Patradoot Or the Messenger 14/Many
Patradoot or The Messenger14 /Many
English version by
Ravindra K Kapoor
Deserted villages of poor and suffering villagers,
Would fascinate you to stop and look at them,
Somewhere you would find farmers sitting in groups,
Talking or listening the stories and consoling each others.
The beauty of green forests, would charm you dear letter,
Ahead you would find gardens, decorated with flowers and creepers,
And you would be enchanted to see Krishna* like village kids,
Amid the herds of their grassing cows and sheep’s.

* Krishna. Lord Krishna is a deity worshipped across many traditions in Hinduism in a
variety of perspectives. In His childhood he used to move around playing his flute amid
the herds of cows.
