Dear members of GHA, Good Evening Despite being Covid positive and got admitted in Apollo Hospital due to high fever and breathlessness, my questand commitment to compose a befitting poem for WORLD POETRY DAY 2021 (21, March) still remains strong.
Wish and hope, you will all appraise the poem. I am sending two designs of the same poem for your own choice to choose. Regards Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana www.worldpeacepoetry.com 20-03-21 Poetry is the most graceful spiritual harmony of spherons
Dear poet Ashok ji, Dear the GGHA poets, The GGHA is happy to congratulate you on the World Poetry Day 2021, wish you good health and a speedy recovery along with new healing poetic achievements. Poetry in all centuries was valued as the most graceful spiritual harmony of their times and has retained many world poetic names: Homer, Khayyam, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, Schiller, Pushkin, Lermontov, Shevchenko, Baudelaire, Maykov, Tyutchev, Kipling, Blok, Akhmatova, Pasternak, Tsvetaeva , Yesenin, Lorka, Brodsky and hundreds of others. They brilliantly saw and expressed natural harmony but the social harmony of spherons remained inaccessible and incomprehensible to them as the source of human life, first discovered and applied in the liberation of India by Mahatma Gandhi. In the GHA, which has devoted itself 16 years to the scientific research of spherons and provided their fundamental verification by world statistics in "Gandhica" (2019: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=848), the first in world poetry, a conscious poet of spherons, grew up - Dr. Ashok Chakravarthy. For this, he was awarded the GGHA Highest Honorary Title: "Gandhian Creator of World Harmony". His unique poems dedicated to harmony, peace, love and nonviolence of the Gandhian spherons, their best refuge and protection for children, women and all the disadvantaged, have been published on dozens of relevant pages of the GGHA website and on its personal page: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=286. We are sincerely grateful to Ashok for his highly intellectual and inspired poetry that should heal and save him from Covid. We are happy to present two of his best poems dedicated to the GGHA 16th anniversary and the Poetry Day published with numerous wishes of recovery on his page. Happy Poetry Day to all GGHA poets, members and friends! Poetry that has reached the highest and inspiring spiritual harmony of spherons' nonviolence, paving the way for saving peacemaking global nonviolence! With love and solidarity, on the GGHA behalf,
Dr. Leo Semashko,

Поэзия – самая изящная духовная гармония сферонов
Дорогой поэт Ашок, дорогие поэты ГГСГ,
ГГСГ счастлив поздравить вас с мировым днем поэзии, пожелать вам крепкого здоровья и скорейшего выздоровления вместе с новыми исцеляющими поэтическими достижениями. Поэзия во все века ценилась как самая изящная духовная гармония своего времени и сохранила множество мировых поэтических имен: Гомер, Хайям, Данте, Шекспир, Гете, Шиллер, Пушкин, Лермонтов, Шевченко, Бодлер, Майков, Тютчев, Киплинг, Блок, Ахматова, Пастернак, Цветаева, Есенин, Лорка, Бродский и сотни других. Они гениально видели и выражали естественную гармонию, но им осталась недоступной и непонятой социальная гармония сферонов как источник жизни человечества, впервые открытая и примененная в освобождении Индии Махатмой Ганди. В ГСГ, посвятившем себя 16 лет научному исследованию сферонов и обеспечившем их фундаментальную верификацию мировой статистикой в «Гандике» (2019: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=848), вырос первый в мировой поэзии, сознательный поэт сферонов – Др. Ашок Чакраварти. Он был удостоен за это Высшим Почетным Титулом ГГСГ: «Гандианский Творец Мировой Гармонии». Его уникальные поэмы, посвященные гармонии, миру, любви и ненасилию Гандианских сферонов, их лучшему прибежищу и защите для детей, женщин и всех обездоленных, опубликованы на десятках соответствующих страниц вебсайта ГГСГ и на его персональной странице: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=286. Мы искренне благодарны Ашоку за его высоко интеллектуальное и вдохновенное поэтическое творчество, которое должно вылечить и спасти его от Ковида. Мы счастливы представить две его лучшие поэмы, посвященные 16-й годовщине ГГСГ и Дню Поэзии, опубликованные с многочисленными пожеланиями выздоровления на его странице. С Днем Поэзии всех поэтов, членов и друзей ГГСГ! Поэзии, достигшей высшей и вдохновляющей духовной гармонии ненасилия сферонов, прокладывающей путь спасительному миротворческому глобальному ненасилию! С любовью и солидарностью, от имени ГГСГ,
Лев Семашко,

Poems for the ICAN/GHA “Anti-Nuclear Manifesto”: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=908 CANNOT THEY MAKE While love, harmony and peace purify our souls and mind The unsafe nuclear weapons are contaminating our lands; Is it not a malicious inhumanity and crime against humanity? Is it not a global genocidal terror looming large with ferocity? Unless we dispel the fears of hate, prejudice and hegemony And, replace them with social, racial and ethnic harmony; We can diffuse conflicts and create trust-worthy interactions And open the doors for discussion, dialogue, and negotiation. The instinct of egoistic dominance is sowing seeds of conflict Mutual trust over the years is gradually becoming mistrust; Deserting ideologies, why are nations vying for nuclear race? In same spirit cannot they make the earth a harmonious place?
THE RIGHT TO LIVE
The concern of the apocalyptic nuclear weapons Piled-up with a thirst for supremacy by nations; Scare every human with inconceivable destruction Holding hostage ‘the right to live’ of every person. World security and peace is the peoples concern Their strong quest is nuclear weapons prohibition; Ignoring the concern of own people; some nations, Holding captive entire humanity with such actions. Right now encircled by volcanoes of nuclear environs Earth being our common home, we cannot abandon; How to create a positive environment of expectation, Seriously should we act to avert our global extinction.

GHA 15th Anniversary and World Poetry Day 2020
Dear GHA members, friends,
The GHA is happy to congratulate you on the Poetry Day with the brilliant Poem of our Indian poet, Dr. Ashok Chakravarthy "GANDHI POETRY BLOSSOM", which he also dedicated to the GHA 15th anniversary with its two peacemaking peaks: "Gandhica" and "Gandhicracy"! We highly appreciate Ashok's unique poetic contribution to the Gandhian global peace through spherons, especially in these lines: "Poetry sees the Gandhian peacemaking varnas Even their blossom in the GHA great spherons.» We were happy to publish this wonderful poem on four pages: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=927 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=286 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=907 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=855 And in Russian: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=818 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=827 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=324 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=791 It will be published also in the new book 2020, in the part: “Gandhicracy Poetics” as the first contribution to this new poetry of the 21st century. Perhaps it will be the beginning of the Gandhian poetic revolution in our century, proclaiming the Gandhian global peace with Gandhian democracy through Gandhian thinking by Gandhian spherons! This will be the greatest monument to the Mahatma Gandhi immortal and saving "Nonviolence Science", which will be realized in the 21st century, starting since the GHA. Ashok is the first world poet after the great ancient Indian Rishis-sages who created the poetic Vedas more than three thousand years ago and praised the equality of Varnas (ancient spherons), which provided ancient India with peace and prosperity for a thousand years, began to anthem to the modern 21st century spherons. Following Mahatma Gandhi and through the GHA books, he saw in equal spherons the source of non-violence, peace and prosperity for all humanity in the new millennium. Therefore we are happy to congratulate Dr. Ashok Chakravarthy, the great Indian poet, on this outstanding achievement and contribution to the humanistic poetry of the new century. With love,
Dr. Leo Semashko, GHA founder and honorary president, 20-03-20
Good Evening GHA Members, I take the occasion to congratulate one and all to mark the 15th Anniversary of the GHA, as also the commemoration of WORLD POETRY DAY 2020 (21st March).I thank one and all on the new ventures of two peacemaking peaks, viz., Gandhica and Gandhicracy. Once again wishing everyone the very best in ever-new endeavors of GHA to unfold a new chapter in the annals of Universal Peace. Regards and best wishes, Dr. Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana 20-03-20

Dear Leo, I am pleased to let you know that today evening I had explained and presented a copy of GANDHICA to HIS WORSHIPFUL MAYOR - HYDERABAD CITY, CAPITAL, TELANGANA STATE - INDIA - DR. BONTHU RAMMOHAN. Please find attached TWO PHOTOGRAPHS relating to the presentation of GANDHICA BOOK. Poetically Yours Dr. Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana # 16-2-836/L, Plot-39 Madhavnagar, Saidabad, Hyderabad – 500 059 [TS] INDIA http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=286 03-01-20
Dear Ashokji,
Many thanks for your excellent presentation of the GHA unique book “Gandhica” to the Hyderabad City/Capital Mayor of the Telangana (Telugu Land) State. Your two wonderful photographs of this important event were published on the Gandhica presentation page here: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=902. The GHA highly appreciates your courage, responsibility and resourcefulness in promoting Gandhica in India together with Dr Subhash Chandra, President of the GHA-India. Thanks a lot to both of you. Question. Could your young and well-educated Mayor (Dr.) help you translate and publish Telugu Gandhica for your state's schools and universities? Could you talk with him about it. If you want, we could prepare a letter together in three for him. Is this possible for you? Another question. Your bold and active presentations of this book, right down to the Queen of Britain, prompted my idea to gift this book to the political party of Gandhi - the Indian National Congress (INC), which he created and which helped him in the non-violent achievement of Indian independence in 1947. This party (now opposition) and its leader, Mr. Rahul Gandhi, have the right, more than anyone else in India, known and studied Gandhica, unique in its innovative disclosure of the societal depth and foundation of Gandhi’s non-violence that are still unknown to science and Gandhian researchers. Could you alone, either with Dr Subhash Chandra or with any responsible admirer of Gandhi, present this book to Mr. Rahul Gandhi or simply mail it to the INC headquarters? If you presented this book to the Queen of Britain, then why not send it to the leader of the Gandhian INC, which ensured the independence of India?
Agree, this is a pertinent question to us, to the GHA, to the GHA-India, personally to you. What do you think about this and how do you answer it? Our Gandhian Enlightenment cannot ignore the political cradle of Gandhi. Do you agree with that?
Friendly,
Leo,

Good Afternoon I am pleased to let you know that I had presented our GANDHICA BOOK to Queen Elizabeth, UK, President & Prime Minister of India. Prior to above, I had the opportunity to attend the 39th World Congress of Poets, held in Bhubaneswar, INDIA, which was attended by writers representing 82 nations.There, I presented the book and the attached photo comprise myself with Susana Roberts, Ernesto Kahan & Marie T Robert. This is for favor of information Poetically Yours Dr. Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana # 16-2-836/L, Plot-39 Madhavnagar, Saidabad, Hyderabad – 500 059 [TS] INDIA 05-12-19 DearAshokji, We admire your rare courage and high responsibility to present our Gandhica to Queen Elizabeth II of Britain and to the President and PM of India! If such a bold and responsible member of the GHA were found in every country, then the presentation of our Gandhica would become truly global at the highest level! We must enlighten our political leaders in those oppositional, repressed and weak ideas today, which in 5-10 years will become priority and wield the global public consciousness. Perhaps among the leaders there are far-sighted politicians who will understand that the sooner they begin to support the Gandhian ideas and Gandhica, the better everyone will be. I do not lose hope for the intelligence of some modern leaders, however rare it is among them. I was happy to publish the royal response to Gandhica on its three pages: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=848 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=902 https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=788 Your other photos were published here earlier.
GHA highly appreciates your great contribution to the Gandhica presentation and expresses heartfelt gratitude to you.

MISSION HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE IS MADE POSSIBLY EASY THROUGH “GLOBAL PEACE SCIENCE” (Brief view on Universal Book ‘Global Peace Science’ of GHA 2016)By Ashok T Chakravarthy Life on Earth is a confluence of multiculturalism; - closely knitted and attached with faiths of several religions and cultures. And, Global Peace Science (GPS) is one such marvelous key that can unlock human conscience and minds not only to prevent wars, terrorism but also resolve environmental crisis and economic instability. GPS definitely offers something unique to motivate and pave a way for transformation of human approach and shall be an eye-opener not only for this, but also for the generations to come.It can silently shatter the self-destructive tendencies embedded in human minds and can fulfill the universal need to project and protect, to acquaint and inject prophesies of universal love and love towards every living being. "Global Peace Science” is an epic-like subject which throws open permanent opportunities for the revival of peace, development of undeveloped-underdeveloped nations, educating children and youth to uphold social harmony and ultimately strives to create an environment viable for world peace, best suited for peaceful co-existence. If ‘tolerance’ is the key factor of the peace-coin, ‘trust’ is the absolute key for human relationship and it certainly is the other side of the same coin.To rid humanity from wars, terrorism and poverty, GPS is certainly a non-violent victory of peace over war during XXI century.It’s undoubtedly a world class text book to be prescribed for every school, every college and every university across the world. The ever increasing concern and the scare of a possible world war are pushing the world towards distrust amongst humans as a whole. The way anarchy, hatred, genocide, conflicts and violent activities have been increasing day-by-day, it is but common for every living being to feel insecure even midst a militaristic society. A secured human life, freedom from destructive apprehensions and protection of universal human rights is the primary cause of concern imparted through Global Peace Science to explore the bitter truth of what the superior-complex nations vie for. With such awe-inspiring and charioteer-like person Dr. Leo Semashko, President of GHA in association with like-minded and dedicated Members of the Association joined hands for creation of harmonious civilization based on Tetrasociology; can a second-thought ‘against peace’ intrude us?Therefrom emerged the confluence of 174 co-authors from 34 counties on the magnanimous and wondrous task of accomplishing the holy relic-like ‘Global Peace Science’ / ‘Peaceloveology, Peacescience’ to appease and soothe humankind. We have to tread this path and pave a way to others to tread this path laid with the delicate petals of global harmonic human civilization. With total faith and consciousness let this Great Good Gift of the century “Global Peace Science” enlightens every nation, every religion, every culture and every tradition to bring us together into one global family.

Mothers, women represent and embody Peace-Harmony-Life from nature via their natural deep intuition. But superficial military men and their nations-states represent and embody for people and nature the war-disharmony-death, which can be overcome only by global Spherons' Harmony in every nation-states through Global Peace Science. Could you write Poem about this philosophical matter of our days: "To be or not to be"?Thank you.

Lopera’s and Chakravarthy’s Poems: How to make harmony of strong, able to put end to our slavery? "Glory Harmony! Learners you're coming for you!"
Dear Jose,
Thank you very much for your strong poem “HIGH FINANCE”, dedicated to the highest financiers as the triumph of disharmony in financial (=militaristic) slavery of our world.
I was happy to publish it on your personal page here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=442. (I invite the famous Russian poet Adolf Shvedchikov translate it into Russian).
My only regret about it sad and hopeless end: the slaves of financiers praise them, not knowing the end! In the 21st century, we have scientific knowledge of social harmony in its ABC, which reveals to us the way out of our financial slavery in harmonious civilization through harmonious education and harmonious spheral classes. We are required only an unprecedented effort in the development of this knowledge and its dissemination through the global harmonious education and enlightenment of all people with children, so they know their involvement in the global harmonious classes rather than a doomed involvement to slaves of financial barons. Then humanity can exclaim: “Glory Harmony, knowing you're coming for you! We are not ignorant slaves of financiers!”
GHA is going this path consciously 8 years and encourages everyone to follow him! I invite you and other poets of the GHA, write poems not only about our slavery and financial dictatorship, and the power of harmony and triumph of the harmonious mind, illuminating a new world order of harmonious classes beyond dictators and oligarchs, Caesars and the accompanying them wars, violence, hunger and slavery. It will be a triumph of Harmony, to which global humanity will come in the 21st century! Please write about this dream that come true when we believe in it and when we talk about it and do not be silent.
I was happy also to publish another brilliant poem, another poet of the GHA, India, Tholana Chakravarthy dedicated to the Mother’s Day, "The Compassion Incarnate" on his personal page: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=286. Maternal compassion - this is one of the most beautiful feeling and a natural source of harmony. But it is not enough and too powerless, as history shows, before financial slavery and any violence. This harmony source also find its power and strength in scientific knowledge of social harmony and its main actors - spheral classes of the population, which are presented in the GHA ABC of Harmony and that will be studied in detail in an upcoming case study GHA in the coming year. only this knowledge can give mankind the full and true freedom from financial, militaristic and other slavery and to ensure social harmony as the highest embodiment of freedom and justice! It will be a true victory of humanity. It will be a victory over the total ignorance in harmony, generating fascism, war, financial slavery and other disharmony in the world. only the knowledge of harmony will make this world a better place!
Therefore:
Glory Harmony! Studying you're coming for you! Ave, Harmonia, studendo te vade! (If I made a mistake in the Latin translation - correct me, please).
Best wishes on Victory Day as triumph of harmony over fascism! For it will follow triumph of a harmonious civilization as victory over the financial slavery, war and militarization!
Dr. Leo Semashko,
GHA President

PHOENIX NEW LIFE POETRY SPRING 2012 No44 The Indian Culture of harmony and its expression in Poetry, Literature and Art of India The long history and culture of India emerged from its unique geographical location and its ancient heritage dates way back 5000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization and considered most diverse nation in the world. The rare delights are found in the centuries-old temples, tombs and forts; in the exquisite crafts still made in the traditional way. Religion and ritual pervade almost every aspect of life in India. Four major world religions - Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism have originated on the Indian soil and they have greatly influenced not only India but also South East Asia and other parts of the world too. Though each sect has its own rules, rituals and taboos, ordinary Indians largely follow a “live and let live” philosophy.It is this underlying spirit of tolerance that has enabled India to remain a unique tapestry of varied cultures and faiths. Acquiring Independence on 15 August 1947, India became a Republic on 26 January 1950.Despite some political upheavals, slowly and steadily India grew from strength to stability in all spheres of development to be presently reckoned as one of the fastest progressing nations in the world. The culture of India is a confluence of several religions, traditions, races, regions and castes which are harmoniously fastened with the world’s largest democratic nation.Indian culture is closely knitted with the melodious fabric of various cultures and traditions.The culture of India has its shades of influence by Persian, Arabic, Turkish and English cultures. A rare blend of architectural splendors, a recipe of distinctive multi-cultural entertainment and a hub of hi-tech amusement, India reflects a universal society.A living example to “unity in diversity”, every state of the Indian nation is governed on its own with its own language and customs to follow. The lively and lovely cosmopolitan culture is a feast to watch and as thought-provoking as it is explored.Possessing different customs, traditions and varied cultures, India is divided into twenty-eight States with six Union Territories (UTs) with New Delhi as its national capital. Indian democracy stands for universal oneness and reflects the harmonious co-existence of different sections of people as a whole, irrespective of their caste, creed, race and religion.To mention a few of India’s great grand divine temples, Kedarnath, Kalkaji, Lotus Temple, Birlamandir, Meenakshi Temple, Badrinath, Pushkar, Tirumala Tirupati, Golden Temple, Kanyakumari, Dwarkadheesh, Konark Sun Temple, Dilwara Jain Temple, Kasi Viswanatha, Mathura, Kanchipuram, Shiridi, Kali Maata,Vaishnodevi, Rameswaram, Madurai, Chamundeswari, Mookambika, Guruvayur, Ananta Padmanabha Swamy, Sabarimala and the architectural splendors of the Vijayanagara empire and the erotic sculptures of Khajuraho, The Buddhist murals of Ajanta; the inlaid carvings of flowers and animals in Mughal and Rajput palaces; the breathtaking architecture of the Taj Mahal, India Gate, Jantar Mantar, Qutub Minar, Charminar, Fatehpur Sikri, Golkonda Fort etc., have a unique history and glory of their own among numerous other landmarks.The culture of peaceful co-existence reflects in the historic Indian democracy.Economic freedom, providing voting right to ordinary people gives its citizens a great sense of participation in building the nation.It’s a blend of exceptional culture where realities shower delights of simple living and high thinking.Modern India has been fuelled by its vibrant, secular democracy, the largest in the world and, in recent years, also by new economic opportunities. Indian Literature :: The roots of Indian literature in English have its origin at the end of the 18th century and they got firmly rooted by the beginning of the 19th century.Education and literary expression in English have been decisively established by a social reformist from the Bengal State in India, by Ram Mohan Roy (1774-1833).His relentless efforts for including India amongst the world nations yielded desired results and paved way for educating the Indian pupils through English medium. This pillar of foundation gave the much needed boost for mass communication amongst the people of various regions within the country as well as to the entire world enabling mutual exchange of high cultural values and heritage. India’s languages are diverse with as many as 17 major regional languages and hundreds of dialects.The English language is among the lasting legacies of British rule in India. It is spoken by pan-Indian elite, widely used as a link language.During India’s freedom struggle, English language became a peaceful instrument in the hands of Mahatma Gandhiji, Father of the Nation, in revolting against the British Empire. Several political leaders throughout India, viz., Jawaharlal Nehru, Lala Lajpath Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, T. Prakasham, Kasturi Ranga Iyengar etc. emerged as literary legends.The most famous Indian literary figure was Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), a Bengali writer, whose book Gitanjali won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913. The other earliest examples of Indian literature written in English which have academic acceptance were that of the novel titled, Rajmohan's Wife, by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and the poems of young poetess Toru Dutt.However, Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was a distinguished poetess of literary merit hailing from Andhra Pradesh State in India, whose romantically weaved poetry charmed readers not only in India but across the European nations too. And Aurobindo Ghosh (1872-1950), poet philosopher and sage is no exception, whose epic, Savitri and Life Divine is an outstanding example of English literature.Gradually English became the authoritative legislative and judicial language, as well as the official language in India for all practical purposes. Indian Poetry has always been dazzling and still dazzles with ever-new glitters and ever-pleasing poetic expressions, viz. Sarojini Naidu in her Poem “PALANQUIN BEARERS” Lightly, O lightly, we bear her along, She sways like a flower in the wind of our song; She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream, She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream. Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a string. Ravindranath Tagore in his poem ‘WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR….” Where the mind is without fear the head is held high Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Toru Dutt in her Poem “SITA” Gigantic flowers on creepers that embrace Tall trees; there, in a quiet lucid lake The white swans glide; there, ‘whirring from the brake,’ The peacock springs; there, herds of wild deer race; There, patches gleam with yellow waving grain; There, blue smoke from strange altars rises light. There dwells in peace, the poet-anchorite. Govind Krishna Chettur in his Poem “NOCTURNE” Dear God, what beauteous paths are Thine! Now, all our being made divine, Resurgent flows back unto Thee Borne on this flood of ecstasy, Knowing in moments such as these Fulfillment of our destinies. A poet with a quest to promote UNIVERSAL PEACE, a couple of stanzas from the poetry volume, ‘SERENE THOUGHTS’ of Dr. T. Ashok Chakravarthy, Litt.D, Hyderabad [A.P] INDIA : “We got moved by droughts and famines Yes, got shocked by wars and destructions, We stood mute by the deaths of starvation Being humans, let’s sow seeds of concern. A change in attitude is the need of the hour O human! Time is ripe to amend our manner”. “Human, O human…… Besieging the human instinct With unceasing greed Often you become blind Whenever ….. You invade others’ weakness You ignore others’ sufferings You snatch others’ rights You betray others’ faith….” ><><><><><
Dear Members of Peace from harmony group On the eve of the International Day of Non-violence and in commemoration of the 138th birth anniversary of Sri Mahatma Gandhi, the Spirit of India – The Father of the Nation - I furnish hereunder a brief text on Mahatma Gandhi and a Peace poem on the occasion, as under : Mahatma Gandhi, an exceptional personality, familiar for his association with non-violence, a person who emphasized the need for unit among different religions, languages and classes of society was an unchallenged torch-bearer of universal peace. He was like a cloud of bliss when the people were thirsting for a shower of peace and that lustrous line of light had pierced through the dark spell of racism, violence, hatred and dominance. Mohandas K. Gandhi, conceived an all-time new weapon called, “Satyagraha”, which literally means a “non-violent & non-cooperative movement”, through which he drew unparallel public support and worldwide attention and was evenly instrumental in igniting the non-violent and peaceful imagination of the general public. Refining the technique of “Satyagraha”, Gandhi trained and influenced his vast followers and thereby succeeded in laying a solid foundation to strengthen the moral character of the firm believers. Whether male or female, rich or poor, literates or illiterates, young or old, weak or strong; Gandhi’s philosophy drew mass universal attention. Unlike other leaders, Gandhi did not believe in armed conflicts to drive away the anti-people rulers. on several occasions, he used ‘fasting’ and ‘non-cooperative’ movement as a means to achieve the goals, in order to purify himself and to calm the aggrieved hearts. He undertook the mammoth task of educating the-then 300 million Indians to stand on their own feet. He utilized the medium of his own newspapers to express opinions on political matters and he went on to become an unprecedented, uncontested, sole representative of the people. Virtually it was a one-man show of Gandhi, whom no one dared to challenge. By successfully employing Gandhi’s system of non-violence to achieve extraordinary success in their own political struggles, world leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. of the United States and Nelson Mandela of South Africa have successfully accomplished their political tasks. Despite Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination nearly six decades ago, there still exists every possibility to bring back the spirit of non-violence to achieve some definite objectives that would pave a way for universal brotherhood and peace. While remembering the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, it is but the endeavor of every Indian to extend the hand of friendship on this special day of 2nd October. Keeping aloof from violence and ruthless attitude and in turn promoting peace and exceptionally high level of moral character amongst humans, let this pledge be fulfilled for universal welfare and prosperity. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Tholana Ashok Chakravarthy ABC for Children of Harmonious Civilization A Cause of concern To survive in this merciless world He wanders, begging on the streets; Either a source to rely at least To feel the cozy childhood glitters, Or a mercy-filled parental heart To be blessed with fondling memories. Sleeping in wrapped-up newspapers Even in adverse weather conditions, He literally lives on the filthy streets With torn-out rags, deep sunk eyes Spending life’s traumatic moments Under the merciless human hearts Which fail to ignite any humane spirit? Midst the rubbish heaps, at times At times under the motorway bridge He’s a society deserted street child Abused and left as an accursed one. Oh God! His immature life is tragic Premature he may end up perhaps, Alas, who’s there to focus on his plight? Who’s there to balm his wounded heart? To put in motion a never-ending fight For the protection of children’s rights, Who would but become the leading light To give priority to the heart-jerking plights. Let such thoughts of social consciousness Sprout in the soil of every human heart In the busy world, midst our busy schedule, Cannot we spare a few of our moments To implant and impart a cause of concern For “protection and priority for children”. Tholana Ashok Chakravarthy ABC for Children of Harmonious Civilization Shattered visions of childhood Their dull, dusty and dismal faces Their desolate and pitiable glances Their deep-sunk lustreless eyes Their desperate and gasping cries, Alas ! At the fag-end of survival path Afraid, they stare at the jaws of death. Their shattered childhood visions Their heart-breaking compulsions Their soul-stirring dismal conditions Their cries of the agonizing starvation, Alas ! They fail to stir human hearts; Though, every moment a child departs. Yesterday was similar, today too even Where’s the concern for a co-human? Children are they, stung by starvation Lifeless are they, almost like skeletons Alas ! Grasped by the tentacles of hunger Their tearful eyes gape, seeking succour? Pierced by the thorns of human neglect The discontent of desertion clearly reflects, Is there no end to the inhumane aspect? Or, can’t we spare time to unfold the facts? Alas ! Children are they, starving are they A fist of food would save them for a day, Pray God, starvation deaths are kept at bay. 24/06/11 -----------------------------------------------------------
IF THE ….
If the blissful flags of peace Are tagged to the cries of war, If the friendly pigeons of peace Are freed in the war-torn skies, If the peace-loving forces Are flown into the war terrains, If the provocative elements Are disciplined to uphold peace, If the promoters of suppression Are cured by the potion of love, If the innocent victims of war Are treated with humane concern, If the conspirators of conflicts Are persuaded to desist from wars, Will there be any crisis or any scope For enmity to exist amongst humans? Won’t there be enough space for hope To expect, a hope-enhanced tomorrow; To adorn the Global Harmony Day In a harmonious civilization, everyday.

Humans Are Me | Humans are we We have but …. Different facets Different views, Different expressions, Different attitudes, Different cultures, Different religions, Different customs. As a whole, We are but humanity. Humans are we We have but …. Different principles, Different characteristics, Different aims, Different ranks, Different beliefs, Different costumes. As a whole We are but humanity. Humans are we With decisive knowledge To know what is what … What is good? What is bad? What is just? What is unjust? What is humane? What is inhumane? What is love? What is hatred? | What is constructive? What is destructive? What is life? What is death? Yes, as a whole We are more intelligent Than all other living beings. But, with selfish motives With selfish views, With selfish requisites, With selfish attitudes, We become aggressive Instead of supportive. Ego-bloated …. We create hatred We create conflicts We support the affluent We support the powerful We ignore the starving lot We ignore our co-humans. In the alarming situation Can’t we keep aloof … From the selfish, ‘I’ and ‘mine’ And give a new lease of life To the depleting human values To rest assured in “PEACE”. -Dr. T.

The storm of agony Uproot my dreams And crash-lands my aspirations In the mire of dejection As if I am an accursed orphan The delicate childhood Is ruthlessly crushed By inhumane attitude; While day –to-day life Merely remain a mirage. In search of kind adoring hearts To quench not only hunger But the thirst of love too Sleepless at night, I day-dream. We witnessed aggressions We came across conflicts We viewed what brutality is We faced the brunt of wars. Yet, we speak of love and peace, Talk of civilized approach, Boast of being humane, Above all, we act too smart With the ‘Universal Peace’ slogan. Oh human ! How come…? When we intently ignore To give minimum priority To orphans and street children Yes, How come…? How can we justify ourselves With mere words, devoid of action. June 20, 2009 Poetically Yours Dr. T. Ashok Chakravarthy, Litt.D H.No. 16-2-836/L, Plot-39 Madhavnagar, Saidabad HYDERABAD - 500 059 [AP] INDIA www.apoetsconcern.blogspot.com -------------------------------- Dear Tholana, I am not a poet, but your poem ‘CAN WE JUSTIFY OURSELVES’ touches me deeply, regarding the plight of all of the children of the earth, but more urgently, those in nations whose leaders consider it to be appropriate to threaten their neighbors with the ultimate devastation, that which is almost incomprehensibly cruel, death by radiation sickness, which touches all who are in proximity to nuclear detonations planned, in theory, to teach their enemies "a lesson." The only thing it teaches children is fear, fear of their own leaders. What child is made to feel more secure by knowing that other children will die horrible deaths because ones own protectors are able to justify civilian casualties in the millions? An Internet brings this reality home, inescapably present in the minds of children throughout the world, no longer an adult realization, only. In Iran, in Korea, in Israel, the silent killer is fear, not of enemies, but of the intransigence of those who say they are committed to the lives of their people, but their true commitment is to the suffocation of their so-called enemies, by whatever means are available, including a threat of nuclear annihilation. Children are dying in Iran for opposing the insanity of leaders, including clerics, who insist on developing the nuclear option. Children are starving to death in the northern half of Korea, for the insistence of their leaders to use dwindling resources to develop the nuclear option. Children in Israel are dying spiritual deaths for the insistence of their leaders to exact, not just "an eye for an eye," but body counts many times over. What Jewish child can take comfort in such retaliations without losing part of their own humanity? It is not adults who will decide the future of humankind. Youth are beginning to shape their own destiny. Children are on the march. They will bring their leaders to accounts. It began in Gdansk, Poland, twenty years ago, in a movement called Solidarity. Youth will no longer accept, in quiet acquiescence, the fate handed to them by cynical politicians and spiritless clerics. They are finding their Voice in reply to Fallen Leaders who were not afraid to speak out against the indignities forced on them when they dared to challenge irrational actions of their governments. We are not the models for these youth to follow, for we were once able to challenge the duplicities of our governments, and may have tried, but ultimately failed. Now it's their turn. We can help, but we can't lead. It is no longer our fight. Justice, equality and harmony cannot be won on battlefields or by using threats and intimidation, but through compassion for those who are weaker than ourselves, recognizing our common humanity, working together to discover and attain shared goals. "Have I not lost my enemy in making him my friend?' attributed to Abraham Lincoln, when criticized for being kind to those who opposed him. We can encourage young people to do what we failed to do: "make" Peace. Respectfully, Martha Ross DeWitt, PhD, Sociologist and Political Analyst. 21/06/09 ----------------------------------------------------
Poems for June 1 - Protection and Children Priority Day - on the Harmonious Era Calendar of Global Harmony Association OATH on HUMANITY The love-craving looks of those rendered orphans The shattering cries of children seeking protection For a fist of food, for a ray of love the wait goes on Every moment of their budding life is but uncertain. Caught in the barbed cage of the terrifying fate O innocent children, where’s the way to sneak out? Your misty eyes, speak of the sufferings untold But who’s there to unshackle the inhuman hold? We boast of civilization, call it our global stature But who cares who, is an agitate question to ponder, Were the days of the uncivilized past a bit better? Than the present hi-tech boast, selfish in nature. Who is there to spare time or listen to your call? Oh pitiable ones, who’s there to protect you all? Day in and day out you are battered, unmerciful A humiliating curse that may prove dear to us all. Lives entangled in the webs of starvation and death Almost at the fag-end, who can avert their last breath? Now at least, a ray of mercy should strike our hearts? Humans are we, is not mercy at a corner of our heart. How painful if a budding flower is plucked forcibly Likewise are the lives of children abused physically, We should ensure, by taking a “oath on humanity” To safeguard children from injustice and brutality. ---------------------------------------------------------- A RAGPICKER’S PLIGHT To survive in this merciless world He wanders, begging on the streets; Neither a source to rely at least To feel the cosy childhood glitters, Nor a mercy-filled parental heart To be blessed with fondling memories. Sleeping in wrapped-up newspapers Even in adverse weather conditions He literally lives on the filthy streets With torn-out rags, deep sunk eyes Spending life’s traumatic moments Under the eagle-eyed street lights Which fail to awaken humane spirit. Midst the rubbish heaps, at times At times under the motorway bridge He’s a society deserted street child Abused and left as an accursed one. Oh God! His immature life is tragic Premature he may end up perhaps, Alas, who’s there to focus on his plight Who’s there to balm his wounded heart? To put in motion a never-ending fight For the protection of children’s rights, Who would but become the leading light Giving priority to the heart-jerking plights. Let such thoughts of social consciousness Sprout in the soil of every human heart In the busy world, in our busy schedule, Cannot we spare a few of our moments To implant and impart a cause of concern For “protection and priority for children”. ------------------------------------------------------ 30/05/08

JURAMENTO DE HUMANIDAD (Oath on Humanity - Wonderful Poem byTholana Ashok Chakravarthy- Translation in Spanish-by S.Roberts)
Las suplicantesmiradas devueltas deaquellos huérfanos los gritos quebrados de niños que buscanprotección Porun puñado de alimento, por un rayo de amor ellos esperan ir Cada momento de sus vidases demasiado incierto.
Atrapados en una jaula de púas de un destino aterrador Oh niños inocentes, dónde esta elcaminopara salir? Sus ojos húmedos, habla desufrimientos indecibles, pero quién está allí para desencadenar el asimiento inhumano?
Nos jactamos de civilización, es llamada nuestra estatura global, pero quién se preocupa de quién, es unapregunta agitada para meditar Eran los días del pasado incivilizado un poco mejor? Que la jactanciosa hola-tecnología presente, egoísta en naturaleza.
¿Quién está allí al rato libre o para escuchar su llamado? ¿Ah lastimosos, quiénes están allí para protegerlos? El día y en el día haciausted es aporreado, despiadado Unahumillantemaldición que puede probarqueridos a todos?
¿Vidas enredadas en los webs de hambre y muerte Casi en la faena-final,puede apartar su último aliento? ¿Ahora al menos, un rayo de piedad debería golpear nuestros corazones? Humanos somos, no espiedad en el rincón de nuestro corazón. Tan doloroso si una flor en ciernes es arrancada enérgicamente De la misma manera son las vidas de niños abusados físicamente, Nosotros deberíamos asegurar,tomando " un juramento de humanidad” Para salvaguardar a los niños de la injusticia y la brutalidad. 30/05/08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
How's the below poem, exclusively composed for the MOTHER'S DAY on 11th May, 2008:
========================================================================
THERE CANNOT BE There cannot be such a place
Safe enough than a mother’s lap,
There cannot be a love of such a sort
Than that of a mother’s loving heart,
There cannot be that much excuse
Than that of a mother’s pleasing nature,
There cannot be that much solace
Than that of a mother’s soothing words,
There cannot be such a caring glance
Than that of a mother’s assuring eyes,
There cannot be such a gentle touch
Than that of a mother’s caring hands,
There cannot be so deep a concern
Than that of a mother’s untiring alertness,
There cannot be more such contentment
Than that of a mother’s serene smile,
There cannot be a more grieving heart
Than that of a mother’s hurtful feelings,
There cannot be such a peace boundless
Than that of a mother’s fondling look,
There can never be such mercy unbound
Exception to God, than that of a MOTHER.

A RAY OF HOPE Deep down the memory lane Childhood, when peeps out, I recollect bone-thin orphans Staring into the empty skies. What a misfortune, what a shame Really a blot on human civilization. Is the aspect of love and concern From out of ego-bloated hearts Got evaporated once and for all Into the deep layers of selfishness. Ignoring the deprived children, Leaving some to their own fate, Forcing some to starve and die; What contentment is derived? In ignoring their dismal plight. The pitiable, orphaned children Despite scared to live without love Yearn to somehow survive … For death looks ferocious to them. The lusterless deep sunk eyes, Speak volumes of agonizing abuse, The heart-breaking ignorant stance, Reveal the pounded childish hearts, Betwixt shores of survival and death Imagine the torture and torment That kills them almost every moment. O Lord ! Shower a bit of your mercy To fill the dark lives with a ray of hope. ------------------------------------------------- Μια ΑΚΤΙΝΑ ΕΛΠΙΔΑΣ
Βαθεία μέσα στα μύχια της μνήμης των παιδικών χρόνων, όταν κρυφοκοιττάζω, αναπολώ τα λεπτο-κόκκαλα ορφανά να κοιτάζουν μέσ΄ τους άδειους ουρανούς.
Τι ατυχία, τι ντροπή
Πράγματι μιά μελανή κηλίδα στον ανθρώπινο πολιτισμό.
Είναι άποψη αγάπης και ενδιαφέροντος
απο τις εγωκεντρικές καρδιές
που εξανεμίζονται μια για πάντα
στα βάθη του εγωισμού.
Αδιαφορώνταςγια τα στερημένα παιδιά,
Εγκαταλείποντάς τα στη μοίρα τους,
Υποχρεώνοντας τα στην λιμοκτονία και το θάνατο,
Ποιά είναι η ικανοποίηση απ΄αυτά; Αδιαφορώντας για την μελαγχολική τους δοκιμασία.
Τα αξιοθρήνητα, ορφανά παιδιά,
πέραν του φόβου να ζούν δίχως αγάπη
επιζητούν κάποιον τρόπο να επιζήσουν..... Ο θάνατος τους φαίνεται άγριος.
Τα βαθυσκότεινα μάτια τους,
μαρτυρούν αμέτρητες βασανιστικές κακοποιήσεις,
Η σπαραξικάρδια αδαής στάση,
αποκαλύπτει τις σφυροκοπημένες παιδικές καρδιές,
στις ακτές επιβίωσης και θανάτου του Μπετβίξτ
φανταστείτε τα βασανιστήρια και τα μαρτύρια
που τα θανατώνουν κάθε στιγμή.
Ω Θεέ! Χάρισε λίγο απο το έλεός Σου
να γεμίσεις τις σκοτεινές ζωές με μια ακτίνα ελπίδας. “A RAY OF HOPE” Translation from English into Greeks By Takis Ioannidis November 29, 2007 --------------------------------------------------- THE RIPE TIME Wherever harmony is nourished Peace in abundance has flourished, Irrespective of caste, religion or race Pigeons of peace lovingly adorn the skies. Every dawn looks a peaceful marvel Every place resembles a delightful dazzle; The pleasing nature and beautiful birds Enthrall our hearts with ever-new bonds. Neither an iota of hatred nor any grudge The iota of enmity, with harmony merge, Clouds of distrust disappear out of sight Assuring peace and upholding human rights. The hours of distrust become trust-worthy New dawns usher, with pleasures-worthy, With hand in hand, time is ripe to sow The most sought-after seeds of peace, now. Plowing the very soil of harmonious living Individual mind, if made fertile and loving The catastrophic clouds of impending wars Forever can be defaced of the war-torn scars. -------------------------------------------------- Harmoniously THOLANA Poetically Yours Dr. T.

WHERE THERE IS PEACE
Where there is amity, there is delight Where there is harmony, there is light, From the dark phase, we have to budge ahead Leaving the conflict phase, we have to go ahead The pigeons of peace should we release The necessity of peace should we realize, Life is short, deny a scope to conflicts Eternal is love, offer a place for TRUST. Where there is amity, there is delight Where there is harmony, there is light Citizens, universal citizens are we all We should uphold human ethics and morals, Be a leading light to those groping in the dark May the deprived lives enjoy peace sparks. Where there is amity, there is delight Where there is harmony, there is light Ashamed, the clouds of war should disperse Mankind be freed from the conflicts’ curse, Where there is amity, there is delight Where there is harmony, there is light.

Dear Peace Promoter/s PEACE IS OUR RIGHT – UNITY IS OUR MIGHT As a promoter of the concept of UNIVERSAL PEACE & BROTHERHOOD THROUGH POETRY, I feel it a blessing to come across people / organizations such as yours. You are the leading-light of PEACE without any frontiers, and I am one among the pigeons of peace amongst you. A Poet and Review Writer, I have been persistently making my efforts for a PEACE UNIVERSALITY by way of spreading the message of PEACE THROUGH POETRY. In this quest and in view of the forthcoming UN International Day Of Peace on 21st September, I furnish hereunder THREE of my recently composed PEACE poems meant for that particular day, occasion and purpose. As pigeons of peace or say emissaries of peace, we all belong to one family; with a sole aim and objective for UNIVERSAL PEACE. LET PEACE PREVAIL on THIS UNIVERSE LET THE UNIVERSE SING A PEACE VERSE Your precious comments / views on the peace poems are MOST WELCOME. Anticipating your whole-hearted COOPERATION in spreading the message of PEACE. ====================================================== STRENGTH IN UNITY The haunting nightmares and sequences That the ruinous wars often result in, Challenge us with dire consequences To ignore or support co-human insults. The deep pain and the haunting sorrow That emerges from the ensuing conflicts, Challenge humankind with a tomorrow Wherein, an ocean of miseries reflects. By upholding and fortifying ‘peace’ We should challenge the arch-rivals, By demonstrating the might of peace We should prove the power of our will. The challenges of frequent conflicts We should conquer with weapons of peace, The challenges of revenge and rifts We can raze with harmony and peace. The hostile and ruthless calls for war With our insightful wit, should we shun; Transforming thoughts into peace-showers To fortify a spirited unity that wins. Violence should not provide us a scope To counter it with identical response, Consequences should not deter the hopes To desist us from establishing peace. ------------------------------------------------- THE SEEDS OF PEACE O Peace! Before you we humbly bow Harmonious seeds we aspire to sow, On mankind you have steadfast trust Is it but possible to keep that intact? The dominating and conflicting trends Ominously are they threatening mankind, They are but the hurdles on peace paths Whoever dares to tread, confronts death. The scars of fear, death and destruction Taught us to desist from any provocation, Unmindful yet, we prefer to be provocative, The egoistic fire is alluringly destructive. When humans suffer the pangs of death, Children forced to face starvation deaths, Mothers are snatched of their dear ones, Whom should we blame? Please imagine. O Peace! Before you we humbly bow Harmonious seeds we aspire to sow, But if aggression ploughs with violence Show us, how to sow the seeds of peace? ------------------------------------------------ A SPACE FOR HOPE If the blissful flags of peace Are tagged to the cries of war, If the pigeons of peace Are freed in the war-torn skies, If the peace-loving forces Are flown into the war terrains, If the provocative elements Are disciplined to uphold peace, If the promoters of suppression Are cured by the potion of love, If the innocent victims of war Are treated with love and concern, If the conspirators of conflicts Are persuaded to desist from wars, Will there be a crisis or a scope For enmity to exist amongst humans? Won’t there be a space for hope To expect a hope-enhanced tomorrow. From the dark shackles of egoism Peace would liberate the humankind, Who can deny the bliss of peace Once pleasure is derived out of it? What we seek is public domination What we lack is true dedication, If both are effectively curtailed Peace victorious shall we herald; It conquers and occupies the world Laying flowery paths in every heart Forget not, this option is the best. ------------------------------ Poetically Yours Dr. T. Ashok Chakravarthy, Litt.D www.poetryofpeacewings.com 24/09/07 --------------------------------------
THOLANA Ashok Chakravarthy IS THERE THE SPIRIT…. The seeds of mistrust, into hatred sprout And pave way for several global conflicts, The priceless peace-struggles and sacrifices Adorned with the spirit of patriotic fires, Seem to slowly erase from human memory Making us vulnerable, once again to slavery. Is there the true spirit of humanity now? On the paths to mislead the humane light We humans are vying to show our might, The poor and the weak are made scapegoats Like playful pawns their lives at bay are kept; Tears and turmoil’s always hunt their lives But who shows concern or hear their pleas. Is there the true spirit of humanity now? The shackles of past slavery and sufferings Raise their hoods to ignite the traumatic stirrings; While the dominating trend of ego and riches Relentlessly pound to create human breaches, Will the morals of humanity get lost forever...? This alarming question keeps pricking with fear. Is there the spirit of true humanity now? With best wishes to one and all Harmoniously THOLANA Ashok Chakravarthy 14/07/07 ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Members Warm wishes to John McConnell, the Earth Day Founder and his all out efforts seeking Global Attention for the Equinox Earth Day.I pray and wish, John McConnell's global effort to foster peace, justice andEarth Care will usher in a new beginning for the human adventure... and we all are bound to share the magnanimous effort.I feel the below poem suits the EARTH DAY : COME OUT When the nature beautiful Unfolds the dawn delightful Spell-bound, our eyes blissful Absorb the dawn mirthful. In the pleasant atmosphere Leaving all pains and fears Thoughts fly high and afar Away from life’s routine chore. Held in a self-imposed exile Suffering un-necessary travails, For sure, any life is of no avail Unless one breaks such shackles. A call for peace, a cry for peace An appeal for harmonious bliss; That shows a love-embraced face Either projecting a religion or race. Let us learn harmonious lesson Nature imparts without hesitation, The element of love and affection Will change this world’s direction. Dwell not in an exile that’s deviating Love for world creatures is most exciting, Come out of the garb of selfishness Know, in love dwells true humaneness. Harmoniously THOLANA Ashok Chakravarthy 03/07/07 --------------------------------------------------- Gateway to Friendship and non-violence My statement for Harmonious Era Calendar In this present phase of conflicts between the peoples, as a co-author of the Harmonious Era Calendar, it is the best choice to opt for 2nd of October as the universal date for the GATEWAY TO FRIENDSHIP AND NON-VIOLENCE’; so that the people of India and Pakistan in particular and rest of the world in general would make intimate moves to get acquainted with the concept of ‘LOVE AND AMITY’.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi was a symbol of PEACE and simplicity, philosopher of non-violence, who played an influential role in imparting and implanting UNIVERSAL PEACE through non-violence. Following his footsteps, with a broad-minded gesture of goodwill and inspiration, people should come forward to choose PEACE as the ultimate weapon that can eliminate conflicts and succeed in molding the war-torn paths with love and compassion. Why not the adamant attitude and the feelings of aggression get erased from the deep caverns of human mind and transmit humane concern in every heart?Ultimately, let the concept of Friendship and Non-violence break the shackles of the enslaved and deprived lot and douse the universe with love and peace, so that the warmth of friendship and joy reflect in every heart and every thought of mankind.Hope, this poem imparts the urge for peace, where dwells within, the light of eternal delight: BOND OF LOVE Place, let us place Place the flowers of Peace On the sacred soil Of our holy Mother Earth. Thirsting for peace Let us take an oath together To heal the bleeding wounds Caused by mistrust and conflicts. Lo ! Why not? Yes, why not? Why not we aspire to remove, Remove the barriers of caste, Remove the barriers of hate, Remove the barriers of creed, Remove the barriers of greed, Remove the barriers of religion, Remove the barriers of rebellion, Remove the barriers of disputes, Remove the barriers of disparities, And weave the bond of LOVE; The ultimate objective of which… Is to reach the gateway of peace Where exists, love and amity. 11/05/07 ------------------------------------------------------------- Poems Introduction Dear Leo Semashko GOOD MORNING In commemoration of the Global Harmony Day on June 21, 2006, as a Poet-Essayist-Review writer, I furnish hereunder FIVE [5] of my recently composed poems on Global Peace and Social Harmony, with an earnest request to impart the same to whichever source available.

Promise me a pitcher of water I shall quench the thirst of needy. Promise me a bowl of food I shall feed the starving orphans. Promise me a roll of cloth I shall wrap the poorest of poor. Promise me a place of shelter I shall provide shelter to the homeless. But ….. Do not promise identities of“hatred” ‘cause we find them any where. Do not promise identities of“conflicts” ‘cause we are scared of their ferocity. Do not promise identities of“destruction” ‘cause we have experienced their rage. But, Lo responsible citizens of the universe Let us pledge for “Love and Peace” Which forever gives a lasting solution; Where the flags of trust and peace Stand as IDENTITIES of human affection. -----------------------------------------------------
WE ARE HERE ……
Bravo! O peace keeping forces Bravo! O peace loving warriors, Your daredevil fighting spirit, Your gushing patriotic instinct; Yes, oh sons of great mother earth You aim to give humanity a breath Laying peace paths, secure and safe Sharing human concern and grief. Showing solidarity in times of need Staking lives without an iota of greed For universal peace, you readily vie For universal cause, you live and die. Warriors of your caliber if not born What would be the fate of the human? Hunting and crushing enemy’s domain Who can guard us, wiping rival demons? Very soon, brimming with joys Rivers shall flow with ripples of joy, Brimming with joy, nature would glow The breeze of peace, soon shall follow. Unless we understand and act together Peace motives cannot be attained forever. Bravo! Lo peace keeping forces Bravo! Lo peace loving warriors, Mankind, forever salutes your martyrdom Safe are we now, ‘cause of your patriotism. ------------------------------------------------
DISCOVER WISDOM
Seek the light of God To share the identity of love Seek the light of love To share the identity of faith Seek the light of faith To share the identity of peace Seek the light of Peace To share the identity of passion Seek the path of passion To discover the identity of salvation. Identify the human instinct within To awaken without any hindrance, Weed-out the obstacles of wisdom A glow supreme springs in the heart. The doors of wisdom shall unlock, Where, peace-filled thoughts flock. Between the shores of life and death Let the amorous spirit stay eternal; Beware, douse it not for selfish ends To lose the sparkle of wisdom, forever. Yes, explore to identity the God merciful A shaft of light shall enlighten your soul. ----------------------------------------------
GIVE “PEACE” A CHANCE
The fires of death and hatred, dance Re-emerging with surging vengeance For some, death is a form of martyrdom Self-imposed for faking a religious idiom. The smeared inner-self should change The tendency of fanaticism should change Given a chance, “Peace” forever shall stay The world can view a sea change anyway. With the backing of the emissaries of trust The seeds of love shall hasten to sprout. The petals of faith shall clap with glee Peace and prosperity, every nation shall see. The root-cause of evil, hatred and starvation The hassles of growth, hate and aggression, When both are resisted by self-motivation Planet earth becomes an abode of heaven. Instead of destruction, we witness growth Instead of hatred, we get love and warmth. The clouds of passion shall shower trust The winds of change shall blow any mistrust. Even if the fires of death and hatred, dance Yes, let’s opt to give “Peace” another chance. ------------------------------------------------
SEEKING LOVE
It seems, the looming death shadows Unmindful of the pathetic plight Still haunt the bone-sucked lives Challenging the unity of human might. The doors of mercy in our hearts Even now, if fail to shower mercy And if still we immerse in own delights Mankind, forever should feel guilty. Into their pity-filled eyes, stare please Seeking love and your warm embrace Their despair, yes, would totally erase If we express our solidarity and grace. We cannot even imagine the plight Falling upon our near and dear ones If ignoring in dire need is simply right No doubt, we are simply inhumane. --------------------------- Dear Tholana, Thanks for your support of the Global Harmony Day and your five remarkable poems. I could publish them on our site on the page " 4-4-1. Indian poetry for harmonious peace" but only autumn, so I am very much engaged the coming month, and then I leave approximately for two months. But I would like to include your email in the list of our dispatch, that you were familiar with events on our site. I also very much liked to read your opinion about our Harmony Calendar and Address to youth on our dialogic page. We would be happy to cooperate with you for the sake of peace, harmony and priority of children. Best harmony wishes for your and children, Leo Dr Leo Semashko ISSR, IFLAC Russia and Website www.peacefromharmony.org Director 22/06/06 -----------------------
