Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

Swamiji opened my eyes
When I was a lad of sixteen years,
And read the seven volumes
Of his famous speeches.
...

The milk has the hidden butter,
And this is a known factor,
But only when it's churned,
Up floats the butter turned.
...

To the Calf's call in a herd,
How its mother rushes to feed?
To the chicks' mouth wide open
How its mother feeds one by one?
...

Child Meera’s grandfather,
And Rathan Singh’s father,
Rao Dudha, was the first one,
Who founded Merta Town.
...

Sankara toured all places
To awaken the masses,
All the way by foot,
Four times almost.
...

Buddha saw his father’s worry
And told him a boy’s story,
Saying, the gem was hidden
Within himself, but not known.
...

Buddha faced questions
From the intellectuals,
Like “how the body differ
From the spirit that suffer? ”
...

Chinchamanaika, a woman,
Was wicked like a demon.
Dressed gorgeously she went
To the monastery very late.
...

The first Cousin, Devadatta,
Was always jealous of Buddha.
He told people, he was greater,
And Buddha was not superior.
...

Devadatta’s next plan
Was to push down
A big boulder from the top
To crush Buddha into pulp.
