Last night as I lay sleeping, I died.
Then I went straight to Swarga.
The capital of Swarga is Amaravati
Near the gates of Amaravati, I met its ruler Indra
He said “I must check your record, please stand here and wait”.
He turned a moment later and said “Your record is very bad”,
On earth I see you rallied for every losing cause.
I see that you drank alcohol, smoked, womanized and partied,
Fact is, you have done everything that a good Hindu should never do.
We cannot admit you into the Swarga, your life is full of Paap and bad
Saying so, Indra read the last of my record, on seeing the last entry,
Indra took my hand and said “Come in. You are admitted”.
He led me up to the celestial damsels Rambha & Urvashi
And said “Take him, treat him well and shower endless love,
His name is Raja Gopal, he worked in Insurance and has seen the Hell!!
