Temple of religion OR Temple with vision ???

AS i drifted back to that point of juncture, i found myself perched on that stone which led to the open sky and beautiful view of the woods. i closed my eyes and an undercurrent of realization drew me to apprehension.....

Religion has always guided us. we have not followed it in the truest sense but FEARED it. instead of taking a back seat in our mind driven by RATIONALITY and OBJECTIVITY and guiding the driver if it looses its control,religion has taken the front seat and driven our mind

Temple of religion
OR
temple with vision
what is more indispensable?

We adore love
we implore them
not to hate
in the process
why we make love and hate
an aspect of fate ?

let there be freedom
he said
but how can there be freedom
when we are shackled
by not the real him

the real him is in you
the real him, i say
is what you do

let fate be a lore
and success will be yours
for sure
whats the price we pay ?
for religion, our own being
for vision, a compassionate mind

temple of religion
or
temple with vision

Oh the mystery!!!

Oh the mystery unravel thyself
Like the sunlight
Tunneling the reigning cloud

Oh the mystery drag me out
From the tendrils of enchantment
Encircled by love, of their sorts

Oh the mystery tell their fate
What went pass was love
What lies today is playground
Playground of their sorts
Playground of their acts

Oh the mystery strike me hard
On my heart, bruised with their love
Love of their sorts

Oh the mystery, the ultimate one
I not born to understand thee
Hope I will endure, some day
The transit from their sorts
To the ultimate one

Oh the mystery say me soft
“Don’t let your love fall down
Let it just drift along
Forever on this earth
You shall, one day
Pluck the ultimate one”!!

Road to Rancharda

rancharda is a small village near ahmedabad with a picturesque lake view......

Sun as it were standing there
Clouds covering all its flair
The roads shining with heaven’s love
And claiming to be the path to heaven

Heaven’s love is pouring down
Giving a new look to the town
Tainted grass revamp their sheen
Covering the earth with a new gown

The mud is sweating after long
Fragrance striking my heart’s gong
Reverberating, resonating
The hysteria strikes me strong
And I listen to nature’s song

The modernity flourishing at the left
And sheep gazing at the right
As I pass through the
Boulevard of this confluence
Nature and men both exist!!!!!

To a dying poet-something really random

Read not your pain
through the pangs of your verses
fall not thy esteem
don't weep, don't curse
shy away not oh poet
from reality

A tabla virtuoso

India has been a prominent player in bringing up new music maestros and giving them a platform to perform. Indian classical music,from its inception has a cultural confluence of both Indian and Pakistani cultural both being quite similar but interestingly different. we have seen maestros like ustad bade ghulam ali khan moving from Pakistan to India and many of them still find a lot of space to perform and create their on niche in the indian music minds. But some like ustad tari khan have come up in spite of not foraying into the indian music arena. He hails from the popular Punjab gharana, one which also belongs to the legendary ustad zakir hussain khan sahib. Lets not fall in a debate over who is better in them. Enjoy this video of ustad tari khan with pundit ramesh mishra on sarangi. You will be dumbfounded to see his command over "terekit" in this gharanedar peskkash.i hope you will like it!!!

darkness

For he who believes in darkness is courageous. Close your eyes and enter the world of darkness, which may be black or brown. Darkness gives space to your imaginations and thoughts; you foresee the unpredictable future and cast your expectations and dreams at the place you want without demur. For the darkness which symbolizes grief, pain, distortion, death and mystery; it also symbolizes light, which in every age had widened a man’s horizon. In the Dark Age people were subjected to atrocities and the vanguards of radical thinking were suppressed and their theories were falsified. But it gave rise to the “radical thinking” which forced people to start a revolution and stand upright against the tyrants. The necessity to gain freedom from the controlled thoughts gave rise to a new age. After every night comes a day leaving the night’s grim. Darkness symbolizes failure and the courage to fight back. You arise a profound feeling-“I shall rise and resurrect…”

Darkness is patience, perseverance, strength and the very essence of life. So I say

“Darkness I adore you

For you, arise a hope

For a death, to stand and resurrect”

Interest on realization

The answer was so simple

But didn’t struck my mind

And then it came to me

Spoke aloud, but still an answer to find

Hey boy! It whispered

Thought was it, I realized

It is not your interest, I heard

Not a passion, neither your pride

It is just a path you followed

Path so simple, trodden and smooth

At my eye’s wink, all was gone

I woke up to realize, it was a dream

Got up and looked at the sun

Trying to re-collect what was the question

What is your interest? It said

With a heart full of regret

I got the answer, it was

Music, my interest on realization…
