THE
C. C. JHAVERI
Yonder before my dazed
eyes unroll majestically,
Colossal serried ranges
of the mighty
Sprawling like a giant,
stretching out extensively
In the shadows of
Eternity,
Gazing
at infinite space.
The great Gautama, the Panda vas and a grand galaxy
Of Prophets, Truth Seekers,
Sages and great Rishis
Came here to rest, to
stay, to resign and meditate,
To seek, to find, to
know
The
way to Man’s salvation.
In the dim glow of dawn,
in the grand carnival of sunset,
The vision of eternal
snow rocks the mind into a reverie,
Kindles in heart’s
loneliness a blaze of purest ecstacy,
A reality beyond
conception,
A dream mirrored in
memory.
Myriad of streams riding
out of their mountain retreats,
Winding, wandering,
murmuring sweep along the green gorges,
Swell into mighty rivers,
roll, roll on, into ocean slip
Singing idyllic melodies
Of
their epic pilgrimage.
Eternal guardians of our
ancient culture and great heritage,
Abode of Gods, Sanctuary
of Bliss, symbol of Timelessness,
Where Heaven meets
Earth,
And God unto Man speaks.
The breath-taking
panorama attuned to profound tranquility
Echoes
with mute voices of silence emanating from the Beyond.
Here man unfettered
walks in the sublime shadow of Eternity
With thoughts
extinguished
Entranced
in deep ecstacy.
The aura of solemn
silence hallowed by divine conscious
Transforms vast expanses
of the giant ranges into a
Of
infinite Beauty immersed in transparent peace and harmony.
In this serenity one
feels
Face to face with oneself.
