Chandra Mohan Raturi ‘Manmauji’: Keats of Garhwali Poetry.

Critical and Chronological History of Modern Garhwali Poetry –11

                    Literature Historian:  Bhishma Kukreti

            Chandra Mohan Raturi was said to be a bold poet in illustrating the fact (Bahuguna, Shailvani). Chandra Mohan Raturi was born in 1880 in village Godi, Tehri Garhwal, Asia. Raturi expired in 19120 at early age.

   Chandramohan Raturi created Poems as -

Devban Varnan

Virah Vasant Vilap

Fyunli Dali

Garhwal ka saccha kaviyon se Prarthna

Saula Ki Shikar

Manushy Jiwan ki Neeti

Darvan Singh ku Victoria Cross

Teeri se Vida and more

 His poems are emotional.  He was expert of Chivalry and patriotic raptures. Due to using more figures of speech, his poems are not understood by common readers.   Gairola put the place of Chandra Mohan Raturi with Shaily and Keats.

गढ़वाळ का सच्चा कवियों से प्रार्थना (July 1910 की कविता ) 

     रचयिता -- चंद्रमोहन रतूड़ी  (गोदी , टिहरी 1880 -1920 ) 

क्या हम कवि पुत्र सरस्वती का ब्रह्मा की अंधी अर काळि सृष्टि का आँख मुखीर स्वयं विधाता -
क्या हमन कैकि करणी अपेक्षा ?क्या छन स्त्रियों का मुख नेत्र पद्म,बिना हमारी प्रतिभा की किरणयों ?क्या बीरू का कर्म विचित्र अद्भुत,बिना हमारी फिरदार बाणी ?हे नी छ क्या या प्रकृति ही सारी,निर्जीव बेढंग अर शून्य जंगळ देवत्व , सौंदर्य , सहानुभूति -
संचारणी शक्ति बिना हमारी ?तजिक तब सब ग्लानि , लीक बाणी की बीणा प्रमुदित मन से आपुच्च स्वरसे ही अपणा परबत बण गंगा बद्री केदार राजा सब भड़ गढ़ का यै देश की कीर्ति गायैं। .
(चंद्रमोहन रतूड़ी जीक कविता क्लिष्ट ही छन) 

         Chandramohan Raturi was a great social worker, Garhwali lover, patriotic, liberal and was having many more human qualities. His contemporary loved Raturi a lot. That is why Devendra Saklani (another Garhwali poet) wrote a long sad poem on the death of Chandra Mohan Raturi.

करुणा ?

(श्री चंद्रमोहन रतूड़ी के स्वर्गारोहण पर श्री देवेन्द्र सकलानी की कविता के अंश )

हा ! हा ! हमारा गढ़ का उजाला ,

सपूत प्यारा गढ़ मातृ -भू का ! 

आत्मीय भाई गढ़वालियों का , 

हा ! चंद्रमोहन कख गै तू हाय ! 

कै गोद सुन्नी निज मातृ भूमि को ,

रुवै निराशा सब इष्ट मित्रु कू 

अयोग्य अपणा नित पैक शीघ्र तू 

असार संसार कु छोड़िगे अहो ! 

(गढ़वाली कवितावली १९३२ से साभार )
