Narendra loved Mother Nature.
And saw God’s hand everywhere.
The Nature around this vast earth
Led him more in the spiritual path.
Cool air, trees, creepers, birds
Mountain peaks, rivers, woods,
And many other beautiful things,
Taught him variety of experiences.
In his ecstasy, quite often,
He forgot himself as a man,
And saw within him a vibration,
That led him to divine realization.
There were several instances,
Of his strange experiences,
In his meticulous study
On the reincarnation theory.
On many such occasions,
He described past scenes
Exactly one by one,
As if earlier he had seen.
Encouraged by his father
He gave intellectual lectures
On variety of topics
Before elite audience.
When he was sixteen
For his further graduation,
In the Presidency College
He joined at the right age.
As a youth, more handsome,
All the professors liked him.
He also enjoyed his studies
And came up with flying colors.
The professors praised him
As a genius every time
He scored meritorious success
In all the examinations.
It was at this time, he met
Sri Ramakrishna, the great,
When his inner most spirit
Got stirred up to a height.
Brahmo Samaj organization,
A movement on religion,
Influenced his thoughts
O’er many religious matters.
Rajaram Ramachandran
