Abstract

Saint Bhima Bhoi's poetry is marked by its deep empathy and concern for the suffering of all beings, reflecting his philosophy of nonviolence and compassion. His poems convey a message of peace, justice, and harmony, urging people to embrace a philosophy of selfless deeds for the betterment of the whole world. One of his most notable poems which is inscribed on the wall of the United Nations Organisation: "Endless are the agonies and sorrows of the living. Who can bear to be a witness? Condemn my life to hell, but let the world be uplifted." expresses his philosophy of peace and nonviolence to the world. He believed that the true path to peace and harmony lies in recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings and embracing a philosophy of selfless action. Bhima Bhoi's teachings provide an insight of a more compassionate and inclusive society in a world where discrimination, social disputes, and injustice are pervasive. His ideology has the ability to make the world more peaceful and egalitarian by encouraging empathy and understanding among people and communities. Hence, this article aims to elucidate those poetic concepts by Bhima Bhoi that are crucial for fostering world peace.
