DEAR ALL,

 

many of us would have listened to the Ramakrishan

Arathrikam Cassettee containing the Aarthi song and

others played at RKM centres during evenng aarthi.

 

the pinnacle of the cassette, in my view, is the last

Ramakrishna Stotram by Swamiji, perhaps penned in a

fleeting moment of inspiration or planned earleir. It

starts as 'Aaa Chandala...'

 

i wish to know from any of you, the verbatim exact

words ofthe full song as well as its meaning in

english. moreover, if soemone can tell as to when

Swamiji penned it, it would be nice. also, i am keen

to knwo who sang the opening two stanza in asilent

mode since the rendering is so moving and

exhilarating.

 

looking upto all details. thanks.

 

jay ramakrishna dev ki,

 

Chellamani
