Ghatotkacha’s life reminds us that greatness is not measured by length, but by purpose. Though his time was short, his sacrifice changed the course of the battle. Some lives leave an impact far greater than their years.

Suryakant Tripathi (1899 – 1961) was a Bengali poet, writer, composer, and sketch artist who would learn to write in Hindi. Tripathi was born at Mahishadal Midnapore, Bengal Presidency. He was born into a Kanyakubja Brahmin family. His father, Pandit Ramsahaya Tripathi, was a government servant and his mother had passed away when he was very young. Tripathi was educated in the Bengali medium at Mahishadal Raj High School of Mahishadal, the princely state in Purba Medinipur. He would soon move to Lucknow, to go live in his father's home village of Gadhakola in the Unnao district. Tripathi was married at the age of 15, and learned Hindi at the request of his wife Manohara Devi. He soon started writing poems in Hindi, instead of Bengali. Tripathi had a happy life with his wife and his daughter Saroj. But his family life was short lived when he lost his wife and daughter at 22 during the 1918 Spanish Flu Outbreak. Deeply devastated with the loss of his family, Tripathi found solace in following the words of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda, and Rabindranath Tagore. Later he developed a deep affinity with nature. And would become a harsh critique of social injustice.These themes were reflected in his writings and would become very influential in Indian society. Tripathi was considered one of the four major pillars of the Chhayavad period in Hindi literature. And is renowned with the epithet Mahapran added to his pen name Nirala. He possessed a mastery of traditional poetic meters, with many of his compositions adhering to these forms He also revolutionised Hindi poetry by pioneering the use of free verse, becoming the first Hindi poet to do so, demonstrating that poetry could retain its' poetic essence and rhythm even without rhyming lines. Tripathi's poetry illustrated a profound connection with the living spirits of nature. Mystical poems, rich with the devotion of medieval Bhakti poetry, explored, metaphysical framework that aligned with his Advaita beliefs. His most famous works are his poems Sandhya Sundari, Juhi ki kali, Yamini jagi and Ram ki sakti Puja. Tripathi was also an accomplished musician who composed songs using the harmonium. His anthology of songs, titled Gitika was published in 1936 and features a collection of his musical works.

The Nirvana Buddha of Kushinagar is a large murti of Gautama Buddha in a reclining position as he enters Mahaparinirvana at 80 years old. The image was constructed around 637 A.D. King Ashoka had traveled to the village of Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh to visit the place of the Buddha's death in 260 B.C.E. In order to honor the site he had several caityas, stupas built. Later the site was expanded during the time of the Gupta Empire (320-647) C.E. The site was a famous Buddhist pilgrimage in its day being visited and described by the Chinese Monk Hwen Thsang. And depicted in the 14th century Mongol Chronicle Jami al- Tawarikh written by Rashid al- Din Hamadani. The site was completely forgotten about over the centuries until it was rediscovered by the British Archaeologist Sir Alexander Cunningham in 1876. Cunningham had observed a number of large vaulted chambers in Kushinagar, of which inside he discovered pieces of a statue that had been scattered about. The site along with the statue was reconstructed in 1877 to reveal a 6.1 meter (20ft) red sandstone image of the Buddha in a resting position, getting ready to enter to the state of Nirvana. It was then determined that the long lost site of the Buddha's final resting place had been rediscovered. The temples and stupas were then repaired by the Archaeological Survey of India. In 1956 to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of the event the Indian Government built a new Parinirvana Stupa Temple and placed the Buddha statue within it. Covering the stone with gold inlay plating to help preserve it, the statue was placed upon a stone couch with it's head facing to the north. Here it is visited by hundreds if not thousands of tourists a year some on pilgrimage and some just to visit the wondrous sites found at Kushinagar.

The Lotus Sutra

I am the father of the world,
The best of the sages.
All sentient beings are my children.
They are deeply attached to worldly pleasures
And have no wisdom.
There is no peace in the triple world,
Just like in the burning house,
Which is full of various suffering
And which is extremely terrifying.
There are always the sufferings
Of birth, old age, illness, and death.
Such fires as these burn endlessly.
The Tathāgata, who has already left
The burning house of the triple world,
Lives in tranquility
And dwells at ease in the forest.
Now this triple world is my property
And the sentient beings in it are my children.
There are now many dangers here
And I am the only one who can protect them.
Although I give them advice,
They do not accept it,
Because they are tainted with desires
And have deep attachments.
On this occasion
I teach the three vehicles
Using skillful means.
Realizing the sufferings of the triple world,
I reveal and explain it
To cause sentient beings to
Escape from the mundane path.

He also sometimes holds his hands in abhaya mudra (fearless gesture) or varada mudra (gifting gesture). Ishana rides upon a white bull though he is sometimes seen only seated in Padmaasana (lotus posture). Ishana is the destroyer of the jivas, this he achieves by speaking pure wisdom to them which grants salvation upon all those who seek to attain it. His position as the fifth face of Shiva associates him with Akasha the element of Ether. Ishana is one of the Dikpalas (guardians of directions) and controls the direction of the Northeast.
