Born in Bhavnagar on May 7, 1890, Sumatibehan, a rare creator of Gujarati literature, was only twenty-one years old. Died on 9th July 1911 after a painful long illness. The author, who started creating at the age of seventeen and took up Jeevanlila Sankeli at the age of twenty-one, gives a heartwarming introduction to her blossoming creativity through her creations.

To have such a gifted poetess in an age of orthodoxy and illiteracy and in an age surrounded by illiteracy and stereotypes of women, would seem a miracle. Moreover, the special surprise is that Sumatibehan, who introduced her high imagination and creativity in the period of only four years of creation, had to face one after another similar circumstances in life. He lost his mother's cherished umbrella at the very beginning of his life. I saw the untimely death of my sister in front of me. Physical ailments beset him. Shortness of breath, stomach ailment and finally the fatal illness of TB. Due to such a situation, the tendency of her mind also became more playful in compassion, but this young writer overcame the sufferings of the body and moved her mind to the joy of creation with the power of her faith. Usually the creator has to go through pain and suffering for his creation, but here there is creation after pain of body and mind. As soon as the pain of Kshardeha is over, it becomes absorbed in Kshardeha. He used to say that he had the power to compose a beautiful poem immediately after the severe pain of the disease.

Let's imagine that about one hundred and ten years ago, what will be the creativity of this writer who provided literature in the form of short story, drama, poetry, translation and travelogue? If his art of life had not faded away in a short time, then Gujarati literature would have received such a creation from him at that time!

This was the era when it was believed that 'a brother's mind is in geography and a woman's heart is in the hearth.' A man's mind is in tune with the movement of the world and a woman's life begins and ends within the four walls of the house! At that time, Sumatibehan did not get a special opportunity from school education, but due to the student atmosphere at home, her love of reading was nurtured more and more. Studied Sanskrit language and literature under Anantaprasad, a Vaishnava of Mangarol, and after that his literary interest was nurtured by his father and his learned friends. The absence of classic works of English and Sanskrit literature contributed to the curation of his creativity. Poet Browning and Mrs. Browning's poems got a chance to be enjoyed by her father's friend Barjorji Padshah. Benefited from knowledge like Gopalkrishna Gokhale, on the other hand the study or meditation of Vedas- Upanishads and Gita resulted in such strong faith in the diseased Sumatibehan that he believed, 'Both my medicine and medicine are Lord.'

Due to the loss of his mother at a young age, the color of Vairagya continued to stir in his heart and was revealed in a devotional way. At the end of a book, he declared 'Vibhu! Wrote a poem named 'Muj Kar Saho' -

'Tuj sharne such taat! Vibhu muj kar saho!

Bhum the darkness of darkness, take out the dust

Knowing all things, abandoning ego,

I want to do what I want, ever so dear,

Vibhu muj kar saho.'

The image of his heart is seen in the 'Arpana Patrika' of the vocal texts written by him. Gopalakrishna Gokhale has dedicated a social novel titled 'Kamalkumar' and notes that he opened up the treasure of Ibsen's plays to give peace to the diseased daughter of his dearest friend. At that time in Anand magazine 'A.Sau'. His works were published in the name of Sumati.

Born in the family of Sir Lallubhai Shamaldas and granddaughter of Rao Bahadur Bholanath Sarabhai and sister of Vaikunthbhai Mehta, Gaganvihari Mehta and Jyotindra Mehta, Sumatibehan has four works like Lagunval in the first decade of the twentieth century. Stories like 'Suresh and Yashodhara', 'Shantida', 'Paramarthni Pratibha and Atmabhogani Pariseema' and 'Kamalkumar' are found. In these stories, there is a story that pulls the reader into its flow, but along with it, the prose of the short stories is also a proof of Sumatibehan's creativity. According to the style of painting of that time, the writer paints her thoughts in detail, but in all these works 'Shantida' is a story of married life with a beautiful shape.

Sumatibehan studied Vedanta, also reciting Upanishads, Vedanta hymns of Purvacharyas in the morning, 'Shrimad Bhagwat' in the afternoon. Suffered physical pain for four hours a day. He could not sleep till three o'clock in the night, when he used to sing Hariguna in a low tone and fell asleep enjoying it.

His method of writing was such that he would first become engrossed with the entire plot of the work, then write down the sequence of chapters in his first notebook, and then complete the text, flowing like the flow of the Ganges. Also, when he got space, he used to embroider, sew, and paint, and thought that the kind God was giving some direct support and comfort to the mind in one way or another. But indirectly, it is hopeful in itself.

Thus, the practice of Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga continued. He took full responsibility for his brother Vaikuntharai's marriage in Bhavnagar. A year or so ago, he had prepared his budget and all of it, so that his planning power was also appreciated.

Sumatibehan traveled to South India and composed poetry while sitting in a doli, which resulted in the first collection of poems titled 'Prabhu Prasadi' in 1909 and the second volume of 'Prabhu Prasadi' the following year. In these poems, there is a playful depiction of nature, the feeling of love for relatives, faith in God and the state of one's own psychological pain. It depicts a woman struggling with pain in the face of imminent death. In this situation, the pain of the dying poet along with her journey is depicted. Only that this poetic power of his dissipated before the freshness of originality dissipated. After that another collection of his 58 works titled 'Hridayajarna' was published after his death. 'Madhuri' and 'Arvindkumar' i.e. 'Chinpeun Enshnazrape' along with such strong urmipradhan composition of Sumatibehan. A three-part drama like ' is found. The influence of Nhanalal's play 'Indukumar' is evident from the 'natural movement of the heart' of the flamboyant 'Madhuri' play writer. It shows the romantic style of poet Nhanalal,

So the influence of Ibsen's style is seen in his second play 'Arvindkumar'. Thus, Sumatibehan shows ease in the drama style of the other end, in stark contrast to the play 'Madhuri'. Writing plays in two completely different genres at such a young age is nothing like that.

Apart from this, the author's travelogue can be seen in the book 'Dakshinyatra' written by Sumatibehan. His father insisted on writing this and it resulted in the creation of the travel book 'Dakshin Yatra'. It contains detailed information from different places, while Sumatibehan's translation of 'Virtuous Women' was published by the Gujarat Vernacular Society which depicts the character of virtuous women abroad. About Mrs. Wordsworth, the wife of the poet William Wordsworth, or the character of the reformer Hannah Moore. Apart from this, the Shatak translation of three sargas is found as 'Yadvabhyudaya' and 'Divyameshapalbal'. Ten works have been published except the last two of these volumes, one can enjoy watching the character of a writer who rose to prominence in a short life and created various forms of literature in the first decade of the twentieth century amidst many setbacks in life.

Revelation of the moment

The word Ragashia means slow, slow and sluggish and when associated with 'Ragashia Gadan', an extremely slow action. Some people's lives are like ragshia gada. There is nothing innovative in it to make them enthusiastic. Both the body and the mind are relaxed by spreading the sheet of laziness. They have no dream of future and no ambition in life.

There is no lack of intelligence or cleverness in them, but lack of purpose. He builds a fort around himself and believes in fun, fun and itishri. He enjoys sitting in the stadium seats, but does not enjoy the games at home. He walks with a crowd of people. Seeing the feet of the sheep walking in front of him, the sheep behind him walks, in the same way he walks one by one year after year.

The question is, are you born to live a normal life? Do you have no energy? In fact, those who lead a life like ordinary luxury cars are deceiving themselves and are cut down by laziness. When there is a lot of capacity in our life. In fact, life is the greatest gift we have received and it is neglected here. Changing the lifestyle and embracing new dreams is the only way out of this.

Manzrukho

The parents of Maxim Gorky, the famous Russian creator, died at a young age. He was brought up by his grandfather. He started working from the age of nine. Dishes were eaten on the ship's deck and bread was baked in the bakery. After that he got a job at Kabadi and hundreds of books were coming here every day.

Seeing these books, Maxim Gorky's mind became eager to read. As soon as he finished his work, he used to read books in whatever time he got, on the day he did not get the convenience of reading a book, he felt that the day had passed.

There were some books that the young Gorky could not understand, but he tried to understand them by reading them again and again and while doing so, he read countless books while staying in this kabaddi shop and thought in his mind that now I should start writing a little.

His original name was Aleksei Maximovich Peshkov, but he began writing under the name Gorky (bitter). His story appeared in the newspaper and a few days later a famous writer came and congratulated him for writing a beautiful story. Gorky's enthusiasm grew. Now he concentrated all his attention on writing and studying. This is the only marriage in mind.

As a result, his stories appeared in Tiflis newspapers and Pittsburgh magazines. His works written on the basis of self-experience began to be widely appreciated. Gorky's autobiographies, novel 'Ma' and plays like 'Unda Andhathethi' made him a world famous writer.

Revolutionaries like Lenin believed that the work of Maxim Gorky had a great contribution to the social and political changes that took place in Russia.
