तुम वहन कर सको जन मन में मेरे विचार, वाणी मेरी, चाहिए तुम्हें क्या अलंकार। भव कर्म आज युग की स्थितियों से है पीड़ित, जग का रूपांतर भी जनैक्य पर अवलंबित, तुम रूप कर्म से मुक्त, शब्द के पंख मार, कर सको सुदूर मनोनभ में जन के विहार, वाणी मेरी, चाहिए तुम्हें क्या अलंकार। चित शून्य,--आज जग, नव निनाद से हो गुंजित, मन जड़,--उसमें नव स्थितियों के गुण हों जागृत, तुम जड़ चेतन की सीमाओं के आर पार झंकृत भविष्य का सत्य कर सको स्वराकार, वाणी मेरी, चाहिए तुम्हें क्या अलंकार। युग कर्म शब्द, युग रूप शब्द, युग सत्य शब्द, शब्दित कर भावी के सहस्र शत मूक अब्द, ज्योतित कर जन मन के जीवन का अंधकार, तुम खोल सको मानव उर के निःशब्द द्वार, वाणी मेरी, चाहिए तुम्हें क्या अलंकार।

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.

Lord Krishna Blowing the Conch Shell

This captivating digital creation brings to life one of the most resonant moments from the Mahabharata, depicting Lord Krishna as he raises the divine conch shell to his lips. The sound of his shankha shatters ignorance, declares cosmic order, and infuses courage into the hearts of itemViewers and the righteous. The artist portrays the Supreme Being with radiant celestial skin, adorned with a magnificent jeweled crown featuring a peacock feather, and rich floral garlands. In the background, a smaller figure mirrors the sacred gesture, symbolizing the interconnected nature of the divine and the devotee within the cosmic vision of the Gita.
