Raman Savithiri Poems

(This trial fails to measure the height of TAMIL and TAMILLAND in all its dimensions. Tamil literature is vast. Its depth is immeasurable.
I tasted just a drop! From time immemorial Tamil land clasps all, till today, whoever comes to make an esteemed living. Tamil Temples and related arts could not be spoken by me. I am just like an ignorant frog which does not know anything about lotuses though it lives with them!)

(Sometimes I have come across few Indian Christians who love western nations more than loving India. Some non-Hindu Indians mocking at Indian idol-worship, the great heroes Krishna and Rama; Laughing at chastity of Mata Sita and heroine Panjali. Some Indian Muslims will rejoice when Pakistan wins in India-Pakistan match! This really hurts me and will hurt my Mother India also)

Is India identified
...

All of a sudden
Life becomes more meaningful
Nature’s display is more beautiful
Birds’ tweets are sweeter
...

Majestic, high soaring eagle,
Shoots down the sea’s seething surface,
In a sec, a big fish writhes for life,
In the strong clutches of its claw.
...

One of my colleagues is remarkably extraordinary for her wit and wisdom without her our staff room would not have tasted joy in job. She co-ordinates parties without hurting anyone’s feeling. Bold to present our problems to higher authority…yet not haughty. Our staff room remains always as a merry place by her endeavour to have family atmosphere. She is a Christian; her husband is Hindu. Her mind is a blend of both religions radiating philosophy too.

Happy birth day to Mrs Queene Yadav
Her wisdom driving away any boredom,
...

How will I tell my sorrow?
To whom will I tell my sorrow?

Heart breaks, body shudders
...

Among cactuses thorny,
Stand stiff in many,
In a ruthless desert wood,
I try to grow sandalwood!
...

You bestow
Some people with pride of having best parents.
...

Like a wild jasmine in deep wood
My poems blossom from pensive mood
Like the petals draw out to sun rays
My thoughts turn into patterns by Your grace
...

I agree honestly my love is not absolute
For I know not its taste!
True devotion, then, how will I radiate?
...

(Living in Kuwait a parched land in middle-east desert, just for money sake, where people float around, where I could hardly find any relations with true love, if I want to taste pure love I contact my mother living in India. Her voice itself is enough to bring bliss into my heart.)

_*********_***********_**********_************_*************_
...

Scavengers cease to exist?
Cleanliness takes its exit!

Street girls totally are wiped out?
...

925. Amma, am I dim-witted? 180508

People have something or other to cling upon earth
Amma, tell me any thing except You which is worth!
...

Amma, I stand empty handed!

I really did not know
What gift should I select for you.
...

A Desert date-palm
Is, of course, rough and tough,
To endure the desert climates.
Hard and prickly are its leaves,
...

While swimming
Amidst seething sea
Of selfish karmas
Seeking for coast
...

Comics full of graphic pages
Would drag to different ages,
Of wonderful worlds wild,
When I was mere a child!
...

When I came to know by this century world population will reduce in the ratio of 7 billion to 1 billion due to global warming I became totally upset since the forth coming world will be a battle field for basic resources to our children. How our kids will survive?

785. Global Warming – (I) 280209
...

As earth turns towards the Sun
The ups and downs are well seen
When night falls with null Moon
Dark hides the true sight soon.
...

I come across some friends(?) who always expect me to give, but not ready to give. Also they are quite ungrateful. It hurts. But I question myself ‘who is getting hurt and why? ’

--~---~----~-----~-----~---~
788. Friend? ! Mirror of my ego! 190209

M y ` m o t h e r ` t o n g u e ` i s ` s w e e t ` T A M I L!

Into which history fails to pierce;
Mother of languages many other;
But Her age never trips teens;
Is my mother tongue – dear TAMIL!

Siva elevated Her in sangam;
Uma loves to hear the twangs;
Skantha stays in, hillocks echoing
Sweet TAMIL, forgetting Himalaya!

Thoughtful couplets Tirukkural,
Four line verses Naladiyar and
Invaluable diamond KambaRamayana
Deck Her crown – TAMIL literature!

More than half of Indian inscriptions are Hers;
More than half of Indian temples are Hers;
Prose, music and drama are Her elements;
How could I tell TAMIL’s beauty in English?

River Kaveri ripples Aandals ThiruPpaavai;
Bay of Bengal replicates Vallalar’s ThiruArutppaa;
ThiruAnnaMalai silently sings Ramana AtcharaMaalai;
Entire plateau is pride of TAMIL Auvai’s Aathichudi!

“Everyone is my relative and
Everyplace my native land”-
Embraced the entire mankind,
TAMIL proverb years 2500 before!

Do my feet deserve to touch,
TAMIL soil where Nayanmar 63
And Azlwar 12 walked,
Singing unique devotionals?

A dropp from Thiruvaacagam
Is more than enough to
Intoxicate my little soul, causing
Tears touching TAMIL land!

Heart’s love beats in AgaNaanuru,
Soul’s truth hunt in PuraNaanuru,
Are TAMIL’s treasures precious,
That tidal time could not perish!

Hosting is Her eminent nature! – In Her lap,
Thiyagaraja, famous Telugu poet flourished,
Mahratta Sarabhoji’s kingdom was established,
Even today actors of all states boom and zoom!

A rock, peeping out of wild waves at TAMIL tip Kanyakumai,
Gave days 3 mediation and vision vibrant to Vivekananda!
A royal, keeping above feral desires, Bhaskara Sethupathi ^,
Paved way to Vivekananda’s speech starting from Chicago!

This tiny drunk mortal, drunken the sweet nectar TAMIL
Tries to tell on the only living classical language of India!
Trial ends as a prattle! Could I explain how sweet honey is?
Blessed am I, given that, lustrous Tamil is my tongue!

Maa, Uma, if I have anymore birth, throw me in TAMIL land alone!
Let my heart bleed to clean karmas, with Manivacagar’s tears devotional!
Let me too feel oneness with Ramalinga who withered with plant withering!
Let me sing Abiraami Andaathi with Pattar to become Your child cherished!

^ Initially, it was Bhaskara Setupati as the Raja of Ramnad, who had earlier decided to go to US to attend the Parliament of Religions as the representative of Hinduism. But after conversing with Swami Vivekananda,
he decided that Swamiji was the right person to attend the conference. It shows the great hearts of TAMIL kings from ancient Athiyaman (who offered life-extending gooseberry to Auvai) to modern kings.
