Just look at these verse lines: ‘puppet of emotions, victim of desires’, ‘make one a gadget of ego’, ‘wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong’, ‘despise greed’ these phrases are wonderful to remember and muse over. Only the titles are modest but the contents are reflective. Most of the titles are monosyllables like ‘Quest’, ‘Word’, ‘Caring’, ‘Patience’, ‘Today’, ‘Life’, ‘Impetus’ to cite a few examples. When one goes through the poems which are deceptively simple and only in some places with slight complexity, make the reader ponder or muse over the lines read and their significance. Well, the author explains that all his complicated mental puzzles were solved by simply listening to the ‘Words’ of Amma’s Gospel.
Starting his book with the Pranav Mantra ‘Om’ the Primordial Energy, his vision spreads over the myriad actions, reactions, questions, doubts, answers, explanations, and above all a way to understand the life and its shades with equanimity. Rajenderji’s 45 brief and a few little lengthy poems almost explore all the intricate, inexplicable and enigmatic life of humans and their constant quest to find a tangible answer to what happens at every stage of one’s life at large.
His new offering ‘Amma’s Gospel’ is another gem from the renowned author wherein his paternal grand ma keeps his mind and spirits active and also answers many of the unanswered questions in his mind even at this stage of life. His earlier book ‘ Solitude and other Poems’ is a testimonial of his amazing creativity. Those who know Rajender Krishan ji must also be aware of his strong penchant for poetry.
