Where Is Odisha There Is Gopabandhu Das Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Where is Odisha there is Gopabandhu Das
Where is Gopabandhu Das there is Odisha
Unaffected by flood natural calamities
There ends all desires in service.

I have not seen You Gobandhu
i have read You in school for the first time
And I wandered since then here there
To search you from the affluence.

You are here on the road with nothing
You knew that there is nothing in this world
And You collected all unseen powers of
Love affection and was getting joy.

O compassionate, You have saved millions lives
For this You have sacrificed your life
Wife son and everything
I thank your father Daitary mother Swarnamayee.

Your village Suando of Puri district Odisha India
Is great and is a place of pilgrimage since
9 December 1877 as you born there and served
The land and the people at large.

You were/are the Messiah of the downtrodden
Deprived, dispossessed, the voiceless, needy
And the like always and so you are the incarnation
Of love and affection and compassion.

You are the legend of Humanism and selflessness
You are the God Father of Odia and local people
Irrespective caste color religion sects
You are accepted by all you defeated all hurdles.

You have written so many immortal poems such as
bandira Atmakatha, Kara kavita, Dharmapada
Really You are the Utkalmani the jewel the pearl
Of all inhabitants here, my dear.

I bow YOU O great soul of humanity
You please come again and see the conditions
Of your crores children here how they are suffering
And give is correct direction and encouragement to serve.

We feel your absence here but your philosophy
Belief and principles inspire and enlightened us
For so many years to come so long as there is hope
There is an odia people in this world of ours.
