There were similarities between Osho’s preaching and the messages from Madhushala even though Madhushala was written when Osho was a toddler. It is said that he was inspired by Madhushala and other poems of Bachchan ji, which is reflected in his sermons and at his Ashrams. Such as –
धर्मग्रन्थ सब जला चुकी है जिसके अन्तर की ज्वाला, कर सकती है आज उसी का स्वागत मेरी मधुशाला!

Or this when it comes to Dhyaan or Meditation -
ध्यान किए जा मन में सुमधुर सुखकर, सुन्दर साक़ी का, और चलाचल, पथिक, न तुझको दूर लगेगी मधुशाला!

Or this when it comes to dancing in a state of trance –
आँख चार हों जिसकी मेरे साकी से दीवाना हो, पागल बनकर नाचे वह जो आए मेरी मधुशाला

There was also a fallout between Osho and Dr Bachchan, how and why? Let’s take a listen :-)

In between, we also talk about the movie “Rose Island” when re read these lines –
फिर मैं नभ-गुम्बद के नीचे नव-निर्मल द्वीप बनाऊँगी, जिस पर हिल-मिल कर बसने को सम्पूर्ण जगत को लाऊंगी

Bachchan's Madhushala, Shyama – Ek Laghu Kalika Nirali]]> Thu, 31 Dec 2020 18:12:22 GMT 15:25 edaebf16-a019-43c6-9496-43814570b128 false https://shows.acast.com/kahaani-madhushala-ki-poetry-and-stories/episodes/6033e38c09d9ad267b185fd2 6033e38c09d9ad267b185fd2 6033e381ecbc6e586380d261 full 1 15 Circa 1926, we are talking about Shyama, who was just 14 years old when she got married to Bachchan, who was barely 19. We will share the story about their love and life journey, and how Bachchan ji found her to be a free-spirited, always joyful, cheerful girl, like Shelley’s Skylark – “an unbodied joy whose race is just begun”.
उसके उस सरलपने से मैंने था हृदय सजाया, नित नए मधुर गीतों से उसका उर था उकसाया।

She was smiling even in her death, something that is expressed in this line –
मृत्यु शय्या पर पड़े अति - रुग्ण की अन्तिम हँसी-सी - यत्न करके खिल रही है - एक लघु कलिका निराली।

She was also the first one who could see a great poet in Bachchan and did everything in her powers to keep his poetry going. It was during her lifetime that “Madhushala” was written and published. She made a huge impact even in her short life.
जब तुझे पहचान पाया, देवता को जान पाया,  खींच तुझको ले गया तब काल का आह्वान! यह तेरा करुण अवसान।

Bachchan used to call her “Joy” and she called him “Suffering” – why? Let’s find out! :-)

When Madhushala was translated in Russian – the title meant a bouquet of colors and the poem has all sorts of Roop, Rang, Ras, Gandh in her spirit.

चित्रकार बन साकी आता लेकर तूली का प्याला

And there is music in its poetry: पान कराती श्रोतागण को, झंकृत वीणा मधुशाला

Then we talk about how Madhushala is above and beyond all sorts of divisions, like in these two lines

मिले न मंदिर, मिले न मस्जिद, मिल जाती है मधुशाला

Or

चिर विधवा है मस्जिद तेरी, सदा सुहागिन मधुशाला

On the same topic of Mandir, Masjid – we also take a cue from Ghalib –

ज़ाहिद शराब पीने दे मस्जिद में बैठ कर, या वो जगह बता दे जहाँ पर ख़ुदा न हो

The poet kept his vow of not drinking ever again.

प्रण-प्रतिज्ञा ले निभाना भी उन्हें मै जानता हूँ, आत्मबल की कर परीक्षा पूर्ण उनको ठानता हूँ!

There is also a poetic description of different times of the day – Daybreak, Dusk, and after dark. The poet has beautifully weaved an otherwise boring day into familiar symbols of Madhushala.

साकी बन आती है प्रातः जब अरुणा ऊषा बाला,
उतर नशा जब उसका जाता, आती है संध्या बाला,
तारकदल से पीनेवाले, रात नहीं है, मधुशाला

Then a verse about Shri Krishna and who all Madhushala can make dance to her tunes!

योगिराज कर संगत उसकी नटवर नागर कहलाए, देखो कैसों-कैसों को है नाच नचाती मधुशाला

He started drinking years after Madhushala but gave it up around the year 1944, as a sacrifice for something – now that’s linked with Amitabh Bachchan, and how?

We will also go over the beauty of Himalayas and Kanchanjangha as depicted in the poetry of Madhushala, with quotes from Dinkar, Kalidasa, and Iqbal, such as:

मेरे नगपति! मेरे विशाल! साकार दिव्य गौरव विराट!
पौरुष के पुंजीभूत ज्वाल, मेरी जननी के हिम-किरीट, मेरे भारत के दिव्य भाल!

Somebody complained to Gandhi ji that Madhushala is an alcoholic’s poetry. Bachchan was terrified when Gandhi ji summoned him but he went ahead to meet him. Gandhi ji asked him to recite some of his poems, Bachchan smartly picked up two verses. Do take a listen to know which ones were those :-)

Abhyuday Press where Bachchan Ji used to work, was dilly dallying for a year, so Bachchan had to take the matter in his own hands – using all possible resources at his disposal and with friends, he founded a press called “Sushma Nikunj”, which became the first publisher of Madhushala, and subsequently of Madhubala and Madhukalash.

Then we talk about the symbols used here, such as, skies, earth, stars and an interdependent eco-system, the Yin-Yang kind of relationship via Madhushala.

झड़ी लगाकर बरसे मदिरा रिमझिम, रिमझिम, रिमझिम कर, बेलि, विटप, तृण बन मैं पीऊँ, वर्षा ऋतु हो मधुशाला

We are also talking about Bachchan ji reliving his past when he sees his dead friends Karkal and Champa into his new friends Shri Krishna and Rani. Kind of Augmented Reality!

आँखों के आगे हो कुछ भी, आँखों में है मधुशाला

Welcome to the 4th episode of Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan's epic poetry - Madhushala (मधुशाला), written in 1935, and part of the trilogy of Madhubalaand Madhukalash.
