Swami Oma The Akk on Urdu Ishq, Mir, Ghalib and Iqbal
Swamy Oma The Akk speaks about Urdu like an unseen beloved. Close, fragrant, and felt even when you cannot fully hold it. Live at Jashn e Rekhta, he maps Urdu poetry through three pillars. Meer for loss, longing, surrender, and the ache of the past. Iqbal for courage, hope, and the pull of the future. Ghalib for the present. Sharp, playful, and fearless enough to question God while admitting his own contradictions.
He also brings in the Yamuna as a living metaphor. Even when a river is stained, it still flows. Love and meaning still move through us. He credits Rekhta for making Urdu easier to access through Devanagari, Roman script, and digital archives.
