Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

Narendra’s poverty at home
Did not, in fact, affect him,
Rather it turned his heart
Still more kind and soft.
...

The King’s close friend,
The court jester found
Himself badly stuck up
In the forest base camp.
...

On his way to the hermitage
Of Maricha, the great Sage,
Dushyanta saw a little boy
Handling a lion cub like a toy.
...

The Sage Kanva’s party,
Met in the hours early,
The chief guard of palace,
At the gate’s entrance.
...

In the State of Kerala,
South-west of India,
There exists a town,
As Kaladi, it’s known.
...

Those who once opposed,
Later on they accepted
The arguments of Sankara
And the principles of Advaita.
...

It was five hundred years back,
Rajputs faced frequent attacks
From the invading Moghuls
Who came thro’ the Kyber pass.
...

If there's no religion,
Then what'll happen?
Let us go to prehistoric days,
When people lived in caves.
...

Janaka, the King of Mithila,
A close friend of Dasaratha.
In a sowing ceremony held,
Ploughed a chosen field.
...

A king nicknamed Mr. Miser,
Always tried to be too wiser.
His subjects opposed him never,
But they also tried to be clever.
...
