A few days
back, I remembered a poem I was taught in school in Marathi. I had loved it
back then too and now I realize the core meaning of this. The poet tells us to
come together and help break our old, obsolete beliefs and superstitions. The
poet calls us to build a new society with new thoughts and ambitions that will
take humanity back to glory.
Patharvat - Amar Sheikh
Junaat imala zala saara
Paduni taaka deuni dhakka
Aaj imarat junaat zali
Jeev akaran martil khali
Mhanuni adhi ya
Padun taka
Maara haka jamva loka
Lokashakticha sadhuni moka
Padun taaka
Aanik bandha navi imarat
Patharvat me navya yugatil ahech sobat
Asen jari me adnya rangada
Ek dagad tari ghadu dya re ya majhya hatuni
Ek channicha ek ghaav tari basudya re ya dagadavari
Manavteche navin mandir
Yethe banddha ya jagevar
Padun taka deuni dhakka
