Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 Dear Alan: What a great poem. Who is swaminathan? I spared this group the poem that I wrote before this one. Two of my Christian friends had diametrically opposite reactions to it. One got real angry about it and Professor Gregory, who is the foremost expert on Napali Shamism and a practicing Catholic liked it so much that he forwared it to his daughter. So all our reactions on purely from inside of us. The poem "The Second Coming follow. Aloha, Om Mamo Bhavagate Sri Ramanaya. Nessuno The messiah is coming the scriptures do say We'll all rise to heaven and be happy all day They'll be no such worries about terrorist deeds All good things will happen without any needs The savior is right here in the holy land pal Do be surprised when you find she's a gal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 Dear Alton , I liked the Chritian Poem .Very witty - i can see why it raised a few eyebrows in Christian circles .Poetry can say things more appositely than prose .Glad you enjoyed my effort . Prof. K.Swaminathan is the English {Indian{ translator of the Garland of Guru's Sayongs , the Guru Vachaka Kovai of Muruganar {in print from Ramanasramam]he was a distinguished English scholar and has done a fine literal free verse translation - but like most free verse it lacks a singing musicality , in my oppinion . --- Alton Slater <leenalton wrote: <HR> <html><body> <tt> Dear Alan:<BR> What a great poem.
