Like Hanuman is to Shri Rama
Like Arjuna, to Shri Krishna
Like Mother Teresa is to Jesus Christ
So are you to Lord Ramakrishna
Playful and naughty as a child
A tiger’s friend in the wild
A doubting Thomas in front of your teacher
The all knowing wise one as a preacher
Religion to you, was not just a notion
Reason and logic were your ultimate passion
In religious beliefs you saw intellectual reason
Shattering senseless talk and atheistic treason
Like the candle that melts when fire is near
You melted with love, for the needy and poor
Poverty of people made you cry
Until your tear glands went out dry
Like an empty vessel that enters the lake
You went to your Guru with a thirst to take
Like the filled bucket that comes from the well
You came from your guru with so much to tell
Hanuman carried a mountain, across an ocean
You, your guru’s word across every nation
You swam across the sea where oceans meet
You traveled nations giving spiritual treat
Handsome and stylish, you walked with charm
And bore the sweetest smile, always warm
With eyes that emitted divine light
To people you were an awesome sight
You lost yourself in meditation
You molded yourself with dedication
You looked upon your guru with devotion
And to your lucky disciples with compassion
Sometimes you were moody and thoughtful
Sometimes you were funny and playful
Is that how you won Mother Saradha’s heart?
Who always pampered, your action and thought
Astounding as an orator
Profound as a creator
Inspiration is thy name
Inspiration is thy form
In music you had a golden hand
Your guru, to it, was a hard core fan
In
Towards
In a few seconds you could read a book
This left your questioner aghast and shook
A perfect demonstration of your mental skill
A simple reflection of your collected will
You have proved your skill as a flawless shooter
You live in my heart as a moral booster
Whenever I get mentally sick and depressed
Your words of courage make me refreshed
In you I see a positive power
Which your words and poses always shower
Your very sight makes me flower
And makes me want, to be a spiritual tower
There is so much in life I got from you
I should give my life to repay the due
I know I can’t do anything new
What more can I do than worshiping you?
Your guru was like the deepest ocean
He made you stand like the tallest mountain
We youngsters climb, with all our might
Hoping to reach half your height
Thirty nine years you lived on this earth
Three thousands years it will talk your worth
Like a lightning, you came and went
In youngster’s hearts you left a dent
The world was not always sweet to you
You were definitely not among the lucky few
With courage and faith you made your mark
With the boldest fonts on history’s bark
HAPPY YOUTH DAY
