'हे राम'!

One gentleman who walked the earth

The man who placed his wife before him

‘Siya-Ram’ is how we address them

The epic depicting the bonds of brotherhood

The epic narrating the sacrifice without depiction 

The love cherished and nurtured by all

And today, I heard it more than ever

‘Jai Shree Ram’ was the chant

The ‘Ram Darbar’ ; my childhood reminisces as ‘The Divine’

The annual ‘Akhanda Ramayanas’ were the festivities at home

‘Jai Ram ji ki’ , ‘Ram Ram’ is what my granny uttered when addressed

And now I realise one needs to graduate to be eligible for this incantation!

Because.....

"जाकी रही भावना जैसी, प्रभु मूरत देखी तिन तैसी!"
