What an exquisite bhajan. For me, it expresses both the playfulness of the little child and the mothers’ love and care. I feel healed by this beautiful expression of love as I continue to work on improving my self-esteem and accepting my oneness with the Self.

Listening to the singer’s beautiful voice, and singing the words quietly along with her, I feel I have arrived at a place where waves of bliss and sweetness are moving in my heart. The image of the tiny feet of baby Lord Rama evokes tenderness and gentleness within me.

Listening to this song sweetens my heart. I remember reading the English text and meaning years ago. Yet, now, when I heard the bhajan sung by this playful, compassionate, and gentle voice, it seemed as though I literally could feel the charming sweetness of little Rama and the delight and loving care of his father’s queens.
To me, the entire bhajan is a vibrant testament to mutual love and affection. I also adore how Tulsidas’s devotion is expressed in it. I find it so amazing that even though there is so much space and time between Tulsidas’s time and mine, his inner vision, love, and words can still touch my heart so directly. I feel very grateful for the poet-saints and the way their poetry is kept alive on the Siddha Yoga path.

My inner child feels warmly caressed by this sweet song. I feel loved and sheltered as I listen to it and read the lyrics. It brings me gentle healing energy.

I’m very grateful to Gurumayi for this wonderful and very blessed satsang. When I was listening to the bhajan, my eyes spontaneously closed. I could imagine Lord Rama as a baby. I felt the shakti he holds and the way he makes others feel joyful. Viju’s voice brought me into the presence of Lord Rama as a baby.

I enjoyed hearing this bhajan, sung in Viju’s golden voice, along with the many other Siddha Yogis in the Siddha Yoga Universal Hall.
This was my favorite bhajan in childhood. I love this bhajan very much. I’m fond of it as my younger son recently started to walk, in just the way described in Thumaka Chalata Ramachandra, especially in the first verse. So this bhajan makes me think both of Lord Ramachandra and of my son.

It was a beautiful Celebration Satsang with Gurumayi today. My heart was filled with love when I heard this bhajan sung during the satsang. I listened to this bhajan as a teenager and it always brought tears to my eyes. I just realized today that I was experiencing God in my heart at those times many years ago, and I continue to do so.
