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.

Lakshman's fall and rise




























Ravana was devastated beyond a limit
From this war business he wanted to dimit
But it was too late, to change the course
Fate had already, taken it's course

Ravana decided to send his reserve army force
Hoping they would change the war's fatal course
The reserve army force was a few crores in number
In all of Ravana's previous wars they were a member

In the past they had never seen defeat
They would fight both ways, both fair and deceit
Vibhishan informed Rama that victory was near
Because, for Ravana, the reserve army was dear

Rama asked all of His army to back up
That He would single handedly pack up
The reserve army force as one man
Lord Rama always knew what He can

The reserve force of Ravan came to war
But with Lord Rama, they could not be on par
Lord Rama started to shoot His arrows afar
On the reserve army's pride, He created a scar

In a duration of two hours, the reserve force was vanquished
Ravana and the wives of reserve force men were anguished
Sounds of cry, from the Lanka's houses, were heard
Whole of Lanka was now like a, hunted down, bird

Ravana was now both furious and miserable
He couldn't believe his reserve force was fissionable
He himself went to war, with unlimited rage
Fate against him, kept turning the page

More than Ram and Lakshman, Vibhishan he hated
Towards Vibhishana with fury, Ravana gaited
He took a spear named Shakthi and at Vibhishan He threw
For the Shakthi missing its mark chances were few

Between Visbhishan and Shakthi, Lakshman came there
And the Shakthi, on his chest, Lakshman did bear
On the ground, like a hero, Lakshmana fell
The sorrow of Rama, a poet cannot tell

Ravana tried to lift Lakshman's body, but he could not
Hanuman easily lifted Lakshman and to Rama he brought
Sugriva and Vibhishan tried to console Ram
With positive words, they made Him feel warm

Sushena the monkey army's physician wanted some herbs
To remove from Lakshman's body, the Shakthi that curbs
Lord Hanuman jumped into action, and flew up north
Towards the Himalayan ranges, he went forth

Unable to identify the herbs on the hill
He lifted the Hill, with his mighty will
He brought the hill to Lanka, like it was a child
On the way back to Lanka, his smile was mild

Sushena took the herbs he wanted and Lakshmana was up
Ravana was continously drinking from his 'bad-news-cup'
Thus Hanuman once again, saved the situation for Ram
Jai Shri Ram! Jai Jai Shri Ram!!
