Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

Life doesn’t rest on bed of roses
But it goes on in between thorns,
Like a traveller going up and down
Before reaching his final destination.
...

After his American visits,
Swamiji chose several places
In London and European Cities
To give his religious lectures.
...

The first day program was
A tremendous success
For Swamiji, whose reputation
Rose up high from the day one.
...

By his regular yoga practice
For nearly twenty five years,
At the bank of a river,
An ascetic walked on water.
...

Narendra respected his Master
As a great religious leader,
And didn’t like to mould him,
As an incarnation of God anytime.
...

The Divinity of the Master
As a born religious leader,
Was seen in his every word,
As well as in his every deed.
...

After the demise of Ramakrishna,
It fell on the part of Narendra,
To take care of the disciples,
A task found not so simple.
...

To Narendra, monastic life meant,
Control over lower nature first,
The realization of God then,
Thro’ constant meditation.
...

Leaving the Cape Comorin
Swamiji went, one by one,
To all the principal towns
Besides important cities.
...

Whenever Narendra thought of bliss
Of Samadhi, as spiritual experience,
He heard the moans of millions,
The victims of poverty and ignorance.
...
