smilemakerkrishna: Life is Beautiful!

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.

Life is Beautiful!

God given life, so beautiful!

God's home, this world, so wonderful!

Closing your eyes

Sing His Glory!

There are hearts, so merciful!

There are hands, so helpful!

I would love to live a hundred years!

What have we brought with us here?

What do we take back there?

Life in this beautiful world...

Let us live it in love...

And bid farewell!

The pleasures in this creation are numerous

The pains in this life are negligible

Let's walk with life...

Till it wants us to...

When time comes to say good-bye...

We'll thank it with a smile!

Wish you all a Happy Diwali!
