My Poems My Paintings

About the Book

My Poems My Paintings is an anthology of poems of various genres in English written way back in 1971. He uses poetry as an apt mode of creative self-expression in the area of literary arts. Apart from their lyrical value, these verses on diverse subjects and themes carry the author’s philosophic outlook that persistently puts his highly individualized experiences in the universal context, making him a modern-day rishi (seer) of far-reaching consequence. His life’s oeuvre in poetry has four thousand poems, and in painting, nearly three thousand creations. Distinguished by the enormity of quantum, originality, sustained high quality, and amazing versatility, all his creations are couched in what he calls holistic humanism. He insists that we humans must wean consciousness from money-mindedness to moneyed-mindedness to become our pathfinders to the realm of life’s spiritual realities. It carries substantial and diverse material that will benefit the modern-day youth in getting rid of many illusions that cloud wits and prevent them from seeing God’s most precious gift (soul) lodged inside the eye-catching wrappings (body) that mislead us into blind alleys of maverick ambition. It is not unlikely that it will inspire some to discover their own native creativity and conscientiously develop it to full potential.
