पुरखा पथ से पहिये रथ से मोड़ रहा है गाँव
पूरे घर में ईटें-पत्थर धीरे-धीरे छानी-छप्पर छोड़ रहा है गाँव
ढीले होते कसते-कसते पक्के घर में कच्चे रिश्ते जोड़ रहा है गाँव
इससे उसको उसको इससे और न जाने किसको किससे तोड़ रहा है गाँव
गरमी हो बरखा या जाड़ा सबके आँगन एक अखाड़ा गोड़ रहा है गाँव

The Poet
शिव बहादुर सिंह भदौरिया
Shiv Bahadur Singh Bhadauria
Dr. Shiv Bahadur Singh Bhadauria was a foundational pillar of the Navgeet movement, redefining the landscape of modern Hindi lyric poetry. Born in 1927 in the Raebareli district of Uttar Pradesh, he devoted his life to both academic scholarship and literary creation. Bhadauria rejected the rigid orthodoxies of earlier poetic forms, choosing instead to infuse the traditional lyric with contemporary themes, rural sensibilities, and deep social awareness. Through seminal collections like 'Purwaa Jo Dol Gayee' and 'Shinjanee', his verses captured the breathing reality of village life alongside the shifting emotions of a modernizing India. Serving for decades as an educator and college principal, his influence shaped generations of writers. He possessed a rare ability to craft language that was highly musical yet intellectually sharp, ensuring that the Navgeet genre retained both its melodic charm and its relevance to ordinary human struggles.
Paired Painting
The Pandavas arrive in Hastinapur
This profound composition captures the pivotal moment when the young Pandava brothers, accompanied by their mother Kunti and Draupadi, arrive at the majestic gates of Hastinapur. The atmosphere is heavy with destiny, as the royal family steps into a city that is simultaneously their birthright and the site of their future trials. The artist masterfully portrays the quiet dignity of the five brothers, standing in contrast to the opulent, yet foreboding, architecture of the Kuru capital. It is a moment of immense vulnerability and grace, marking the threshold where the fate of the Bharata lineage begins to unfold toward the inevitable events of the Mahabharata.
