no one can atone me.

Marching Light

---

This is the original poem that Yoganandaji rendered as "Rama Swami Tirtha's Song" in Cosmic Chants:

No, no one can atone me.
Say, who could have injured,
And who could atone me?
No, no one can atone me.

The world turns aside
To make room for me;
I come, Blazing Light!
And the shadows must flee.

I come, O you Ocean!
Divide up and part;
Or parched up and scorched up,
Be dried up, depart.

O Mountains, beware!
Come not in my way;
Tour ribs will be shattered
And tattered today.

O Kings and Commanders
My fanciful toys I
Here’s a Deluge of fire,
Line clear! My boys

Advisers and Counsellors!
Pray, waste not your breath.
Yes, take up my orders,
Devour up, ye, Death.

Go, howl on, O winds,
O my dogs! howl free.
Beat, beat, Storms!
O my Bugles! blow free.

I ride on the Tempests,
Astride on the Gale,
My gun is the Lightning,
My shots never fail.

I chase as an huntsman,
I eat as I seize
The hearts of the mountains,
The lands and the seas.

I hitch to my chariot
The Pates and the Gods.
With Thunder of cannon
Proclaim it abroad:

Shake! shake off Delusion,
Wake! wake up!
Be free, Liberty! Liberty!
Liberty! OM!

गणपतिदेव एकदन्त और चर्तुबाहु हैं। वे अपने चार हाथों में पाश, अंकुश, दन्त और वरमुद्रा धारण करते हैं। उनके ध्वज में मूषक का चिह्न है। वे रक्तवर्ण, लम्बोदर, शूर्पकर्ण तथा रक्तवस्त्रधारी हैं। रक्तचन्दन के द्वारा उनके अंग अनुलिप्त हैं। वे रक्तवर्ण के पुष्पों द्वारा सुपूजित हैं। भक्तों की कामना पूर्ण करने वाले, ज्योतिर्मय, जगत् के कारण, अच्युत तथा प्रकृति और पुरुष से परे विद्यमान वे पुरुषोत्तम सृष्टि के आदि में आविर्भूत हुए। इनका जो इस प्रकार नित्य ध्यान करता है, वह योगी योगियों में श्रेष्ठ है।

इस अथर्वशीर्ष का जो पाठ करता है, वह ब्रह्मीभूत होता है, वह किसी प्रकार के विघ्नों से बाधित नहीं होता, वह सर्वतोभावेन सुखी होता है, वह पंच महापापों से मुक्त हो जाता है। सायंकाल इसका अध्ययन करनेवाला दिन में किये हुए पापों का नाश करता है, प्रातःकाल पाठ करनेवाला रात्रि में किये हुए पापों का नाश करता है। सायं और प्रातःकाल पाठ करने वाला निष्पाप हो जाता है। (सदा) सर्वत्र पाठ करनेवाले सभी विघ्नों से मुक्त हो जाता है एवं धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष- इन चारों पुरुषार्थों को प्राप्त करता है। यह अथर्वशीर्ष इसको नहीं देना चाहिये, जो शिष्य न हो। जो मोहवश अशिष्य को उपदेश देगा, वह महापापी होगा। इसकी १००० आवृत्ति करने से उपासक जो कामना करेगा, इसके द्वारा उसे सिद्ध कर लेगा।

Swami Rama Tirtha

Truth is Your Birth Right. Assert
it and Be Master of Universe. Truth
is “Tattva-Masi” - “That Thou Art” — Rama

Rama guarantees that anybody in this world who reads
or hears all of Rama's speeches, would get his
doubts removed and is sure to come
to the conviction of his own Divinity

‘I AM THAT’

 

I have no scruple of change, nor fear of death,
Nor was I ever born,
Nor had I parents.
I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,
I am That, I am That,

I cause no misery, nor am I miserable;
I have no enemy, nor am I enemy.
I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,
I am That, I am That,

I am without form, without limit,
Beyond space, beyond time,
I am in everything, everything is in me.
I am the bliss of the universe,
Everywhere am I.
I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,
I am That, I am That,

I am without body or change of the body,
I am neither senses, nor object of the senses,
I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,
I am That, I am That,

I am neither sin, nor virtue,
Nor temple, nor worship
Nor pilgrimage, nor books.
I am Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss Absolute,
I am That, I am That,

Rama Is Non-Dual

 

Born on 22 October 1873 in a very poor family in a remote village—Murariwala (Punjab) now in Pakistan, Swami Rama Tirtha, previously known as Tirtha Rama, lived a life of 33 years on this phenomenal plane like a dazzling flash, spreading the glory of Truth—Non-duality—so much so as to make him claim: Rama makes only Rama, nothing more, nothing less.

Braving stark poverty, even missing meals for days together and living on three paise per day, he continued his studies, undeterred and unabated, to maintain his tradition of securing top position upto his last examination of M.A. course. Rejecting all worldly attractions, he chose to be a Sanyasin and lived as Vedanta Incarnate.

Intoxicated in the glory of Self-Realization, Rama travelled far and wide, without keeping a single paise with him and enchanted the people of Japan, U.S.A., Egypt and other nations, not so much by his learning but by feeling and throbbing as one with them. His oneness with All was his trait which prevailed all through.

Rama’s whole being is submerged in ‘OM’—Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, nothing without it or beyond it. The whole struggle, full of tribulations, which Rama had to face, brought out Reality in him and it was his joy to travel bare footed on snowy peaks of Himalayas or live in caves inhabited by fierce animals, including tigers and snakes.

Rama did so much in so little span of 33 years as was done by Adi Shankaracharya, Christ, Sant Gyaneshwar or Swami Vivekanand to quote a few. There can be no comparison, which is futile.

All are Rama, OM

IN JAPAN

[Though Swami Rama Tirtha stayed in Japan hardly for a fortnight, his presence and oration was widely appreciated. Those who came in his contact in this short duration cherished his memory for a long time.]

A Few Press-Comments

"..... At the Buddhist University, Tokyo, Swami Rama Tirtha spoke shedding sparks of fire. In the audience were also Buddhists and Theosophists from Australia who listened to him with rapt attention and with him on the same platform spoke Mr. Kanzo Uchimura, the Carlyle of Japan ....."

"..... Swami Rama Tirtha delivered a great lecture in the Tokyo College of Commerce. Its wonderful flow attracted a great attention of the people ....."

The Russian Ambassador in Japan, having seen the reports of his lecture in the papers, was attracted towards Swami Rama Tirtha with whom he wanted an interview, but by that time Swami Rama had left for U.S.A.

Professor Takakutsu of the Tokyo Imperial University says: "I have met many Pandits and Philosophers at the house of Professor Max Muller in England and other places, but I have never seen a personality like Swami Rama. In him Vedanta and Buddhism meet. He is true religion. He is a true poet and philosopher."

IN USA

It was in 1902 that a ship sailing from Japan reached its destination, the port of San Francisco on whose deck was walking a Sanyasin—Swami Rama—in Divine Joy. Attracted by the glow of Rama, an American gentleman approached him as to know about his destination and his belongings etc. A mere touch of the shoulders of the American—Dr. Hillar—by ‘Rama’, travelling without a penny, baggage and acquaintance in America, satisfied all his queries and Dr. Hillar became an ardent admirer of Rama. Thus stepped Rama on the land of U.S.A.

About ‘Rama’ this gentleman—Dr. Hillar wrote: "..... He is a torch of knowledge hailing from the Himalayas, the fire can burn him not, the steel can cut him not. Tears of ecstasy roll down his eyes and his very presence gives new life. ....."

A few comments of U.S. Press

"..... Out of the Jungles of upper India has came a man of astonishing wisdom, a prophet, a philosopher, a scientist and a priest ....."

"..... This remarkable sage of the Himalayas is a slender, intellectual young man, with ascetic mould of a priest ....." How do I live? To answer this question he said yesterday, ‘This is simple. I do not try. I believe. I attune my soul to the harmony of love for all man, that makes all men to love me and where love is, there is no want, no suffering ....."

"..... Men from India not infrequently reach this Port (Portland). But seldom if ever has any such learning, such broad human sympathies, such unselfish motives arrived here ....."

"..... At Denver, Swami Rama Tirtha announced in his lecture as "Every day is a New Year Day, and every night a X-Mas Night." It so startled the audience and there was long applause ....."

"..... The President of the United States on his way to the north stopped at Springs (Shastra) awhile ..... he accepted from Rama most gracefully, lovingly and cheerfully the "Appeal on behalf of India ....." (May 20, 1903)

"..... Whenever and wherever he has addressed an audience or class, he has spoken with purpose and effect and has drawn men out of their littleness ....."

"..... His (Rama’s) mission in America is two fold. Primarily it is to interest Americans in his own country and country men ..... His second object is to spread his philosophy, his glorious gospel of man’s oneness with the eternal ....."

"..... Briefly and broadly speaking Swami Rama Tirtha stands where philosophy and practical science meet ....."

IN EGYPT

On his way back to India in 1904, Swami Rama Tirtha got a chance to step on the land of Egypt as the ship carrying him stopped there for a while. The people there were impressed by him and requested Rama to address the gathering from the pulpit of the famous mosque at Cairo. Not only the people who heard him in their own language, but the Press also spoke high of Rama. The paper—‘Alabhat’ says:

"..... Swami Rama Tirtha was given a warm welcome by the people here when he delivered a lecture in Persian in the Mosque. Swami Rama is a great Hindu genius, to meet whom was a great privilege ....."
