पाँचो आंगुर काज करैए राज करैए छांगुर आर कते दिन चलत एना पूछैए पाँचो आंगुर ।

कर्मक फल कहि-कहि कऽ दुपहरिया मे डिबिया बारत आनक कैल-धैल पर कहिया धरि ई ओठगन पारत बैसल लोक घोरत कहिया धरि एना दूध मे माहुर!

देव-पितर द‍ऽ हमरा माथे ल गेल बखरी अपने लक्ष्मी औती कोन अपाटी हाथे माला जपने

बौआ केर पौरुख तिलके धरि भ जयता पुनि डांगर ।

कहिया धरि हमरे कनहा पर रहत पुरान क मोटा एक-एक क बिका रहल अछि घर सँ थारी-लोटा

भागवत क उपदेश बौक सभ बाँटय भरि-भरि आँजुर ।

The Poet

बुद्धिनाथ मिश्र

Buddhinath Mishra

1948 · 1980

Buddhinath Mishra represents the beating, romantic heart of the modern Navgeet movement, keeping the pure lyricism of Hindi poetry alive in an increasingly cynical world. Born in 1949 in the Samastipur district of Bihar, he emerged as a beloved lyricist whose words seamlessly blend the lush beauty of nature with the complex emotional landscape of contemporary life. He is a poet of the seasons, the village courtyard, and the quiet ache of nostalgia. Yet, his work is never disconnected from reality. His verses actively engage with the struggles of the marginalized, capturing the agrarian distress and the shifting cultural values of the Indian heartland. Unlike poets who publish endlessly, Mishra has cultivated a highly distilled body of work, prioritizing profound emotional resonance over sheer volume. His melodic recitations carry a hypnotic quality that captivates vast audiences. He remains a living legend of Hindi song, proving that true poetry does not need to abandon melody to speak the profound truths of the modern age.

Draupadi Vastraharan

Paired Painting

Draupadi Vastraharan

This profound masterpiece immortalizes one of the most agonizing and spiritually transcendent moments in the Mahabharata, where Queen Draupadi stands alone in the royal court, stripped of her dignity by the wicked Duhshasana. Mahadev Vishvanath Dhurandhar captures the sheer psychological intensity of the assembly, rendering the helplessness ofมาช the elders, the malicious triumph of the Kauravas, and most importantly, the divine intervention of Lord Krishna. As the sheer fabric endlessly multiplies in a miracle of cosmic grace, Draupadi raises her hands in absolute surrender and devotion, embodying the ultimate triumph of divine righteousness over human cruelty.
