छोट्या जीवाची साखळी...Anatomical Venus: B S Mardhekar After 60 Years

Today March 20 2016 is 60th Death Anniversary of B S Mardhekar (बा.सी.मर्ढेकर)

The following poem of BSM has appeared on this blog earlier.

"पोरसवदा होतीस
कालपरवांपावेतों;
होता पायांतही वारा
कालपरवांपावेतों.

आज टपोरले पोट,
जैसी मोगरीची कळी;
पडे कुशीँतून पायीं
छोट्या जीवाची साखळी.


पोरसवदा होतीस
कालपरवांपावेतों;
थांब उद्याचे माऊली,
तीर्थ पायांचे घेईतों."

[Poem no 27 from 'Kanhee Kavita' (कांही कविता)]


"पडे कुशीँतून पायीं
छोट्या जीवाची साखळी."


I remembered the poem above when I saw Dangerous Minds'  published essay ''Anatomical Venus: The gory idealized beauty of wax medical models" in June 2014.

                                                
  Artist/ Sculptor: Clemente Susini (1754-1814)  La Specola museum, Florence, Italy

Note the tiny fetus: छोट्या जीवाची साखळी!
