।। যুগান্ত ।।

শেষ কেমন ছিল ? শেষ কেমন হয় ?

যুদ্ধমৃতদের চিতা নিভে গেছে অনেক বছর ;
রাজ্যপাটে কেটে গেছে অনেক গ্রীষ্ম-শীত ।
তারপর এল সেই দিন : তাঁর জানা ছিল ,
জন্মের মত অমোঘ সে কাল খণ্ড... 1/n
প্রথমে দেখলেন অগ্রজের মৃত্যু,
শেষনাগবেশে প্রাণত্যাগ !
যুগসন্ধির প্রবাদপুরুষের হৃদয়েও
কি জেগেছিল একটু উচাটন !?!

বসলেন ধ্যানে, ভাবলেশহীন;
শুধু প্রতীক্ষা...
চাতক পাখির মতন,
মন কি তখন খুঁজেছিল
পরিত্রাণের উপায় ? …2/n
নিমেষে হয় অপেক্ষার শেষ,
বাণ এসে লক্ষ ভেদে :
তৃকালদর্শীর স্মৃতিতে
কি জেগে ওঠে
ত্রেতা যুগের সেই
বকেয়া হিসেব :
কর্মের শোধবোধ !?!
তারপর ...ভ্রু মধ্যে
একীকৃত প্রাণশক্তি,
মিশে যায় অনন্ত ইথারে ...3/n

Inside the cave in which Adi Shankaracharya met his Guru Govindapada, in Omakreshwar (two hours drive from Indore) there is an idol of Kali, the Mother Goddess in a tantric depiction. …1/n
The body is draped in a red sari, the face bereft of definitive features except a fiery red tilak on the forehead. The most compelling feature of this depiction is the eyes of the Goddess, piercingly black, that follow one almost hauntingly in any direction one moves. …2/n
As per the chief pujari of the temple the idol has a fascinating history : it was made and put in the cave following Shankara’s visit to Bengal. There he met with a great number of tantrics, …3/n
