Poem
Incineration of Love God Madan ( Cupid ) Three of Many Originally written in Hindi by my late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor 1899 to 1994 English version by Ravindra K Kapoor. Prelude to this epic. According to Indian mythology Madan the Love God or Cupid was asked to divert the attention of Lord Shiva*, the supreme God of Hindus, who was lost in deep meditation, so that Lord Shiva may be requested to help the Gods from the attacks of the demon supreme immortal Tarakasur. However, when Madan disturbed Him in meditation Shiva became too furious and opened His third eye. Madan the Cupid God got burnt by the fire of the anger of his third eye. This epic reveals many interesting incidents about this story later in this series….. (Hindi Name) Madan Dahan Passion had not attained, Control over human life, Serene Love then prevailing, Was the ideal worship. Gold had not blackened, Mind and heart of humans, Service of all was then, Lives most glorious action. Work of Brahma* the creator, Was at the verge of completion, Vishnu* the preserver of Universe, Had created livelihoods for all. Ravindra Kanpur India 23rd April 2012 Protected under the copywrite provisions of Poetry Soup Clarifications: *Brahma- According to the Puranas, Brahma is self-born in the lotus flower. Another legend says that Brahma was born in water. A seed that later became the golden egg. From this golden egg.. The remaining materials of this golden egg expanded into the Brahman?a or Universe. * Vishnu -Vishnu is the supreme God of Hinduism. It describes Vishnu as the All-Pervading essence of all beings, the master of—and beyond—the past, present and future, one who supports, sustains and governs the Universe and originates and develops all elements within. Vishnu governs the aspect of preservation and sustenance of the universe, so he is called "Preserver of the universe".
