Life is a Blessing: A Poem

Life is a Blessing

~ Titli Das


What is life?

Is that something

To be abandoned?

Something which creates

Much confusion?

Something which

Makes you a clown?


Absolutely not!

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest.

The confusions created

Should be resolved immediately.

The downs are always

Equalized with ups already.

And what is the shame,

If life makes you a clown?


Life tastes sweet

When everything is fulfilled!

Life tastes bitter

When nothing is better!

But these are temporary

Or may be an illusion.


Just as light

Dissolves darkness.

Similarly, happiness

Dilutes sadness,

With its positive forces.


Life is nothing;

But a blessing.

Enjoy your life 

With least expectation,

And more inspiration.

That’s the way to eternal bliss.

A Retelling of the Abduction of Rukmini by Lord Krishna by Bikram Badyakar   M arriage is a sort of ritual by which a man and a woman make their relationship public, official, and permanent. According to our Hindu scripture, there are eight kinds of marriage systems. Rakshas vivah (demon marriage) is one of them. According to Manusmriti,  the abduction of a girl by intimidating, injuring, or killing her relatives, friends, and acquaintances is called rakshas vivah . From this definition, it is clear how cruel this vivah is. But still, Lord Krishna abducted or did rakshas vivah to Princess Rukmini. Here the reason for Rukmini’s abduction has been explained through their canorous and adorable love story.   A long time ago in  India, Bhishmak was the king of Vidarbha. He had five sons and one daughter Rukmini. She was a very pretty woman and people considered her as goddess Laxmi. After hearing about the form, quality, and influence of Lord Krishna from almost al...

The Art of Listening || By Bikram Badyakar

  The Art of Listening  by Bikram Badyakar In the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita lord Shrikrishna says to Arjuna on the knowledge of the Gita –  “Even those who only listen to this knowledge with faith and without envy will be liberated from sins.”   These words illuminate the profound power of listening—not merely as a passive act, but as a transformative spiritual practice. True listening goes beyond hearing; it is the quiet art of opening the mind with humility, trust, and presence. When we listen with sincerity and without prejudice, we allow wisdom to take root within us.  Most of the time, we don't really listen to what others are saying. They are saying but we take the meaning as per our prejudiced mind. Our prejudiced minds constantly interfere in their speech. That's why what they try to deliver to us, most of the time, can't be taken as they say.  By listening experiences and thoughts of the people, we always get some new lessons that may be useful in ou...
