जानता हूँ मैं आप वहाँ हैं यद्यपि मैं व्यक्त नहीं कर सकता किन्तु देख रहा हूँ अब मैं आपको अधिक स्पष्ट आप ही हैं प्रथम दृष्टा
आप ही हैं जिनके हृदय ने महसूस किया हमारी प्रारम्भिकी का स्पंदन आप ही हैं जिन्होंने गाया अभी तक गाये गये गीतों में प्रथम गीत
आपका गीत गूँज रहा है अब भी आपके मधुर शब्द कर रहे हैं नृत्य हमारी आत्माओं के होठों पर
कोई भी शब्द नहीं दे सकता मैं अपने हृदय को क्या समझ सकेगा नश्वर शरीर! क्योंकि वे जुड़े हैं हमारी आत्मा से दोनों निमित्त हैं परम शक्ति के
वर्षों तक बैठा हूँ मैं अपने उपवन में जीवन का संगीत सुनने के लिए आपकी आत्मा को गाते हुए (ब्रह्मांड कवि के गीत) सुनने से पहले

The Poet
पैडी मार्टिन
Paddy Martin
Paddy Martin represented a profound convergence of global perspectives and deeply rooted Indian spirituality. Born in Australia in 1947, he experienced significant early hardship before undertaking a transformative journey to Delhi, where he lived for six years. This period in India fundamentally altered his spiritual and artistic trajectory. He immersed himself in Indian philosophy and the teachings of Buddhism, finding a sense of cosmic peace that deeply permeated his subsequent writing. Martin wrote with the quiet wisdom of a seeker who understood that human suffering knows no geographical boundaries. His verses, often exploring themes of mortality, interconnectedness, and the eternal journey of the soul, were heavily championed by Indian literary circles, making him a unique diasporic voice within the broader South Asian literary landscape. He passed away in 2011, leaving behind a poetic legacy that proves authentic devotion and the pursuit of inner truth require no specific passport or cultural pedigree.
Paired Painting
Saraswati
In this transcendent masterpiece, Raja Ravi Varma captures the divine embodiment of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and learning. Seated gracefully upon a serene riverbank, the Goddess holds her traditional Veena, ready to awaken the universe with harmonious chords of creation. A magnificent peacock, symbolizing patience and divine grace, rests near her feet, while blooming lotuses float gently in the sacred waters behind her. Through exquisite control of light and shadow, the artist bridges the divine and the earthly, inviting the viewer into a profound meditative space of spiritual awakening.
