ज्योति कलश छलके - ४ हुए गुलाबी, लाल सुनहरे रंग दल बादल के ज्योति कलश छलके
घर आंगन वन उपवन उपवन करती ज्योति अमृत के सींचन मंगल घट ढल के - २ ज्योति कलश छलके
पात पात बिरवा हरियाला धरती का मुख हुआ उजाला सच सपने कल के - २ ज्योति कलश छलके
ऊषा ने आँचल फैलाया फैली सुख की शीतल छाया नीचे आँचल के - २ ज्योति कलश छलके
ज्योति यशोदा धरती मैय्या नील गगन गोपाल कन्हैय्या श्यामल छवि झलके - २ ज्योति कलश छलके
अम्बर कुमकुम कण बरसाये फूल पँखुड़ियों पर मुस्काये बिन्दु तुहिन जल के - २ ज्योति कलश छलके

The Poet
नरेन्द्र शर्मा
Narendra Sharma
1913 · 1989
Pandit Narendra Sharma occupied a brilliant intersection between high classical literature and mass broadcast media. Born in 1913 in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, he evolved through the Chhayavaad romantic era to become a vital voice in the progressive poetry movement. He possessed a profound understanding of classical Sanskrit aesthetics, which he elegantly adapted for the modern Hindi audience. Beyond his distinguished poetry collections like Pravasi Ke Geet, he was a foundational architect of Vividh Bharati, shaping the auditory landscape of Indian radio for decades. Furthermore, he brought immense literary dignity to Indian cinema, penning immortal lyrics including the title track of Satyam Shivam Sundaram. He passed away in 1989, leaving behind a legacy defined by cultural stewardship. He was a poet who ensured that the classical soul of the Hindi language thrived seamlessly within the machinery of modern entertainment.
Paired Painting
Gopala Krishna
This profound devotional painting captures the eternal charm of Lord Krishna in his tender pastoral form as Gopala, the protector of cows. Seated serenely amidst a quiet twilight grove, his dark azure skin glows against a radiant golden halo, symbolizing the infinite divine light that permeates creation. His gentle gaze evokes a deep sense of peace, inviting the viewer into a timeless space of unconditional love and surrender. Cradled gently by a devoted calf and accompanied by a resting cow, the scene embodies the pure harmony between the divine and nature. As a treasured illustration from the historic 1972 edition of Bhagavad Gita As It Is, this artwork has guided countless spiritual seekers across the world, serving as a visual sanctuary for meditation and remembrance of the Supreme.
