How difficult is knowing

How difficult is knowing

                                                            a poem by dkmishra
 
 

How difficult is knowing
Being you in yourself
Aware of your craft
Unmarred unruptured
At times of being live
When required most
When desired most;

Distance do we chose
Or distances apart us
Invariable space rise
At times of closeness
When required most
When desired most;

Is knowing an Art?
Few are blessed with
Fewer ought to be aware
Then of distance
Then of space
Engulfing the self
At times of fulfillment
When required most
When desired most;

Puppets of Karmic design
May reckon astral existence
May beckon the World unreal
Pity still be on Reality
It loomed large on pain
At times of blissfulness
When required most
When desired most.

TWO YEARS WITHOUT HIM (MICHAEL JACKSON 25 June 2009)

TWO YEARS WITHOUT HIM (MICHAEL JACKSON 25 June 2009)
Tribute to the King of POP
(i must say Yes we do remember you)
Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were young
And innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember
Back in the fall
We’d be together
All day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each other’s eyes
We’d stare
(tell me)
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember
How we used to talk
(ya know)
We’d stay on the phone
At night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so
I’ll never let you go
Do you remember
Back in the spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They’ll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Remember the times
Ooh
Remember the times
Do you remember girl
Remember the times
On the phone you and me
Remember the times
Till dawn, two or three
What about us girl
Remember the times

Mai Ri Mai Ka Se Kahoon Peer

Mai Ri Main Ka Se Kahoon – Madan Mohan and Lata
Dastak 1970 ) Cast: Anju Mahendru, Anwar Husain, Kamal Kapoor, Rehana Sultan, Sanjeev Kumar
Music Director: Madan Mohan
Director: Rajinder Singh Bedi
Producer: Rajinder Singh Bedi
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
This song is available in both male and female versions. Music Maestro Madan Mohan left a treat for all music lovers.When Lataji was out of India, he asked her permission and sang this song. The movie DASTAK was ready except for the filming of this song.  Madan Mohan took over the responsibility of singng this song so that it could be filmed on Rehana. Later Lata was back and she sang the song, which alongwith Madan Mohans version was included in the film.
“Dastak”  is a classic Hindi film made in 1970, it was written and directed by Rajinder Singh Bedi, and was his directorial debut. The film is still known for its award-winning performances by its leading cast, Sanjeev Kumar, and the newcomer, Rehana Sultan, and for its memorable songs by the musical genius Madan Mohan, he won his only National Film Award for it, and the lyrics  of Majrooh Sultanpuri. Hrishikesh Mukherjee, the famous film director turned editor of this B&W film, and won a Filmfare Award of it, his second after Madhumati in 1958.
The music of Dastak stands out for its allegiance to the classical traditions of raga based melodies given by its music director Madan Mohan, who manage to get from Lata Mangeshkar, ostensibly her best performance as a playback singer. Not to mention the films songs are still considered the best works of all the contributors, including films lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Mathura and Vrindava: O Krishna! We Still Keep You in Prison

!Hari Om!
Krishnaya vasudevaya Devaki Nandanayacha
Nanda Gopa Kumaraya Govindaya Namostuthe
Iscon
Iscon: radha krishna
(Recently I visited Vrindavan and Mathura. Despite the hot weather, experience of travelling these two holy cities was beyond imagination. )
Sri Krishna
Sri Krishna Janmbhoomi : Mathura
King Kansa  is gone
Aurangzeb did what he may
Eras turned and moved on
But O my dear nand lal
We still keep you in prison.
( These lines flashed as and when I entered this place. Having true Hindu spirit, I respect all faiths and religion, but what i felt, we do not respect and believe in our religion)…..(keep the politics aside.)
Sri Krishna
Dwarikadheesh Temple
Dwarikadheesh Temple : Mathura

Vrindavan Ki Gali
Old Lane to Yamunaji: Vrindavan
Vrindavan ki purani galiyan, samne hain Yamunaji
I saw many more old stuctures crying for care and renovation.  Lot of politics about religion, why dont we care to protect what we still have.
Mysterious Man
Who was he? -Lord of the Lords, O Banke Bihari!!
I walked through this lane three times at an inerval of about 3-4 hours adding upto 8 hours, this dark thin bodied strange man in picture was sitting in the same posture. He was not a begger, not a saint, not even mentally retarded. He was silent, blinking all the time as if talking to himself. Not bothered of any other existence. Not looking anywhere. I wondered -O Krishna who was he?
Banke Bihari
Passage to Banke Bihari Temple : Vrindavan
One Wonders even such a rush can be so smooth. ……….chanting radhe..radhe..radhe..radhe

The experience of Darshan here is spellbinding, truly unspeakable.
Missed my camera as it was not allowed inside the temples
Radhe Krishna
Radha Krishna on Streetwalls, Trees
City Of Radhaji: Vrindavan
Here even the trees and walls speak Radhakrishna-Radhakrishna, no need to tell about the people here.

May Lord Krishna Bless Us with His Darshan again and again!
