All the songs of the Saint <br />Surpassed any time limit, <br />As each word is built <br />Of divinity hidden in it. <br /> <br />The Lord Rama’s name <br />He chanted the same, <br />Non-stop, every second, <br />As it was his very blood. <br /> <br />It became his daily routine <br />To get up early morn, <br />Wake up the Lord <br />Like waking a child. <br /> <br />(His song to wake up the Lord: <br />Melukovaiyya Mammeluko Rama <br />Melaina Sitasamedha Naa Bhagyama, <br />In Raga Bowli) <br /> <br />“Very fortunate we are, <br />To see you with Sita here <br />To take us up, <br />Please wake up! ” <br /> <br />“Sage Narada and others <br />In praise of you now sings. <br />Now the Sun is up. <br />Please wake up! “ <br /> <br />“To accept this offer <br />Of milk and butter, <br />Open your eyes now. <br />Please wake up! <br /> <br />“Oh you in the bed of snake, <br />Your maid servants are awake, <br />Ready to do their services. <br />Please wake up! ” <br /> <br />“The glow of the night lamps <br />Has now become dim <br />Oh Master of solar race, <br />Please wake up! ” <br /> <br />“”Oh King of all kings! <br />Moon’s face you’re having! <br />King of Ayodhya you are! <br />You’re of noble character! ” <br /> <br />Thyagaraja worships your feet! <br />Oh warrior among kings! <br />Devas, kings wait for you! <br />To save this world, wake up! <br /> <br />(Note: In twenty one years <br />Ninety-six-crore times <br />Rama’s name he chanted <br />Average 1.25 lakhs per day, <br />Which is a record break)<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/12-thyagaraja-chanting-rama-s-name/
