ACHHE
POSH GAV LACHHI NOVUY HETH is a superb devotional
lyric in Pt. Krishna Joo Razdan's Shiva Pranae.
Here the immortal Kashmiri bard rapturously
celebrates Uma's union with Chandrachud. The
beautiful flowery metaphors illustrate the
saint-poet's deep devotion for Lord Shiva and his
Divine Consort, Shakti. The fragrant lyric
scintillates numerous flowery hues and tinges. The
poetic artifact reveals unique sensitivity of the
great devotional poet's visual and olefactory
perceptions. Into the flowery fabric Razdan Sahib
entwines some eternal idealistic verities. The
lyric, as a whole, reflects the unique sancity of
Kashmin Hindu wedlock. The predominant mood
objectified is devotional repute and ecstasy.
Shiv
Pranae is transcreation of Shiva Mahapuran. This
devotional literary work opens with the
saint-poet's invocation of Lord Ganapati to bless
him with the talent for narrating the story of
Shiva's union with Shakti. According to the poet,
Lord Ganesha, the Onkar-shaped omnipresent god, is
the bestower of all kinds of boons. A habitual
contemplation of his divine form, dispelling
impediments, blesses a devotee with the kinds of
successes. Wearing pearly necklaces, he commands
Lord Shiva's Rudra legions; he is the vanquisher
of Lord Indra and Lord Vishnu, the god with a
trunk and a single tusk is the dear son of Shiva
and Shakti; he is invited before all gods to bless
sacrificial fires, he is the principal attendant
of Adi Shakti; the god with four arms, wears red
garments and holds his court at Ganpatyar; he
carried his four weapons in his four hands for the
destruction of demons and maleficent giants.
