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!

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.

Vibhishana's Coronation



























At Ravana's death, Vibhishana inconsolably cried
To protect Ravana, he had sincerely tried
Ravana not listening to him was not his fault
Yet Vibhishana in his heart felt immense guilt

On the other hand, Ravana's actions, he did hate
Between love and righteousness, Vibhishana was torn by fate
"Lord! Shri Rama! I bow to thee
Please do guide me, how to be

When I think of Kumbhakarna's death
Love for Ravana, comes to a dearth
If only Ravana had listened to me
Alive and well, Indrajeeth would be

I want Ravana to suffer in hell
Am I right? Please do tell
On the other hand, for Ravana I'm sad
After all, he's my brother, though he was bad

Please do guide me, Oh Rama
How do I act, in this drama"
Lord Rama understood Vibhishana's grief
Lord Rama, the right way, he explained in brief

"As much as possible, we should keep doing good
For good Karma to grow in us, good acts are food
For Ravana's mistake he has paid the price
For dead souls sake we must act very nice

Offering water and sesame seeds, we must help the dead
From hunger and thirst, dead people's suffering is unsaid
All enmity and judgements, a person's death does end
For helping the departed souls, our actions we must bend"

Saying so, Vibhishana from his confusion, Rama did guide
To offer Sesame seeds and water, Vibhishan did decide
To Ravana, Vibhishan offered water and sesame seeds
Forgiving from his heart, Ravana's wicked deeds

After that Vibhishan was coronated King
Vibhishan's praise, the Lankites did sing
Thus Vibhishan was guided and made king by Ram
Jai Shri Ram Jai Jai Shri Ram!!
