‘A psalm of life’ is great poem written by H. W. Longfellow in 19th century. The poet is worshiped by Americans.
Looks as if there is some similarity in Bhaavaartha between “dONi saagali…………” and
“A psalm of……”
Can U see what I am seeing?
yes, i do.. here is the poem.. a great one indeed !
Not only ‘dONi saagali….’ it has lines similar to what Sri Krishna said to
Arjuna, his disciple. Arjuna, symbolically represents ‘the common man’ who is facing a dilemma, confusion, conflict in his own mind….to do or not to do……..to kill or not to kill……..run away or stay back and fight. A psalm of life……..is like that of famous Song of life, The Gita.
Of course Indians have this trait of saying ” all that is being told now has been told by our Sages centuries or millenniums ago. But the similarity, although coincidental, can be excused on the basis of identical thinking behavior in two persons who are separated by centuries and thousands of miles.
