This collection of poems is translated from my original book " Prakruti Prerane Kavana Kruti" in Kannada language.
This is an artwork that marvelously explains the cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution, human emotions, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the fundamental truths of life. It is an excellent attempt to explore human existence, dependence, time, and the mysteries of the universe. A beautiful poetic work that presents philosophical principles poetically and sheds the light of enlightenment.Professionally a senior physician in the US Army, Dr. Mallikarjuna Badiger's debut poetry collection contains 20 poems. In these poems, the beauty of nature, the wonder of the seasons, the joy of rain, the silence of greenery, and the chirping of birds are rendered with delicate emotion. Alongside, one also finds mature poetry that carries concern, responsibility, and anxiety for the natural world. The attempt here is not just to see beauty but to seek the meaning and relationship hidden behind it.
In this beautiful poetry collection, Dr. Mallikarjuna Badiger views nature through scientific, mythological, and philosophical lenses. He has depicted the multifaceted form of creation most artistically and profoundly. The use of exquisite metaphors and similes is commendable. The depth of the poet's philosophical contemplation is superb. For those who neglect the environment, this is a wake-up call.
