Our constant walk towards the infinite emptiness of eternity,
A thousand vain attempts, to reject the Absolute Truth,
Waiting only to die, waiting only to face certain truths,
Despite that, in this momentary life, how many futile arrangements are being made.

The Kang festival of Bishnupriya Manipuris is a festival of nine-day duration in the bright fortnight in the month of Ashar (June-July) with elaborate paraphernalia. It is observed with great festivity and celebration. On the first day and the last day of Kang festival, Chariot-Procession with the idol of Lord Jagannatha is led out.In Manipur the Kang festival was introduced by Maharaj Gambhir Singh on 1832 AD. He founded the images of Jagavandhu, Balarama and Subhadra and commenced worship on the model of Puri. It should be mentioned that in the village Leishangs image of Lord Jagavandhu is worshippedwith proper rites. he Kang is squire, it has four huge wheels, its head takes the shape of Burmese pagoda and there are two or more long ropes so that the divotees can pull the chariot.
The songs sung during the pulling of Kang in praise Lord Jagannath are both devotional and humorous in nature. One of the songs goes like this–
Akhi paka Jagannath ( Lord Jagananth with giant eyes)
Att tuppa Jagannth ( Lord Jagananth with no hands)
Theiping Chora Jagannath (Lord Jagananth who steals jack fruits)
Chehem Chora Jagannath (Lord Jagananth who steals pineapples)
Heinou Chora Jagannath (Lord Jagananth who steals mangoes)

Bishnupriya Manipuris have been living peacefully and harmoniously with other communities and religious groups for centuries. Out of them the Bengali Hindus and also Hindus from other tribes and caste join in wholeheartedly in every religious occasions. Specially on the biggest occasions and festivals like Rash Leela , Rath Yatra , Durga Puja. Bishnupriya Manipuris are also invited in their festivals and occasions. There are some variations and differences in the rituals, yet people are respectful to each other’s traditions and beliefs. As great saint Sree Ramkrishna has “As many faiths , so many ways”. Eventually, this journey will end up in the point. All the lines will converge onto one point.
This mutual respect and trust between communities are for many years. The young generations are actually more aware about these things and they cautiously spread the message of friendship and solidarity among all. The active participation of people from other communities always makes the Bishnupriya Manipuris delighted and proud.
Hence, they have been successfully be able to live together with communities without having to fight and struggle with each other.
Finally, on the 9th day Fira Rath Yatra or Ulta Rath takes place.
Lord Jagannath returns to his abode with the consortium symbolises the ultimate nature of this universe; everything has a return to its origin like the souls wandering in the world! They will return to their divine abode after the play of nature, the game of incarnation.

How far will you run.
How much can you hide.
Eventually the sun will find you,
The moon will reveal you even in night.
You have nowhere to go but look deep inside.
You project this reality, it only exists because of you.
Search within, outside there only chaos, inside its only silence.

অপরূপা বাংলা।

Enchanting and mesmerizing beauty of Bangla ❤️

আবার আসিব ফিরে ধানসিঁড়িটির তীরে- এই বাংলায়
হয়তো মানুষ নয়- হয়তো বা শংখচিল শালিখের বেশে,
হয়তো ভোরের কাক হয়ে এই কার্তিকের নবান্নের দেশে
কুয়াশার বুকে ভেসে একদিন আসিব এ কাঁঠাল ছায়ায়।
হয়তো বা হাঁস হব- কিশোরীর- ঘুঙুর রহিবে লাল পায়
সারাদিন কেটে যাবে কলমীর গন্ধভরা জলে ভেসে ভেসে।
আবার আসিব আমি বাংলার নদী মাঠ ক্ষেত ভালোবেসে
জলাঙ্গীর ঢেউয়ে ভেজা বাংলার এই সবুজ করুণ ডাঙ্গায়।

হয়তো দেখিবে চেয়ে সুদর্শন উড়িতেছে সন্ধ্যার বাতাসে।
হয়তো শুনিবে এক লক্ষ্মীপেঁচা ডাকিতেছে শিমূলের ডালে।
হয়তো খইয়ের ধান ছড়াতেছে শিশু এক উঠানের ঘাসে।
রূপসার ঘোলা জলে হয়তো কিশোর এক সাদা ছেঁড়া পালে
ডিঙ্গা বায়; রাঙ্গা মেঘ সাঁতরায়ে অন্ধকারে আসিতেছে নীড়ে
দেখিবে ধবল বক; আমারেই পাবে তুমি ইহাদের ভীড়ে।

After performing the whole night, the little Krishna is exhausted and resorted to his father’s lap for some rest. The Krishna wants to go home immediately but there are still some rituals left. The father is trying to convince him to stay strong for a little bit longer.

This is the moment right after the Ras performance ends; all the performers come out of the venue then they go to the temple to seek blessings from God and head towards home. Meanwhile the devotees touch the feet of the performers as the devotees see them as embodiments of Radha- Krishna and the Gopis.

In the process of adulting , one thing which has been very profound in my life must be falling in love with “silence and solitude”. As days are passing by , I am becoming increasingly hooked by the need of being alone most of the time. The chaos around me feels so disturbing and overwhelming whereas silence brings me joy. Time and time again, I want find myself in a midst of nothingness, a land far away from everything where nothing exists to bother me. Silence allows me to contemplate on the aspects of life which I usually can not. There is a constant need I feel for myself to introspect about my feelings and emotions which are very personal. My soul craves for the answers about existence, purpose of life and reason of this whole theatre of reality where we are kinda stuck. We have forgotten living life a long back. On the contrary, life, seems like a journey of survival and suffering in which we are so engrossed and entangled that beauty of life has been perished. However, it feels like this rotten, non fictional , pathetic society has imposed upon its rules which I must abide my. The significance of individuality is a myth now or grossly misinterpreted.
I always have felt, I never signed up for this mess on the first place. My ambitions, aspirations and dreams are very different than the reality I have made a part of, forcefully and illegally.

I hold onto my grudges and frustrations without letting anyone know and in silence I can vent out, scream aloud or just simply think about them. Solitude makes me happy, it helps me to free and it gives me an emancipation from the mundane discrepancies continuously being thrown at me. Silence listens to me just like I listen to it. It understands me better than anyone and anyone, comforting me at least for a time being, and I perceive a deep, latent connection with my own self, my existence.
Maybe I am turning into a lunatic.

I want to be immersed, submerged and lost in silence rather than an “orchestrated farce known as society”.

I just wish to feel myself, my actual and true self. No lies, no falsity, no trickery. Just the truth. No matter how unpleasant it maybe.
