ज़य जयति भारत भारती !
The "kavi - sammelan" / "poetry recital" @ the Indian Counsulate/ Bharatiya Dootawas , last Fri /( 9th Feb. )
went off very well --
I was invited as the Mukhya Atithi / chief Guest ! Yes !!
I was overwhelmed by this kind gesture by Dr JayRamanji who is the Chancellor of Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan NY shakha !
Just before the Kavi Sammelan began, Smt. Ambalika Mishraji took me aside & taped a short Radio Interview on the poem i wished to recite
Ambalika ji had met my Papa, @ Jammu as a young girl & worked for AIR ( btw the name Aakashwani, Hawa Mahal, Manjusha, Man Chahe Geet , Gajra, Bandan -vaar are all given to the various programmes of Vividh Bharti by Papa ji the poet par excellance - Pandit Narendra Sharma in his younger days ) & Ambalika ji now works for UN - Hindi News Services & also for a NY Radio show.
I met lotss of very prominent people --
like Dr Swadesh Ranaji, who recited a beautiful Urdu gazal of hers, Dr Anjana Sandheer who sings like a professional singer & has learnt classical music from Banne Nawab Khaan saab ?
( i think ...but will ask the name once again to her, next time we chat ) , She teaches Hindi @ the prestigeous IVY league Columbia Uni no less !!
My My !!
Poetess ( who teaches HINDI @ YALE ) Shree Seema Khurana a pretty Lady with a sweet smile & equally sweet voice read her 2/3 poems
-- Rajni & Anoop Bhargava ji both excellent Hindi poets , kindly hosted us ( Me & Deepak ) & spoke
modern , meaningful poems --
Dr.Bindeshwari Aggarwal ji also teaches Hindi @ NYU
-- & many many others --
They gave me Geeta Gyaneshwari's translation from Marathi to Hindi by --
Dr.Shreemati Urmila Jaamdar
( I'm looking forward to reading that )
this book was a gift handed to me in front of 3 TV channel cameras by the Counsuel General for Education , a sweet & shy young lady named Reenat Sidhdhu !
I was the 4 th poet invited n recited a Ganesh shloka in sanskrit - -
" वक्रतुँड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ
निर्विघ्नँ कुरु मे देव शुभ कार्येषु सर्वदा "
" then i recited a short " Bharat Rastra vandana "
--- which was liked by all -- the words are so pure & awe inspiring -- listen : ~~
ज़य जयति भारत भारती ,
ज़य जयति भारत भारती !
अकलँक श्वेत सरोज पर वह ज्योति देह विराजती !
ज़य जयति भारत भारती,
ज़य जयति भारत भारती !
नभनील वीणा स्वरमयी

( written on: April.10.1989 )
" Mera Bharat pyara "
" Mera Bharat pyara "
" हम भारतीय जन मन मेँ
कहीँ गँगा छिपी हुई है !
-आत्मा मेँ श्री राम हैँ
श्रीमुख पे सीता माँ की छाँव है !
है बाजुओँ मेँ श्री, लक्ष्मण
नयनोँ मेँ श्याम -कृष्ण हैँ
अधरोँ पे श्री राधिका है
कानोँ मेँ शिव -स्वर्ण हैँ !
माटी की है फिर भी काया,
चँदन सा सुगँधित काष्ठ है
बहती है श्वास बनकर,
मलयानील सुरभी- सी !
रात्रि मेँ थका हुआ लहू ही,
बन जाता है यमुना जल,
दीर्घ बन कर के शिराएँ
बस जाती ये घाटीयाँ !
हैँ उच्च आकाँक्षाएँ ,
हिमगिरि सी विध्यमान,
बने विँध्याचल -सुमेरु,
कटी मेखला समान !
पाँवोँ को पखारते हैँ,
त्रिविध वर्ण सागर,
रत्नाकर के रत्न सारे,
निछावर,माँ, तेरे पग पर!
माँ भारती मेरी प्यारी !
हे अम्बिके, भवानी !
हे वीर प्रसविनी - माँ
हे, जगदानन्दायिनी, तारिणी!
हे माँ, तुझे शत नमन है!
हे माँ, तुझे शत नमन है!
शारदा, सुषमा मनविहारिणी !
हे लक्ष्मी -पति की प्यारी ,
हे पृथा पुण्य शालिनी माँ !
तुझे शत नमन है ~
तुझे शत नमन है ~
तुझे शत नमन है ~

Diyabh ji,
yes, it was a first time experience - for me -
before this I'd recited 2 poems @ our local Hindu Mandir - for Mrs Renu Rajwanshee Gupta's Hindi book innauguration where Dr Jayramanji heard me -- he was amazed as the last time he had seen me was a young girl , living @ my papa's home , many moons ago !
He calls Papaji's home " Hindi Sahitya ka Tirth -Sththan " in Bambai ----
thought to share this with you -- rgds,
