Obra Maestra - Today's Brilliant Contemporary and Modern Artist for Literature: Dr Debabrata Maji

In the quiet village of Deulpur, nestled in the heart of Howrah, India, a poet was born under the vast September sky on the 6th day of 1961. Dr. Debabrata Maji, an internationally celebrated poet and writer, did not merely walk the conventional path of life—he wove it into poetry, turning moments into metaphors, and experiences into verses that transcend borders and time. Today, he stands as a rising star in the literary world, embraced by the World Poetic Fraternity, recognized across continents, and adored by those who seek the beauty of words.

Though his heart beat in poetic rhythms, Dr. Maji first charted a different course—one governed by logic, precision, and numbers. As an engineer, he spent years constructing realities with calculations and steel, yet even in the most structured frameworks of his career, poetry lingered like a whisper in the wind. It called to him, urging him to turn his attention toward the intangible—toward emotions, humanity, and the soul of existence.

Upon retiring from his engineering career, he surrendered fully to the life his spirit had always craved—the life of a poet. And what a remarkable embrace it was! With the ink of his pen, he etched his name into the pages of global literature, earning accolades that most only dream of. Poetry was no longer just an art for him; it became his identity, his journey, his gift to the world.

The world has long recognized his brilliance. With ten Honorary Doctorates awarded from institutions across the globe, Dr. Maji is not only a poet but a scholar, a thinker, and a man who has reshaped the literary sphere with his depth of understanding. His contributions to literature have garnered nine prestigious Annual Literary Awards, each a testament to the impact of his words. The coveted Silver Saraswati further adorned his collection of honors, acknowledging his mastery in weaving poetic tapestries that resonate deeply with readers of all ages.

But recognition did not stop at accolades. His poetry transcended generations, touching hearts and stirring minds. Across the literary landscape, he has published seven poetry books—each received with warmth and admiration. Whether by seasoned scholars or young dreamers, his verses find a home in the minds of all who read them, carrying emotions that linger long after the last line.

Few poets ascend to the heights where their work is acknowledged across cultures and ideologies. Dr. Maji, however, has stood upon those summits, receiving some of the most prestigious literary honors in existence. His name graces the illustrious Bharat Gaurav Ishan Award, marking his contributions to India’s poetic heritage. The International Solidarity Award celebrates his ability to connect humanity through verse, while the Sarat Sahitya Ratna Award recognizes his influence in literature. His dedication to literary excellence earned him the Bengal Shiksha Gaurav, the International Kabi Ratna Award, and the Royal of Art and Literature Award.

And the honors continued—Bishwa Bongo Sahitya Award, William Shakespeare Award, Poet of Nature Award. Each recognition represents the unwavering respect and admiration he has earned, not only from literary circles but from the world at large.

Dr. Maji’s presence is not confined to ink and pages; he is a poet of the people, one whose words breathe life into gatherings, symposiums, and celebrations of literature. As a distinguished guest at numerous literary organizations, he shares his wisdom, his perspectives, and, most importantly, his poetry. His invitations extend beyond India’s borders, reaching readers and audiences abroad, where his words create bridges between cultures, reminding the world that poetry is, at its core, a universal language.

What sets Dr. Debabrata Maji apart is not just his accolades, nor is it simply the vast reach of his literary presence. It is his ability to channel the deepest human emotions—the love, the loss, the longing, the hope—into poetry that breathes and moves within the hearts of those who encounter it. His poems are not merely words; they are living entities, carrying the pulse of human experience.

From the quiet corners of Deulpur Village to the grand stages of literary gatherings across the world, Dr. Maji has crafted a legacy—a legacy not defined by titles or awards, but by the people whose hearts have been touched by his words.

And as his poetry continues to flow, so does his impact on the world. In each verse, Dr. Debabrata Maji is not simply writing; he is living. His poetry is his breath, his purpose, his gift to the universe.

"Maa"

By: Debabrata Maji 

Try to enrich the child's life

Make life always worry free.

Extend Love which never end

Always there when we needed.

With life is peace of mind

She is gentle, helpful and kind.

Feed the children, teach to walk

Never understood her love lack.

Never tolerate the child crying

Quick extend her effecting.

She is the ideal master to teach

At twilight near the child she reach.

Sky bursted arises fear to safe

Covered always with cloth care.

Love always is deep and real

Hard to analyse her inner feel.
