Gitanjali & Our Classical Tradition Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Gitanjali & Our Classical Tradition



Gitanjali as Song Offerings,
Flower offerings,
Flowers garlanded to offered
To the Deity.

Songs drenched in devotion,
Wet with
Feeling and emotion
And a sense of self-surrender,
Total surrender to the Divine.

The Soul pattering to the Supreme Soul
In dark despair and desolation,
Utter dejection and despondence
To be bailed out of the crisis.
It is classical love poetry
Used and applied in,
The poetry dating back
To Rashkhan, Jayasi, Kabir,
Sur, Tulsi, Mira and Vidyapati.

Man is a traveller
Moving on the path of life,
As a pilgrim
Going on the journey of life.

Man the song
And God the Flutist,
Man the reed
And god the musician
Playing the notes
And the notes, the melodies of music
Breaking forth.

The village maid waiting for,
Passing the long hours of solitude
As for the coming of her love,
Similar the images drawn from.
