Parjaay: Prakriti | Upa-Parjaay: Grishma | Written On: 1927 | Collection: Nataraj |
Song Summary: Boishakh, the new beginning, initiates with the appearance of “Unconscious I” in both conscious and unconscious state. In unconscious state, the new year gets rid of the terminally ill individual for reincarnation. In conscious state, understanding of the new year initiates the new beginning or the new eternal living. It removes the old memories, forgotten praises, past tears/sufferings, past shame and the fear of death. It also revies the earth in pristine look, dries out the psycho-physical intoxication, and brings makes visible the conch of destruction to remove the illusionary veil-of-fog.
