जागी श्याम-विभावरी शुभकरी, दीपांकिता वस्त्रिता कल्माशांतक ज्योति शुभ्र बिखरी, आलोकिता है निशा ज्योतिष्मान स्वयं प्रतीचिपट से, सन्देश देता गया दीपों की अवली प्रदीप्त कर दे, संपूर्ण पुण्या धरा
राकानाथ निमग्न हैं शयन में, तारावली दीपिता तारों का प्रतिबिम्ब ही अवनि में, दीपावली सा बना लक्ष्मी भी तज क्षीर-धाम उतरीं, देखी जु शोभा घनी देतीं सी सबको प्रबोध मन में, जैसे सुसंजीवनी

The Poet
अमिताभ त्रिपाठी 'अमित'
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’
Amitabh Tripathi 'Amit' belongs to a rare class of contemporary Hindi poets who write to hold up an unflinching mirror to society. His verse is stripped of complex academic jargon and strikes directly at the center of modern Indian realities. In works like his celebrated poem "Bas Itna Sa Samachar Hai" (This is All the News There Is), Tripathi captures the everyday ironies, widespread corruption, and moral compromises of the present age with devastating precision. He dismantles hollow idealism and gives a powerful voice to the common man navigating a broken system. To read Amitabh Tripathi is to be awakened from civic slumber. His poems are not merely complaints; they are urgent pleas for a return to collective conscience and integrity.
Paired Painting
Gajalakshmi
In this transcendent vision painted by the legendary Raja Ravi Varma, the goddess Lakshmi emerges in her divine aspect as Gajalakshmi, the bringer of supreme wealth, royal grace, and boundless fertility. Standing poised upon a luminous pink lotus that floats serenely on the sacred waters, the four-armed deity holds celestial lotuses in her upper hands while granting blessings and showering abundance with her lower hands. Beside her, a majestic white elephant emerges from the tranquil river, joyfully offering a garland of fragrant flowers to honour the mother of the universe. White swans glide peacefully in the gentle current, and distant mountains rise beneath a soft, glowing sky, creating an atmosphere of profound harmony and spiritual awakening. Raja Ravi Varma has masterfully bridged the gap between divine mythology and tangible reality, inviting the viewer into a deeply moving encounter with the eternal grace of the divine feminine.
