The Happy Atheist - Haiku (5-7-5)

Punish the sinner!
How dare he enjoy this life?
Guilty of pleasure...

© Mandar Jayant Kokatay

Let us not equate happiness with sin. Someone may not worship God and yet be religious. The path to a holy life is often construed as a difficult one full of hardships and someone who enjoys his daily life is construed as a sinner.The key to a fulfilling life would be to find happiness in all that we do - first be happy ourselves and then spread that happiness all over!

Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5)

Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5) Fighting till the end Chose our country over life Eternal hero! © Mandar Jayant Kokatay It is since 1971 that a flame which is often known as Amar Jawan Jyoti (or the flame of the immortal soldier) is continuously burning under the shrine of India Gate at New Delhi, the capital of India.  It is a structure consisting of black marble plinth, with reversed rifle, capped by war helmet, bound by four urns, each with the permanent flame. It serves as India’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Amar Jawan Jyoti is manned round the clock by soldiers drawn from the three services of the Indian armed forces. Wreaths are placed at the Amar Jawan Jyoti on Vijay Diwas, and on 26 January, by the Prime Minister of India, Chiefs of Armed Forces, and other dignitaries. More recently, an online portal has been launched by our veterans to honour the Martyrs. You can visit it at :-   https://honourpoint.faujipoint.com

Nirvana - Self enlightenment (Haiku-5-7-5)  No craving to speak Neither desire to listen Cherish this silence © Mandar Jayant Kokatay Note : The word 'Nirvana' has many meanings in different languages and cultures. In the Buddhist context nirvana refers to the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished. [ 2] In Hindu philosophy, it is the union with the divine ground of existence Brahman (Supreme Being) and the experience of blissful egolessness. Gautam Buddha attained 'Nirvana' while sitting under a Bodhi tree in Gaya, Bihar, India. Nirvana in Sanskrit literally means "blown out", as in a candle. Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven. In Hinduism and Buddhism, nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person's individual desires and suffering go away.
