A Dharma Utopia Is! Poem by Ramesh T A

Life dharma is existence, knowledge, bliss and absoluteness;
Man’s purpose is not to suffer hardships but enjoy happiness!
Difficulties, monotony and drudgery are due to adharma only;
To live happy and fulfilling life is man’s purpose in the world;
Dharma is the way to live successful Indian Utopian life here;
Krishna is the Lord of Dharma who guides all so to Moksha!

The Republic by Plato and Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna
Say about what justice and dharma are for life to mankind.
New Atlantis by Francis Bacon and Utopia by Thomas Moore
Say about world parliament and ideal society for just life.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell
Say about dystopias controlled by science and totalitarianism!

Hinduism says world is one family as Vasudevaya Kudumbakam;
Dharma is the just culture for individual and society to follow
The path of karma, yoga and moksha to live a fulfilled life for all.
Origin of Species by Charles Darwin says about physical evolution;
But Bhagavatham by Vyasa says about evolution by avatars of God
And Bhagavad Gita says about spiritual evolution of man to Godhood!

World wars have been stopped but wars are there still in the world;
After the world wars cold war began and then terror war is on now.
Clash between civilisation and culture and modernity and orthodoxy,
Technology and backwardness and rich and poor are going on now.
A neutral path is what needed now to bring an end to the clash and
Clash between capitalism and socialism can be ended by humanism!

But as the two poles have exceeded the limit of justice wars are on;
Caught between the two, world people are suffering untold miseries.
This is against dharma and all kinds of troubles torture world men;
Adamantness and greediness are adharma that keeps world in havoc;
Too much desire is the root cause for all sufferings says Buddhism too;
So, nonattachment and love only can bring an end to world turmoil!

For preventing wars and maintaining peace United Nations was formed;
Due to Super Powers’ cold war rivalry, UNO has been made ineffective.
The key to set right all set backs lies in the hands of UNO only forever;
Only if the key is used in unity by all, the door can open for world peace;
But the fighting parties like Israel and Palestine, Taliban and others should
Come to the negotiating table and talk for peace for solving all matters!

If Dharma is followed the world will become a Utopia many have dreamed!
Dharma, karma, yoga and moksha will make human life heaven here itself
As dharma is knowledge of truth, culture, natural justice and eternal order,
Karma is Duty to be performed selflessly according to each one’s nature,
Yoga is the way of life one has to live according to one’s nature in the world,
Moksha is the eternal abode of absoluteness to enjoy total divine liberty!

Dharma is individual and social justice needed for all to follow to enjoy bliss;
Karma is duty of philosophers, poets, writers and intellectuals to guide State,
Duty of presidents, ministers, administrators and leaders to lead the nation,
Duty of economists, agriculturalists, industrialists and traders to enrich it
And duty of scientists, engineers, doctors and teachers to do service for all!
