Mmgl Part 021-002 - About Your Birth You Will Tell Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

"There's no god as such.
One will come and vouch.
There's no birth after death.
So, why lead a virtuous path? "

"With this false assertion,
If one comes for a discussion,
You should laugh at him.
Then about your past life, tell him."

REMOVE HIS CONFUSION

"When you say to him
That in your confused dream
A power influenced you
He'll then listen to you."

"You'll not allow him to talk,
But on the truth you'll speak,
To convince him on rebirth
Even after one's death."

GODS WILL SPEAK

"Deities made of perfect trees,
Good sands and stones,
They never offer to speak.
It's why so? I shall talk."

"The sculptures and artists,
With their best talents,
They made these deities
In perfect wood and stones."

"These wood and stones,
They never raised their tones,
But the Deities in them
They guide us in every form."

"They're invisible to the naked eyes.
But they're visible to the inner eyes.
They're there to open our blind eyes,
Our dumb mouths and deaf ears."

THE STONE DEITY'S STORY

"My story will you hear?
I'm carved in the pillar here,
By Mayan, the temple builder.
My importance he did consider."

"I'll never leave this statue,
As this is a place of virtue.
My name is Duvadhigan,
And my friends name Chithrasenan."

"Gods in the heaven cannot understand
As much as what men can understand,
People came to know wherever I moved
And I played with my friend."

"They drew my portrait
And my statues they kept
In all those sacred places
Showering on me their praises."

"Whatever sure to happen
I told you, it's no fun
You must trust me
And have faith in me."

Manimegalai carefully heard,
And told, "I take your word
To be true and to be followed,
But tell me where I'll end? "

YOU WILL REACH KANCHI

"For lack of adequate rain
The place, Kanchi town
It'll lose its ancient beauty.
The people will be hungry."

"So, you take the divine bowl
And give food to all those people.
Aravana Adigal stays there.
You take your mother there."

MANY EVENTS INDICATED

"As Aravana Adigal is there,
By him you'll be taken care.
You'll be freed from other faiths.
You'll follow Buddhism faiths."

"You'll feed all the people
With your divine bowl.
You'll save them from starvation
This'll be your future mission."

"In that holy Kanchi place
Many events you'll face,
Leading you to virtuous path,
And strengthening your faith.

ARAVANA WILL SPEAK

"Whatever so for you've heard,
The leaders of other faiths said,
You tell Aravana Adigal
Who'll understand without fail."

"He'll teach you in a proper manner
The dogmas of our religious order,
All sinful actions will disappear
When Lord Buddha reappear."

"I shall remain in my allotted space
And follow the truth in this holy place.
May your mother and you live long
Free from any actions wrong."

MANIMEGALI'S END

"You'll hear Aravana's preaching,
And will follow his teaching.
Thereafter your life will end
At the famous Kanchi yard."

"In all your future births
It'll be your male births.
You'll stick to your faith
In your every future birth."

"You'll be the first among disciples,
Sticking to the Buddhist principles,
You'll severe attachments all,
And attain ‘Nirvana', the ultimate goal.

THE RESULT OF ACTION

"You hear me further,
Once, your wise forefather
He was rescued from the sea
By the Goddess Manimegala."

"You gave food to Sadhu Sakaran
Your birth is a very rare one.
Manimegala knowing this one
She appeared in the garden."

"To Manipallavam she took you,
And there she kept and saved you."
Manimegalai got out of her sad moods.
In the east, the sun rose free from clouds.
