Most of the Bhakta Ramadas’ moving kirtans were penned during the twelve years he spent in the lonely prison cell. Ramadas sings, “Deenadayalo! Deenadayalo! Deenadayaapara Deva Dayalo!” — Oh! Compassionate one! Oh! compassionate One! — At the time when he has been imprisoned by the Nizam…….
. Ramadas sings this Kirtan calling his Prabhu Rama as a Compassionate one. The hot sun is like the furnace — bound inside the prison cell — he had been whipped severely — he lived for 12 long years in this jail all alone — living in that cell one cannot know if it was day or night —
It was then that he sang, ‘Oh! Compassionate one! Oh! Compassionate one!’
What deep love (‘priyam’) must he have possessed for Rama?
He built the temple for Rama.
But he was imprisoned and whipped frequently.
And he sang, ‘Oh! Rama! I cannot bear Your Grace!’ — ‘Deenadayalo! Deenadayalo!’
The depth of his worship is seen in that with his fingernails he has carved on the rocky wall of the prison the form of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman.
He started worshipping these deities . The prison is still to be seen in Golconda (near Hyderabad) and one gets to see this carving of Ramadas even today!
Ramadas has written about 16000 Kritis on Lord Rama though what we know and sing is much less.
All the 16000 Kritis of Ramadas have been painted on wooden boards and hung on the marble walls in a ‘dhyana mandap’ built by the Government in memory of the great Rama Bhakta.
At the entrance of this mandap is a big statute of Ramadas in the attire of a Diwan while outside on top of the entrance wall is a small statue as the humble servant of the Lord!

The depth of his worship is seen in that with his fingernails he has carved on the rocky wall of the prison the form of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman. He started worshiping these deities . It really shows his pure Bakthi towards Rama. Rama Bakthi can be only felt by oneself and it can not make others to feel like that it unless they should also have some Bakthi towards Rama.
Jai Sriram
Sita Ram. Janaki Ram, Jai Jai Ram.
Thanks for sharing it. Definitely when we call, sing, chant his name “Rama”it will not only tasty but also more sweeter than anything else, I am used to calling my husband Ram, Ram, he would ask me why you are telling my name, I would say that by calling your name, I would get some virtue, since my lovable god name also Ram, so don’t feel that I am calling your,
