Collection of Poems Entitled “Aavu Kem ?” AAkrosh – Dr. Chayya Shah
Draupadi ne jyare muki daav par
tyarej ane Pandavo ne tyaje didha hot
Nari na ghor apman thi
aam itihas kalankit na thayo hot
Agni pariksha mangi Rame jyare
tyarej sita e inkaar karyo hot
Bejeevati nari ne jungle ma haki mukvane S
Sri rame himmat na kari hot
Patini pachal Gandhari e
Aam aankhe pati na bandhi hot
Nij aankhna amrut thi
neej putra ne bheenjavi shaki hot
Mahabharata nu yudhha atkavi shaki hot
Sati nu birudh pamnari
Aa nari oe matra ek stree thavani koshish jo kari hot
aam varamvar balidaan mangvani purushone
adat na padi hot
Had Draupadi abandoned the Pandavas when they put her up as collateral
Then history would not have been shamed by this deep insult of womankind
Had Sita refused, when Ram subjected her to the fire test as a sign of her purity
Then Sri Ram would not have had the courage to banish a pregnant woman to the jungle
Had Gandhari not put a blindfold over her eyes to provide companionship to her husband,
Then she could have showered her child with the sweet love from her own eyes and stopped the Mahabharata wars.
If all these women whom we hail as satis, had tried to be real “women”
Then men would not be in the habit of repeatedly asking women to make supreme sacrifices.

ReplyDeleteHow many women we know would have actually had the courage to do otherwise, if ever they faced such a thing??????
