पाना मुझको जितना, जो भी तुमको पाना
सखा सहज तुम केशव मेरे हर पल यह मन तुमको टेरे
लगे अधूरा, जीवन का तुम बिन हर गाना
मन की सच्ची अभिलाषा को दया-क्षमा की परिभाषा को
जितना, जो कुछ जाना-माना तुमको माना
तुमसे जानी जगत-कहानी ज्ञान-ध्यान की महिमा-वाणी
बना मुझे जिज्ञासु डगर में छोड़ न जाना

The Poet
अवनीश सिंह चौहान
Avaneesh Singh Chauhan
1972 · 2010
Avaneesh Singh Chauhan represents a fresh and necessary voice in contemporary Hindi literature, particularly in his efforts to revitalize traditional lyrical forms for a modern audience. Born in 1979 in the Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh, he has dedicated his literary career to the Navgeet movement and the adaptation of Haiku into the Hindi language. He does not write from the isolation of an ivory tower. Instead, his poetry addresses the environmental decay, social fragmentation, and rural displacement that define twenty-first-century India. Chauhan serves as the executive editor of the literary journal Naye Purane, where he actively fosters dialogue between established literary figures and emerging writers. Through his poetry and critical essays, he proves that ancient poetic rhythms can perfectly articulate the anxieties of the modern world. He is a careful observer of everyday life, using short verse and melodic compositions to document the quiet realities that often escape mainstream attention.

Lord Krishna and Arjuna in Divine Exchange
This deeply moving portrait captures the eternal intimacy of the guru and disciple, with the divine Lord Krishna gazing with infinite compassion upon the earnest face of Arjuna. Set against a soft luminous background, the artwork evokes the profound philosophical moments of the Mahabharata, where the cosmic secrets of existence and duty are whispered in love and reverence. Krishna, adorned in a majestic crown and radiant jewels, holds a delicate flower, symbolizing the gentle yet formidable beauty of divine grace. Arjuna listens with rapt attention, his open expression mirroring the humility and seeking spirit of every sincere devotee.
