छोड़ जाऊँगा कुछ कविता, कुछ कहानियाँ, कुछ विचार जिनमें होंगे कुछ प्यार के फूल कुछ तुम्हारे उसके दर्द की कथाएँ कुछ समय – चिंताएँ
मेरे जाने के बाद ये मेरे नहीं होंगे मै कहाँ जाऊँगा, किधर जाऊँगा लौटकर आऊँगा कि नहीं कुछ पता नहीं लौटकर आया भी तो न मै इन्हे पहचानूँगा, न ये मुझे तुम नम्र होकर इनके पास जाओगे इनसे बोलोगे, बतियाओगे तो तुम्हे लगेगा, ये सब तुम्हारे ही हैं तुम्ही मे धीरे धीरे उतर रहे हैं और तुम्हारे अनजाने ही तुम्हे भीतर से भर रहे हैं।
मेरा क्या…. भर्त्सना हो या जय-जयकार कोई मुझ तक नहीं पहुँचेगी॥

The Poet
Ramdarash Mishra
1924 · 2021
Born in 1924 in the village of Dumari in Gorakhpur, Ramdarash Mishra represents a profound synthesis of rural consciousness and high academic rigor. He did not let his extensive education at Banaras Hindu University or his tenure as a professor at the University of Delhi detach him from the village roots that first shaped his worldview. Over a career spanning more than eighty books, Mishra wrote poetry, novels, memoirs, and critical essays that explored the shifting realities of Indian society. His poetry collections, such as Pak Gai Hai Dhoop, speak with the quiet authority of a man who has observed the changing seasons of human relationships. He was honored with the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2015 and the Saraswati Samman in 2021. Mishra possesses a rare literary longevity, consistently producing work that avoids artificial complexity in favor of unpretentious, deeply felt truth. He gave the Hindi literary world a voice that is both intellectually expansive and beautifully rooted in the earth.

Paired Painting
The Disappearance of Haridas Thakur
This poignant artwork depicts one of the most sublime and spiritually charged moments in Gaudiya Vaishnava history: the sacred transition of Srila Haridas Thakur. Revered as the Namacharya, or the teacher of the holy name, Haridas Thakur spent his final days in Puri chanting the divine names of Krishna with boundless ecstasy. Surrounded by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His devoted followers, who are swept up in an ocean of ecstatic kirtan, Haridas leaves his mortal frame while absorbed in remembrance of the Lord. The scene overflows with deep emotional resonance, capturing the bittersweet paradox of divine separation and spiritual triumph as banners flutter and devotees lift their arms in ecstatic surrender.
