The Hot Topic: Poetry Contest Winners

Prior to the Gaura Purnima festival, the Bhakti Writers Community hosted the Golden Moon Poetry contest, with a gift card to Amazon.com as the prize. Twelve writers submitted their poems, and each writer glorified a unique facet of Lord Chaitanya’s personality.
    The winner is Samapriya Prabhu, who wrote the poem “Hot Topic.”  One judge described her poem as, “Original, fresh, fun!  Makes the reader smile.” Second place goes to “In the Land of Lord Nityananda,” by Madhava Lata Prabhu, and third to “The Promise,” by Mahabhagavata Prabhu. Thanks to all who participated. No attempt to glorify Lord Chaitanya goes in vain.
    We have posted all the poem submissions on the contest page. You may also listen to an audio recording of the winning poem.  Please visit http://writers.bbt.info/hot-topic to read and listen to the poems.
