Rama has a lot to
teach me

My sweet little kitty cat, Rama
is a role model for
living life by
the natural, instinctual wisdom
of his cat self
he abides by this
and never deviates or strays from the
path ordained for him

He is very much in the moment
playfully hunting toys and
sometimes a hapless lizard

Talk about unconditional love
Rama purrs his way into
everyone’s heart
even if I shout at him
for scratching up the couch
the next minute will find
him all forgiveness
snuggled in my lap

Named after Lord Rama
the Embodiment of Dharma,
Virtue, Compassion and Truth

“God, when appearing with form for the sake of
upholding Dharma, behaves in a human way.
He has to hold forth the ideal life before man
and confer the experience of joy and peace on men.
His movements and activities (Leelas) might appear
ordinary and commonplace to some eyes.  But, each of
these will be an expression of beauty, truth, goodness and
exaltation. It will captivate the world with its charm,
it will purify the heart that contemplates it. It will
overcome and overwhelm all the agitations of the mind.
It will tear the veil of illusion (Maya). It will fill the consciousness
with Sweetness. The story of Rama is not the story of an individual;
it is the story of the Universe! Rama is the Personification of the
basic Universal in all beings. He is in all, for all time, in all space.
 Rama is the principle which attracts— and endears through that attraction—
the disparate elements in nature. The attraction that one exerts over
another is what makes the Universe exist and function.
That is the Rama principle, without which the cosmos will become chaos.
Hence, the axiom: If there be no Rama, there will be no Panorama (Universe).”
