टुकड़े टुकड़े टूट जाएँगे मन के मनके दर्द हरा है ताड़ों पर सीटी देती हैं गर्म हवाएँ जली दूब-सी तलवों में चुभती यात्राएँ पुनर्जन्म ले कर आती हैं दुर्घटनाएँ धीरे-धीरे ढल जाएगा वक्त आज तक कब ठहरा है? गुलमोहर-सी जलती है बागी़ ज्वालाएँ देख-देख कर हँसती हैं ऊँची आशाएँ विरह-विरह-सी भटक रहीं सब प्रेम कथाएँ आज सँभाले नहीं सँभलता जख़्म हृदय का कुछ गहरा है

Shri Chaitanya Meets His Mother After Sanyas
This profound work captures one of the most heart wrenching moments in the life of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. After embracing the path of Sanyas, or renunciation, the saint returned to see his grieving mother, Sachi Devi. Majumdar paints the delicate intersection of divine calling and human sorrow. The figures are rendered with the signature lyrical elegance of the Bengal School, where thin, flowing lines and soft, ethereal washes of color convey a spiritual depth that transcends mere form. The mother's posture reflects the overwhelming weight of maternal longing, while Chaitanya, though shaven and draped in the saffron robes of a renunciant, remains the gentle soul whose spiritual transformation has altered the course of their lives forever.
