SHABDHE SADA BASANT HAI
Since two important happy festivals of Basant and Holi fall in the same month and the festival of Baisakhi is in the process of shaping and maturing, it is pertinent to describe the significance of Phagan in the words of Guru Arjun – to understand the sacred line-link and the wider design of Cosmos.
PHAGAN ANAND UPARJANA
HAR SAJAN PRAGATEH AYEH
SANT SAHAI RAM KE
KAR KRIPA DIYA MILAYEH
SEJ SUHAVI SARAB SUKH
HUNH DUKHAHN NAHI JAYEH
ICHH PUNNI WADBHAGNI
VARR PAYA HAR RAI
MIL SAHIAN MANGAL GAVHI
GEET GOVIND ALAYE
HAR JEHA AVAR NAHI DISYEE
KOI DOOJA LAVEH NAH LAYEH
HALAT PALAT SAVARIAN
NEHCHIL DITIAN JAYEH
SANSAR SAGAR TE RAKHYAN
BAHOR NAHAN JANMEH DHAYEH
JEHVA EK ANEK GUNN
TAREH NAHN CHARNI PAYEH
PHAGUN NITT SLAHIEH
JIS NOO TIL NAHN TAMAEH
An attempt at rendition of the above hymn is as under :-
The month of Phagan is auspicious and joyous, because, the Lord has aroused and revealed to us His manifestational presence, in invigorative clime of promise and growth, of reapings and brimming-granaries, of stirrings for honest endeavor in the hearts and souls of human beings.This bonanza has been possible through motivation of Saints, our unfailing trust in Him and God’s own grace.
His staying presence in our mind-body and heart has made them gorgeous and fortunate, a source of boons, comforts and contented-fulfilment. The dismaying distressing factors have disappeared
Now it has become an occasion of festivity and celebrations, to sing Divine admirational songs of delight in the pleasant company of friends, who all in their great pride, conclude that there is non like Him anywhere.
He has blessed our minds to a state of imperturbable repose, sorted out our present and likely future problems. There is no fear of coming and going. The life has gained nirvana in His own scheme of eternalism.
The inadequacy, however, is, that the humans have got only one tongue to speak, whereas, Creator’s invaluable traits are far two many and precious to admire them with. It is not enough to merely bow before Him in reverence and gratitude. He has rid us of the bane-avarice, and the Homage-Abadat, therefore, must be diurnal, throughout the month and months on.
THE ROLE AND RELEVANCE OF BASANT:THE BUDDING OF DIVINE IN NATURE AND HUMAN PERSON
The above quotes do not imply that there is an attempt to highlight and upbeat a particular religion. The aim is to sum up the mood, message, significance and meaning and to workout in general, the role and relevance of Basant. The word Shabad used is not abstract or exclusive. Shabad means VICHAR – a divine thought process, presented to deal with the problems of life, its conflicts, confrontations, riot, tumble and turmoil.
To teach, to overcome them and to get on to right and honourable path is the role of religion or the science of conscience. The “Shabad Sadha Basant Hai” also means that the bloom is inclusive of all seasons for all people, of all nations. It is inclusive of the requirement of conquest of dynamics of Five in-set enemies, Dualism, Viprit and Trigunas (Rajo Tamo Sato concepts), as they become hurdles to seasoning and strengthening of the individual human brick for upgrading of life and its structures. A balanced good governance of these players is mootal for up-laddering.
This seasoning of the human brick is the seasoning of Human-Infrastrucutre. The conquest of above dynamics is the conquest of mind. The mind becomes mighty-super powered. No human paradigms, policies structures, systems and objective-pyramids can endure and thrive without building the foundational human infrastructure, which comes through the routes of school-university quality education, through the school of Nature, through the science of qualms in conscience; which in simple terms is complete Cosmic-Circuit-connectivity, for generation and transmission of noble energy, light, sense of all-weal, unison and endeavor along the Global highways of righteous direction, Marg and Manzil. All paradigms must meet the physical, mental and spiritual needs of humanity and achieve balance between eco-growth, social-development and spiritual re-surgence, making it a united cultural, perennial, concourse. We must hold continuous civilizational discourse to workout a Neo - Humanist Order of sublime kinship.
The subject of the paper is not dealing with specifics, which is the job of professional experts. It only strives to project broad-main outlines on rational Human Agenda for success of Human Affairs, from breaking of families to breaking and sullying of societies, throughout the world.
Nature is an open school university. Its curricula is central to all teaching faculties including the makings of a human person It has great potential power to educate, enthuse, liberate, heal, guide, inspire and uplift soul and sense. We have only to be its ardent lovers, keen students, devout disciples, explorers, adventurers, admirers, path-finders, to be able to capitalize on its freely, abundantly available wealth-values to enrich our exaltedness; to be able to enjoy a fuller sense of success and contentment. God pervades in all His manifestational forms. The Divining of the Empirical is the consummation of life. The human avarice is chastened. Both spiritual and material needs are well met, in adequate affluence, in state of SUKH-SEHAJ-ANAND (contented fulfillment, in calm repose, in grateful rejoice).
Rama Nand’s quote, Kabir’s divine exclaimation
“ MAULI DHARTI, MAOLYA AKAAS
GHATT GATT MAOLYA ATAM PRAGAS”
And Guru Arjun’s psalm on Phagan, become relevant as they offer key to solve world’s problems.
The message is not for a particular community, a local area, a nation, or a region. The message is for all people of the world, to upraise human – worth through nobility of character, loftiness of ideals, through earnest-sincerity in purpose and pursuit, magnanimity of disposition, elevation of moral-sense and responsibility, for dignification and consummate ascendancy of human order.
The significance and meaning in the message is for the entire world–leadership, more particularly, for the Top-brass-Custodians, the potential movers, shapers and makers of present and future destiny of mankind; the enlightened gems, in high seats of geo-political power, surveying the scene of human progress and predicament.
They must blast-out their old sticking prejudices, hard-postures, mis-understandings and transcend all parochial hurdles and barriers that cause divisiveness, drag, abuse and debasement and threaten to endanger the good interests of mankind.
They must adjust, update, reorient, universalize their perspectives, ideologies, doctrines, strategies, policies and programmes to fit-into the requirement of the most sought-after and long-awaited New Global Socio-Economic order.
Then, let there be an enlightened Core-head Conclave of Bush, Putin, Annan, Blair, Chirac, Shreoder, Manmohan, Abdullah, Sharon, Abbas, Karzai, and some other rulers of important states like Japan, Canada, Australia, South-Africa, Brazil…to lead an arrow-vanguard of OP ‘‘JHOOJAN” for justice, that launches an unstoppable, power-packed, invincible, ever forward-going, progressive worldwide KRANTI; setting a storm of stirrings, of awakening, of longings that commits civilization to an incessant engagement, for cleansing, greening and wisening of the Earth Planet to full matured blooms.
Such leaders will be acknowledged in the World’s Roll of Honour and ever remembered in history as (MUKH UJLEH SANT SAPAHI) the most brilliant saint warriors who relentlessly and collectively crusaded and battled for the great human cause, giving their everything, for up-pillaring the destiny of mankind.
In short, we have three options to choose from:
(i)We may launch a Human elevational Kranti, an alternative pattern of world war III for subliming of world-society.
(ii)Or if we fail in this, we risk world war three, packed with nuclear arsenals, weapons of mass destruction, clandestinely procured, developed and held, in pursuit of illegal nuclear proliferation. Some frenzied individual, a group, a cult or any irresponsible nation may set off the fuse and kick-up a free for all exchange of nuclear Armageddon for civilizations disaster.
(iii)If we fail to avail the first choice and also fail to handle the second scenario, we may helplessly look to heavens for a new Apostle to descend on Earth to control, sort out and establish a Global Anand Garh,-- world’s place of joy, peace, harmony, contentment, goodwill and good-living for all. Now, some may are may not have faith, hope or patience in this, as it is not some-thing readily available. The ball, therefore, is in the court of International Human Conclave—enlightened human persons of Learned Lore, to finally decide and proceed as they will.
The role, relevance and meaning of Basant-spring is in the first choice of Kranti. May the High Global Echelons resound with loud Jagat Jaikaro of Sat Sri Akal- which means victory of righteousness, elevation of human beings and establishment of an order of Sainthood, all to the glory of God!

Gurbani 10:The Season of Spring
"TERI MURAT EKAH BAHUT ROOP
KIS POOJ CHHARAVON DEON DHOOP"
"YOU ARE ONE -- SO MANY YOUR FORMS,
WHO TO OFFER MY WORSHIP,
BEFORE WHOM TO RAISE MY ADMIRATIONAL INCENSE"
The season of spring has dawned, the human mind illumined, JYOT in the inner shrine kindled, body-sense and soul enlightened; a mystique and explicit powerful enlivenment braces the atmosphere.
It's Turn Time. All elements, party entities of all shade-directions; left, right, centre, backward, forward, vertical or underground are in their sagacious, transcendent mien and are poised, to consensualise and confluence, in their co-operative, spirited-collectiveness, to build/enhance the bloom of progress in reforms, in its global connectivity perspective. God, Nature and Creation, already in their cosmic connect, bless, heighten and enrich the ecstatic enthrall of Basant and its perennial impact continuity.
It is time to wake up to avert defeat of conscience that permits ignoble pursuit of exploitation, depravery, degradation and possibly, of necluar doom, to shame life with. Time to swing with spring and gired up to mobilize the world-conscience that leads to honourable endeavour for just and fair, welfared, bloom. An age of conscience and enlightenment.
In this prevailing fresh light and elation, the inner and the outer human eyes have opened up and aligned, in synergic trans-visionment, to re-discover and reach the realm of Truth in the universal purpose of human existence.
The Earth and Space hold assuring promise for the burst of vegetation sproutals, growth, reaping and fruition. The swing invigorates and opens-forth mind-soul to admit "Atam Pragas". Atam Pragas is inner bloom. The integration of inner and outer bloom widens and sharpens the human awareness-ken, empowers conscience, builds Budh Vivek, which consolidates co-existential harmony, amity, peace; ennobles and enables era of righteousness, hope and achievement.
The season and the climate are opportune, conducive, inspirational, in serving-mode for Jan-Sata to avail and join the forward swing in momentum. In its larger context, it's probably, Nature`s eternally renewable insurance-package offering.
A sign, signal post beckons for grant of clearance to people of global republic, to advance enthusiastically, determinedly, collectively, the wheels of the train of millennial goals, towards a wholesome saintly world order, with thunderous raising of multi-macro, developmental slogans of "Nischey Kar Apni Jeet Karon".
The hill peak tops are heavily snow-capped, to stream the Absharik flow of life. The biting chill, frost, and the blinding fog have disappeared and the late-laden- clouds are on withdrawal. The message-borne winsome winds winnow the chaff, dust, and pollution. The horizons get clean and chaste.
All species are alive to Life-Force beat inside them. Through their innocent, quite, suave, mien, they seem to offer their silent gratitudinial obeisance in acknowledgement and affirmation of His presence; barring an element of errata in human mechanism; because, the thinking "Sikdar" is criss-crass, in meanderings, illusion's, ego; in Mamom and material enticement, bogged in quagmire; helplessly crying for recovery and redemption.
So far as the question of worship is concerned, the worship has to be of the conscience, of righteousness, of the vast sprawl majesty, mystery and benevolence of nature. The worship has to be of people, for God is in people and peoples's Regime has to be Godly. The worship is for Bahisht-e-Jahan. And the incense has to be of goodness that will be continually raised in the open Khand Brahamand for fragrance in terms of geniality, outlook and action of God's human beings.

Rama Nand expresses his feelings of Basant in his most stirring Psalm starting with above quoted words from Granth Sahib.
Bhagat Rama Nand is charmed by the advent of Basant.
An intense delight has overwhelmed his heart and soul.
His mind has shed futile meanderings and come to a state of balanced, calm- repose.
He observes that with every day-dawn, there is an urge in human persons to proceed to shrines for worship.
For this, they adopt various God symbols, perform rites and rituals, make supplications to God for grant of their needs and wishes
Saint Rama Nand, here conveys his own experience of revelation, in affirmation of the crux of Truth and Divinity.
He says that the God, we so longingly seek, is right inside us all. He is the all pervading powerful ruling force, an eternal phenomenon of the universe.
And, then, Rama Nand delivers home his point, assertively that all great apostles, scholars, devout faithists have churned and deeply researched holy scriptures of all religions. They confluence to conclude, that God throbs His presence in all human beings. He is not confined to the walls of Churches , Mandirs, Mosques and Gurdawaras or even unseen heaven.
When, the inside is lit with His recognition, the vision for outside gets kindled, transformed and enabled to survey, wonder, admire and gratefully acknowledge His DARSHONO, in his uncountable manifestational expanse, everywhere, in all things.
All darkness, illusions, superstitions, fears, liars are dispelled in this open vision of the mind. Rama Nand become one with Raja Ram. That is the rapture and glow in the exuberance of Basant.
