Invocation
भूतानि दुर्गा भुवनानि दुर्गा, स्त्रियो नरश्चापि पशुश्च दुर्गा |
यद्यद्धि दृश्यं खलु सैव दुर्गा, दुर्गास्वरूपादपरं न किंचित् ||
Every place is Durga, every being is Durga, every woman, man and animal is Durga. Whatever we see are all Durga. There is nothing other than Durga .

At The End
Sashmit Roy
Yonder, by the brook,
A tree, of river birch stood;
The stream gushed her water-hard,
But the tree stall'd with a tranquil look.
The life of a man begins,
Like that of a sapling do;
He grows to be a hefty man,
Along his gluttonous looks.
History of humans, is full of greed-
Foolish, futile and ferocious deeds,
"For what?", you may crave-
For the wealth and power, meant for the brave.
And then you may inquire,
"Aristocracy and wealth, are of no-means; what of it?"
Then let me answer,
"Sire, if you were in such a place of high-esteem, could you have resisted such
pride?"
The tree, like the many victims of human greed,
Was, for it's birch, killed-
And now, it stands stead-
At height of a feet- from where it was cut dead.
Man can transform many things-
Wide-spread vegetation to cities,
And, wood to velvety upholsters;
But man certainly, cannot change selfishness,
Else, would he have chopped the tree, of the upholsters' wood?
I am eighty, and I have less to live-
Less health, less happiness, take it as you may;
I was rapacious, in my past, too,
And I did the vicious, self-centered work also,
The last of which, was to murder this one, innocent-tree.
Like the thousand beings before.
