are surrounding the Bhrigu hut. Around 12:00 a.m. Khyati has given birth to a girl child.

Gajraj, king of elephants came with his companions and do showering of Khsirshagar milk of that born girl who was actually the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. The little girl was born with the cushion of lotus flowers. All the good sign of fortunate start happening around that place. Many types of treasures start flowing over there.

The twelve Adityas are Data, Aryaman, Mitra, Sakra, Varuna, Amsa, Bhaga, Vivasvan, Pusa, Savita, Tvasta and Vishnu (incarnation of maha Vishnu, one of the trimurti of hindus), 8 Vasus are Dhara, Dhruva, Soma, Ahas, Anila, Prabhasa and Anala, 11 Rudras, the incarnations of Lord Shiva are Ajaikapat, Ahirbudhnya, Virupaksa, Suresvara, Jayanta, Bahurupa, Aparajita, Savitra, Tryambaka, Vaivasvata and Hara.

Brahma married his daughter Shachi, to Indra and made Indra as kind of heaven and all Devtas. In fact, he was not deserving contender for king and inferior from Varuna in all counts. But it was done and now Varuna was very upset and decided to be spy of Asura or Danava whose location was fixed to under earth. Asura were also not happy with this arrangement.

Cycle of time is passing like always.

☆ Weekly column ☆ Poetic World of Ms. Neelam Saxena Chandra # 46 ☆

☆ Guru for the Kurus ☆

The princes of Hastinapur one fine day

Came out of the city to Vita-danda play

While they thus enjoyed the game, the vita fell

Into a well, to their horror and dismay.

 

The lost vita unable to reclaim

The princes looked at the well with disgust

When their glance fell upon a Brahmin

Who challenged them and cussed

 

“Shame on your courage, shame on merits;

That princes of Bharat’s race can’t vita recover!

Watch me salvage the lost vita and also my ring,”

Said the Brahmin and his ring into well hurled.

 

A cluster of reeds he uprooted

Some mantras and chants expressed

Made a chain by joining one reed to the next

With a smile, the lost vita he fetched

 

Then, an arrow he fired next from his bow

And with a lightning speed, the ring pierced

Came out the ring with the arrow

Holding it in his hand, the Brahmin sneered.

 

The speechless princes looked at him in disbelief

Saluted him for his expertise unique

Asked him his name and his history

“Ask Bheeshma!” he replied with mystique.

 

When Bheeshma was informed of the act

He knew, that the Brahmin was none other than Drona

Invited him with due respect to the Palace

A guru for the Kurus had been found  to their skills hone!
