Poems

OM SRIRAM

Love softly laid her head, Light nimbly danced around, Bliss made a joyous sound, Peace comes to bless them all.

Love gently oped her eyes, Light slowly waved the fan, Bliss leapt and flit and ran, Peace smiles upon them all.

Love sang her sweetest song, Light tuned her charming rays, Bliss laughs and rings and plays. Peace smiles over them all.

Ram – the blithesome love, Ram – the shining light, Ram – the blissful height, Ram – the peace over all.

THE SOLE REFUGE

O Ram, I take refuge in Thee, Thou art my love, my life, my lead, I am in Thee, Thou art in me, Thou art my father, mother, indeed

Thou art the life that pervades all. In Thee all things and lives reside, Thou art the life in great and small, In Thee my friend and brother abide. Thy lotus feet my constant thought, Thy light divine my only dream, To serve Thee is my pleasing lot, Thou art my wealth, name and fame.

O Ram, how charming is that sound, O lips, utter Ram Ram O mind, meditate Ram Ram, Forget thyself in Him – in Him.

RAM

O Ram, I see Thy form on every side; In all the worlds Thy light and glory abide. O Ram, Thou art the sun that shines on high; Thou art the moon and stars that deck the sky.

O Ram, Thou art the life that fills all space, And sets the whirling universe in its race. O Ram, I see in hills Thy form divine, In waters vast that flow and wave and shine.

O Ram, I see Thy light in jungles wild, In trees and plants and verdure mild. O Ram, all life reflects Thy godly light Thou art all in all – Love, Bliss and Might.
