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.

Narasimha's Golden Feet



Feet what Feet. They are Narasimha’s Feet
Miseries deplete at these wondrous Feet
Love oozes, like from a mother’s heart, from these Feet
Loving Prahlada with love embraces these Feet

To protect a devotee, these Feet did leap
And destroyed his suffering which was a heap
A boy’s faith was proven right by these Feet
Loving Lakshmi with humility worships these Feet

Like a mountain before Hiranya stood these Feet
Till then in patience, a mountain were these Feet
Hiranya’s blood got spilled and reddened these Feet
With devotion Prahlada attracted these Feet


Hiranya on his chest was kicked by these Feet
To Prahlada like devotees these Feet are sweet
For a son’s sake, a father was liberated by these Feet
Attached to it, Lakshmi massages these Feet

To Him with a lion-face and human-body belongeth these Feet
To Him who reached the brim of patience belongeth these Feet
To the thunder-like strong One, belongeth these Feet
Sweet-hearted Prahlada loves to worship these Feet

To the one who got angry and roared, belongeth these Feet
To the one who fought for His beloved belongeth these Feet
To the one who tore Hiranya, belongeth these Feet
Poverty-destroying Lakshmi cracks knuckles for these Feet

These Feet tear sufferings like their Lord tore a pillar
Narasingha took out these Feet from within the pillar
That God was in a pillar, proveth these Feet
Prahlada with faith like a pillar worships these Feet

Lord Narasimha is supported by these good Feet
Good-hearted people worship these Feet
When good-times begins people come to these Feet
Wealth-bestowing Lakshmi worships these Feet

Happy Narasimha Jayanthi to all. Jai Shri Lakshmi Narasimha!!
