The Son of The Soil 2nd October is the birth anniversary of two great sons of the soil. Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shahtri. While I have written many times on Mahatma Gandhi and his ideals (which you can read here) I have never dedicated any poem to Lal Bahadur Shastri the most simple human being and the second Prime Minister of India. This poem is dedicated to him. His slogan of  'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan', even now inspires us and instill respect in us for two important pillars of our society. Also Happy Gandhi Jayanti. Both Gandhi Ji and Shastri Ji were believers of world peace. Lets pray for the same on their birthday.  Simple village man amassed love not money, second PM of India was as sweet as honey. But when the tough time of war came, he never let down nation in shame. Hail the soldier (Jai Jawan ) who guards our border, maintain law and order, Hail the farmer ( Jai Kisan) who feeds the nation, responsible for our ration.  T...

Magic Since Gandhi Jayanti , Dussehra and Eid -ul- Adha are here. I have shared the magic associated with them. Not a single bullet fired in retaliation, Enemy's blood not shed in revolution, Still rulers of world faced humiliation, This is the magic of truth & non-violence's agitation, This is the magic of Mahatma, father of the nation. Blessed with the power and immortality , Ravana, the ruler of city of gold, having knowledge of best quality, Unconquerable even by the force of god's equality, Defeated by a young prince living in forest's difficulty, This is the magic of Rama, the magic of righteousness and divinity. Son and father both unquestioning his command, Not even once succumbing to the Satan's demand, Prepared for the sacrifice so grand, Son exchanged with a lamb as Abraham extend his hand, This is the magic of belief & mercy, the magic of Allah's wand. This poem is link...

2nd October is birth anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or Mahatma Gandhi who was a leading figure of Indian Independence Movement and often regarded as father of the nation in India. He was a religious man and sang many bhajans in his ashram along with his followers. On the occassion of his birthday I am sharing one of his favorite bhajans " Vaishnav Jan To " written by Narsinh Mehta in Gujrati along with its translation. वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिये ( A God's Man Is One) - Narsinh Mehta वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिये जे पीड पराई जाणे रे, पर दुखे उपकार करे तोये मन अभिमान न आणे रे॥ A god's man is one who feels another's pain, works to benefit others and pride does disdain. सकल लोकमां सहुने वंदे निंदा न करे केनी रे, वाच काछ मन निश्चल राखे धन धन जननी तेनी रे॥ Tolerates and respects everybody never tries to belittle anyone, Keeps action,words & thoughts pure,blessed is the mother of such a son. समदृष्टि ने तृष्णा त्यागी, परस्त्री जेने मात रे, जिह्वा...
