चालक- पथ की जीवन रथ की लेकर नव भाषाएं आया है नव वर्ष हमारा जागीं सब आशाएं
नये रंगों से रंगी ज़िन्दगी रंगोली-सी सोहे सात सुरों से सजी बांसुरी जैसे तन-मन मोहे
चलो समय का पहिया घूमा बदलीं परिभाषाएं!
फूल-फूल में प्रेम बढ़ेगा महकेगी फुलवारी धूप-चांदनी, बरखे बरखा लहकेगी हर क्यारी
झोली में सबके फल होंगे- पूरी अभिलाषाएं!

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.
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.
