Basanti Bhagabati Puja Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

It's Bhagabati's time,
Bhagabati worship of Chaitra month,
Basanti Puja time
As spring has not left us completely,
Trees are in blossom,
Jasmines still keep blooming
With the dazzling foliage of golden buds of leaves.

Against the backdrop of the blazing sun,
The days full of humidity and perspiration,
When days seem to be longer,
The worship of Basanti Bhaganti draws our attention
And we seem to be drawn to drum beats, gongs sounding
And the sacred chants from the Chantipatha taking us by strike.
Greened beautifully
Telling of a newness.

It is Bhagabati's time,
The time to hear the Chandipatha,
Let us go and hear the sacred chanting of the mantras
Going deeper in us.
