Mann Ka Ravan 2.0

 मन का रावण ! (Mann Ka Ravan) The Evil Inside. 

Dussehra is celebrated as the victory of Good over Evil. Each year people burn the effigies of Ravan, Kumbhakaran and Meghnath to mark the victory of Lord Ram. Dussehra spreads a powerful message of righteousness, hope, and moral truth. But every year while we celebrate this day we forget that the symbolic evils we are burning are all reside inside us and we must overcome those to really celebrate this day. Here I have written an English Couplet and a Hindi Poem with same message. Happy Dussehra
 
Violence,Hatred,Ego,Greed, Anger and Pride, 
All These Bads When In Us Freely Reside, 
How Burning An Effigy Give You Smile Wide,
First Introspect And Burn The Evil Inside.






बड़े-बड़े पुतले रावण के हर साल जलाते हैं, 
अच्छाई की जीत का हम ऐसे जश्न मनाता हैं,
बुराई हर साल मगर लौट कर फ़िर आ जाती है,
क्यूंकि मन के अंदर से कभी हम उसको नहीं मिटाते हैं। 
Bade-Bade Putle Ravan Ke Har Saal Jalate Hain,
Achchai Ki Jeet Ka Hum Aise Jashn Manate Hain,
Burai Har Saal Magar Laut Ke Phir Aa Jati Hai,
Kyunki Mann Ke Ander Se Kabhi Hum Usko Nahin Mitate Hain.

राम की मर्यादा की वैसे कसमे तो हम खाते हैं,
उन के आदर्शों पर चलना दुनिया को सिखाते हैं,
राम बनो,रावण नहीं ये बार-बार दोहराते हैं,
मन के अंदर के रावण को पर हम नहीं जलाते हैं। 
Ram Ki Maryada Ke Waise Kasme To Hum Khate Hain,
Un Ke Adarshon Par Chalna Duniya Ko Sikhate Hain,
Ram Bano,Ravan Nahin Ye Baar-Baar Dohrate Hain,
Mann Ke Ander Ke Ravan Ko Par Hum Nahin Jalate Hain.

हिंसा,लालच,लोभ,द्वेष सब हम सब में समा जाते हैं,
ग़ुस्से,नफ़रत,अहंकार को दूर कहाँ कर पाते हैं,
मांगे कोई मदद या दया तो हम अपना मुहं छुपाते हैं,
मन का रावण जिसमे जले वो दशहरा अब से बनाते हैं। 
Hinsa,Lalach,Lobh,Dwesh Sab Hum Mein Sama Jate Hain,
Gusse,Nafrat,Ahankar Ko Door Kahan Kar Pate Hain,
Mange Koi Madad Ya Daya To Hum Apna Muhn Chupate Hain,
Mann Ka Ravan Jismein Jale Woh Dussehra Ab Se Banate Hain.

जश्न (Jashn) - Celebration;  मर्यादा (Maryada) - Dignity;  द्वेष (Dwesh) - Malice/Hatred; अहंकार (Ahankar) - Ego.

Mann Ka Ravan

मन का रावण (Mann Ka Ravan)

A Hindi Kavita song with a message of Dussehra that we all must conquer our the evils residing in us to have a better self,society,nation and the world. Happy Dussehra to all.


मन का रावण बुरा करो तो धीरे-धीरे बढ़ता है,
राम मिटा दो जीवन से तो ये फिर सर चढ़ता है।  
Mann Ka Ravan Bura Karo To Dhire-Dhire Badta Hai,
Ram Mita Do Jivan Se To Ye Phir Sar Jadta Hai.

इसकी ताकत है बुराई, इसे न भाए सच्चाई,
लोभ-लालच खाता है ये और प्रेम ह्रदय सड़ता है। 
मन का रावण......................... 
Iski Taqat Hai Burai, Ise Na Bhae Sachchai,
Lobh-Lalach Khata Hai Ye Aur Prem Hriday Sadta Hai.

अधर्म-हिंसा हत्यार इसके, गुस्सा है परम सिपाही,
जो इनको स्वीकार करे वो हरदम भड़कता है। 
मन का रावण.......................... 
Adharm-Hinsa Hatyaar Iske, Gussa Hai Param Sipahi,
Jo Inko Swikaar Kare Wo Hardam Bhadakta Hai.

आज इसको आग लगा दो, मन के अंदर से मिटा दो,
पर्व दशहरे का आज यही तो हमसे कहता है। 
मन का रावण..........................
Aaj Isko Aag Laga Do, Mann Ke Andar Se Mita Do,
Parv Dussehre Ka Aaj Yahi To Humse Kehta Hai.

लोभ (Lobh) - Greed ;  ह्रदय (Hriday) - Heart ; अधर्म (Adharm) - Injustice ; परम (Param) - Main .

Evil Never Dies

Evil Never Dies.


Have you ever wondered why we burn effigies of Ravana every year on Dussehra day? This is because evil never dies and we must defeat it again and again to become victorious. Similarly we need to overcome evils like jealousy, animosity, greed, anger, proud, etc in us for spreading true message of Dussehra. Happy Dussehra, May Good always become victorious.





Everything is burning, everything is down,
evil has its head high if you see all around,
Ravana is strong, Rama please return, 
This year with Ravana his evils also burn.

'Rama and Ravana both resides in you,
that who throw Ravana outside becomes new,
Rama is with one who this can properly do,
What choice you make is entirely up to you.'

Magic

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 linked to Poetry Jam (magic).

Haiku - Evil and Good

Haiku - Evil and Good

Dussehra is celebrated to mark the victory of Lord Rama over evil king Ravana . On this day I am sharing a set of haiku depicting the war between evil and good. This is my first attempt in Haiku writing.



Evil spread again,
darkness filled the universe
Ravana rises in the Lanka.

Rama the savior came,
shone as star,demon in fear
truth always conquer.
