Neel Kanth* Poem by Nida Nawaz

Neel Kanth*



Listen! A handsome visage of this existence
Is surely to gulp down the entire venom on this earth
And grow to be a *NEEL KANTHA.

And Another gorgeous truth of this life is to
be like NECTAR,
Gulp down the pain and sorrows
And grow to be a human being.

(Translated From Hindi By Autar Mota)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
*Neel Kanth is another name of Shiva known as Mahadeva or Shankara as well. As per Puranas Lord Shiva drank the poison that emerged from the ocean churning. With TANDAVA dance, the effect of this poison was nullified but the neck part of Lord Shiva turned blue. Accordingly shiva is also know as NEEL- KANTHA..
