Let
your ISM- parochialism, or jingoism; or arguing for its own sake
Or superiority of power politics, or colour prejudices, mar or make
The fortunes of Indians, but the sublime culture of Indian mortal
Never was inferior, nor will be subdued by any force; it is immortal
How I wish I were to be born an insignificant sentient in any but
orient
To witnessing the soul forcibly demonstrated by every
saint-seer-hermit
And turning into a chakora to drink in the sap looking at that moon
Hoping that one sitala mayukwa may fall after ages as act of Lord's
boon"
Thus prayed Max Muller on his death bed after decades of inimitable
study
And collating, editing of the entire Bharata Vignana with intellect
sturdy
Sure no single Vedic seer witnessed as he so much of Vignana jyoti
of East
He is indeed a phenomenon serving Indologists with an intellectual
feast
Hats
off to this foreign Indian, whose Indian ness excelled that of any
Indian
In literature, philosophy his astounding versatility's superior to
any Indian
So scholars hailed
his as Moksha Mulam lyer in recognition of his merit
Verily his yearning for oriental life merits prostrations by men
true spirit.
