GENESIS OF UTKAL BRAHMINS.

Surname, Caste & Creed, and Self-Pride: Names and Surnames. On this earth, where names are born, A title given, love sworn or scorn, A mark of place, a seal to bind— A legacy we leave behind. Surnames rise like rugged peaks, Voices of clans, the ancient speaks. In lines and letters etched with pride, The world decides, who stands, who hides. Yet walls of stone these names become, To guard, to block, to silence some. These syllables, like swords and shields, They carve out pain; they build, they yield. Between the names, a chasm grows, Of justice lost and honor owed. For names can burn or mend the soul, Or lock it in a bounded role. So rise, unmarked by name or kin, Beyond the walls that keep us in. With spirit freed from bonds and claims, We soar beyond the weight of names. What’s left is pure—a soul set free, Beyond the binds of blood to be. (English-and-Hindi version:-) The soul is the eternal essence of a person; when a person dies, it is the body that perishes, not the soul. Th...

Forgotten Light God truly exists, yet we cannot see, A presence lost like waves to the sea. We search for signs, we strain to hear, Yet silence answers, distant and clear. Once close, we knew that voice so well, A warmth within, a holy spell. But somewhere along the hurried way, We lost our path; we drifted away. In endless noise, we drowned His call, Forgot His love, ignored it all. Wrapped in the world, we turned our face, Leaving behind that sacred grace. But still He waits, a constant light, Beyond our reach, yet burning bright. A love that lingers, patient and true, Waiting for us to remember anew. If we pause, in silence, in prayer, We’ll find that God was always there. Not lost, but near, like breath, like air— A forgotten truth, a whispered care. Does God truly exist? If God exists, is there any proof or reasoning to support His existence? What is the path to realizing God? Many people harbor curiosity, desire for knowledge, questions, and wonder about a fundamental question: ...

Sins & Virtue    Virtue, a light that lifts us high, A quiet grace beneath the sky. It guards our path, our dreams, our fate, And keeps us steady, strong, and straight. Sins weigh us down with stress and strain, Leaving marks, a darkened stain. But virtue heals, so pure and bright, Like summer rain in morning light. So pause and ponder, choose what’s right— The road of virtue, clear and bright, Or tempting vice that may entice— The choice is yours: virtue or vice. For in each choice, our soul will sway, And in our steps, our fate will lay. In balance held, the heart shall see The power of choice to set it free. English-and-Hindi version:- Virtue and Sin:   Any action, thought, or behavior that goes against divine law is considered a sin, while any action, thought, or behavior that aligns with divine law is regarded as a virtue. Virtue and sin are fundamental concepts that have significantly influenced human morality, behavior, and spirituality throughout history. A vi...

Brahmin &  Sandhya The Brahmin stands, a sacred tree, Its roots enwrapped in mystery. The Sandhya, rooted firm below, Feeds life and strength that upward grow. From roots, the Vedic truths ascend, In branches spreading without end, And leaves, like duties we uphold, In ancient whispers, truths retold. Should Sandhya, source of life and prayer, Be left alone, deprived of care, The branches might still touch the skies, But soon would wither, fade, and die. Guard well the root, respect its place, Its quiet strength, its silent grace, For through its power, the branches rise, And leaves find purpose under skies. The renowned scriptures emphasize repeatedly. " विप्रो वृक्षस्तस्य मूलं च सन्ध्या वेदः शाखा धर्म कर्माणि पत्रम् | तस्मात्मूलं यत्नतो रक्षणीयं छिन्ने मूले नैव शाखा न पत्रम् ॥ ब्राह्मण एक वृक्ष के समान है। उसकी जड़ संध्या है , वेद उसकी शाखाएं हैं, और धर्मकार्य (सदाचार और धार्मिक कर्म) उसके पत्ते हैं। इसलिए, पूरी कोशिश करके उसकी जड़ की रक्षा करनी चाहिए, क्योंकि जड़ कट जाने पर...
