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.

4.Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
5.Never regret something that once made you smile.
6.A smile is the shortest distance between two people.
7.The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.
8.Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
9.Don't open a shop unless you like to smile.
10.A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
11.Smile -- It's the second best thing you can do with your lips.
12.Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.
13.It takes 37 muscles to frown but only 14 to smile.
14. A smiling face wins a 1000 hearts
15.
She is not fair to outward view
As many maidens be;
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled on me;
Oh! then I saw her eye was bright,
A well of love, a spring of light.
I got this through mail. :)

Hi,
In a stall at the Mumbai airport, I found a paper stuck to the two billing counters which had '1.Smile 2.Cross-sell' written on them with markers.
Keep smiling.
Cheers,
Salil
