DHYUTI

 

Dhyuti is Yogeshwarji's collection of Gujarati poems (kavita). Saint and poet is a rare combination. It may seem odd but Shri Yogeshwarji, though being an accomplished and self-realized saint, was an extraordinary poet. He wrote more than hundred books and explored various forms of literature. Whether it be poems or comments, articles or novel, translation or autobiography - his ability to treat each form of literature was amazing.

Yogeshwarji was a saint with a heart of poet. During his nearly two decades of Himalayan stay, mainly in the solitary place of Shantashram in Dev Prayag, he wrote many poems reflecting his burning desire for the manifestation of the Divine. Later on, those poems assumed the form of his first book 'Anant Soor'. It was followed by his collection of bhajans, songs, prayers and poems in the form of 'Prasad', 'Aalap', 'Aarti', 'Abhipsa', 'Sai Sangeet', 'Bindu' etc.

Poems of 'Dhyuti' were written comparatively later in seventies by Yogeshwarji, long after the days of his penance in the Himalayas, and so they differ from his other creations. The soul of all poems still reflects his divinity, his righteousness and his eye for visualizing the divine everywhere. In moments of love or pain, sorrow or anger, he doesn't miss to see reflection of divine's wish . It is a great lesson that we have to learn from his poems.

In 'Dhyuti', you will find emotion as varied as a moment of war to incessant rain, from supernatural powers to human ignorance, from human intelligence to God's wishes - sprouted out of activity and aspirations of ordinary human beings surrounding us. Readers would relish its unique fragrance.

Gujarati literates have not evaluated Yogeshwarji's literary contribution as they should but hopefully in coming years people will recognize his immense contribution to Gujarati literature.
