Sasha Arhant – The Blessed Soul

From:  Padmini Arhnat

With grief and sorrow, I share the news on the demise of our beloved Sasha Arhant – family pet this morning.

Sasha personified true love and endearment.  They are called human’s best friend in life not without a reason.

I dedicate the poem to my Sweet Angel. 

Sasha Arhant – Our Guardian Angel!

Our lives blossomed upon your arrival

Your presence resembled day at carnival

Elegance, beauty and charm your assets

Unconditional love and loyalty your domain

A gift wrapped in a bundle

Sash you are our Guardian Angel! 

 

You are our inspiration beyond imagination

Your determination to strive exceeded realization

Sweet, adorable and strong willed demeanor

Made every moment pleasant and brighter

May your soul rest in peace

Sash – You are our Guardian Angel!

 

Now you are the brilliant star

In eternal bliss and endless happiness

Heavenly abode with paradise as home  

With no pain and only gain

May you guard us in spirit

Sash – You are our Guardian Angel!

Farewell! Sasha Arhant my beloved daughter.

Peace to all!

Gandhi Jayanthi (146th Birth Anniversary) – Remembering the Mahatma in 2015

October 2, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Commemorating Mahatma Gandhi’s 146th birth anniversary.

Peace and non-violence pioneer’s steadfastness to free India from foreign rule posed immense challenge to the imperial power.

Mahatma Gandhi’s simple and humble attributes was in contradiction to flamboyance and pompous disposition maintained in the position of authority.  The genuine leadership is often recognized in sincerity, integrity, courage and commitment to serve humanity.

Most importantly speaking the truth without fear or concern for smear determines individual character and selflessness – a rarity in power oriented politics promoting false image to subvert reality.

Gandhi exemplified virtues with emphasis on equality and harmony transcending prejudice based on race, religion, caste and creed. The world blinded by violence and acrimony emanating from greed and desire for dominance rejects peace with no respect for life other than own existence despite death a certainty for all.

Mahatma’s relentless pursuit on liberty and unity characterized Gandhian principle in the hope to alleviate suffering among the poor, hungry and oppressed population worldwide.

Freedom struggle continues in the aftermath of Mahatma Gandhi and compatriots sacrifice with corruption and criminality governing politics contributing to huge economic and social disparity.

In pre-independence period there were remarkable members in society pledging their life, time and resources for the country sharing the common dream to liberate homeland. 

The alacrity in claiming sovereignty from foreign control attracted volunteers across the spectrum with single goal in mind to decline subjugation.

In comparison, the present time sworn allegiance to sources embarked on treason and depleting state treasury with guaranteed political impunity.

The dominion republic status is acceptable due to benefits to political establishment and affluent class from subservience to undemocratic system compromising national and public interest.

Nonetheless, Mahatma Gandhi and legions dedication in  patriotic endeavor ever remain the beacon of light to awakened mind.

Tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and other great souls for indelible mark on patriotism and honorable legacy.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Rakshabandhan (Rakhi) Festival

August 29, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Greetings and felicitations to citizens observing the important social event – Rakhi.

Rakshabandhan epitomizes family value with focus on brother sister relation not only in family but also in society.

Rakshabandhan is a special occasion with a reminder to brother to safeguard sister’s honor and reciprocation from sister to support and cherish family bonding in male female relationship.

Gender equality allowing male and female in diverse roles in life is natural.  The parental responsibility to be shared between father and mother and siblings caring for each other contributes to unity and happiness.

The festival is also an opportunity to revive rich cultural traditions that are meaningful and positive in maintaining human character that is unfortunately in decline with alarming incidents of rape regardless of age.

Human weakness to lust lacking in self control fostered with judicial outcome favoring rapists and decisions condemning rape victims in itself indicative of social and moral degradation. The social and political circle influence due to own indulgence exacerbates victims’ plight. 

Women as opposite gender is primarily a mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, aunt and a good friend besides being a wife to a man in life.  

In the  modernization fervor portrayal of women as objects of voyeurism and general perception with sexual connotation provide basis for rape, molestation and sexual assaults against women. Again those involved in such violations have fundamental problems in personal traits reflecting on upbringing and inherent deficiency in adjusting to acceptable norms in society.

Furthermore, the escalation in repeat offense against women emanates from the absence of strict laws punishing the offenders rather than condescendence towards femininity. 

Notwithstanding violence resulting in deaths of those coming forward to rescue women from eve teasers and mobs engaged in sexual harassment.

Society’s progress is evaluated on treatment of all beings with respect and dignity barring any prejudice.  

Unless the milestone in this context is reached, the material achievements are ethereal and unsustainable.

Education, awareness and public debates are necessary to curb misogyny restoring equal status. 

Best Wises on Rakhi to brothers and sisters following the Indian custom.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

United States – Happy Father’s Day 2015

June 21, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Happy Father’s Day!  To individuals and families on this occasion in recognition of father’s contribution and involvement in providing for the loved ones and to people as father figure to them. 

Parenting is a partnership and sharing responsibilities ease the burden on each other  leading to family happiness and peace. 

The relationships founded on equal respect and functioning with better understanding barring gender inequality and subordination has mutual benefits and successful future for the family.

The services and selfless actions of anyone gain prominence regardless of acknowledgment and exemplify virtues and values that determine human character. Their dedication and love in caring for members within and outside family demonstrate sincerity and true commitment that never is in vain.

Wishing a pleasant and memorable Father’s Day.

Peace to all!

United States – Happy Mother’s Day 2015

May 10, 2015

By Padmini Arhant

Happy Mothers’ Day!  The love and kindness of motherhood, fatherhood or parenthood dedicating their lives to raise family deserves appreciation throughout life.

Just like trees perform their functions enabling life on earth, parenthood founded on values, affection, compassion, courage and character could be the cornerstone for generations to benefit all.

Genuine gratitude expressed in sincerity would be meaningful and continuing the tradition to acknowledge the labor and sacrifice of those prioritizing others needs over self-requirements would exemplify real culture and civilization progress.

Happy Mothers Day!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
