ବଡ଼ ଦାଣ୍ଡ ଆଜି ଉଠିଛି ପୂରି
ଚକା ଡୋଳା କୁ ଦେଖି ମନଭରି
ଭକ୍ତି ରେ ଭକତ କରେ ଗୁହାରି
କାଳିଆ ସାଆନ୍ତ ଆସ ହେ ଫେରି
ଲକ୍ଷ୍ମୀ ରହିଛନ୍ତି ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ।
ଟୋପା ଟୋପା ବର୍ଷା ପଡୁଛି ଝରି
ଭାଇ ଭଉଣୀ ଙ୍କୁ ସାଥୀରେ ଧରି
ଜନମ ବେଦୀ କୁ ବିଦାୟ ଦେଇ
ଜଗତ ର ନାଥ ଆସେ ବାହୁଡ଼ି ।
-
କୋଟିଏ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ଯାଉଛି ଲାଖି
କଳା କଳା ଚକା ଆଖି କୁ ଦେଖି ।
ଶ୍ରୀମନ୍ଦିର ରତ୍ନ ବେଦୀ କୁ ଛାଡି
ସେବାୟତ କୋଳେ ରଥ କୁ ଚଢି
ଝୁଲି ଝୁଲି ଆସେ କଳା କହ୍ନାଇ ।
ଭକ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ପାଖରେ ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ ।
ଭଜନ, କୀର୍ତ୍ତନ, ଘଣ୍ଟା ଘଣ୍ଟ ନାଦ
ଭକ୍ତି ରେ ଭକତ ହେଲେ ସମର୍ପିତ ।
ଭକ୍ତ ଭଗବାନ ହୋଇ ଏକାକାର
ଭେଟି ଦେଲେ ସତେ ଏକ ସ୍ଵର୍ଗପୂର ।

RATHA YATRA
Is the spiritual journey of the deities
To meet the multitudes of devotees .
The sacred wheels of the chariots
Give strength to overcome all obstacles .
The divine energy of lord Jagannath
Illuminated the challenging path .
The rhythmic chanting and vibrant procession
Can lift the spirit of devotion .
RATHA YATRA
Is the unbreakable bond
Between people and their LORD .-
Life is a struggle between mind and heart
Each is pulling forward in its own path .
The mind directs logical decision making
The heart drives emotional thinking .
The mind often neglects emotional consequences
The heart usually ignores facts and evidences .
Rigid consideration might stifle innovations
Emotional perception can strain connections .
To be away from HEART'S clouded judgement
And MIND 's insensitive , uncaring treatment
A BALANCE is required
To reconcile the forces of mind and heart .
Though it is extremely crucial
At the same time is absolutely essential-
Blaming the Other
Love , like jealousy and competition ,
Is a powerful and spontaneous emotion .
People struggling with these emotions
Can take unacceptable and impulsive decisions .
Often their actions are shrouded in controversy .
Some of them are even very unworthy .
In a futile but skillful attempt
They want to mask their contempt .
For their own mistakes they blame the other
And prove themselves utterly cheaper .-
Images in a mirror.
Some poems are like records in a register .
The mirror can reflect the poet's inner world
His sentiment and regard .
His real life experiences
Are revealed in words and phrases .
Even the reader
See themselves in that register .
Some poems are like a trusted friend
That allows the poet
To express inexpressible feeling
And thereby to endure profound healing .-
ଆଷାଢ଼ ଯେବେ ଛୁଇଁବ ମାଟି
ଅପସରି ଯିବ ବୈଶାଖ ତାତି ।
ଧୀର ପାଦ ଥାପି ଆସେ ମୈ।ସୁମୀ
ରିମ୍ ଝିମ୍ ବର୍ଷା ରେ ଭିଜାଇ ମାଟି ।
ମେଘ ଓ ମାଟି ମାଆ ର ମିଳନ
ମନରେ ଭରେ ସ୍ୱତଃ ସ୍ପନ୍ଦନ ।
ରଜଦୋଳି କଟ ମଟ
ପୋଡ଼ ପିଠା ଲାଗେ ଭାରି ସୁଆଦ ।
ଶୁକ୍ଳପକ୍ଷ ଦ୍ଵିତୀୟା କୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା
ଚକା ଆଖି କୁ କରିବାକୁ ଦେଖା ।
ଶୀତଳ ଷଷ୍ଠୀ , ରଜ ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି , ନନ୍ଦିଘୋଷ ଯାତ
ପାଇଁ ଆଷାଢ଼ ମାସ ଅଟେ ପବିତ୍ର ।-
ବାପା ତୁମେ ସାଥେ ଥିଲେ
ଦୁନିଆ ଟା ଲାଗେ ଭାରି ନିରାପଦ ।
ଯାହାକୁ ଦେଖି ହେବ ଧରି ତୁମ ହାତ ।-
My father is that primary centre
Around which my world orbits .
My father is that reliable pillar
Upon which my confidence builds .
My father is that magical healer
By which my pain exits .
My father is that unfathomable river
From where my expectation emits .
My father is that formidable anchor
To which my hope clings .
My father is that mighty emperor
In whom my spirit revives .
It is only because of my father
My life has turned from good to better .-
Father is not the mere male parent
For his kids
Is the brave defender in the most critical moment .
The loyal striver for a stable environment .
The skilled shaper of character development .
The devoted motivator of the best interest .
The dedicated promoter of the notable achievement.
The vigilant pursuer of uplifting encouragement .
Father , by his profound practice
Has become exceptionally patient
And the only responsible friend .
