“Naskar, The Origin Story (Sonnet 1999) Naren, Subhas, Abhijit, three vessels, one spirit. All three spring from paramhansa, in paramhansa we three perish. One mission, three vessels - one teacher, three students. Erase the one teacher, and you erase our driving promise. Before the scientist emerged poet, he was but a wandering monk - born nirvikalpa from sahasrara Gadadhar - Naren, Subhas, Abhijit, are not three but one. Awake, arise, adopt the world! Give me brains, and give me heart. Whenever fear and fanaticism take hold, from amongst you will rise a Naskar.” — Abhijit Naskar
Naskar, The Origin Story
(Sonnet 1999)
Naren, Subhas, Abhijit,
three vessels, one spirit.
All three spring from paramhansa,
in paramhansa we three perish.
One mission, three vessels -
one teacher, three students.
Erase the one teacher, and
you erase our driving promise.
Before the scientist emerged poet,
he was but a wandering monk -
born nirvikalpa from sahasrara Gadadhar -
Naren, Subhas, Abhijit, are not three but one.
Awake, arise, adopt the world!
Give me brains, and give me heart.
Whenever fear and fanaticism take hold,
from amongst you will rise a Naskar.
