The Songs of Humanity

"In the blind race of modernity, man has forgotten the human values; lost morality which was once the best attribute of man and he has degraded himself too much that many global problems have risen in the present scenario of our world society. With this effect, we have suffered from communalism, regionalism, racialism, narrow nationalism, fanaticism etc. These instincts have polluted our society at a large scale which ultimately has violated the concept of Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam.

The man has started exploiting natural resources, polluting the environment and murdering his kiths and kin intentionally or unintentionally. The concept of family has been shattered and the relations which were the main reason of forming the societies are weakening these days. Corruption and fear are at flux. Instead of being faithful towards duty and love each and every person is looking stressed. There is no hope before them of coming out of this tragic situation.

The young are neglecting the good traditions in which they have been brought up and the festivals which bring a unique happiness on their weary faces have lost their lustre which is all essential in our life. These traditions have their own importance and they must be followed; and accompanied by the good models established by our ancestors. There is a wide generation gap between the young and the old so the tendency of living separately from their parents is growing so fast day by day.

These entire modern dilemmas have made me want to compose a poetry book. With the feelings of poetic mind I could develop respect for the human values which have become the central theme of my poetry. I pass through all such thoughts and feelings to my readers in simple diction. After having read my book, they will not only talk about their rights but shall perform their duties also as a human being, towards the society in which they live, towards Mother Nature, towards the world; and follow the path of love which is the ultimate residing place for peace and humanity.

I am very much indebted to Mr. M. A. Rathore, from Hanumangarh, a great source of inspiration for me, who has given the foreword to my book; motivated me with every detail I could consult with him while composing poetry and inspired me to go with the modern standard of composing poetry. His blessing is like the lighthouse for the ships in the wide ocean. With his blessings I could give you a unique piece which is not less than a pious scripture of the religion, Humanity.

I am so much thankful to Mr. Dinesh Upadhyay from Didwana, Rajasthan, Dr. NK Sharma from Patiala, Punjab, Miss Brenda Mohammad from Trinidad and Tobago, Mary Lynn Luiz from Florida, USA, who have provided their worth comments for my book. All these people have fondly instructed and inspired me to work diligently. With their motivational support I could receive a number of national and international awards and recognition.

Again I am feeling blessed with the grace of my parents Mr. Krishan Lal Verma and Mrs. Parwati Devi who always make me able to perform the pious work of poetry. The cooperation of my beloved wife, Sugna Devi cannot be neglected who occasionally reads my poems and suggests me to do better. The name of my daughter Miss. Bhawna Verma and my son Govind Verma are also worth mentioning for they have helped me in choosing the cover of my book. "
