smilemakerkrishna: Go back Home

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.

Go back Home

Hearing Ram and Lakshman had woke up, Ravana was disappointed
Dhoomraksha to fight them, wicked Ravana appointed
The monkey army with his weapons, Dhoomraksha did ravish
In using his arrows against the monkeys, he was very lavish

Hanuman was angry, seeing Dhoomraksha kill his monkey friends
Hanuman decided, he must take care that Dhoomraksha's life ends
Hanuman ran towards Dhoomraksha carrying a mighty hill
With one crush on Dhoomraksha, mighty Hanuman did kill

Ravana kept sending His army chiefs one after the other
The monkey leaders kept killing them, one after the other
Vajradhamshatran, fought bravely killing many monkeys but
By valourous Angada with a sword, his head was cut

Akampana came to fight and killed many monkeys then
Hanuman killed Him swiftly, giving shock to Akampana's men
Prahastha then came to fight killing many monkeys, but
Neelan crashed a tree on his head with a mighty thud

Seeing his chiefs one after the other in a row being killed
To enter the battle, he himself, mighty Ravana willed
Lord Rama encountered Ravana in a mighty war
Determined to make on Ravan's glory a permanent scar

Lord Rama shot arrow after arrow without a gap
By the might of Rama's arrows, Ravan had to gasp
With arrows in a row, Rama cut off Ravana's flag
Rama attacked Ravan, like a tiger that attacks a stag

Rama then killed Ravana's swift horses
And attacked Ravan, without any pauses
Ravana soon became bereft of any weapons
Only on Rama's mercy, Ravana's life depends

Rama shot an arrow and made Ravan's crown fall
Without crown, weapons and chariot, Ravan stood tall
Now Rama no more attacked Ravan and let him go
Rama clearly from Ravan, did steal the show

"You, bereft of your weapons, I will not try to kill
Killing you hastily is never in my will
Go back home and take some time to think
I hope your steadfastness in your path would shrink"

Ravan folded his palms and saluted Shri Ram
Wondering how a warrior amidst war could be calm
Putting down his head, he went back to his palace
About Rama's valour, he could no more be callous

Fighting with mercy was the style of Ram
Fighting without anger was the way of Ram
Always being cool was the strength of Ram
Jai Shri Ram! Jai Jai Shri Ram!!
