17. The Saints Who Came Before Us
When huge bridges have been constructed by governments and Kings over large and dangerous rivers, even the tiniest ants find it easy to cross over.We often trick ourselves into thinking that our identity is only individual, but we are much more than that. We have a family identity, where would we be without our parents […]
16. I Bow To You
I bow to you all. I bow to my Guru and the great saints and Gurus who came before us, Vyasa, Valmiki and others, who with hearts filled with devotion, have recounted the playful narratives of Shri Hari. I bow to all of the poets out there, who sing the virtues of my sweet Lord, […]
15. Sub Ek
Even though we accept the Lord is beyond our understanding and unfathomable, we endlessly describe it, this is justified by the Vedas themselves continuously expound the remembrance of Brahman.

Regardless of colour all cows produce beautiful white milk, similarly, people of of […]
10. This Work
This work contains the sacred name of Shri Rama, the nectar of the Vedas and the Puranas. This name removes all suffering, it is a great blessing and is even chanted by Lord Shiva himself. No matter how great a book, or poetic composition is, there is no beauty unless adorned by Shri Rama’s name. […]
9. The Hidden Jewel
The mockery and laughter of the wicked will only help me in my cause; how can a buffalo be expected to understand the Bhagavata? (A devotional scripture dedicated to Krishna) This undertaking of mine will be perfect for their mockery, for they have no idea of poetry or devotion to Shri Rama. This feeble attempt […]
