नव जीवन को इंद्रिय दो हे, मानव को, नव जीवन की नव इंद्रिय, नव मानवता का अनुभव कर सके मनुज नव चेतनता से सक्रिय!
स्वर्ग खंड इस पुण्य भूमि पर प्रेत युगों से करते तांडव, भव मानव का मिलन तीर्थ बन रहा रक्त चंडी का रौरव! अनिर्वाप्य साम्राज्य लालसा अगणित नर आहुति देती नव, जाति वर्ग औ’ देश राष्ट्र में आज छिड़ा प्रलयंकर विप्लव!
नव युग की नव आत्मा दो पशु मानव को, नव जीवन की नव इंद्रिय, भव मानवता का साम्राज्य बने भू पर दश दिशि के जनगण को प्रिय।

The Poet
सुमित्रानंदन पंत
Sumitranandan Pant
1900 · 1977
Sumitranandan Pant was the absolute master of lyrical aestheticism in modern Hindi literature. Born in 1900 in the lush Kumaon hills of Uttarakhand, he drew his earliest and most profound inspiration from the pristine beauty of the Himalayas. He became one of the four foundational pillars of Chhayavaad, the Hindi neo romantic movement. However, his literary journey did not stagnate in romantic nature worship. Over a career spanning more than five decades, his poetry evolved through distinct phases, absorbing progressive ideologies and eventually culminating in the deep philosophical spiritualism of Sri Aurobindo. Works like Pallav showcased his unmatched ability to weave delicate, musical imagery, while his later masterpiece Chidambara earned him the Jnanpith Award in 1968, the very first time this prestigious honor was given to a Hindi writer. Pant was also recognized with the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Padma Bhushan. He passed away in 1977, leaving behind a poetic vocabulary that taught the Hindi language how to capture the exact softness of falling dew and the quiet grandeur of the mountains.
Paired Painting
The Universal Form of Krishna
This profound image depicts the climactic revelation of the Bhagavad Gita, where Lord Krishna unveils his infinite Vishvarupa to his devoted friend, Arjuna, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It captures the terrifying and glorious moment where time and eternity collide. As Arjuna stands in humble, trembling prayer upon his chariot, he witnesses the entirety of the cosmos housed within the divine form. The painting invites the viewer to contemplate the smallness of human ego against the backdrop of an all encompassing reality that births, sustains, and ultimately consumes all existence.
