मेरे गीत बड़े हरियाले, मैने अपने गीत, सघन वन अन्तराल से खोज निकाले
मैँने इन्हे जलधि मे खोजा, जहाँ द्रवित होता फिरोज़ा मन का मधु वितरित करने को, गीत बने मरकत के प्याले!
कनक-वेनु, नभ नील रागिनी, बनी रही वंशी सुहागिनी सात रंध्र की सीढ़ी पर चढ़, गीत बने हारिल मतवाले!
देवदारु की हरित-शिखर पर अन्तिम नीड़ बनायेँगे स्वर, शुभ्र हिमालय की छाया मेँ, लय हो जायेँगे, लय वाले!

Paired Painting
Spring in Kulu
Nicholas Roerich found his spiritual and creative home in the majestic expanse of the Himalayas, where the rugged grandeur of the mountains met the tender vulnerability of new life. In Spring in Kulu, the artist channels a profound reverence for the Indian landscape, portraying a lone figure immersed in divine meditation and music beneath a blossoming tree. The towering, snow-capped peaks stand as eternal guardians of the earth, offering a silent contrast to the soft, ethereal pinks of springtime blooms. Roerich imbues the scene with an otherworldly stillness, inviting the viewer to pause and listen to the quiet symphony of the mountains awakening.
