Mansai Na Diva

Rate this book
માણસાઈના દીવા :- મારું મુખ્ય ધ્યેય આને દસ્તાવેજની મહત્તા આપવાનું છે. એ દસ્તાવેજ છે – બનેલી ઘટનાનો, લોક્માંનાસનો, જનતાના માંનોવિષ્લેષણોનો અને જનતાની ભાષાનો. લેખકે કેવળ માધ્યમરૂપે જ પોતાની મર્યાદાનું પાલન કર્યું છે. માનસશાસ્ત્રના, માનવવંશના, જાતિઓ અને કોમોના આભ્યાસ-આવલોકનનું જેઓને કંઈ મૂલ્ય હોઈ તેવાઓને આ મહારાજની કહેલી કથાઓ સાદર કરું છુ.

Jhaverchand Meghani (Gujarati: ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણી; August 28, 1896 – March 9, 1947) was a noted poet, litterateur, social reformer and freedom fighter from Gujarat. He is a well known name in the field of Gujarati literature. He was born in Chotila. Mahatma Gandhi spontaneously gave him the title of Raashtreeya Shaayar (National Poet).[1] Besides this he received many awards like Ranjitram Suvarna Chandrak and Mahida Paaritoshik in literature. He authored more than 100 books. His first book was a translation work of Rabindranath Tagore's ballad Kathaa-u-Kaahinee titled Kurbani Ni Katha (Stories of martyrdom) which was first published in 1922. He contributed widely to Gujarati folk literature. He went from village to village in search of folk-lores and published them in various volumes of Saurashtra Ni Rasdhar.[2] He was also the Editor of Phoolchhab Newspaper of Janmabhoomi group (which is being published till date from Rajkot).
A sample of his collection of folk tales from Saurashtra has recently been published in an English, with the translation done by his son Vinod Meghani. The three volumes published so far are titled A Noble Heritage, A Shade Crimson and The Ruby Shattered.[3]

નવલકથા વાંચયા પછી જીવનમાં એક નવા સૂર્યોદયનો અનુભવ થયો.

અદભૂત લેખન

ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણીના પ્રતાપે આજે જે મને રવિશંકર મહારાજને જાણવા મળ્યા છે તે અનુભવ અદભૂત છે.

રવિશંકર મહારાજના સંસ્મરણો સાંભળી મારા રૂવાડા ઊભા થઈ ગયેલા અને તેમની સેવાવુતિનો કોઈ જોડ મળે તેમ નથી. એક એક પ્રસંદ તમને વિચારતો કરે છે કે આજથી સોએક વર્ષ પહેલાના માનવીઑ કેવું જીવન જીવતા હતા, કેટલી તકલીફો અને છતાં કેવી રીતે એ લોકો જીવી જાણતા હતા..

છેલ્લે એટલું કહીશ કે જે લોકો સામાન્ય સેવા કરી સોસિયલ મીડિયામાં ફાકા મારે છે એ રવિશંકર મહારાજ પાસેથી સેવાનો મર્મ સમજે..!

Most humane book ever. It is the work of Jhaverchand Meghani. It is the story of the Ravishankar Maharaj and his work in tribal areas of Gujarat around independence of India. Author narrates life and his experience with Maharaj. The books questions the very core of humanity.
It teaches us that , " Jan seva e j Prabhu seva".(serving fellow is serving God).
