Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

The life story of Shirdi Sai Baba every Indian may know. as too many temples in his name have come up in India and across the world too. After his departure from this Earth on 15-10-1918, I was born on 13-07-1931 and became his devotee from a very young age. I had a high fever when I was just 10 years old in the year 1940-41, which was the peak period of World War II. Sai Baba saved my life miraculously and that is a big story to tell here. Today I am nearing my 90th Birthday, as Sai Baba has been helping me now and then during my troublesome life period. I am glad to write his life story, in brief, for the reading pleasure of poetry lovers.

So thought Kaikeyi, the queen,
But how to execute their plan?

Or simply God forever,
But He had made mankind
More to love and be loved.”
