The 'Aah!' of Nature.... A True Vision!

         ‘To be interested in what one does, one should try to do it better and better’.

                                                                                                                  -The Mother

With this message of The Sweet Mother, I am back again to express myself. It’s a trial of penning down my thoughts in my mother tongue ODIA. Inspite of knowing the limitations of the language, I would prefer to present it in its original form rather than translating it… with a hope that it could atleast reach to some people who know ODIA  rather than lying in my diary.

Here’s a precap of the writing where I have tried to jot down a brief sketch of it in English. What is Nature? What is hidden within her?

-To perceive- in the animals, plants, growing life and even in stones………………….

-To understand- the hidden but vibrant energy, the infinite moods and expressions of Nature.............. 
It’s a trial of coming closer to her through rocks, trees, animals, birds, the sun, the moon, the rain, the wind and finally to have a clear vision of the hidden Goddess, the Divine Presence by visiting a place very close to nature with ethereal beauty.

  It’s PANGOT-  A small paradise of nature lovers. A village with more resorts and less houses. Its just 15 km away from Nainital, where you can either lie soaking in the sun or do some vigorous walking in the dense oak and rhododendron forest. And for company, you have feathered species in many hues and sizes. It’s a great destination for birders and trekkers.

Last but not the least, I would like to share a poem on Pangot very beautifully written by my 12 year old- (Shreyas Aatman) a year back.

PANGOT, a land of tranquillity-     

With sky-scraping mountains, And beautiful trees,

With floating clouds, And enthusiastic wildlife. (1)        

            

With rolling rocks,  And flooding raindrops,

With blazing sun, And ruling fog. (2)

               

With athletic monkeys,  And paragliding birds,

With barking deers, And escaped animals from Jim Corbett. (3)

With hard working people, And brave women,

With furry pets, And loving children. (4)

                

With pure air, And flowing streams,                             

With bright moon & stars, And dense forest trekking. (5)

With smiling big days, And silent small nights,

With mind blowing sights, And serves as nature lovers’ delight !! (6)

Here it begins…………..

PANGOT ra sei kichhi dina, Jahna o mo mana…………………………               

      
                       
Jaanuchhi mun bhul karuchhi. Hele kana karibi? Aji ra e shanta sandhya… laguchhi sate jemiti mote jaabudi dharuchhi. Kahuchhi kana karuchhu tu? Emiti chupchaap basichhu kahinki? Tu paraa prakruti ra kolare nijaku hajeyi debaa ku chaahunthilu? Deergha pratikshyaa pare  nijaku mora ete nikatare paai bi, kichhi najanaai, mote chupchaap khaali nirekhi chaalichhu? Aa… kalama munare gaara keitaa taani de….. bukure mora bhaari dei jaa to manara kathaa keipada…. Pheribaara pratishruti ra ta aashaa nahin, hele mo santaana rupare sambodhana saha souhaarddyapoorna bhaabaprabanataa tikie bi kana to tharu aashaa kari paribini??? Mana ta bhinna hoigalaa. Eka ananya uddeepanaa anubhaba kali, PANGOT aagamana ra thik sei prathama sandhyaa bhali. Bhaababyakta karibaaku bhaabu bhaabu rahani ra truteeya dibasa shesha hebaaku basilaani. Srikrishna o Shreyas baahaara ku bulibaaku chaali gale. Kaagaja abhaaba ru chupchaap Shreyas ra ei priya diary ti kaadhi sethire lekhibaaku aarambha kari deli…..                                         

                                                           

Poorba ru kichhi taa paahaada dekhi baara abhijnataa achhi. Kintu ethara laagila, Mun pruthibee ra keun ajanaa ilaakaa ku aasi jaichhi….. manaba sabhyataa ra keun eka uttama udaaharana ra ilaakaa. Jeunthi kounasi prakaara pradooshana naahin. ‘prakruti hin nijara o nije hin prakruti ra’- Ei manobhaaba nei manisha banchi chaalichhi. Krutrimataa parjyaabarana re kimbaa manisha mana ki karma, kounasi ti re naahin. Manisha ethi prakruti ra bhaabaabesha re bandhaa.

                             

Jahna luchakaali khele baadala adhuaala re hasi hasi jyochhanaa buni…… Bidyut ra aalua dheemaa padijaae taa roopeli jyochhanaa saamnaa re…. Halukaa badala hasi hasi bhaasi buluthaae, nija ichhaa re kharaa re paradaa pakaa uthaa karu karu bele bele samagra ilaakaa ku poornatah dhoomrayita kari die. Mane heu thaae pine o oak brukhshya ra sabujima jangalee jeebajantu tathaa rangabirangee bibhinna kisama ra pakshee maananku nija kola re basaa kari jeebana upabhoga karibaa ku aajeebana swaagata kari chaalichhi. Seithi paain ta e sthaana ra pakshee kalaraba parjyatakanku aakarshita kare. Aau sei rangabirangee pakshee maane nijara saundarjya re paahaadi gaan ti ra shobhaa manomughdakara kari dianti.

                                                          

Kichhi dura paahaadi raastaa re chalilaa pare janaa padilaa, ethikaara jangalee gumphaa o kuteera aadi pracheena kaala re Sadhu Santhanka saadhanaa ra peethasthalee thilaa. Mane heuthilaa sei sthaana sabu ebe bi pabitrataa ra mantra uchchaarana karuchhanti o paahaada kola ra nadee, jharanaa aadi nija nirmalataa bala re samagra paribesha ku snigdha kari deuchhanti.                                                                                                                                                                        

Gaan ti shanta, saharee kolahala ru pura alagaa. Hata ganati parjyataka keitaanku chhadi dele gaan ra loka sankhyaa bi khub kam paahaadi lokankara kathina parishrama, nirbhikataa tathaa saralataa bishaya re aaga ru suni thili, janithili, kintu ebe hrudayangama kali, paahaadi jangala re nije ghuri bulibaa samaya re…….. Ki saahasee o parishramee manisha emaane! Aaji sakaale paahaada upare hale dhilaa Chapala o saree pindhaa sei ekaakinee naaree ti ku gacha re  chadhi daala sangraha karibaa samaya re jetebele mu dekhili chakita hoi rahi gali!!!

                                                  

Bartamana sandhyaa nain aasilaani. Paahaada re dina sabu bada o raati khub saana. Soorjyodaya jete sheeghra hue surjyaasta setiki deri re hue, han!!! Ebe aama resort ra rakshyanaabekshyanakaaree uncle paahaada aadhuaala ru hasi hasi uin aasu thiba poonein jahna ku ‘chandramaa’ kahi jete bele dekheile samaste doudile taaku camera re toli nebaa paain….

Mane helaa sate jemiti jahna ti kanei kanei hasuchhi aau baadala saha puni luchakaali khela aarambha kari dei chhi mora PANGOT aagamana ra sei prathama sandhyaa pari…. Taaku aneka samaya nirikhyana karibaa pare bi jaani paaru na thili PANGOT ra sei sandhyaa re sie mo mana raaija re taa roopeli jyochhanaa buni mora swaagata kari thilaa ki janma janmaantara paain  pratisandhyaa taa aagamana ra baata chaahin rahi baara pratishruti mo thaaru maagi nei thilaa………………..

It’s just an attempt to find the ‘Aah!’ of Nature by developing a deeper inside and love for nature to visualize the Divine truth in it !!!
