Incineration of Love God Madan Cupid 7

Incineration of Indian Love God Madan (Cupid) 7 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’ 07 Buds were all smiling to bloom and To welcome the Lord of the day, By opening their pretty mouths To absorb the dew bubbles kissing their faces. The living and even the lifeless too, Were all fascinated by the charms of Nature, Madan* entered in such an intoxicating arena, And became mad with the flowing passion. But finding Shiva* in deep meditation, He thought about his domination, And its influence on the entire living being, Which exists on this pretty Earth. Ravindra Kanpur India 27th April 2012 To continue………. Protected under the copy write provisions of Poetry Soup as per US laws. Clarifications: Madan*- Hindi name of the Love God Cupid Shiva*- The Lord of destruction and creation as per Indian mythology.

Ravindra, this continued story has the reading power I can't resist~ it keeps drawing me in. I found beauty in the way life can count on one's meditation. (nature at her best) One can live and charm her way into existence, as she becomes available with full flowing passion ahead. A man can only wish to dominate such earthly beauty, in which he knows exactly what he wants. And, fully determain not to quit until he fulfills his ways, without the madness. beauty always defies the beast, always PD
