Incineration of Love God Madan Cupid 30

Incineration of Love God Madan Cupid 30
Originally written in Hindi by my late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor
1899 to 1994. The work was written in Hindi somewhere around 1965-70.

Editing and English version by Ravindra K Kapoor.


Hindi Title  ‘Madan Dahan’ 30



The sin does not die O’ Lord,
By killing the sinners of society,
Sinfulness will continue to live,
In multifarious ways and colors.

Why not, hate sin O Lord,
Instead of hating the sinner,
Wisdom has taught us all,
This simple lesson, O dear Lord.

The body of my most dear husband,
Will soon be consumed by flames,
And my widowhood would then appear,
How then your boon would prove true.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/19/2012 7:14:00 PM It's an interesting concept that this Lord hates the sinner in this story when in another culture it is the opposite. Is it just in this particular story of myth that the Lord hates the sinner? Login to Reply Ravindra K Kapoor Date: 6/20/2012 4:04:00 AM You are right. This concept of hate the sin and not the sinner are unique in its approach in this story and are influenced perhaps by the teachings of Christianity. It was originally written by my father and I think you are right that this a unique concept not normally found in our cultural history.......Ravindra
