Patradoot or The Messenger32 /Many English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor DESCRIPTION OF MY HOUSE You will find a small simple temple, In front of my house, dear letter, And you would be fascinated to look, At the beautiful statue of Lord Shiva*. The simplicity of this small temple, Would resemble like a simple hut, Free from rich man’s pomp and show, Its beauty would fascinate you, dear letter. All the devotees of this temple, decorate it with care, And with great devotion, they worship Shiva everyday, And happily they accept, what ever Prasad* they get, As a token of blessings of Lord Shiva, dear letter. On the left of that temple, you would find, dear, My simple dwelling house, decorated with love, While entering in the compound, you will find, All around there, green plants and lovely creepers.
