National Poetry Writing Month

Day :27
Diksha for Moksha
She was renouncing to become a monk
Date fixed, time fixed, she fixed herself
In the world of minimalism
It wasn’t easy, especially in jainism
They visit houses of jain communities and feed themselves
Bare feet they walk for miles and miles for days
They fast on fix days or can be months or years
They leave colors of robes as their lives
In white they survive.
Masking their mouth for not killing a tiniest living species of the world
Their every single hair is pulled out to remove
Just in the wish to unite with god
Few days before “diksha” for “moksha”
Many celebrations took place
To donate her rich materialistic things a huge procession happens
Band bajas are called, music played
People throng in thousands to see her
Luxuries of luxurious life, she is prepared to leave
Her face shone like Moon
And glow within her was radiating on her face
Her body showing no regrets of renouncing family, parents
Herself adorned in beautiful chaniya cholis and jewelleries
A billion dollar girl was she!
Celebration of Renouncement was like a marriage
Poets, authors and writers can write on marriages
Very few can be inspired to write on “Diksha”
Leaving everyone and everything,
Turning her back she left,
Accepting the most difficult path
Or can be said, “ A road less travelled” by Robert Frost
Her determination ferocious
Prepared for all hardships
Happily with a smile she renounces and moves towards road tough
For peace in the peace, peace for every soul
