A Compendium of 4 Winter Poems & all other supplementary poems., By Ashwini Kumar Goswami [reading like a writer .txt] 📗

in anger tensed His leg to kick His step-mother,
Who was named Swarna, substituted wife of Sun, the innocent father,
The real wife left the Solar abode being unable to bear His baking heat,
Asking Swarna to caress and nourish her children during her retreat !
Swarna paid greater attention to her own children than to Shani,
Shani then narrated the truth before His father about this agony !

Surya immediately grasped that something was so going amiss,
As no mother could ill-treat her son even over or against her wish !
Swarna could not be His wife and sure she should be someone else,
As she intentionally delayed food for Shani and not someone else !
So, when The Sun shrilled in anger inquiring as to who was She ?
Swarna fearfully confessed all odds, however, risky they may be !
She said she was not real, but rather, your wife in disguise,
Hence, as natural, she didn’t know anything done bad or nice !

Shanidev is thus a perturbed personality felt by us fallaciously,
More so after being defeated and punished by Hanuman seriously !
While in normality, Shanidev cherishes philanthropic virtue,
Knowledgeable people hence ubiquitously worship His statue !
Why people offer oil ever to appease renowned Shanidev,
In His overall stretched shrines and even in His apposite cave ?
This need of oil is attributable to a talked about tell-tale,
That when defeated Shanidev asked Hanuman for oily hail !

To alleviate his pains inflicted upon Him in the dual fight
With Hanuman once for all foolishly to prove His might !
The oil presented by Hanuman relieved Shani from the Pain,
So offering oil to Shanidev appeases Him, going not in vain !
To suppress our ill-feelings of penicious Shanidev’s image,
We should rather worship Him with hails of oil always !

“The Son Of The Wind”


(1) “PAVANSUT”, identifies literally, The Son Of The Wind;
(2) “SHIVAANSHU”, means The Constituent Of “SHIVLING”;
(3) “SANKATMOCHAN” REPRESENTS “THE CRISIS-CRUSHER”;
(4) “BAJRANGBALI” refers to “A STRONG ENEMY-PUSHER;
(5) “RAMDAS” is he who is ever subservient to “SHREE RAM”;
(6) “RAMSHARAN” is he who is ever in the shelter of “SHREE RAM”;
(7) “ANJANIPUTRA” is indicative of his mother being “ANJANI”
Temples to worship Him stretched all over India are so many !
There is an anecdote regarding His vigorous virtue of gallantry,
All through His childhood to grown-up stage of salient symmetry !
During childhood when he felt a bit hungry with little plight,
Seeing The Sun as a fruit, He rushed high and plucked Him tight !
And gulped The Sun through His mouth agape to fulfill appetite,
So Lord Indra angrily hurled His Vajra at Hanuman as if in a fight !
Enraged Pavan (The Wind) then dipped into the sea with Hanuman,
Rendering the world thus breathless and suffocated in their span !
Repentant Indra then went to Pavan along with all his deities,
To persuade Him for forgiving them their odds of activities !
Brahma and Indra then granted some boons in favour of Hanuman,
That no weapon could ever kill Hanuman, keep this in record,
He could be liable to death never, except of His own accord !
So whenever we be in grief or under any quandary and distress,
We should remember Lord Hanuman for instantaneous redress !
Sustained, as I am, to have been helped out so many times,
In so many events witnessed about any misdeeds or crimes !

“SHREE GANESHAAYA NAM:”


“The Foremost Adored Deity”
*************************
The Hindus world over cherish intents of devotion and worship,
As a matter of convention ordained under their Vedic Whip !
Innumerable are their deities adorable as per choice,
Different are hymns and prayers recited in classic voice !
One thing common among all these different devotional ways,
That the foremost prayer is offered invariably to Lord Ganesh !
Shree Ganesh is known faithfully as an Overall-Obstacle-Killer,
Shree Ganeshaay Namah is hence prefixed to prayers as a filler !
This respect was granted to Him by His Father Lord Mahesh,
When He was declared first after completing his round of race
By going around His Parents instead of Around-The-World race !
Chanting Shree Ganeshaay Namah, so I urge upon all people,
To upkeep sense of reverence to Him for happier life to pull !
To devote regularly to the Crisis-Crusher Holy Lord Ganesh,
Sure, that will yield glory and prosperity in each & every case !

“Threnody Of Thirteen”
**********************************
Since childhood, I have been ever so hearing,
“The number 13 often bears inauspicious bearing” !
Sustained, I am, to have seen so at so many occasions,
So when I come across 13, I adopt prior precautions !

Maybe, it’s a blind-belief as many people also presume,
Save Scientists, all other ones happen to so assume !
With the rise of the Sun today, I rushed for news-paper,
Placed at our door as usual by our regular hawker !

I glanced at its front page as I do ever so always,
The similar was the status quo on every subsequent page !
The page was occupied solely by an agony of the past,
When two years back, this Pink City faced multiple blast !

The role of media thus seems like digging out the dead bodies,
Which is tantamount to instigate terrorists to repeat threnodies !

“Philosophy V/s Science”

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


Philosophy is what we view to know any unknown clue,
It remains interrogative all through for false or true ?
When the answer is affirmative, it becomes the Science,
Science is a proven-truth, which nobody declines !

Existence of God or Goddess is yet a matter of Philosophy,
Just as is “Origin Of Horizon” is a self-drawn Photography !
The Big Bang is a Phenomenology of Creation of the Universe,
Which made Galaxies of Stars and Planets all around to disperse !

Thenceforth began the Biology of Creation and Destruction,
Of all living-beings as Males-Females by carnal insertion !
Then comes enigmatic Philosophy of “Priority between Male-Female”,
Which, too, is unsolved and needs a toss as for head or tale ?

Or else, the answer may always from man-to-man differ,
Willy-nilly, we have to prefer the “Origin” to be a “Cipher” !
Practically, a human born comes of his or her “Ma”,
Irrespective of knowing as to whosoever be the “Pa” ?

It is hence taken for granted that the “Origin” is Mother,
Father is a secondary relation, undeniably rather !
The born child’s first voice starts with the word “Ma”,
Whether may be alive or dead his/her so-called “Pa” !

The role of would-be-mother or the expectant is all along troublesome,
Right from the prenatal to maturity of would-be-born daughter or son !
Mother, ergo, is the only dearest and nearest entity,
All must be duty-bound to ever uphold her sanctity !

“Beams Of Dreams”
****************
Very often, I cudgel my brains about my dreams,
To find out how and why they appear like any themes !
As I assess, dreams represent preternatural scene,
Of what we have ever heard, read, said or seen !
Astrologists, Psychologists, Scientists and Prophets,
Analyze differently mysterious dreaming effects !
Sustained, I am, by my invariable affirmation,
Many of my dreams yield its due confirmation !
Grievous or blissful dreams having come quite true,
Exactly in consonance with earlier dreamt clue !
Casualties or any aspired delightful realms,
Had occurred as was signified in the dreams !
Learnt that whether we may be asleep or awake,
Our mind runs round-the-clock without any brake !
It is a Treasure to store all happenings around it,
Of the past, the present or even the future gambit !
That is what what we call insight or intuition,
Though it may aptly be a lingering illusion !
So many ups and downs, I came across in my life,
A number of them, I had prophesied likewise !
Source thereof were many of my dreams,
Natural phenomena are their rays or beams !
I beseech enlightenment on this very aspect,
From our wise poets of the forum, as I expect ?

“Dutifulness”
The Sun eternally shines so bright
To give our world enough light !
He doesn’t tell He does all that
When happens to rise or to set !
# The clouds supply us water by rains,
Which yield good crops and many more gains !
They, too, don’t brag to do quite so,
Raining widely, they come and go !
# The nightingale sings with sweet cooing,
Sound of which is charming and wooing !
She doesn’t ever boast of so doing,
While hither and thither moving !
# Bragging and talkativeness are waste of time,
Activeness and dutifulness prove ever-prime !
So let us always be devotional to our work,
So as to be a boss from the rank of a clerk !

“Y R V Humans ?”
**************
Because God made us humans ?
Because our parents were humans ?
Because we passed all other lives heretofore ?
Because it’s now a chance to test us more ?
Because it’s an outcome of all our good deeds ?
Or because we be the plants grown of good seeds ?
Oh ! Yea !
We are humans because of all the above dogmas,
Which are, of course, never fallible Divine Laws !
Humanity is the cream of all living creation
And ultimately the best chance to gain salvation !
So, always live human life plainly piously
To juxtapose us into paradise joyously !
Henceforth, let us give up all our misdeeds
And also forgo greed beyond our needs !
Religious lessons, we need always read,
As these are good enough everywhere to lead !
Scornfully, though human is a civilized beast,
Even yet he apprehends right or wrong at least !
