2 Yugas ago on Chaitra Shukla Navami
Was born a pious one among so many
With a voice so polite & sweet as honey
He enchanted all with his form so tiny
With child's toggle when he would walk
In a cutest way he would gurgle & talk
as he grew behind asuras he'd stalk
Protected all refuged behind his back
When 16 he slayed asuras in dozens
Stood guard to Rishis & forest citizens
Was a god of death to all the demons
Revered for his feats by all the heavens
Breaking Shiva's bow he married the divine beauty
Received a grand welcome & blessings in bounty
Embraced forest life unquestioningly as his duty
Though a prince he lived with resource so scanty
His wife's abduction made him teary
The search for her made him weary
Redeemed the cursed ate tasted berry
With a large army to Lanka he did ferry
The war with his wife's abductor's army he had started
Midway his fatally injured brother lay of life depleated
With divine herb his brother & all lives got repleated
With a new vigor the perpetrators army he defeated
After 14years of exile to his kingdom when he returned
The people of khosala to receive him they stormed
Amidst celebration on the throne as King he adorned
11000 years of a golden age he gave people & governed
Not once he has faltered in all aspects of living by Darma
Never missing on performing his nitya & rajya karma
Practical real life truths he lived & not a fictional drama
Unmatched he only is Puroshottama Raghu Raama
On this day of his birth let us pause our lives & reflect on his qualities, acts, deeds & achievements and see how much we can inculcate those in us to atleast emulate living the pious & worthy life that is Dharmic & Karmic in nature.
