Blurb/Short text: Each living being on earth grows up in body and intelligence after birth. However, God was more than kind to human beings when he was writing the destinies of all living creatures. Of all who grow, none was to pass through childhood as the child of Man. A pup was to become a dog, a lion cub was to grow up to be a magnificent beast, to rule in the jungle like a king, a foal was to become to a charming horse, a duckling was to become a duck, a baby whale was destined to roam and ride along the sea waves, and so on and so forth. But, none though given physical progression, was given the magic potion of emotion, imagination, affection, and above all the ability to communicate— expression. This is what makes the childhood of the son of man different from the rest. This is what makes him Man. “Innocent Times” comes to its readers with the innocence of a child, wearing the smile of a child, in the unsure yet certain footsteps of an affectionate child.

Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless… by Sandeep Silas

Hi friends, announcing the publication and launch of “Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless…” my book of poetry/lyrics in English, in Europe on 30-07-2022 !

ISBN-13: 978-613-9-42258-6

ISBN-10: 6139422582

EAN: 9786139422586

Book language: English

Blurb/Short text: “Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless…”, I must confess was mostly written at a time of great turmoil in my life. As the winds grew harsh and biting, the storm following with fearsome intent, I stood strong like a tree in the Fall, releasing more colour and spreading more joy. In a phrase, I must say—I lived the season. I know that all these songs in this book will one day touch the soul of the people in the world and music composers will delight in them, with them. These are the songs of the people. You and I live similar lives, in more or small measure; with stronger or lesser intensity; with suppressed desires and hopes; and with stars shining in the darkness of the night. It is one thing to see a star and another to hold on to its twinkle. Find your star and let its soft light raise a glow in your life. I have just done that in “Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless…”.

Borough in the Mist, revealed… by Sandeep Silas

Hi friends, announcing  the  publication  and launch of  my  book  of  poetry  in  English “Borough in the Mist, revealed…” in  Europe on 30-07-2022!

ISBN-13: 978-613-9-42262-3

ISBN-10: 6139422620

EAN: 9786139422623

Book language: English

Blurb/Short text: The autumn leaves have started falling. Yellowed. Aged or matured? They have lived their puny lives on the tree. Like the sunlight they drank in everyday, they have become—the colour of the sun. In their freedom from life on the tree, is grace. They will rest in the grass, melt into the soil of collective consciousness and this energy will rise on another tree sometime in the future. So are my poems in this collection. They grew within. Each taking a different shape, a structure as definite and free as the thought, each speaking of the time it saw and soaked. They filled me up, as long as they grew on me. They ate of my flesh and drank of my blood. These are my creations. Eventually, they had to meet the earth on which I stand. New leaves must replace the earlier ones. Yet, they would belong to me in the sense the air, earth, water, fire, light and darkness belong to me. The endless cycle of ideas and words falling in composition the time ordains must go on. Like many others of my ilk, I love painting with words. But, the mere picture is not enough. I must see that it reflects, the seen and unseen. I must, like a seeker, seek the world of my dreams.

संदेसा Sandesa- Message to the Beloved by Sandeep Silas “deep “

Hi friends, announcing my latest book of poetry in Hindi-Urdu (Devanagari, a collection of 101 poetic offerings in ghazal, nazm, song, and muktak (free verse) format, published on 3rd January 2022. Like its title says it is a message to the beloved. When you read it you will feel like it’s your heart that is sending the message to your beloved. Many times  you’ll feel that the beloved is equated to God. That’s the beauty when poetry is written personally in complete surrender to your heartthrob, but gets universalised in the big world out there.

Love is a blessing, feel it in the verses of Sandesa!

It’s up there on Amazon Kindle!

Description

Sandesa, is a cry of deep love, it is not just a message, but a call to the beloved to come and be united with the lover. The lover speaks to his beloved in verse in different poetic formats, mainly ghazal, nazm and songs. Sandesa has emerged from the depths of heart, from the intense emotional upsurge not normally felt unless one is in complete surrender to his beloved.

Sandesa has captured all the moments those breathed life between conversations, feelings, touch and prayerful love. It is a masterpiece of poetic love, true to its core. Sandesa is an immortal offering to the beloved, whom the lover celebrates to the heavens. You will appreciate the structure each poetic presentation follows, feel the melody, the rhythm, experience the joy of love, the longing, the deep desire of the heart, the submission to God and the Divine Mother. The poet talks to God seeking His blessings to resolve the dilemma of the beloved. The beloved in Hindi-Urdu poetry is equated to God and God to the beloved. You will find the different schools of poetry writing in Sandesa; the Sufi way, the Radha-Krishna spiritual love, songs based in the melody of Ragas, and sometimes free verse that runs with a powerful force as a story with a message.

Sandesa, is a poetry lovers delight, a treatise of love. It is a conversation between two people in love, with deep longing in heart. It is not just that, it is an authentic love story in verse, soaked in romance and all the feelings of complete surrender in love. Such divine love is rare to be experienced in these days and most uncommon to be felt. It is spiritual and uplifting. Above all it is true.

स्वीकार करो मेरी उपासना (Sweekaar Karo Meri Upaasna) by Sandeep Silas “deep”

स्वीकार करो मेरी उपासना

स्वीकार करो, मेरी उपासना
मेरी माँ, मेरी माँ।

मैं प्रेम का सागर लिए बैठा
हृदय में तुम्हारी लाडली है
मन में आस, मैं लिए बैठा
नैनन बसी हुई वो प्यारी है।

मैं मनोकामना, हूँ लिए बैठा
मेरी शक्ति तुम्हारी भक्ति है
मैं अँसूँअन धार, लिए बैठा
तेरी शरण, मेरी आसक्ति है।

स्वीकार करो, मेरी उपासना
मेरी माँ, मेरी माँ।

मैं अनकही बात लिए बैठा
तेरी बेटी ही मेरी दुलारी है
मैं क्षमा याचना लिए बैठा
वो मेरी, जन्मो से, रानी है।

मैं सबरी दुनिया छोड़ बैठा
बस उसकी मुझे लालसा है
मैं तेजोमय रूप लिए बैठा
उसकी मुझे बहुत तमन्ना है।

स्वीकार करो, मेरी उपासना
मेरी माँ, मेरी माँ।

हाथों में तस्वीर मैं लिए बैठा
एक उम्मीद तेरे दर लगाई है
रूह की सच्चाई, लिए बैठा
मैंने प्यार की लौ, लगाई है।

मैं माथे पे तिलक, लिए बैठा
तेरी छाप, नैनों में सजाई है।
तेरी दया की आस लिए बैठा
मैंने जीवन रंगोली सजाई है।

स्वीकार करो, मेरी उपासना
मेरी माँ, मेरी माँ।

लाया गेंदा के फूल, माँ (Laaya Genda Ke Phool Maa) by Sandeep Silas “Deep”

 

लाया गेंदा के फूल, माँ

लाया मैं गेंदा के फूल, माँ
एक लाल चुनरियाँ भी माँ।

लाया मैं गेंदा के फूल माँ
एक लाल चुनरिया भी माँ
हिया पूजा का थाल है माँ
करुणामई है तू, मेरी माँ।

हर साँस में तेरा नाम माँ
मेरी आस तुझ तक, माँ
क्या माँगू, तुझ से मैं माँ
बिन माँगे तू देती है माँ।

तेरे द्वार पर, आता हूँ माँ
अपना सर झुकाता हूँ माँ
दयौड़ी पे तेरी रोता हूँ माँ
एक ही दुआ रखता हूँ माँ।

आँसुओं की झड़ी से मैं माँ
तेरे चरणों को धोता हूँ माँ
कृपा करो मुझ पापी पे माँ
रहम की भीख मांगू मैं माँ।

एक सपना देखा है हमने माँ
तेरे मंदिर उसको लाया हूँ माँ
वर दे, उसका साथ मिले माँ
भर दे, अपने हर रूप से, माँ।

एक “दीप” लाया हूँ मैं माँ
तेरी बेटी का सिंदूर भी माँ
लाया मैं गेंदा के फूल, माँ
एक लाल चुनरियाँ भी माँ।

दो सरीर, एक आत्मा

दो सरीर, एक आत्मा
देख, अजूबा परमात्मा।

आकास में, सैकड़ों आत्मा
जिन्हें नाहीं मिले परमात्मा
बानी से झलके है, आत्मा
दो नैनन से बोले है आत्मा।

एक ही सोच, एक ही हिया
मैं हूँ दर्पण, तू मेरा है पिया
रोशनी देत है, एक ही दिया
चल सजनी घर अपने पिया।

तू गाए जा, गीत परमात्मा
माँ सुन रही है तुझे, आत्मा
सर्व बाधा का होगा ख़ात्मा
तय है हमारा मिलन आत्मा।

हो गया है मग़न तुझ में हिया
सुन ले पुकार, मन की पिया
सजाया पूजा का थाल हिया
तेरे लिए धड़कता मेरा जिया।

ना ख़ुशी है तेरे बिन, आत्मा
नाही जीवन बीते है, आत्मा
सब तार जुड़ गए हैं, आत्मा
तेरे लिए सब कुछ है, आत्मा।

दो सरीर, एक आत्मा
देख, अजूबा परमात्मा।
