>I once read a Hindi poem called "Ttukra do ya pyaar karo" The poet wrote it

>in the voice of a very poor woman who comes to the temple carrying a single

>flower for the Lord "Others have brought you bright jewels, I see", she

>says, "someone has adorned you in silk, a great "dhanwaan" (rich man) has

>given the money for your gem-filled crown, and you smile is beatific as they

>bathe you in milk. I stand on the edge of the crowd, bent over close to

>a pillar, hiding my simple offering in the "pallu" of my sari. Sometime, when

>they move away, I'll place this flower at your "charan" ("feet" does not=20=

>quite capture it), Prabhu, Ttukra do ya pyaar karo(it is upto You, then

>to love my offering or reject it)
