Basukinath Temple Of Lord Shiva Poem by umaprosad das

Basukinath Temple, the Court of Lord Shiva, we know
Millions of Devotees from all over the country do go
In the month of July-August, Bol Bam and Dak Bam
Carry holy water from Sultanganj to Basukinathdham
Sultanganj,135 km away where the Ganges passes by
Walk all along to pour holy water to Lord Shiva thereby

We visited Deoghar and Basukinath in last October,2014
Being the Guest of Professor and Mrs. Sah, we esteem
Provided us hospitality and care in the best possible way
Became the companion in site seeing, being utmost gay
We visited Basukinath, the Lord Shiva with a young priest
Busy in customer catching, performed the rituals in least

In India Vivah Utsav, a large winter fair, one of the many
To celebrate in Basukinath, Ram-Sita's marriage ceremony
Where millions of devotees throng together to see a view
Celebrate, enjoy, sell and buy domestic needs, year-long due
Such winter country fairs, many a places in India are held
To fulfil domestic needs of country people, year long upheld

India is in rapid progression but along with self-concentration
Amongst individuals, destroying social feeling, hence isolation
But stands still in maintaining its tradition and culture the best
Dealing with 'Atithi Debo Bhava' we felt being Prof Sah's guest
Who feels in heart and soul and treated us as ‘Guest is the Lord'
Keeping the ancient tradition of India, making their hearts so broad
