“How to make twins”

कई दिनों से हिन्दी मे लिखने की सोच रहा था , लेकिन समय ही नहीं मिल रहा था . आज कुछ वक्त निकला तो ट्रांस्लिटरेशन के मध्यम से कुछ विचार रख रहा हूँ , आशा करता हूँ की हिन्दी प्रेमी इससे प्रसन्न होंगे . वैसे मेरे इस ब्लॉग के जो अधिकारी गण हैं उनकी ऐसी धरना है की मेरे ब्लॉग का अनुवाद देश की सभी मुख्य भाषाओँ मे होना चाहिए . मुझे पता नहीं ये सम्भव होगा की नहीं , लेकिन इस ओर प्रयास निश्चित रूप से बहुत जल्द आरम्भ हो जाने की संभावना है .

आज दिन भर बाबूजी की पुस्तकों को पढने समझने मे बीत गया . इतना विस्तार ओर इतना रहस्य मय जीवन ! सदियाँ लग जाएँगी उन्हें समझने मे . लेकिन शुरुआत तो कहीं न कहीं करनी पड़ेगी . और ये तो निश्चित है की जो भी समझूंगा आप सब के साथ उसे बाटूंगा .

आप सभी से अब आज्ञां चहुँगा . नमस्कार

The day comes to an end. And it has been filled with words and thoughts that have been left behind by my Father. I spent the day again going through pages of his biography, his poems and his writings and am amazed at the volume of work that he has left behind. His thinking, his philosophy, his opinion not just in the poetry and prose but even as he spoke in his interviews and in his insatiable desire to write and respond to each letter he received personally.

It will take me several lifetimes to do justice to them, but I must begin somewhere and when I do you must remain assured that they shall be shared with all of you.

There has been talk of translating my blog writings in various other languages of the country. I have cynically scoffed at the idea from the administrators of the blog, but it seems there are serious efforts afoot in this direction. Once the modalities are in place there shall be announcement and presentation.

For now, I must retire. There are serious scenes for tomorrow which will need my attention and preparation. And of course more posts shall follow. I did find a poem of my fathers which inspired soldiers at some earlier instant in our lives, but which apply easily for today. Will endeavor to put them up and hopefully with an adequate translation..

Much love and prayers for peace..
