A BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO THE GODCHILD TIRUVANNAMALAI

D.S. SHIVARAMAKRISHNAN

A BIRTHDAY is fixed for a BIRTHLESS SOUL;
And He acts in the drama as a part of; the whole.

His part is only to save the erring fools
And fortunate are those that choose to be His tools.

YOGI RAMSURAT KUMAR, the Great Master
Has been sent here to save us from disaster.

Let us not indulge in unnecessary doubts;
Lest a divine chance we allow to go out.

Something of greatness about Him you wish to know?
Something I shall tell you as far as 1 know.

He does not require a cave or forest,
But His Godly thoughtflow nothing can arrest.

No achievement He claims as his own,
As His Master's grace He will never disown.

He respects and salutes every other man;
This is a quality not human but divine.

Though He is a Gnani of a type perfect
Discussions of philosophy you cannot expect.

When you go to Him, as He more cares
To wipe off the griefstricken devotees' tears.

Every minute you spend in His presence.
He makes you a spiritual adept in essence.

Vedas and epics of sacred lore
He has never failed to fully adore.

Religion for Him is not for discard but unity,
Not for destruction but for construction of society.

With a healthy growth and ail round purity;
And purity for Him is service of humanity.

Efficacy of Mantras in His hands is thorough;
He uses it for good and not abject any low.

God's name He chants to remove woes outright,
And also to elevate men to spiritual height.

A fully spiritual India is always His aim;
To achieve it His followers will pourforth as a stream.

His mission covers a very wide field.
Happy will be those that serve Him indeed.

His Divine message to all corners He will send,
Just to make the world happy et the end.

Welfare of the country and the world is in His mind,
But individual blessing are not wanting on that count.

He does not ask men to give up family life.
And fly away to forest leaving away the wife.

But asks them do their duty with a conscience very clean
Without harm to others by a watch very keen.

He changes not one's principles or practices normally.
But effects if necessary changes very nicely.

Devotees no doubt get blessings personally,
But they get it for a thought where they deserve really.

His extreme compassion tolerates Our sins.
Such unbound Grace we should never fail to win.

This is not ail or exhaustive of his glory;
Better go to Him and see, than hearing by story.

With humble prostrations to the Lotus feet of
Sri YOGI RAMSURATKUMAR
