Description: AUTHOR’S NOTE


Thanks to the wide experience I received from my long travels all over my state and other countries, I am privileged to get in touch with different sets of people and their different and distinct styles of living strategy. The faster evolution happened in the technology, especially in the electronic media- the Radio & TV, made me closer to this universe and to understand the phenomenal changes occurring in all the living beings including men. I became attracted more to the animal life and plant life as well as our human life, and found the plants and animals are beyond their pride and prejudice, with no revenge and hatred, and there is no prediction, fantasy, nor any artificial thinking for them. They, the plants and animals live, very truthfully, to this nature, believing and obeying the nature’s rules so strictly, declaring that all we are mere individuals in this world and all we should know the truth, ‘the fittest will survive’. I am following the plants and animals to note how they became the fittest and strongest, that they follow the philosophy of the nature not to be a slave to the environment and the circumstance, but to overcome the obstacles by doing hard work, by tolerating and waiting for a fovourable time to keep away the scarcity- period, finding own way, to be happy and alive.

Let me consider the colors and fantasies that fall into the human mind as a source of realization of the universal truth of love and sanctity that always happens naturally beyond our imagination and expectations. It is the supreme truth, that makes me think, feel and behave according to the emotion that predominates within me from time to time; and so I submit myself to this world as a small particle  of this universe, a small ray of the cosmic energy that pervades everywhere. The content of these poems is the essence of my talks, I have been presenting all over my State, for the last 40 years, as an orator , to get my listeners and students convinced, about the reality of their life in this world, with a positive perception. These thoughts, I have written in a very simple English so as to make any non-language man, understand what I meant. I haven’t used any hard knots of poetic expressions or symbols, but my thoughts are made open with free verses in simple English; and sincerely I wish that every one may realize, what I meant to say. Yes, I believe, understanding others and their behavior,  as per the relative understanding of things,  will complement this world and I would like to be a small part of this nature, purely to complement and not at all to contradict the true existence of this universe, as it is...
 
Sometimes our mind is clear and transparent and sometimes it is mischievous and naughty,  and sometimes it is malicious or harmful to us that we may feel many things that we should not have felt, and sometimes we don’t ever feel what we should have felt, as others do in the same circumstances. The position of right and wrong may vary and most of the mistakes, we feel and do, are because of the monkey-play, the changing phenomena of the mind, and nobody is exempted, from this childish deeds, on any basis of their power or position. Human mind, in general, is having such jumps and runs, applicable to all, just like that of children participating in their plays, forgetting themselves, as they are fully involved in their play. Yes, life is a play, full of comedy of errors and the tragedy of fun that one can think and laugh to himself. As stated by Shakespeare, I fully agree, the human life is a full-length drama, with conflicts and contradictions that may affect any one at any time; and here I am trying to picturise the dramatic consequences that may fall into an ordinary human mind.

I am thankful to one and all, known and unknown to me, being in the net work of this vast solar system, giving and taking energy and light, for the mutual benefit and for the fruitful coexistence here in this world. I am thankful to all,  if any one there,  who misunderstood and neglected me for no fault of mine and to all who rejected and ridiculed me mercilessly, without considering my merits and virtues. I am thankful to the unquestionable orders of this universe and the perennial force, the supreme power of truth, for me, it has no name nor form, but spreading everywhere, as the rain sprinkles all over the plants, trees, lakes, rivers and deserts, alike, irrespective of their aspirations. I believe, the supreme truth will never be late to present by itself in the very necessary moment, to save the truth of everyone and everything.

I am thankful to Prof Savithri Sahasranamam and Miss K Ambika  for their careful reading and editorial service to rearrange these poems in a beautiful casket like this.

And am thankful to my wife and children for keeping me always in peace and solitude to fill my heart with this vivacity of the nature, in whole.

With love and regards
