Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Namaste, I understand from the forward to the book that the original poems are written in 18th Century Bengali. I do not know if they have been translated into Hindi. There is more information on the wikipedia page that may help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramprasad_Sen There is a book listed on that page that was published out of New Delhi, India, but it looks like an English language publication. Nonetheless, that might give you some clues to further research. I hope this helps. blessings, pr , Sreekumar <nairvps wrote: > > ||Om Sri Gurubhom Namah|| > ||Om Sri Matre Namah|| > > Could you please tell me whether I can get the title in Sanskrit / Hindi > language from where the below mentioned poem is translated? > > Sreekumar > 15-Sep-2008 > > On 9/14/08, prainbow61 <paulie-rainbow wrote: > > > > O Mind, you think it's all in fun, > > You've got it made, really made, > > Bouncing from mood to mood, > > Bawling now, now dancing, > > When there was money you spent a fortune > > On trash.
