William Blake and Sant Kavi Lakshmi Sakhi

Both William Blake and Sant Lakshmi Sakhi belong to two different religions, cultures, and climes, but their views and visions, images, and imaginations have very close conformity in both matter and manner, which make the readers mesmerized in the realms of spiritualism, mysticism, and literature. William Blake was the late 18th century and early 19 th Century mystic and spiritual poet whose classic work " Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience" dealt with spiritualism, mysticism, and romanticism in its rich manifestations with meaning and message not only to the contemporary age but even today in this dry and monotonous age of materialism. Similarly, Sant Kavi Lakshmi Sakhi, the great saint of the Bhojpuri language, was the 19 th Century mystic and spiritual poet whose four classic divine works, namely Amar Sidhi, Amar Kahani, Amar Bilas, and Amar Faras, are milestones in the field of spiritual and mystical poetry often suffused with the colour and craftsmanship of the various tools and devices of great art and literature. Unfortunately, the language Bhojpuri in which Sant Lakshmi Sakhi has poured his thoughts and messages woven into the fabric of art and beauty, is marginalized today in Bihar, and such classic works that need to be restored, preserved, and upgraded for posterity are in utter negligence.
