Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BUT The Past the sung but unclear The knot so hard unbreakable The notes lovely not at times Still the Present does adore the steps! Rung a thousand tunes afresh The dawn anew and fragrant neo! The count never ends my dear! The spells alive loud and bold! The Present does dribble into the Past- No rather flow at times, cascade Roll trickle or ooze. Pour surge Rush gush, sweep self to the Doom! Sweet the singing sweeter than ever! O My Dear, carefree not I am! The ambiguity is the curse, yet There is the But the Rescuer!

Book excerpt: THE FLOW OF THE ETERNALScience is yet to arrive at a final definition of life. It still divides everything into the living and the dead. But poets of lore treated it as a continuous flow from the life of the universe to the life of the tiniest sub-atomic particle and back. They experienced it and gave expression to the experience. The Vedas and the Upanishads are collections of these expressions.The art of yoga is the way to the experience, the essence of which is the process and the product of integration of one's life with the life of the universe.Fusion is the key word. Fusion of light with darkness, hate with love, knowledge with ignorance and so on. It is highly rewarding. Art and literature are means to it.In the oriental tradition of aesthetics, beauty is the state of an appreciable standard of integration. The greater it is, the more beautiful. The most beautiful is the perfectly integrated. It is the goal of life and the unmanifest persuasion behind all variations and explorations. So poetry like any other human endeavour should aspire to achieve it.Dr. Balakrishnan's poems do exactly that. His training and experience makes him amply qualified. He is a physician, he has seen various specimens of integration or the lack of it in terms of body parts and emotional inputs. He has apparently had his holy bath in texts of yore, the essence of the teachings going into him much deeper than skin. He knows, not just by theory but by practice too.THE FLOW OF THE ETERNALWell, what is the eternal? None else than the only factor that continues unchanged and unchangeable in us all through our lives and beyond. There is proof for the existence of such a factor. It can be discerned by four simple questions and the common-sense answers to them. Q.1: Is it or is it not right to suppose that there is an underlying force behind this vast and complicated universe? None can say it is not there. Q.2: Where can that force be residing - in a corner of the universe or everywhere in it simultaneously? Everywhere is the natural answer. Q.3: Should that force not be in us too as we too are in the universe? Of course, it should. Q.4: In that case, everything else in us being ephemeral, is it not the real us? The answer is the mahavakya 'Tat Twam Asi'.The problem is it is beyond words so all verbal effort to grasp it will come to nothing. But words can take us to its door step. This is what Dr. Balakrishnan's poetry does. And he does it beautifully. Mystic poets and Zen story tellers did the same in their own style. This poet does it in the style of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the so-called literary communities of our society perhaps extinguishing rapidly, there is bleak hope to rejuvenate the public by means of sublime literatures. What to speak of the dormant intelligentsia ideally expected to breathe life in and calcifically strengthen the polio-affected bones of the continually degenerating people, the global politics is ever striving, adversely and negatively, to bring about a jungle raj in every nook and corner! The extant society is expressly galloping backward towards the inestimable old ages where the muscles survived immortally and benedictorily, and the cannibals and vampires tamed the weak and down-trodden for their delicious foods, sexual gratifications and social dominances. Actually, the present civilization is the replica of that civilization at which we mock meaninglessly thinking that ours is a highly sophisticated world.
Download or read book Across the Mystic Shore written by Suroopa Mukherjee and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arrival of the young boy in an upper middle class Bengali household triggers a gripping story of love, desire and renunciation. Set in two different cities, New Delhi and Varanasi, Across The Mystic Shore explores the entwining lives of four women forced to confront their past decisions in order to understand their present delusions and insecurities. Questions arise throughout the story and family truths are unveiled. Central to the story is a dark and shocking secret that manifests itself and demands expiation from those entangled in it, having lurked in the past for twenty years. The narratives and memories of the four women enable the characters to grow over a period of twenty years, exploring the link between childhood and growing up and the theme of motherhood. Written with humour and compassion, Across The Mystic Shore is full of the sights, sounds and scents of India and delivers both an exploration of conflicts peculiar to Indian society and a universal underlying message about the strength of love and how it can be both selfish and selfless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it so rare? Because the perfect tuning of oneself with the universe is rare. It is not to be designed; it has to happen, as flowers come to the tree. Spring in real terms is when this happens. To get lost in one's surroundings is rather easy, most of us manage to at least occasionally when we are fortunate to be in a beautiful landscape of quiet ambience of the dissolving kind. We are elated, dreaming while being awake lost though firm on the ground, happy despite all our woes and pains. But even in this state, WE are very much there between the experience and the object providing it the bliss of being depends upon the state of being. However, real bliss is when even this intermediary existence dissolves out and only the experience of bliss remains. This is when the senses are not needed to gather the experience, the mind is not measuring it and the intellect is not qualifying and quantifying it. This is at the point where time and space not only coalesce but vanish!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I told this true crime story in Kanupriya's words, I would have spent my entire life writing it without being able to complete it. Some stories are never completed. Kanupriya has forgotten her hunger and dignity. How did house no. 627 turned her into Babu Ma’am? A lot has been left in this crime fiction book, but I have tried to cover a lot. In exactly the same way as Kanupriya still asks Ganga Maa at the Ganga ghat today, what was her fault? Along with her tears, the waves of the Ganges rise and fall and a musical voice is heard, "Kanupriya come in my water and drain everything." Kanupriya descends into the water and drains all those names with filling water in both hands; Both souls and bodies will dance in these waves of Ganga, Expansion as well as summary of life lies here, Karma and fate both are dancing together, Still the mind is in the bond of the ramparts. She bubbles these lines and then bends in water to say something to Ganga. Sitting in wet clothes on the ghat, she watches the waves of the Ganga fall and rise with wet eyes and this sequence of Kanupriya continues even today.

Download or read book The Digital Frontier written by Sangeet Kumar and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global web and its digital ecosystem can be seen as tools of emancipation, communication, and spreading knowledge or as means of control, fueled by capitalism, surveillance, and geopolitics. The Digital Frontier interrogates the world wide web and the digital ecosystem it has spawned to reveal how their conventions, protocols, standards, and algorithmic regulations represent a novel form of global power. Sangeet Kumar shows the operation of this power through the web's "infrastructures of control" visible at sites where the universalizing imperatives of the web run up against local values, norms, and cultures. These include how the idea of the "global common good" is used as a ruse by digital oligopolies to expand their private enclosures, how seemingly collaborative spaces can simultaneously be exclusionary as they regulate legitimate knowledge, how selfhood is being redefined online along Eurocentric ideals, and how the web's political challenge is felt differentially by sovereign nation states. In analyzing this new modality of cultural power in the global digital ecosystem, The Digital Frontier is an important read for scholars, activists, academics and students inspired by the utopian dream of a truly representative global digital network.
Download or read book The Intimate Other written by Anna S. King and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 2005 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intimate Other explores the theme of the devotional element in Indic Religions not only in Hinduism in which bhakti has become the dominant form, but also in Budhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Islam. The essays by scholars of international repute, show the strength of this devotion to the divine as a living and powerful source of value, aesthetic imagination, creativity and well-being . They also analyse the sometimes divergent interests of scholar and devotee, problematising devotion and exposing its historical development as complex, contested and 'political'. Of particular interest are the chapters on the Jain and Buddhist traditions where the existence of devotion has often been doubted or denied. Contributors investigate widely raging topics: these include an analysis of bhakti within the Sanskrit epics; a text-historical approach to Valmiki; Kabir's authorship of the poems attributed to him; contemporary attitudes to devotion to the Ganga: devotion within a syncretistic Jain movement, in Theravada Budhism, subcontinental Sufi Islam, young Sikhs in Britain and in the shared musical and poetic traditions of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. The volume ends with a sensitive exploration of the devotional love that overpowers death within the Hindus, sikhs and Muslims. The volume ends with a sensitive exploration of the devotional love that overpowers death within the Hindu bhakti context. Together they demonstrate vividly just how passionate love for the intimate other penetrates and inspires so many aspects of the religious culture of South Asia.
Download or read book MEGHDOOTAM written by Basanta Kumar Samanta and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, a scholar of Sanskrit, remarked that if the great poet Kalidas had not composed any other epic, he would still be considered the unparalleled poet of Sanskrit in India. Kalidas was born in the third or fourth century A.D. in Ujjaini, now in Madhya Pradesh, India. In his epic, Kalidas brings to life the natural world, including rivers, rivulets, hills, forests, villages, cities, trees and flowers to bring relief to Yaksha, who has been banished. He also depicts the lifeless cloud taking on the consciousness of Yaksha and running to deliver a message to Yaksha’s wife. When a cloud appears, the hills weep, the rivers respond, and Kalidas describes the cloud’s path in vivid detail. His epic is full of beautiful descriptions, such as the sweet smell of wet soil, the beauty of the Kadamba forest, and the buds of the land Champa, all of which transform the reader into a dream world. Kalidas did not set a specific precedent for future poets; instead, he was immersed in his own world of genuine creativity. His epic is described as “eyes becoming pleasant upon seeing, hearts becoming happy, the world becoming a happier abode, a stream of honey pouring into the ears, drawing out the heart like honey.” It is peerless work. In the Raghubangsha epic, Kalidas said, “At the end of yoga I shall leave my body. When my body becomes old, through yoga-like torn clothes, it can be thrown out and then achieve a new body.” So this yoga was in vogue at the time of Kalidas. It is presumed that the great poet Kalidas practised “yoga” which helped him know and analyse the mind of matter as well as humans and non-humans, thus success came to him.
