অ পূূজাৰী আদৰি দিলো | বিষ্ণু ৰাভা

Bishnu Rava’s poem অ’ পূজাৰী আদৰি দিলো (“O Priest, I Offer You”) is a lyrical composition that intertwines devotion, spirituality, and cultural identity. Through its melodious rhythm and symbolic imagery, the poem serves as a humble offering to a higher power, imbued with the essence of Assamese religious traditions.

Critical Analysis:

Devotion as the Main Theme: The poem exudes a sense of intense devotion, embodied in the symbolic act of offering ‘বৰণ শৰাই’ (a ceremonial plate) adorned with elements of Assamese culture and spirituality. This offering is not only material but also spiritual, reflecting the poet’s yearning to connect deeply with the divine.

Cultural symbolism: Rava has skillfully woven cultural and religious motifs, such as ‘শঙ্খ*, *কাঁহ’, and ‘মুৰুলি’ (conch, brass plate, and flute). These elements represent traditional Assamese ‘Namghar’ (prayer house) practices, underlining the cultural essence and spiritual heritage of the region.

Music and rhythm: The musicality of the poem is evident, with phrases such as ‘হৰি ঝাম ভকতি’ and ‘জগতৰ ঝানা বিলাই’ creating a rhythmic beat that reflects the collective chanting in the *Namghar*. This rhythm binds the community and invites readers into the spiritual atmosphere of Assamese devotion.

Philosophical Undertone: The poet raises a subtle philosophical question in ‘Sundar Shankar Kyun Nahin Hai?’ (“Why is Sundar Shankar not here?”), which reflects the absence of divinity or harmony in human actions. This signals a longing for divine presence within the community and a call for introspection.

Unity through Spirituality: By invoking ‘Gobinder Naam’ (the name of Lord Krishna), Rao emphasizes the unifying power of faith and devotion. The collective celebration of divinity in ‘নাম ঘৰৰ চোতালে’ (courtyard of the prayer house) symbolizes a shared cultural and spiritual identity.

While the poem excels in evoking devotion and cultural pride, its reliance on religious imagery may limit its appeal to an audience unfamiliar with Assamese traditions or spirituality. The depth of its philosophical question is understated, leaving readers craving a more detailed exploration of its implications.

Conclusion:

‘অ’ পূজাৰী আদৰি দিলো’ is a harmonious blend of devotion and cultural celebration, demonstrating Rava’s ability to combine faith with Assamese identity. It remains a powerful reminder of the region’s rich heritage and the enduring strength of communal spirituality.
