Critical History of Garhwali , Kumaoni, Himalayan Literature

Mahesh Tiwadi : A Poet , Singer, and a Composer
Bhishma Kukreti

Mahesh Tiwadi had been a prominent figure of composing music for Garhwali plays staged between eighties and twenties in Delhi . However, Mahesh Tiwadi was also a poet and his poems are emotional, melodious, with realism and many poems are so provocative that the readers feel restlessness. Most of his poems are in tune of Geet style . Mahesh used pure Garhwali words and avoided to use Hindi words in his poems.
Mahesh Tiwadi was born in a Himalayan village Pokhari, Patti Sitounsyun of British Garhwal (Pauri Garhwal) in 1943. Mahesh Tiwadi got music and lyric training from Dharni Dhar Chandola the famous Garhwali music director, innovator of music instrument -Vichitra Bela and a painter.
The people never forget the services of Mahesh Tiwadi for providing music to tens of Garhwali dramas and cultural programs as Ardhgrameshwar , Lati ko Byau, Dyur Bhauj staged in Delhi, Lucknow, Kanpur Mumbai etc. Akashvani relayed many musical programs and poems of Mahesh Tiwadi . Mahesh worked with Akashvani till his death on 14th December 1997. Mahesh tiwadi had been a very famous poet of Garhwali Kvisammelans too .
Mahesh Tiwadi created many Garhwali Geet for cultural programs and Garhwali plays. Mahesh wrote more than hundred poems but he could never publish his geet and poems in his life time . However, Garhwali Sahitya Parishad Kanpur published fiftee three poems of Mahesh Tiwadi by the name ‘Vedi Ma ka Vachan’.
Mahesh Tiwadi created poems of varied subjects as ruining of villages due to migration, fast declining of the cultural values and idealism in he society, destruction of natural environment ,geographical beauty of Garhwal , inspiriting poems, Uttarakhand separate state movement, relationship -importance and reality of breaking the old culture about relationship. Mahesh always, tried to be near realism and avoided unnecessary intellectual fantasy creation his poems.
His poem about Ganga is an example of his innovative thinking and creating provocation through realism in life. Most of Garhwali and even Hindi/Sanskrit poets of Garhwal or elsewhere praised reverend rive Ganga but Mahesh revealed a new aspect of Ganga for Garhwalis

aryaun ku lagai hola tin amrit ki dhara ssss
Bhag ma hamari aini tera dhunga ar gara sssss
Tu che bal s matami kilai boli hola badon
Kya kam aun hamari , bol tera ganglwadan sssss

The poet says that though Ganga have been eternal river for Aryans , Ganga have been a reverend river , Ganga have been a source of water for half of Northern and eastern India but for Garhwal, Ganga is worthless and provide stones and stones.
Mahesh also took clue from exclusive style and subject of Garhwali folk song Baramsa and wrote poems on those lines too.

baudi aigen chait ki chaitwali, dalyun uli gen general
Bhiti bhorin fyunli ka fulun, dandi mauli gen bugyal

His style is limited to Geet and melody has been the primary objective of Mahesh Tiwadi. In a couple of case, Mahesh seems be influenced by Expressionism but most of his poems are influenced by realism . Mahesh Tiwadi never avoided hum in his poetry to make them melodious.
Mahesh is the master of creating emotions , pathos, love in the reader’s mind and narrating geographical beauty of Garhwal.

Girish Sundriyal : A Modern Garhwali Geet Creator

(A Review of Garhwali, Kumaoni, Himalayan Literature)
Bhishma Kukreti

Madan Duklan the editor of Hamari Chitthi says that Girish Sundriyal is the strong pillar of contemporary Garhwali poetry and representative of new generation. Girish Sundriyal deals with various subjects in his poetries and does many experiments in poetic form and style. Girish is called the expert of using ornamental Garhwali poetry and marvelously uses metaphors, simile and onomatopoeia in his poetic version.
Girish Sundriyal was born in May, 1968 in Churedgaun, Ringwadsyun Patti of Pauri Garhwal, Himalaya. Sundriyal is M.A in English, Hindi and Sanskrit . Sundriyal is lecturer in Garhwal, Himalaya.
Girish Sundriyal started publishing his poems from his early youth and published his Garhwali poems in periodicals as Hilans, Dhad, Chitthi Patri, Hamari Chitthi, Sahara, Nav Bharat Times, Samy Saxi, Though, Girish has written essays and stories in Garhwali but he is identified and respected for his Garhwali Geet. Girish is also appreciated to pull the crowds in Garhwali Kavi Sammelan across all cities of India.
So far, Girish Sundriyal published two volumes of collections of Garhwali language poetries - Anwar (2006) and Maulyar ( 2008). Both collections of Garhwali language poetries are marvelous pieces of world literature . There are seventy two poems in Anwar and fifty two poems in Maulyar .All poems are of different subjects of rural Garhwal and different moods of society and the poet too. The Garhwali language critics as Madan Duklan and Bhishma Kukreti positions Girish Sundriyal among Andrei Codrescu , Russell Edson and Maxine Chernoff for surrealism, Gwendolyn Brooks, Maya Angelou e,Detric Hughes, Lyn Hejilinian , Ron Silliman , Bob Perelman, Adrianne Rich, Jean Valentine, L Ephemere , Andre du Bauchet, Jaques Duplin,Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, George Oppen, Tahnasis Athanasious, Dimitris Lyacos, Alaxis Stamatis, Antonis Fostieris , Cesare Pavese, Giuseppe Ungaretti , Eric Mottram, Simon Armitage , Kathleen, Jamie , Jacob Polly, Perdika Press in terms of bringing modernity, doing experiments, multicultural poetries etc.
The poems of Girish Sundriyal are also translated in English . The specialty of poems of Girish are that they are melodious and with simple, understandable wordings . Girish Sundriyal never hesitates in doing experiments with Garhwali poetry creation but never leaves melody. Sundriyal wrote Gazals in Garhwali too and he is effective making much bigger picture by few words.
Madan Duklan surmises about poetries of Girish Sundriyal, “ the songs of Shri Girish are adorned with metaphor, simile and onomatopoeias etc. His love songs are the matchlessly creative, .it can rightly be said that Girish Sundriyal is the master of the love song maker of this century . The folk colour and lure of Garhwal, Himalaya are preserved in his heart, that is why he is able to create such marvelous and wonderful songs--

She has tolen my youth
By squeezing it out of life
Now stricken by love she hums within…”

Spiritual and Philosophical Literature in Garhwali Language

Spiritual and Philosophical Literature in Garhwali Language
Bhishma Kukreti

Whenever there will be talk, discussion of philosophical literature or spiritual literature in Garhwal or Garhwali, Dhol sagar will be first chapter , which has to be discussed first. However, there is least knowledge about the importance and reality of Dhol Sagar among Garhwalis. Garhwalis think that Dhol Sagar is related and for Auju or Das caste. In fact, Dhol Sagar and other such literature is our real heritage of spiritualism, philosophical concept, the height of our religious thinking. Since, Dhol-Sagar and suc literature was sung and protected by Auji society, less attention was given to these marvelous pieces of oral literature, which is more than thousand years available literature in Garhwali and of Garhwal.
The Dhol Sagar is about the talk or discussion between lord Shiva and his wife Parvati about origin of galaxy and pain of human beings as is in Vigyan Bhairav
Parvati--are auji nahi sas nahi as
Nahin giri nahin kavilas
Sarvat dhund dhundkaram
Tai din ki utpati boli de
Shivji---hami onkar tain dhaudhokar
Nad-bund hami kvato, hami binto
Narakar nirnkar hamro naun
Nirakar te sakar sristi rachi lei
Rachi lei naukhand prithavi
You all will be surprised that Dhol Sagar contains the following subjects

1- The creation and concept of this galaxy
2-The creation of seven continents and nine main regions of the earth
3- Solar system and galaxy
4-Sixteen types of decoration, make up or Shrigar
5- Thirty two types of jewels and jewelries
6- Forty six types of Ragas or musical modes
7-Thirty six types of Raganiyan or transformation of musical modes
8-36 Musical Instruments
9-The chronological development of life and biological progression in this world
10-Sanyas and how to take it
11- Explanation of Yoga
12-Tal and their importance in our life

Dhol Sagar is nothing but expansion of Samved, the extract of philosophies of all Shat Darshan (Six Hindu Philosophies- Two Mimansa or Vedant Darshan, Vaishishiki, Nyayashastra, Shankhyaki, Patanjali’s Yogasamhita ), Upnishads, Gorakhvani, Nad-Bhairav, Vigyan Bhairav. Gorakhvani or the preaching of Guru Gorakhnath is the main source of creation of Dhol Sagar and other such oral literature
Since, there is description of music and musical instruments and make up science in this philosophical science, the modern Garhwalis did not write much about it and never did any attempt to popularize Dhol Sagar out of Garhwali societies except some references provided by Mohan Babulkar, Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna , madna Chandra Bhatt, Dr Shanti Prasad Chandola.

Keshav Anuragi is called the main source of bringing Dhol Sagar in lime light among Intellectuals of Garhwal and other societies. Dr Vishsnu Datt Kukreti is called the master of Dhol Sagar and other such literature. Recently, Recently, in Shailvani Kotdwara, Vijay Das has written in details about Dhol Sagar and other such Garhwal’s original philosophical oral literature.

Uttam Das of Savali Tihri is progressing marvelously for popularizing Dhol Sagar .
Apart from Dhol Sagar, following oral philosophical , spiritual manuscripts of Garhwal in Garhwali language of past are also discovered by researchers as Dr Vishnu Datt Kukreti:

1- Dhol Sagar
2- Damau Sagar
3-Ukhail
4-Bairi Binash
5- Jogeshwari Sakhi
6-Ghat Staphana
7-Nadbud
8-Chaudiyabeer Masan
9-Samain
10-Indrajal
11-Kamrup jap
12-Saidwali
13-Mahavidya
14-Narsingh ki Chauki
15-Ath Hanmant
16- Bhairavali
17-Narsingwali
18-Chhidrawali
19- Anchharwali
20-Mochwali
21- Rakhwali
22-Maimda Rakhwali

30-Ganit Prakash
31-Sankracharj bidhi
32-Dariyau
33-Olyachar
34-Bhavuna Beer
35-Mantra Goril kai
36-Panchmukhi Hanuman
37-Bhairvastak
38-Dadiya Mantra
39-Saub Jadu Ukhel
40-Sabdiyan
41-Ap Raksha

45-Lochda ki Baidai
46-Hauri mantar
47- Guru Paduka
48-Shrinath ko Suklesh
49-Nath nighantu
50-Daint sanghar

Dr Vishnu Datt Kukreti proved that these types of literature was available in Garhwal before year 750AD .
An example of such spiritual and philosophical prose is :
om namoh guru ko juhar
Vidya ku namsakar
Kala kalua, kali rati
Toi hankaro re kalua adi raati
Hatai gosa ko deemad leejai
Turant mero kaj kari deejai
Mero satur bairi ko mush baithi
Charai hat paun bantho
Nali gali ko bantho

परसी ओंकी चिटटी आइ

परसी ओंकी चिटटी आइ, कि रुडियों माँ मिन घौर औन.
मि त हकोदक छुं, कि ऊकु मिन क्या जू खिलोन.
सावन औंदा भादो औंदा, काखड़ी मुंगरी खे कि जांदा.
सायद च कि नौकरी छूटी, घौर नि औंदा त कख दी जांदा.

ब्यो से पैली खबर छे , कि नौनु बडू होसियार च.
थोड़ा भौत बिग्दियों छो, पर अब त कमोदर च
एनु लेगी द्यो जब ह्वेगी ब्यो, खीसा उंका झाडे गेनि.
रूप्या पेंसा जुलम बात, खीसा भी मिन फत्या पैनी.

लोक्हू भाग्यनु चा, चीनी,चोणी, मिठे लती कपरी.
चूडी, झुमकी, धोति साड़ी जरा दगड़ा माँ नरयूले कत्री.
छट, छटकि जिकुड़ी मेरी, जनि ओंकू झोला खोळी.
अपड़ी लती कपरी, धेरी, अर् मीकू थें मुन्डारे गोळी.

इना देसी चूले त नौंना अपड़ा हौल सिखा.
झूठ मूठे चलक फलक, बेटी वालू थें ना दिखा.
घौर बोण, साळी, खरक, पुन्गीरियों माँ हौल त लगली.
कभी इन आस त रौली कि आज रोटी बणी मिलली.
