Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

The six years of austerities,
Eating nothing but grass,
Pulled Siddhartha down
And he became a skeleton.
...

The urge of the prince
To go around more places,
The King understood well.
Perhaps, it was God’s will.
...

Sudatta, a wealthy merchant,
To Rajagriha, once he went.
He was a generous person,
Taking care of many orphans.
...

The young Vivekananda,
The unknown monk of India,
Suddenly became a popular
Religious man the World over.
...

Freedom, equality and justice
Had been the most valuable treasures
Cherished in the American hearts
And were the basis of their politics.
...

At Colombo, the ship halted.
Vivekananda never expected
Such a big crowd of people
At the port would assemble.
...

Jalpesan felt it very bad,
When the much needed gold
Was rejected by his brother,
Who made himself popular.
...

When the Saint sat
In his father’s seat
To worship the deities,
Tears rolled in his eyes.
...

Once Narendra had decided
An ascetic life to lead,
To go ahead in that route,
His Guru’s help he sought
...

To show the king,
As a proof, his ring,
She lifted her finger,
But alas, it wasn’t there.
...
