Rathayatra Comments

ଲୁହ ଝରି ଥାଏ ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ଦେଖି ସେ ଜାଗା କୁ ରଥପରେ, ସକଳ ପରବ ସାର ଯାତରା, ନୟନେ ସେ ଭାବ କି ଅପାସୋରା, ରଥ ଯାତରା ଗୋ ରଥ ଯାତରା, ନେତ ର ତୋରା ମନ ରସ ଝରା, ଭକତିର ଭାବ ବାନ୍ଧେ ସଭିଙ୍କୁ ଜଗତ ଜଣାଣ ମୋହେ ଆମ୍ଭଙ୍କୁ. .**********ଏହି ଚମତ୍କାର ରଥଯାତ୍ରା କବିତା ଟି ପୁନଃ ପଠନ କରି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଧନ୍ୟ ହେଲୁ...ଏହା ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ଭାବରେ ଏକ ଅତୁଳନୀୟ କବିତା ଅଟେ. ***********

though i can not read them, i think it is very nice that you submit Odia language poems which many poets on PH CAN read. bri ;)

A fabulous piece of work!

Mo patha chalara dainandina klanti-shranti Mo nitya aananda uchhwasara bhrama asaranti To paakharu aarambha o To paakhare sesha Seithi prashanti.. .. Han seithi prasanti, jeunthi arambha o shesa Han sethi, jeunthi tanka pakhare rahichhi anabila sneha Han sethi, jeunthi mu bhulijae mo patha chalara dainandina klanti Han seithi, jeunthi lina hoijae mo ananda uchhwasara bhram Han seithi prasanti, jeunthi purna hue eka sundara kavita Kabayatrinka komala kamala spurita jhara nirjhara kalama munaru. Han seithi prasanti, jeunthi prabhunka prema rahithae amari sakase Aau ame paraspare bandha hoi rahithau prema, sneha o smrutira rajjure. Han, aau mo pain seithi prasanti, jeunthi mu dei pare dhanyabada mo adaraneeya kabayatree Bharati bhagninku. It is a marvellous poem on car festival in oriya language with stunning expression and beautiful diction. Thanks for sharing.10

Oh, I forgot to mention yesterday: the sound, the words and the rhyme brings forth the right mood of the poem. And I enjoyed reading.

I dont understand Odia. But read through the poem in full. beautiful. If only I could understand the meaning! I have listened to my friends speaking Odia, though I do not understand. But I understood SNEHA, MAMATA and AATMIYATA.

In the cycle of life and death, happiness and pain, gain and loss, He is the only one who shows us the path to a true Nirvana. Let us have faith in HIM and take life as it comes. Beautiful drop.10++++++

I have enjoyed reading this beautiful poem but it is a pity that I could not understand most of it. However, a few words remind me of our old cultural values. I quote: Sneha, mamata, atmiyata bhaaba Seithi prashanti

Walking in the road of life with tear and flow of sorrows and emotion still fills mind and spirit with interesting imagery and cheerfulness on occasion of Rathayatra, the great festival of Lord Jagannath. This greatest universal Lord of Odias blesses in open festival. Having peaceful sharing like such a marvelous poem makes many people or readers devotional and emotional.....10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
