“Hades, Hells & Heavens”
Life is being lived in all the above three spheres,
Resultant to the past deeds put in without fears !
Creatures surviving there are of many a kind,
Carnivores, insectivores, omnivores we find !
Herbivores and vegetarians stand off such line,
Who can only anticipate the rebirths to be fine !
These two kinds distinctly include humankind,
Between them humans only cherish fertile mind !
Human life is blessed with the sense of bad or good,
So as to choose good deeds to re-gain the manhood !
Herbivorous and vegetarian also they should be,
To insure and secure re-birth as good as would be !
Would that all humans were candidly wise enough,
To give up all euphoric craze to be carnivorous buff !
Because carnivores are more prone to face hazards,
Such as ailments like heart attacks etc., afterwards !
This is an earnest advice for human, each and everyone,
So as to leave aside Hades and Hells to dwell in heaven !

“Animus Among Animals”
===================================

Dog and cat, both are pet,
Bearing animus against each other,
Dog hunts cat with enmity set !
Cats and mice, bear sense of vice,
Betwixt each other, with murderous choice !
Lion and cattle, face fateful battle,
With cruel and hungry intent,
Lion ever wins his meal, being potent,
So he quite dominantly rattle !
Lizard and insect whenever intersect,
The latter is gulped pronto
By the former with infallible tact !
Snake and mouse in a hole or house,
The former kills the latter to gulp via mouth !
Each hunt or prey involves a sway,
With arduous attempted fights
To bite and eat in a satiating way !
These are the phenomena of animal life,
In which each male is husband,
And every female is a forced wife !
Humans, too, are though so-called social animals,
Yet, unlike other animals, they are wise radicals !

“Sovereignty Of Sacred Celebrities”
*******************************

Anchorites, anchoresses, ascetics, sages and saints,
Attract people to gather credulously in their tents !
People listen to their oratory to widen knowledge,
As do the students usually in their school or college !

Innocently superstitious are most Indian people,
Hence, they revere them with offers much bountiful !
Though I refrain ever from any such flimsy boo-boo,
My better-half stands man-a-man to create undue ado !

When I learn about this through multi-channel media,
Which are today working like crazeful encyclopaedia !
I find no any new ideas and any palatable proprieties,
In the oratory of such so-called sacred celebrities !

Now let us glance at their fast-growing vast Estate,
In our country and abroad on our donated mandate !
We may so assert that sainthood is the best primrose path,
In which one can cloud his all ill-deed, present or past !

It involves no expenditure but only some penance ab initio,
Clever being ever to charm women in a higher ratio !
In the way, there occur odious scandals and scams,
Via their faithful flatterers and fair-weather fans !

On the face of such scenario, all other endeavours seem fateful,
Sometime, I sink to think as to why we people are so graceful ?
Even when their scandals are brought to light hic et ubique,
It’s high time now to create renaissance in the general public !

Do such celebrities deserve to be categorized as sages & saints,
Even when enjoying Kingly lives with stigmatic antecedents ?

“Ghost ! Ghost ! Ghost !”
*******************
Most of us might have heard and read Ghost story,
Old fuddy-duddies often tell such tales of their memory !
Fabled is, though, ghostly existent, rather unconfirmed,
Yet we willy-nilly fear ghosts whenever questioned !

I recall anecdotal fables, as I heard the elderly say,
About a fearless atheist who didn’t believe ghostly sway !
He was once at night ousting himself from the loo,
His shirt got entangled from behind in a latch not in view !

He lost all his patience and invincible sense of boast,
And hurtfully stumbled and fumbled crying Ghost, Ghost !
Another incidence was of a teacher dwelling in rented house,
All alone care-freely without his children and spouse !

Ever since long with all convenience and confidence,
He was an atheist with his unforgiveable such sense !
Introvert was he by nature, hence was looked down upon
By the neighbours who happened to see him off and on !

An envious local leader, hence, hit upon a silly plot,
So as to to scare him away from this rented spot !
He confronted the teacher once fraternally en route,
And expressed a sense of terror to fulfill his pursuit !

He humbly questioned as to how was he living here,
In that house, which was abandoned for ghostly fear !
The teacher, however, paid his question little heed,
But from that night onward he couldn’t ever got asleep !

In drowsy state, felt totally losing his fearless boast,
Bewildered having been, he uttered Ghost ! Ghost ! Ghost !

“Dread The God Of Death ?”
***********************
Those who are born must die without any how, when and why,
Whether they creep on ground, live in water or are able to fly !
This is a Divine Law that has to be sustained by every creature,
The end of life is pre-decided errand under Yamraj’s signature !
Hence it’s no use fearing death and jeering at the God Of Death !
When all we well understand that death is every life’s aftermath !
The God Of Death abides by His duty to cadge any soul off anybody,
When any such soul has ended its tenure, unmindful of any threnody !
Yamraj, The God Of Death, is the son of The Sun & His wife Sanghya,
He rides a black male buffalo, flimsily fearful like any xenophobia !
In one hand, He has a mace and on the other an invincible kaalpaash,
Which he uses to extract any soul from anybody to elsewhere pass !
Sitting on His Judgment seat, he summons everybody turn by turn,
This is called the death of that body, which we have to bury or burn !
Among His wives, Sushila, Vijaya and Hemnaal stand dominant,
Among His many sons, Dharmraj Yudhishtir is most prominent !
Both Yamraj and Udhishtir are known for their fair judgment,
Hence their name became popular as Dharmraj in their regiment !
Besideds, personified river Jamuna is Yamaraj’s real sister,
Chitragupt maintains individual record on his own register !
He also sits beside Yamraj to decide individual bad or good,
On the basis of that individual account of every life or personhood !
Prayers are offered to all of them on the festival of Rakshaa Bandhan,
Ignited light is also offered to Yamraj a day before Deewali poojan !
Yamraj also founded pilgrimages through Yameshwar, Yamaditya temples,
Where people can fufil their wishes by hard penance as per old examples !
The 14th day of lunar month falling on a Tuesday is most auspicious
To embark on these pilgrimages provided your prayers are curious !
Bathing and praying in these temples spares us from punishment in hell,
This is the modus operandi laid down in sacred texts, which I tell !
Also we can then spare us from going to Yamlok on our turn fatefully,
This is an opportunity over all laid down by religion gracefully !
It is also provided that offering shraddh to forefathers in these shrines,
Acquits us from bond of debt to forefathers without levy of any fines !
The Death Of God, Yamraj, is known for His righteousness & justice,
Death and re-birth have become His unforgivable dutiful practice !
Once under a curse of enraged Mandav Rishi, He had to be born as human,
Yamraj was born through a maid and was called Dhritrashtra hence then !
Yamraj is thus not precipitous by His own nature, but rather doing his duty,
He is therefore a solicitous Governor of life and death and their eternity !
He is, as I believe, is also adorable as are so others many a demi-god,
However rigid may He be, complaisant to Divine Law, He uses His rod !

“How Are We Living ?”
*******************
We belong to living beings,
Are we only therefore living ?
So are doing all living beings,
But not like us human beings !
Humans are blessed with special abilities
Of thinking, reasoning and choosing amenities !
They know whether they are gaining or losing ,
They can distinguish agreeing or refusing !
God gifts human life as a chance to sanctify any soul,
To prefer good deeds ever to help achieve aimed goal !
Failure in the chance pushes the soul again into cyclic order
Of 84 lacs different lives outside this creamy life border !
Hence we humans must live our lives good enough to revive,
By avoiding all mis-deeds that render this life no longer to survive !
Human life is to be taken for an opportune Grace of God,
To achieve salvation to deserve and reserve heavenly abode !

“The Swarthy Son Of The Sun”


“SHANIDEV”, the seventh of the Navgrah in the Solar System,
He be the son of “SURYA & SANGHYA DEVI” as in our custom !
He is symbolized as Saturn among all the nine Solar Planets,
He is feared most by people as with other planets He interacts !
In two spells of two-and-a-half & seven-and-a-half years span,
Then we remain consulting astrologists to do all what we can !
His influence works slowly extending over so long tenures,
People are then inclined to consult priests on all ventures !

His slow paces are attributed to His being lame under a curse,
Because of this he stays for long until mandatory to disperse !
Once when Shanidev
