The Ultimate Liberator!

For the seekers of knowledge
Can there be a knowledge?
better than
The Knowledge of The Divine, Shri Rama!

The one who liberated
Even the blades of grasses
And all the swarms of ants

Leaving none behind
That ever existed
In the Good City of Ayodhya

And placed them in
An exotic heaven
Created exclusively for them
By the Great Grandshire Brahma!

-Nammazhvaar


Ramayanam is Agriculture
Bhagavatham is Harvest
-Me


The twin-syllable, Rama
When a devotee exalts!
The Birth-Death cycle
It permanently halts

Goodness and Wealth
It everyday brings
Sin and poverty
It cleanses and shrinks

-Kambar


Goodness Honesty Sweetness Simplicity
Gentleness Strength Humility Bravery
Valour Talent Prowess Success
Memory Trustworthiness Heroism Genuinity
Such adorable qualities and so much more
By chanting Rama's name you will score!

-Me

My Lord's Story: Goodness Incarnate

Ramayanam in English poetry.

The Supreme Lord of the Universe was once born on this earth as a Human Being, faced challenges and had His share of pain and pleasure going through both good and bad times like any of us. Like any of us He too, took His turn in laughter and cry.

This humility of The Lord, that makes Him come down to earth and share with us our difficulties to show us a way to handle them is what I admire in Him. This quality of Him, makes me surrender to Him unconditionally and makes me want to sing His Glory on and on and on.

My Lord's Story is an out pour of my devotion that seeps out in gratitude for the pains He took to be a lighthouse for us, to cross the ocean of Samsara.

For a gift to be valued.


When you want to gift some food

Gift it to the hungry ones


When you want to gift some money

Gift it to an entrepreneur


When you want to gift a book

Gift it to a knowledge-seeker


When you want to gift your love

Gift it to someone who yearns for it


When you want to gift a kiss

Gift it to an orphan child


When you want to gift a caress

Gift it to a prostitute


When you want to gift a word

Gift it to a wounded heart


When you want to gift an action

Gift it to your consciousness


When you want to gift a blessing

Gift it to a new born baby


When you want to gift a prayer

Gift it to a dead sinner


When you want to gift some time

Gift it to the Almighty


It is the most precious

It is a small part of the life he gave you

It can never be erased by the future

Hi Ramesh,
Please justify the line please
"When you want to gift a caress
Gift it to a prostitute"

Friend

May be prostitutes are selling their flesh. That is definitely wrong. But we need to realize that in this process, they are never being touched by any man with love. All the time they are being used as a body. Never are they, looked upon as a soul who will crave for love.

Caressing is something which is different from sex. It makes a person feel loved, feel comforted.No prostitute ever enjoys this.
