शिवाय

 आदि और अंत के काल से परे शिवाय।

सब से घिरे हुए, पर सबसे परे शिवाय।।


तीनों लोकों में बसा हुआ 'सत्य' शिवाय।

विफल हो सारे तर्क - वितर्क, एक अद्भुत 'तथ्य ' शिवाय।।


समाधि में लीन, शांत और 'सरल' शिवाय।

जटिल दुविधा हो खड़ी तो, पी लें 'गरल' शिवाय।।


मस्त भोले भाले से, करुणा से ओतप्रोत शिवाय।

अज्ञान ' तम ' को चीर दे जो, वो ' ज्ञान - ज्योत् ' शिवाय।।


उमा के संग नृत्य रास रचाते, प्रेम में ' अबोध ' शिवाय।

विनाशकारी तांडव का वो भयावह ' क्रोध ' शिवाय।।।


शक्ति - उर्जा के संचार के लिए बना हुआ 'आकार ' शिवाय।

जितने भी आकार में ढाला, रहे ' निराकार ' शिवाय।।


एक पंचाक्षर मंत्र में समस्त सृष्टि समाये।

ऊं नमः शिवाय।

ऊं नमः शिवाय।।।

A Wonderful Mother-In-Law

This piece was published some seven years ago in an online magazine. Still plastered in the spirit of "Women's Day", this story needs to reach every women in this country.  A Wonderful Mother-in-law. A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relation has been the most talked about relations in our society since ages. It has got too much of hype and our Bollywood and media has cashed it to the fullest. It is a sweet and sour relation and it depends on one’s luck whether they get more of sweetness or more of bitterness. But without any doubt, this relation makes an important part of a female’s life and effects it profoundly whether she is a mother-in-law or a daughter-in-law. We have heard a lot of stories about this relation from media and from other sources. We have stories of torturing mother-in-laws and mother-in-laws setting their daughter-in-laws on fire because of dowry. We do have stories where daughter-in-laws exploit their old in-laws. But here I am going t...

मां

 रक्त में शक्ति बन बहता 'लोहा' मां, चंद शब्दो मे अथाह गहराई वाली 'दोहा' मां।। कोख की मिट्टी, दूध की शक्ति - जीवन का 'आधार' मां, वाणी में, सोच में - जीवन-शैली में बसा 'संस्कार' मां।। जीवन दाव पे लगा के देती जीवन दान मां, बलिदान भी नतमस्तक हो, ऐसा वो 'बलिदान' मां।। जीवन में नमक का 'स्वाद' मां, भाग्य से मिलता दैविक ' प्रसाद ' मां।। ममता, साहस, बलिदान, त्याग, उर्जा -- सबके लिए 'मिसाल' मां, सब मिसाल हो जाते फीके , ऐसी होती है  'बेमिसाल ' मां।।।

The Most Special Mother's Day.

With Mother's Day around the corner, this one is from my treasured memory bag, written some seven  years ago. The first Mother’s day that was special to me was May 9, 2004. That was special because for the first time, I was experiencing this day as a mother. I was new to the mother’s world as I my first bundle of joy was born a week before . But what made the day even more special was that the first person to wish me on this day was my own mom. Since then for the last four years, I get calls and wishes every year on this day from my spouse, mom, friends and relatives. But this year was special and would be registered in my memory as the most special Mother’s Day of my life. It was special because for the first time my own daughter wished me. Yes! My four year old has grown up smart enough to fill my life with surprises on special occasions like this. Well, she surprised me with a special card that she made at her school and for her age she did a pretty good job to keep t...
