A Eulogy

In 1940, Anantrao Ramakrishna Kale came to Gujarat as an
engineer and then joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as
a Pracharak. He left for heavenly abode on 12 September. At
the time of his departure towards Undeel, Taluka Devgarh,
district Singhdurg (Maharashtra), the pen found itself helpless
to write this dedication:

How pleasing it is to see
A river
Laughing…jumping…running…
Making a happy noise
Enriching the land.
The scenery is enchanting
To see the swiftly flowing river
Meet the infinite ocean.
The eyes are filled with
The scenery of pretty sights,
And you remember the time of sunrise.
The blood-coloured sky,
The noise of birds,
The movement of cows going back,
The touch of the delicate rays
Coming through the particles of dust,
How pleased they all feel!
The sun’s brightness at noon
Dazzles the eyes,
The sun goes on without a rest
And then
