I was born in a royal darbar,
Yet I chose renunciation over comfort.
I wrote with devotion but also with power,
And my poetry still echoes in mandirs today.
I helped build mandirs,
But I built something greater in hearts.
Maharaj loved my sharp intellect —
And my pen was as strong as my faith.
Who am I?
Brahmanand Swami
