anityam by Raghav Prashant Sundar

“We have a rich tradition wherein, when the love for God/Goddess goes beyond a certain threshold, and you cannot contain or express the same to a fellow human being, the emotion transmutes itself into a piece of art such as poems, kritis, and so on, as a small token of gratitude, in the poet’s perspective, towards the higher being. Here, Raghav Prashant Sundar, a modern-day devotee, has showcased his devotion and spiritual knowledge through the shortest poetic form: haiku. It truly is an honour and a huge contribution to have him in the haiku community, spreading the love, knowledge, and spiritual concepts of Hindu culture to other readers around the world.”
