  • News from Lakshmi Ashram Sanchar 119
    FRIENDS OF LAKSHMI ASHRAM Lone Poulsen, Praestehusene 6, 2620 Albertslund, DK Denmark Telephone +45 43961371 – e-mail: [email protected] Bank Account IBAN no: DK0330000003141861 Lakshmi Ashram’s homepage: http://lakshmiashram.dk NEWS FROM LAKSHMI ASHRAM SANCHAR 119 November 2013 Dear friends, Sanchar 119 is ready, and I think, it brings some very interesting articles. I hope you will enjoy reading them: A Life Sketch of Pant Ji – by Deepa Rana Facts about Sumitranandan Pant We All Smile and Laugh in the Same Language – by Megan Pociengel with editorial assistance from Lisa Anderson, USA A New Milestone in our Activities in Dhauladevi Block – by David Hopkins Winds of Change in the Udyog Mandir – by David Hopkins It still costs 1725 Danish kroner and the subscription 75 Danish kroner to be a sponsor (about 230 Euro and 10 Euro) = 1800 Danish kroner. Some people send money once a year, and others divide the amount during the year. Therefore we will put 75 kroner into the administration account the first time of the year, when we receive money from someone. This also applies if you send amounts that are not earmarked. So all will pay the same amount a year to be a member and receive the Sanchar. I assume one membership per household, club, society etc., unless otherwise instructed. We use very little money for administration, and the money is sent directly from our bank to the Ashram’s bank in Kausani, so no money will be lost – only bank charges. The surplus from the administration account will of course be sent to Lakshmi Ashram.

  • Jaishankar Prasad - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Jaishankar Prasad - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Jaishankar Prasad(30 January 1889 – 14 January 1937) Jaishankar Prasad (Hindi: ?????? ??????), one of the most famous figures in modern Hindi literature as well as Hindi theatre. <b> Biography </b> Jaishankar Prasad was born on January 30, 1889, in an elite madheshiya vaisya family in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. His father Babu Devki Prasad, also known as Sunghani Sahu (?????? ????), was a tobacco dealer. After, he lost his father at an early age, he had to encounter some family problems at a relatively young age, and left school after class eight. However, he remained interested in literature, languages, and ancient history, and continued studying at home; thereafter he developed a special inclination towards the Vedas and these interests are innately reflected in the deep philosophical contender/content of his works. <b> Language and influence </b> His initial poetry (Chitraadhar collection) was done in the Braj dialect of Hindi, but later he switched to the Khadi dialect or Sanskritized Hindi. In his earlier days, he was influenced by Sanskrit dramas, but later the influence of Bengali and Persian dramas is evident on his works. Prasad's most famous dramas include Skandagupta, Chandragupta and Dhruvaswamini . <b> Poetic Style </b> He is considered one of the Four Pillars (Char Stambh) of Romanticism in Hindi Literature (Chhayavad), along with Sumitranandan Pant, Mahadevi Verma, and Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala'. His style of poetry can at best be described as "touching". Art and philosophy have been exquisitely amalgamated in his writings. His vocabulary avoids the Persian element of Hindi and mainly consists of Sanskrit (Tatsama) words and words derived from Sanskrit (Tadbhava words) - some of them made really exquisitely by himself.
