Om shri shaneeshwaraaya namaha ! Om shri shaneeshwaraaya namaha ! Om shri shaneeshwaraaya namaha !
On a Saturday and ode and prayer to Shani nakshatra, Shani bhagwan .. the planet star and God of Saturday …
They say the Shani nakshatra is a strong and powerful astrological, mythical, belief .. its God’s having immense powers of strong affection, love, drastic change and an equal power to destruct .. and so an ode and prayer to them all that can cause destruction, to look upon us with compassion and care and protect us from evil and disaster …
How the human race has been enveloped with all that is unknown, into belief of such proportions that we seek protection from the ill effects of it. We are quick to put the cause and reason for something that may have gone wrong, to the misplaced stars, to the wrath of the Heaven’s, to an entity that has been pressured in to annoyance. We have no answers, so we have no reason and cause, and so we have dependence on unknown forces of power and superiority .. we are just being human … because we are human and nothing more .. when you have nothing more you seek the divine for reassurance, in prayer, in want and in protection ..
And how strong our beliefs or at least the strength of our commitment to it - unknown, unseen, yet there in us … we are only human ..
Through the centuries of the emergence of the human form, is there any wonder when and why and how this phenomena took shape ? What did those early creations of nature think when someone of trusted wisdom spelt out the reason ? How did the pursuance of their philosophy and thought gain weight ? And how then did it diversify into religion and how then into various strong tributaries of it, followed loved and practiced through the millenniums of existence. What inspired the construct of words thoughts, Sholkas, Gurubani, Mantras, Sermons, preachings from Islam and the Quran … indeed the most important vocabulary of teachings of purity and godliness ?
And what divine powers they were that gave us all this .. some finite, some delivered from the heaven’s, and some through great minds of Saints and Priests and Maulvis and Pandits and so many more … they formed our lives, our answers to unanswered questions .. they guided us and still do through all our travails and discomforts .. through good times and bad … through the times of our life and through the times of when we leave life and travel into another ..
And as I join the cremation of Pran Saheb at an electric crematorium, many thoughts rush through the mind as when I sit by myself and among the visuals of his contribution as an artist and human …
That is all that shall remain with us … for, his human presence was just reduced to the electric flames inside a container, where after some time the ashes shall be removed and given reverence …
All those that pass away shall be reduced to such - some in the ash dust of the elements where we emerged from, some immersed deep into the large crevasses of the earth … earth to earth dust to dust … a circle complete ..
Yet … the circle of the wheel still in motion …
