Mystic Vision In Indian English Poetry Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Mystic vision in Indian English poetry
Taking me to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar,
Kamrupa-Kamakhya, Konark,
Vaishno Devi, Puri, Tirupati,
Kashi, Prayag and Varanasi.

India the land of sadhus and sadhakas
Taking me back to
Kabir and Ramananda,
Adi Shankaracharya and Trailangaswami,
Dayanand Saraswati,
Ramkrishna, Vivekananda and Aurobindo.

Buddha The Light of Asia,
Mahavira's ahimsa,
India seen from far
In Cambodian zens,
Buddhists lost in meditation,
Traversing in search of
Knowledge and truth.

The tales Mahabharatan, Ramayanan,
From the Bhagavat-Gita,
The folk dramatization
Of Sita, Rama, Dashrath, Lakshman,
Bhishma, Drona, Eklavya,
Harishchandra and Sabya and Rohit'
Prince Siddhartha and Yasodhara,
The tales on the lips of the people.

India heard far from the Dalai Lamas,
The Chinese travellers,
In American transcendentalist,
Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman,
In Kant, Schiller, Sopenhauer,
Deussen, Maxmuller
And in Goethe and Tolstoi.

Vedanto-Upanishadism, Puranic studies
Taking the canvas away,
The Advaita-Vedanta of Swami Vivekananda,
Aurobindo's Savitri
The Life Divine in poetry,
Iyengar's Sitayana,
Mahapatra's rock-built temples
Reverberating with.
