Prominent writers, writers and artists from the country participate in this three-day program. Well-known poets and writers participated in the ‘Yudh ke Viruddh’ session on the stage of ‘Sahitya Aaj Tak 2024’, the biggest Mahakumbh of literature.
Bharat awardee Bodhisattva poet Bhushan Agarwal, Raza awardee poet Ashutosh Dubey, Spandan Samman awardee poet Vivek Chaturvedi and poet Jitendra Srivastava participated in this session. These poets, through their experiences, perspectives, and poems, seriously discussed the dangers of war and its human impacts. These poets not only made listeners reflect on their works, but also deeply touched their sensibilities.
during this time Poet Jitendra Srivastava He introduced human sensibilities through poetry. He recited his poem Sonchirai…
There was a girl named Sonchirai
When she laughed, there was sunshine and flowers bloomed.
When I walked, the spring breeze blew.
Everywhere I went, people were stunned.
And like in every story
she also married a prince
the prince sacrificed his life for her
His lips opened in praise of her.
his language except his love
and I forgot all the tastes
There was sleep in his eyes and no agreement in his heart.
And so two-four years passed without Sonchirai’s lap being filled.
Family gift to sister-in-law, nephew to mother-in-law
The husband did not get the virility award
The sister-in-law started saying Brajvasin.
The mother-in-law began to say infertile.
and that lasts day and night
like the breath in it
He said what is your golden body for?
you better get out of this house
Your shadow will not be good for our clan.
Sonchirai cried a lot and begged but no one listened.
A woman crying after home.
He began to wander the universe and found a forest.
tigress found in the forest
he told her his sorrow
and asked him to eat it
The tigress said, go back the way you came.
I won’t eat you
otherwise I will also become infertile
What does Sonchirai do?
From there he reached the snake’s anthill.
A snake came out of an anthill.
The snake heard his pain
Then he said, “Go back to where you came from.”
that will bite me
then I will become infertile
Sonchirai became very sad
so what do you do
He reached his mother’s door as he fell.
The mother asked about his well-being.
In what trouble has the beloved daughter arrived like this?
daughter expressed her pain
And Chirauri said, please give me a space for mom to live.
Mother told her daughter after marriage
I shouldn’t live in Nahar
What will people say about the garden?
go back where you came from
And listen, don’t feel bad daughter.
Who will cast your shadow?
then my daughter-in-law will be infertile
Saying this the mother closed the door.
What will Sonchirai do now?
appealed to the earth
Now give me shelter, mother.
I can’t stand the pain
It doesn’t work with these steps
The people who carried me in the eyelids
There was no place for me even on his porch.
Where should I go now except into your lap?
The earth said that your sorrow is great
But what could I do?
go back where you came from
I will hold you on my lap
then I’ll be bored
And friends, what happened next?
he’s not in any story
What happened was that everyone was disappointed.
Sonchirai sat down
A day spent by a river.
Two days passed and on the third day at noon a handsome young man appeared.
He reached the river suffering from thirst and saw Sonchirai.
Seeing Sonchirai, he forgot everything for a moment.
He was distraught and asked Sonchirai in a low voice the reason for his sadness.
And after knowing everything
asked to go with you
Sonchirai snatch hiccup moment
then joined him
When he died, his eight children cried.
he shouldered his coffin
Sonchirai was a mother of eight children.
She was a woman and women are never sterile.
She creates, she creates only then we become you
Only then does the world exist, man does not have the courage to create it.
They are only there when men
Men are…
right there Poet Ashutosh Dubey He said that the Mahabharata war was, in a way, a war of justice and politics, but the pain that followed was expressed by Dharamveer Bharti in his own words. Because of the war someone has become the loneliest. There are side effects of war. Compassion is at the center of poetry.
During this, Ashutosh Dubey recited a poem titled ‘On the Tomb of an Unknown Soldier’. He said it always creates hysteria. It is created and people enter it. There is so much destruction ahead of us. We are seeing a lot of fights. Ashutosh put into words the devastation caused after the war through poetry. Opposition to war is only possible through love, but it is not that easy either.
During this, Ashutosh Dubey recited a poem which was very much liked. Its title was: Let it go…
Let it go, let it go
If you stop him, maybe he will stop too.
but stopping is not staying
release the one who leaves
in your mind it’s already gone
Now I just walk out the door.
after these Bodhisattva alias Akhilesh Kumar Mishra He said that if there was no war then there would be nothing against war. You are fighting a hidden internal battle, but you don’t know it. Draupadi is at stake, she doesn’t know that she is at stake. He has no idea what is happening to him. In our society there are undeclared wars. There are wars even in democracies. Those who fight for the officer will have to fight.
He said that if there is no fighting then there is also war poetry, in which there is a heroic essence. To be against war is to be Balram of one’s era, to be for war is to be Krishna of one’s era. If you are fighting against the evil Duryodhana, who breaks his promises, you will have to break the rules.
During this, the Bodhisattva recited a poem, its title was: Inscription Indicating Happiness…
This inscription tells us that everything is fine.
State reports that the people are happy in every way
as much as the king has
The officer has it, the sentry has it.
It is reported that there are no poor people in the state.
There is no sadness, there is no darkness.
Inform that grace and sadness are punishable crimes
It is reported that now there is no illness or sadness or pain.
Imagine when the crocodile started dragging the elephant into the water.
Then Vishnu keeps changing his clothes even after hearing Karun’s scream.
Running barefoot and helpless in response to the pathetic cry for help.
It makes Vishnu the all-encompassing Vishnu.
Poet Vivek Chaturvedi Also read his poems.
Many beautiful things are disappearing from the world.
Like sparrows, like warm sun, like stars like childhood…
Apart from this, see more poems…
Locks remember keys.
hanging from doors
the keys turn
town, city or sometimes the entire country
Days, weeks, months or years pass.
and the locks see the way
No key can ever be returned.
Those pocket or wallet thieves
runs away and falls on the road
is lost or left in the dust
In unknown places then another key
is sent to the lock in the same way
But locks recognize your keys.
They don’t open with another key
The locks jiggle and jiggle.
get bored with tools
they accept beatings
crack and then break
hanging locks ever
the years go by
And turn to stone when your key
returns and recognizes them
Fight from within to open
But it can’t be opened, it still gets wet for a long time.
and suddenly they open into drops of love
The key to his interior door goes into his body.
and the locks shine
Locks want to keep the keys
They don’t want to be left hanging with their hands holding the doorknob.
They want to open themselves to a world of loneliness and boredom.
Locks remember keys.
Come the way.
