Patradoot Or the Messenger 16/Many

Patradoot or The Messenger16 /Many 
  
English version by 
Ravindra K Kapoor 



Description of Triveni or Allahabad known as Sangam city



The moment you see the holy mingling 

Of the river streams Ganga & Yamuna, dear letter,

You can make up your mind to take a rest here,

Before you deliver my message to my beloved dear.



The holy water of rivers Ganga and Yamuna,

Would be flowing with the enchanting noise of kul kul,

And its shores would be shining like silver,

When Sun rays would be touching its sand particles.



Ravindra

* Kul  Kul.  The enchanting noise or sound of a river when it flows.

Patradoot in Hindi was originally written by my father late
Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor in 1932, when he was imprisoned
by the British, as he was fighting for India's freedom 
under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. After India’s
independence as a true follower of Gandhi Dr. Amar Nath 
Kapoor left active politics and devoted rest of his life in 
writing easy mass literature and wrote many Dramas, 
Poetry books, epics. All his other literary 
works were mainly written from 1955 to 1990. 
He left this mortal world in 1994.
