POEM THE SPIRIT OF INDIA: SONG OF A BILLION SOULS
HARSH GOENKA
SPEAKING TREE TOI 23/6/25

*
I am the rhythm of the dhol and whisper of the veena,
I am the smile in Holi’s colour,
And the silence in your Diwali prayer,
And bow with folded hands at Ajmer Sharif.
*
I beat the drums in a tribal dance in Bastar,
And recite verses from the Vedas under Banyan trees,
And fly kites across the sky on Makar Sankranti.
I serve langar in golden bowls at Amritsar,
And offer ‘roze ka iftar’ to my brother next door.
*
I am the cheer of children in Shillong’s monsoon,
I sow rice in the fields of Tamil Nadu,
I herd yaks in Arunachal…
And fish in the deltas of Bengal.
*
I dance Garba all night in Ahmedabad’s courtyards,
And whisper lullabies on a house boat in Dal Lake.
I chant on the ghats of Varanasi,
And meditate in the caves of Ellora.
*
I wear the lungi, the lehenga, the sherwani, the sari,
I am the tilak, the chandan, the rudraksha and the rosary.
I write in Marathi, think in Bengali, sing in Kannada,
And dream in all the tongues of my land.
*
I am the army fighter’s cry in the borders,
The farmer’s hope in Vidharbha.
I build software in Bengaluru,
And craft poetry in Kolkata cafes.
I race camels in Rajasthan’s sands.
*
I am not one.
I am many.
I am contradiction and harmony.
I am the one who prays, and the one who protests.
I am youth, I am age.
I am ancient, and I am tomorrow.
*
I walk through every temple gate and every church aisle,
Every dargah door and gurudwara corridor.
I am welcomed everywhere with ‘aadaab’, ‘pranam’, ‘vanakkam’ and ‘namaste’.
*
I am the spirit of India.

Poem: Arrogance

poem, POETRY, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Copyright@shravancharitymission

POEM: ARROGANCE

–There is no poison as pungent as arrogance. Shed arrogance and welcome the happy world around you—

*

There is some turbulence,
There is some disturbance,
Or is it my arrogance,
That disturbs my equilibrium?

*

It echoes through my hollow pride,
A voice I silenced, now amplified.
It mocks my mask, my constant cloak,
The louder I speak, the less I know.

*

There isn’t a song left in me,
For arrogance has consumed me completely.
Its embers once felt like a sacred flame,
But now it only burns in shame.

*

Still, a ray of sunlight dares to creep,
Into the room where I barely sleep,
Sneaking in through the silent skylight,
Scattering gold into my endless night.

*

It encourages me to open my mind,
To let the weight of falsehood unwind.
It whispers softly with no demand,
Let go arrogance and do not command.

*

It tells me to open my arms,
To embrace life without titles or charms,
To welcome the happy scenes around,
And leave the arrogance behind.

*

Nature says: I am on colourful display,
For eyes that wander, and hearts that stray,
I offer peace that cannot be owned,
But you must come to me unthroned.

*

But arrogance tries to forestall the interplay,
Building walls that keep joy at bay.
Like a vortex, it feeds on control,
Draining the light from my soul.

*

Yet the power of the skylight becomes immense,
When it allows the sunlight to shine,
Inside my once-armoured defence,
A quiet light, yet so divine.

*

The trees outside no longer condescend,
They sway like sages; they do not pretend.
Their wisdom lies in being still,
And bending gently to the will.

*

I see now: the path is not to reign,
But to walk through sun and storm and rain.
To learn, unlearn, and fall apart,
Until humility reclaims the heart.

*

So let the sunlight do its part,
Peeling arrogance from my heart,
In this open space, I start afresh,
Because I have miles to go,

Before I rest.

*

–Bury your arrogance and see the difference in your life—

POEM: MONSOON MELODIES

MONSOON MELODIES

*

“The vibrant monsoon is a bonanza that revives the flora and fauna. Each drip and drop of rain feels like manna, falling from heaven and breathing life into Planet Earth.”

**

When the clouds occupy the sky,

And the day becomes overcast,

When the raindrops begin to fall,

My mind slips into a flashback.

*

When the downpour turns generous,

The world begins to hum in mellifluous,

The gardens swell with spirited life,

And streets flush clear, washed of strife.

*

The trees stand rinsed and tall,

Leaves shimmer in the rainfall,

Flowers beam their brightest hue,

The air feels clean, the world feels new.

*

My flashback swells and opens wide,

Revealing the joy I once kept inside,

The cool breeze brushes against my skin,

With the gentle warmth of life within.

*

The rainy day,

Pulls me out of my hideout,

For once,

Outside appears to be better than the inside.

*

In the slush and storm, I start my stride,

No longer wishing to hide,

The atmosphere becomes soothing,

When each moment becomes moving.

*

While sitting on the park bench,

I notice the droplet that lands on the shining leaf,

It remains there for a brief,

And then starts rolling down the leaf,

Taking with it all the heat.

*

The scourge of global warming,

Momentarily cools under the heavy downpour,

But the Hydra-Headed Monster,

Will soon rise, fears Mother Earth.

*

Life transforms and becomes mellifluent,
Thoughts become benevolent,
The air, though soaked, feels light and delirious,
Each moment is sweetly reminiscent.

*

The beauty of life sleeps in off time,

It awakens when the monsoon arrives,

It dresses up when the showers go by,

So enjoy the rain, the biggest gift to mankind.

**

“Monsoons give renewed life to Planet Earth. Typically, we don’t attach much importance to them. But can you imagine life on Planet Earth without the drip and drop of Rain?”

**

POEM: THE PAHALGAM CARNAGE

poem, POETRY, Remembrance, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Copyright@shravancharitymission

–“If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here,” said Amir Khusrau, a renowned Indian Sufi poet, about Kashmir. But the Pahalgam perpetrators have made it bloody—

*

In the Baisaran valley in Pahalgam,

On the 22nd of April 2025,

While the tourists were freaking out in the meadows,

Helping themselves to a picnic lunch,

Under the bright sun.

*

The terrorist struck,

With all their brutality,

Killing 26 able-bodied Indians,

In the worst of atrocities.

*

It all happened in the beating heart of the Anantnag district,

Where the Lidder River whispers through the valley,

And the tall mountains stand in majestic grace,

In the Vale of Kashmir.

*

The gruesome carnage was committed,

By AK-47-toting terrorists,

On a day that was meant to be peaceful and joyful,

Which humanity will never forget.

*

They say,

Terrorism doesn’t have a religion,

But the terrorists proved it otherwise,

When unable to recite the Kalma,

They shot those hapless Indians,

In an inhuman style.

*

But the Indians,

Never thought like that,

For they were always united in great style,

1.4 billion to be precise.

*

The terrorists asked the victims to undress,

To prove their religion,

And that proved the point,

That terror has a religion.

*

The victims were mostly young,

They were all bright,

They all had ambitions,

To come up in life.

*

The worst came when they were shot dead,

In front of their wives,

Who wailed for their safety,

But the lethal Pakistani terrorists,

Failed to sigh.

*

Being born a Hindu is no crime,

Being born in any religion is divine,

But perpetrating terrorism,

Is a terrible crime.

*

It’s like Alexander Fleming versus Mikhail Kalashnikov,

One invented penicillin,

And the other AK-47,

One saved a life, the other killed the hapless,

Kalashnikov must be turning in his grave,

Seeing the legacy of his invention.

*

Five Lashkar terrorists,

Brought India to an emotional halt,

But let there be no doubt,

In the minds of the killers and their handlers,

The young India is 65% of 1.4 billion,

That will not forget its revenge.

*

–Terrorism is the worst crime against humanity. Life is only a sojourn on Planet Earth. Live with that in mind—

POEM: A BROKEN HAND

poem, POETRY, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Copyright@shravancharitymission

A BROKEN HAND

*

–My broken hand made me realise the importance of a hand. My life had come to a standstill without the grip of my pen–  

***

Last monsoon on this day I was in London,

And this monsoon on that same day,

 I was at home with a broken hand,

There is someone who watches you always,

With nefarious or grand designs,

Both India and London were experiences of a different kind.

*

Don’t animate or disappoint yourself with psychedelic thoughts,

Hold yourself to a healthy balance,

Life is predictably unpredictable,

Some call it kismet and some accident.

*

Life’s unfolding is an unplanned mixture of,

Tears and smiles,

Choices, rejoices and achievements,

 Tragedies, failures and accomplishments.

*

Whether victory or defeat,

Take everything in your stride,

Where a broken hand doesn’t bring,

Your life’s journey to a compromise.

*

But a broken hand makes you realise,

The value of your grip,

That holds the August pen,

And the pen in return holds your fate.

*

A broken hand makes you realise,

The value of your fingers,

That tap the keyboards,

To make you rise high.

*

Life seems like taken for granted,

Till you encounter a calamity,

Calamities teach you,

What certainties don’t?

*

In this seesaw journey of life,

Each organ of your physique,

Is vital for your fight,

This, I realised,

When my hand was inoperational for some time.

***

–Watch out!! You are only a total of all the organs in your body. This I realised only after breaking my arm—

POEM: THE THREE LIVES

poem, POETRY, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Copyright@shravancharitymission

THE THREE LIVES

“In our lifetime we are privy to three lives: the past, the Present and the future life. But what is at hand is the present life. If you want to live your life King-Size start appreciating and building on your Present-Life.

*

To know about your past life,

Look at the experiences of your present life,

To have a feel of your future life,

Feel the experiences of your present life.

*

Though past and future exist in separation,

They have an unbreakable relation,

Which the naked eye can’t see,

But the trail of karma can feel.

*

Your present is a reflection of your past,

Your present is a forerunner of your future,

Your present ensures your fortune,

And the noble deeds enacted in the present,

Helps you in building your impression.

*

It is believed,

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,

Your present is like the bird in your hand,

And your past and future are like the two in the bush.

*

Pamper the bird in hand,

That’ll take care of the birds in the bush,

By leading a clean life,

By leading a simple life,

By enjoying your present life.

*

By pondering over the past, the past won’t change,

By worrying about the future, the future won’t relent,

But by toiling in your present life things will progress.

*

The Past, Present and Future are like the three seasons,

But in real life, the Past and Future are like illusions,

Where the Past is discussed and the Future is dreamt,

And it is only the Present that gets immediate attention.

*

Your present life is your divine kingdom,

That carves your life’s mission,

Past and Future are only by-products of the Present life,

So focus well on your kingdom.

*

“Your Present Life is the lynchpin of your existence. So don’t wander in the dark caves of the past and the future and be with your present.”
