While chanting, very often, <br />The Saint had a vision <br />Of Rama in different pose <br />Before him, very close. <br /> <br />At that time, in ecstasy, <br />He found it very easy <br />To dance and sing, <br />Out came then a song. <br /> <br />On one occasion he sang, <br />In Raga Bilahari a song, <br />That described this vision, <br />And his heartfelt jubilation. <br /> <br />(He sang in Telugu: <br />Kanukondanee Sriramunee Nedu) <br /> <br />“I saw the Lord today, <br />Sri Ramachandra Murthy, <br />Sita Rama of Solar race, <br />That satisfied my eyes.” <br /> <br />“His brothers, Lakshmana, <br />Bharatha, Satrughuna, <br />In deep worship stood <br />Reverently by his side.” <br /> <br />“The Wind-God’s son, <br />Haruman was there then <br />Bowing at Rama’s feet, <br />It was a pleasant sight! ” <br /> <br />“Sugreeva and others <br />Were saying their prayers. <br />I saw all these scenes <br />Today, with my eyes.” <br /> <br />It’s really no wonder <br />If his songs live forever, <br />As they came from his heart, <br />That was true and honest.<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/13-thyagaraja-vision-of-rama/
