Rajaram Ramachandran, You Will Be Missed Forever

RAJARAM RAMACHANDRAN, YOU WILL BE MISSED FOREVER You’ve left a legacy, a treasure to cherish, The words of wisdom, the priceless pearls, Each letter embedded with love and care, For all the fellow beings, the loving souls! Spreading cheer abound, filling hearts with joy, The depth of the ocean delving deep in purity, wisdom, A seeker of truth, a philosopher, a thinker, The highest realms of the consciousness, pinnacles reached! The scriptures enlivened, the epics mastered, The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, The Holy Bible, The Krishna Leela, Blessings showered from the Divine, the Grace, Offering the poetry at the Lotus feet of the Lord! The greatest humans, the purest souls, Revered, honoured in your words galore, Gautama Buddha, Harichandra, Adi Sankara, Saint Thyagaraja, Swami Vivekananda, Mother Teresa, Saint Bernadette Sobirous! A master of letters with expertise, finesse, A devotee of Krishna, the mellifluous tunes that you sung, From the depth of your heart, from the core of your soul, Shedding off all darkness, dissipating ignorance! You taught me to live the life to the fullest, With the brightest smiles sparkling on the way, The life lessons learnt, the messages spread, The guidance, the compassion illuminating all! As a shimmering candle, your aura shines, A sudden bliss, a gleaming hope, A modest, humble self-effacing guide, Enlightening the path, unfurling tranquil peace! My heart refutes, the mind repels, The cruel death snatches the mortal being, Your memories I treasure to reminisce and cherish, Your words my companion in the journey of life!
