I wish your hearts, my friends, go erupting like a volcano this New Year, with magma of desire blasting out through the clogged vent of days gone by and with red-hot lumps of love, scorching fame, molten achievements and clouds of joy and mirth being spewed out. On the carousel of time the day of birth repeats, A Sunday jaunt takes me where we did once meet, A photograph in a pile holds my hand to halt, Over the wall of my memory a face oft does vault, An old song on the radio robs me so well of my soul That I feel nothing but a throb across the inner whole. I find a sweet smell around everywhere I thus go past. Pieces of love I still have, though my love I have lost. O god! Raise the same love for my country in me, So this New Year with each bit of it I could delighted be. Years divide the period of our life and thus give us fresh chance to start with a better plan, skill, experience, enthusiasm and mind-set. Let us determine to reform and be practical...

मैने ऐसे बहुत से लोगों के विचार सुने हैं जो धर्म के नाम से चिढ़ते हैं | किंतु यदि उनकी भावना को झाँकें तो लगेगा कि उनकी यह प्रतिक्रिया ग़लत नहीं है क्योंकि आज या कभी भी धर्म के नाम पर समाज का जितना भला हुआ है उससे कहीं अधिक नुकसान हुआ है | अब देखना यह है कि सांप्रदायिकता या सांप्रदायिक हिंसा का कारण धर्म है या उससे जुड़ी कोई दूसरी चीज़ जो निरन्तर घृणा का कारण बनती रही है | अब यहाँ पर ज़रूरत है यह जानने की कि धर्म है क्या | संस्कृति में धर्म की सबसे पूर्ण और सटीक परिभाषा है: ‘धारयेति इति धर्मः’ अर्थात जो धारण करने (अपनाने) योग्य है वही धर्म है | या यह कह लीजिए कि वह सब कुछ करना धर्म है जो अपने सहित सबके लिए कल्याणकारी हो: जैसे सहायता करना, सेवा करना, सत्य बोलना, दया करना, मिलजुल कर रहना आदि, आदि | यहाँ हम इस तथ्य पर पहुचते हैं कि धर्म मानवताबादी कार्यों की वकालत करता है जो किसी भी सूरत भेद-भाव उत्पन्न नहीं करता और न ही उसके पालन में किसी तरह की हिंसा की कोई गुंजाइश है | फिर क्यों धर्म के नाम पर सदभावना समाप्त होती है और हिंसा भड़क जाया करती है ? इस प्रश्न का उत्तर निकालने पर यदि विचा...

‘Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal’ published one of my essays ‘A No-Party Democracy’. Read it and get a new idea about democracy. Just click on the link below to open the journal: It is expected that no matter which of the parties wins, both sides must tolerate one another and acknowledge that each has a legitimate and important role to play and agree to cooperate in solving the common problems of the society. But the parties deliberately avoid serious discussions and choose to present a show of cussing and shouting at each other with a view to disrupting the working of the incumbent.  आज ही प्रकाशित मेरा एक निबंध ‘A No-Party Democracy’   पढ़िए | इस निबंध में प्रजातांत्रिक प्रणाली पर एक नया तर्क प्रस्तुत किया गया है | आज विभिन्न पार्टियाँ प्रजातंत्र में बहुत सी समस्याएँ पैदा कर रही हैं | जनता के हाथ अब कुछ नहीं रह गया है | ऐसे में पार्टी विहीन प्रजातंत्र में जनता का सरकार पर संपूर्ण नियंत्रण और उसका संपूर्ण प्रतिनिधित्व कैसे हो सकता है जानिए | नि...

(A beautiful view of the grounds of Kisan Post Graduate College, Bahraich, which was decorated by the young cricketers of Thakur Hukum Singh Cricket Association on the eve of Deepawali.)  Today is Deepawali, a festival of ecstasy, a celebration of Ram Raj. Happy Deepawali! Who will light lamps and candle, Who will play crackers Who has got to dance and sing In honour of the Creator? Come on, brothers – Be you all happy! Through the years ahead Dilwali bring you Peace and prosperity!  The universes are the different rooms of Ram’s palace. The day He built them with matter, enlightened them with the suns, gave music with different sounds, perfumed them and made them pleasant with various tastes was later on named as Deepawali. He celebrates the anniversary of His creation and wants us to be happy and to sing and dance on this day. Friends, brothers, sisters, everyone, come on – let us enjoy His bounties on the Earth, but nicely and gently beca...

As the ruby-red sun sets, The blonde-fair full faced moon Rises at the other end. He says, “O, the yellow-blue calm sea! Look, I’m the same as I was a month ago.” The sea soon turns scarlet-gold, With her waves leaping up In an effort to kiss the moon. The dawn ends everything the next day. The universe becomes white blue again As the sun shoots up in the deep sky. Poets read between each change. -                                                                                                                                                                 ...

All that exists in the world is useful and helps us survive. What is useful is valuable and everything that is valuable is wealth which is called Mahalaxami, the consort of Narain, who like a king rules the universes and enforces immutable laws favourable to the entities in terms of their survival and lust for life. The entities that make a universe take shape and grow and in doing so they need something to live on. This need is the mother of business which is symbolized as Bhagwan Ganesh. Maa Laxami and god Ganesh represent wealth so they are the life and the breath of every being. Since our business speeds up from the month of Kartik on, we worship Maa Laxami and Buppa Ganesh and observe Dhanteras, praying to them for prosperity. There is nothing in this world whose novelty does not wear off, but money is the exception that we never become bored with. It means the only beautiful thing that the world has ever had is money because it a joy forever. May Mata Mahalaxami and her l...

माँ के आँचल में पलते पर उसको अलग समझते हैं माँ के दर्शन उनको होते माँ भक्ति जो करते हैं सागर तेरे चरण धुलें माँ चँवर डुलावे पुरवाई दिशा दिशाएं कीरति गावें वन बागों की शहनाई धरती पर सब तेरे बच्चे उछल-कूद माँ करते हैं माँ के दर्शन उनको होते माँ भक्ति जो करते हैं सारा नभ दरबार सज़ा माँ सूर्य चंद्र से आलोकित निशा दिवस पहरे देते हैं तारों से मण्डप शोभित मेघों के संगीत सुहाने मन मोहित कर लेते हैं माँ के दर्शन उनको होते माँ भक्ति जो करते हैं माँ के आँचल में पलते पर उसको अलग समझते हैं माँ के दर्शन उनको होते माँ भक्ति जो करते हैं - रमेश चन्द्र तिवारी
