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.

As a fish, as turtle and a boar
As Narasimha, Vikrama You did come
As ParasuRama Rama You did come
As BalaRama Krishna You did come

As Kalki You are yet to come
Many births like these you do often take

The Brahmins who have mastered Vedas
Have come now
With golden pots of Ganges Waters
They do bow
Cardamom Camphor and clove pieces
Are added to your bathing water for Fragrance

The bright red Sun is rising up
The lotuses have blossomed well
The birds are all singing sweet
The vaishnavas are praising you!

With Lord Brahma Great Yogis and Renunciates
Sananthanas do await you in your place!

Holding in their
Beautiful hands
Gifts to you that
Bring to you luck

Eager to see your beauty
Taking this as their duty
They stand at your place like trees and
await you!

All that has
to be known of you

Oh Venkatesha!
May this dawn be auspicious For You!

Virushachala! Oh Mighty Lord!
Thus ends Your wake up song!
Those who do remember this
Are blessed by You with
Good Wisdom!

It is equivalent to the six Vedangas
It does help in achieving all of one's goals!

Happiness Comes

Arrogance does go
Wisdom does show

All this and lot of Goodness
Protection from Harms and badness
And a lot more you do give
Oh! Govindha!
