Bless Us, a poem by Dils Debojyoti Sinha

Bless Us

By Dils Debojyoti Sinha

Bless us, my people, bless us

To upkeep the honour of our mother

Let us start right from now:

Bless us, my people, bless us.

If the own children shrink to honour

We can not expect from others the same.

How far can we move with baseless boastings?

We live with the euphoria of self-styled superiors

Only to be branded as buffoons by others.

Raged at the defaming terms about his mother

Hurled at him by Arjuna, his father,

Babru stood firm and killed him nearly.

Let us remember, we carry the spirit of that blood.

And, if we fail to uphold the dignity of our mother

Let all of us get drowned than be the eunuchs.

Let us not be fascinated by the alluring outer glow of others

As blind imitations will lead us to nowhere

But to a realm of utter dishonour.

Let us mind the four, the riches, the learning,

The unity and the sense of self-respect.

Which have together the power to proclaim

The end of all distress.

We are thoughtlessly busy with petty pleasures

And groping in the dark.

But, Gokul, the conscious crow, can not.

Can not but crying aloud from door to door

Singing the songs of awakening.

And, when a crow cries

The dawn can never remain far behind.

Bless us, my people, bless us.

Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Sadhu Thakur

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Thakur, the great saint of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Community was born on 26th October, 1871, in a remote village of Cachar district called Baropua in the state of Assam. He was born to a Xatriya Manipuri family. His father Sri Sanatan Pandit was a Sanskrit teacher and mother Srimati Malati Devi, a house wife. Sadhu Baba from his childhood was indifferent to all worldly happenings. He was engrossed in chanting the name of Lord Krishna. Along with other students of his age, Sadhu Baba started taking lessons of grammar and other spiritual literature from his father. At a very young age he lost his mother but he was brought up with utmost love and care by his step mother. At the age of eighteen, Sadhu baba lost his father, so, to continue his spiritual education under the guidance of Rajpandit Mineshwas Swarbabhwam Bhattacherjee, he went to Tripura.

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
