S01E11: Shri Ramcharitmanas : The Foundation Of India | Hindi/Avadhi |
Hello & Welcome (Finally) to an episode of this podcast that is trust me very close to my heart but really far away in the number of episodes I have uploaded till date, but believe me, life leaves you with very little choices sometimes and you just gotta go with the flow.
Today, I read a beautiful article published in a monthly magazine titled "Kalyan" that I eagerly wait for every month, this magazine is published by "Gitapress Gorakhpur" which is a religious & cultural publication and probably the oldest in India. This publication is over a century old and they continue to publish religious, spiritual & cultural books and material and distribute them for a very low price across the country and even overseas. The magazine conytains some really great write ups, debates and articles that often pique my interest and somedays I decide to record a few of them to just make them accessible to a certain section of audiences who listen to this podcast. In a similar attempt I record an article in this episode for you guys so as to enable you to have an insight on one of India's most popular religious scriptures The Ramcharitmanas. I call it the foundation of India because our values, morals, actions and decisions have their basis in this very book which is revered by every Hindu across this universe. It is thus important for us to revisit our roots at constant intervals and that is what philosophy is all about, in this world full of ethical and moral dilemmas a frequent revisiting of our ancient philosophy guides us in these tumultuous times.
I hope this episode finds you in the best of health and spirit, with a promise to be back very soon...I wish you all a happy, healthy & peaceful life journey ahead

Today I read some lines which I read in the book by Amrita Pritam called Dastaavez, these lines were written in one of her letters to her lover and she mentions it in some context associated with the topic she was trying to explain in her letter, these lines were very powerful so I decided to record them and share them here with you all
Today I read a beautiful piece by Jaun Eliya, his words carry so much weight & emotions that they just keep resonating with you for a very very long time..

S01E08 Who Was Shams Tabrez? | Hindi/Urdu
Its been a couple of days now that I have been reading this book called Forty Rules Of Love, and it mentions two beautiful people namely Shams Tabrez & his disciple Maulana Rumi, I was curious and it wasn't the first time that this was happening, I tried to find info about Shams but there wasn't much available on the internet (or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough), but while reading the book, I started researching again and found something which I thought I should share with all of my wonderful listeners, so here I am just talking about "Rumi's Sun", I hope this episode finds you in great spirits and good health, I shall be back with another episode of A Talks Poetry very soon, until then take good care of yourselves.

S01E07 Krishna Ki Chetavani | Krishna's Warning | Hindi |
Hello & welcome to today's episode of A Talks: Poetry! As you all have been aware that since this podcast started I have been reading some really touching and beautiful poetry which I wanted to share with you guys and so I did, but a few days ago I had this idea were I wanted to share some Hindi poetry with you guys as well, coz why not! Hindi poetry has some really great gems that must be read and shared with the world, so following that concept, beginning today, in a 10 episode series of this podcast I shall bring to you some beautifully written Hindi Poetry by some stalwarts of Hindi Poetry. Today I begin by reciting a poem by India's National Poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, this poem is called "Krishna Ki Chetavani" which translates to "Krishna's Warning" and is based on an episode of the epic Mahabharata where Lord Krishna visits Hastinapur, the capital city of the kauravas, with a peace proposal so that the great war could be averted, but is eventually refuted by Prince Duryodhana's arrogance and adamant behaviour, so much so that he tries to capture the supreme personality of godhead himself in response to which the lord then decides to show Duryodhana what he is capable of and even predicting his and his kin's complete destruction. So let's embark on this new journey together and let's experience some great works of poetry in Hindi, beginning with this masterpiece itself!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen, I hope all of you are doing great, I know its been sometime that there was an episode of A Talks: Poetry, but trust me, life just keeps you busy in so many ways that you have to compromise on some things, which is absolutely unfortunate, but as they say..better late than never, so here is me reading a poetry by Bekhud Mohani titled..Kyun Ae Khayal-e-Yaar Kya Tujhe Khabar Nahin, this is a beautiful piece wherein the love, the longing and the determination to meet someone we love is very strongly presesnted, its a piece which is not a usual small rhyming arrangement but it is on somewhat different lines. This coupled with a new microphone constitutes today's episode, which I sincerely hope you'll will find of some interest. I know people who don't understand Urdu/Hindi will not be able to enjoy the words but they can still hear the feelings, the emotions which the writer puts forth, very soon I think I will be including some Hindi & English poetry in this podcast as well, Hoping this finds you in the best of spirits, here's me wishing you that may you be the best version of yourselves forever.

Zakhm Bhar Jaayenge To Aaunga Dobara | Urdu/Hindi |
Today on A Talks Poetry, I read a beautiful ghazal writen by Sarvat Hussein, this poetry talks about how we face the challenges of life, face heartbreaks, but then how we never give up, we move ahead and finally reach our destination.
Let me share this with all of you that whenever I read lines like these I always sit and think about what direction my life is headed towards, what is in store now, what next? will I be able to overcome the hurdles, the obstacles, the problems, but then the same life which poses these problems, also provides the answers, it provides a new direction and I start again, move forwards, life is the greatest teacher...it just keeps re-iterating that...always...
So do tune in to listen to this amazing piece written by Sarvat Hussein, hope you will enjoy it and I shall meet you with some more poetry in the next episode.
