Shristee Singh
In a
million year, a star shined,
And a
devout angel India did find.
Non-violence
was his tool,
During
British Raj, he made satyagrah rule.
When
Britshers were a rogue,
He ensured sawadeshi was
in vogue.
Spinning
charkha, he whirled in patriotism,
Breaking
barriers of scepticism,
Uplifting
the downtrodden,
His satsangs made
everyone's outlook broaden.
Uniting
the nation for a cause
His
endeavor for swaraj was worth applause.
“Be the
change you wish to see in the world.”
In every breath
of his compassion unfurled.
An epitome
of simple living, high thinking,
He
uplifted the nation when it was sinking.
Bapu and
Mahatma he was lovingly called,
Solicitude
and kindness from him sprawled!
A legend…
not gone,
