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.

Angada's Message



























Crores and crores of monkeys swarmed around Lanka's fort
To fight, kill and die, they were all sport
Bears along with monkeys were also in the team
Happy, because of the adventure, their faces did gleam

Lord Rama and Lakshman approached the northern gate
Hanuman with his army approached the western gate
Angada with his army approached the southern gate
Neelan along with army approached the eastern gate

After surrounding, all the four gates of Lanka's fort
Angada was chosen by Rama, as a messenger sport
"Child! approach Ravana, this very moment
And tell him to get ready for his death event"

"To submit Sita to me, it is not very late
He can still surely escape an adverse fate"
Saying so Rama sent Angada into Lanka's heart
Angada went with enthuse, to play the messenger part

Angada boldy and bravely entered Ravana's court
And announced that they've surrounded Lanka's fort
He asked for a seat and was provided none
This insult from his heart he did shun

Angada rolled round his tail growing it longer
And made it into a seat that was much stronger
With pride and confidence he sat on it
And explained to Ravana what fate has knit

"It is still not late for you to make amends
On your decision, the fate of Lanka depends
Handover Mother Sita to Rama, Her spouse
If not death cries will be heard in your house"

To pay heed to Angad, Ravana was arrogant
To give up Mother Sita, he was adamant
"Catch this monkey and kill him now
Unto to my feet, if he does not bow"

To catch Angada and kill him, four soldiers ran
But Angad with his might, showed them what he can
Carrying the four men, Angad flew high
Then he shook them off, from the high sky

Angada kicked the tower of Ravana's court
In the cat and mouse game, Angad was a sport
Angad quickly returned to the presence of Ram
Happily saying "Jai Shri Ram! Jai Jai Shri Ram!!"
