Who sits on the Red Lotus flower?
“The Goddess of Wealth
…who sits on the Red Lotus flower
offers the fair flow of water,
…affluent shadow,
affluence of paddy harvest,
…name and fame,
huge prosperity,
…lots of wealth and property;
she also always offers longevity
…for those who are not deceptive and trickery!”
(V.K. Kanniappan translation from Tamil Nalvazhi)

A painted house is like a poem
“In the end, a finished polished piece…
Makes the artist, happy and at peace.
The work is finally done…
What hard work, finished-Now
feelings of enjoyed fun.”
