Varanasi

…since time immemorial

Early in the morningwell before sunrise

on the banks of the Ganga,the holiest of all rivers

large crowds gather for the surya-darshan

some take to the watersto enjoy the best views

of the long line of ancient ghats

leaving busy crowdsfar behind…

the boats sail past old palaces belonging to royal families across India

and ancient temples

from every possible place people wait for the sunrise

the boat passesthe bathing ghats

some seek salvationin groups

some in solitary meditation

the palaces speak of a glorious past

alongside some even more timeless offerings

rafts for birds to drink and bath in peaceaway from the congested town and river banks

then comes the sunriseto the furious applause of cameras

back on the ghatslife goes on as always

the reverent pray

the not so reverent catch up with friends

some seek salvation through alms

birth and deathan eternal cycle

for the living simple commerce, a means for survival

on good dayscustomers come early

on others even flowers have few takers

no guarantees in life that’s the secret

keep your faith whatever form it takes

then in the eveningenjoy the arti

in the company of fellow seekers

you might find peacein the crowds

Varanasisince time immemorial

on the banks of the Ganga,

the holiest of all rivers
