I love Tara for taking care in every dressings!

Save Yourself and Humanity!

-Shekhar Bastakoti

I plea for the humans to protect thyself,

I request fellow people to save Yourself!

I ask mankind to safeguard the family,

I advise all men and women to save humanity!

Who else will be there when humanity perishes?

What will be the fate of universe with no mankind?

How can we draw the pictures of no humanity?

Why is the world moving towards its dehumanity?

Man’s anger and pride so disgraceful and dirty,

Man’s arrogance and ignorance so polluted!

Man’s so-called super heroism for nothing,

Man’s illusion to supercede nature in nothing!

Thus, man should create a society so lovely,

Thus, he must work to create lasting harmony!

Thus, man shouldn’t fight against each other,

Thus, humanity must be united to be Universal!

Love, respect and friendship are so healing,

Lovely and adorable humanity are so appealing!

Let’s save ourselves with love and true reverence,

Lets save our fellow humans with all benevolence!

Cuz, no one Saving you, only Yourself- Love

Mother Nepal (Poem)

Himalaya Post — Sun, 09 May 2021 01:33:57 +0000

-Shekhar Raj Bastakoti

Is there any Nepali?

Nepal, my mother nation,

my Goddess, Being in your lovely lap,

ask you my Goddess!

Did you see any Nepali in your amazing lap?

To serve you as mother nation in any time gap?

All so-called leaders used your name for their fame,

Did anyone fulfill the promises they did in your name?

Ama, I am indeed in shame that I couldn’t do anything,

But, Ama be sure I have expressed my feelings on everything!

Nepal is our mother nation so holy and full of resources,

So rich that the political pirates can play on the recourses!

Drama and prophesies they are making to fool the people,

Honest and innocent men and women become the disciple!

In vain, the political dramatists are sharing the dreams ahead,

They are the Agents of the foreign forces to stop people go ahead!

Slaves and traitors are ruling the nation in the name of nationality,

Crooks and knowledge less goons are roaming with power lunatically!

Ama, nobody spells of Nepalbad,

everyone is the victim of Dalalbad,

In the name of different parties,

all are selling the soul of Nepalbad!

The puppets and agents of forces behind foreign interests in politics,

Are inhaling the true essense of Nepalism in the grip of poly- tricks!

I love you Ama,

Happy New Year 2078 ! (Poem)

Himalaya Post — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 04:35:36 +0000

-Shekhar Raj Bastakoti

Welcome to the new dawns of 2078,

Humanism suffered much in 2077!

Pray for the peace and happiness of all,

Wish for the removal of the fear in all!

Again we rise must be the belief,

Inherent in every soul to feel relief!

Your advent in such crucial junctures,

Is the hope of breath in human architecture!

A Satan in the name of Covid 19 on earth,

Danced a cruelty by taking many lives from earth!

Spread terror, insecurity and fear among all,

As if it brings the darkest era for the human fall!

Humanity is the conqueror of all challenges,

It is the brain to subvert untold catastrophes!

Invented cures and remedies of treatment,

Still to be proven to shun away the ailment!

The coming of the New Year 2078 ,

Will certainly heal the wounds of 2077!

Man will be inspired to live in peace and happiness,

The whole humanity will cherish the year with greatness!

Family and Love ! (Poem)

Himalaya Post — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 01:14:18 +0000

-Shekhar Raj Bastakoti

The Family is the most powerful strength,

Love, adoration and benevolence spring there!

Family is the source of inspiration and life,

Once Shattered is gone the charisma of life!

Taking easy and making dogma in vain,

Is the source of family life astrayed in vain!

Love and let all be loved unconditional,

Joyous, pretty and lovely life is universal!

Betraying the dignity and the very essence,

Makes lifeline and its importance nonsense!

Respect, do learn to know very lessons enriched,

Honor , do apply the core of humanity enshrined!

Family, first with all optimism and purity,

Love, amongst all is the zeal with purity!

Unified family love can conquer all over,

That can teach the globe of love all over!

Love, the truest in its form and adoration,

Can make the whole planet a decoration!

Filled with aimless and selfless society,

Thus makes a great family love in affinity!

God is Great ! (Poem)

Shekhar Raj Bastakoti

Believing in the beliefs we inherit,

Loving and respecting all merits!

Without discrimination of races,

Creat everywhere the peaceful bases!

All religious beliefs are our own in one,

Named and practiced differently to be one!

Divided we are just for the lust of power,

Separated we are just to ignore the our!

No faith and sect disrespects one another,

But all humans are foes from one another!

Cuz, the Devil against humanity over rode,

The affinity and closeness we gain abode!

We are all the butterfly of one Supreme Creator,

We are the angels to serve as assigned by Creator!

We don’t have right to boast for our great success,

We must be very grateful to the Gods giving access!

Allah, Christ, Hindu Gods and Goddesses with Buddha,

All religious clans and faiths prevalent with Dharma!

Are but One without any division,enmity and sectoralism,

Because God is Great, adorable and pious in Universalism!

God, the only One in different forms, beliefs and prayers!

Flying over the Sky (Poem)

Himalaya Post — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 06:13:02 +0000

Shekhar Raj Bastakoti

Amazing is the experience to fly over,

Awesome people with beautiful smiles,

Stunning beauty of the snowy mountains,

Luring attractions of natural fountains!

Creating superb and fantastic opportunities,

Vibrating the innovative side of energies,

Inviting the unimagined thoughts around,

Bringing the core of the knowledge abound!

Flying under the umbrella of the bluest sky,

Flying over the serenity of the natural alma,

Flying with an ambition determined and solid,

Flying around the vacuum of the universal lid!

Imagination unlocks several avenues around,

Supernatural and sub-natural thoughts abound,

With the quest of the universal mystery and vastness,

Man hones the knowledge and intelligence to superb ness!

The superb green hills and natural fauna underneath,

The great plains and dense forests smiling solemnly,

The chirping of lovely birds and smiles of the snow underneath,

Provides immense pleasure and happiness so solemnly!

Lord Shiva!
