Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

Towards the forest they travelled,
Streams one after another crossed,
Kosala’s southern boundary reached,
At that stage the chariot stopped.
...

Hey, you know the story
Of three poor men lazy,
Resting in a choultry
And feeling quite hungry.
...

Sister Marie Therese, a nun
Held a dual role, as matron
To serve in the hospital
And Teacher in the school,
...

Bernadette tried her best,
In her new life, to readjust,
But the rigidity enforced,
To follow, it was hard.
...

Right from the beginning,
Mayor’s eye was on the spring,
That was a source of income
And a rich man to become.
...

The Dean, unlike earlier,
In his heart, had a soft corner,
To this girl, Bernadette,
Who always talked straight.
...

When Bernadette fell unconscious,
People thought she was in trance,
But when she opened her eyes,
She had lost color in her face.
...

The Dean’s heart, once stone,
Turned itself to a soft tone,
What was its hidden reason?
Perhaps, it was known to one.
...

The whole Lourdes Town,
Rose up in a violent agitation,
To demonstrate their feelings
Against the police atrocities.
...

The Church still held the view
That any miracle, old or new,
Could not spiritually be accepted,
If science could have it proved.
...
