Rajaram Ramachandran Poems

The candle melts itself,
And the wick burns itself,
Just to give us away its light.
...

(Born on 12-1-1863)

The Land of Bengal is famous
For all kinds of noble causes,
...

Meera was in the temple,
Along with common people,
Who also sang with her
Closely following her.
...

The Sage’s unkind action
Brought a total destruction
Of lives and property
In the entire country.
...

After his magic pig was shot
Viswamithra became very hot.
He thought of the next plan
To defame King Harichandran.
...

Harichandran had to leave
Ayodhya, once he gave
All his wealth to the Sage
To cool him from his rage
...

It was the approach of dawn,
Rupa Goswami of Vrindavan,
Had his usual bath in the chill water
Of the holy Jamuna River.
...

Kasi was a well known city,
Noted for its culture and beauty.
The bees hummed in the fields.
Honey flowed from flowers.
...

In the temple of Lord Shiva,
A cow came before Meera.
It reminded her about Krishna,
And His consort, Radha.
...

Meera reached the proper age,
That proposed her marriage.
Her mother was worried,
It was time, she be married.
...
