Prafulla Kumar Panda Biography

Dr Prafulla K. Panda, MA, M.Phil., Ph.D is the son of Mr. Krupasindhu Panda & Mrs Tulasi Panda. He is a College teacher by profession and a poet by passion, Dr Panda's poetic trajectory traverses across human life, society and beyond. His wide range of verses delve into intricacies of human relationship diving in its myriad shades of love, passion, emotion, mortality and death. At times he becomes otherworldly when he takes his readers on a poetic flight into the cosmic world of Nature and sketches a picturesque portrayal of its beauty and bounty. Exploration of socio- cultural and political avenues is yet another hallmark of his poetry. Like a mystic he never fails to surprise by blending the concrete with the abstract, the near with the far and the material with the spiritual.
For Dr Panda, poetry is not merely a tapestry of words but each word is a microcosm of the whole that opens the windows of eternal bliss and contentment. That poetry must be moulded in purest and sincere emotions and poetic sensibility in divine nature constitutes his poetic spirit.
