Christo Mandir Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Christo Mandir



If ever you think religious tolerance is at its nadir
Inter-religion integration or world religion a utopia
Stand before the sunned domes of the Christo Mandir
Where the Christ’s name mingles with Hare Krishna!

Call it anything a temple a church
No different is our walked road
The church’s spire or the temple’s arch
Cannot be God’s encaged abode!

Christo Mandir the Temple of Jesus
In many veins stand out one leaf
Hollows my perceived faith and class
At its door I cast aside my belief!

There is a touch of John Betjeman in these wonderful lines: Stand before the sunned domes of the Christo Mandir Where the Christ’s name mingles with Hare Krishna! Enjoyed reading and reflecting on this original poem on the various paths of faith. Thank you, Pradip.
