Innastu Bekenna Hrudayakke Rama is a beautiful, melodious, devotional song in Kannada. This is not just a devotional song, but a complete surrender to lord Rama. A silent and cute conversation with lord Rama by his devotee. It explains the presence of Rama in every breath, every struggle, every moment.
I first heard this song in a calm, soulful voice in a temple. And something in it stayed with me. Not just the words, but the emotion behind every line. It felt like someone was opening their heart and talking directly to the God. Below is the Kannada song lyrics with its English meaning.

Song English Translation & Meaning
Innastu bekenna hrudayakke Rama
Ninnashtu nemmadiyu ellihudo Rama
How much more does my heart need, O Rama?
Because the peace you bring — I cannot find it anywhere else.
Even with everything in life, my heart still feels incomplete without Rama. Nothing else seems to satisfy. His presence alone gives true peace — the kind that settles deep within.
Ninnishtadantena ittiruve Rama
Nannishtadantella kottiruve Rama
You created me as you wished, Rama,
And yet you fulfilled all my wishes too.
This stanza feels like a thank-you note. The singer accepts that life is shaped by divine will, yet there is gratitude for receiving what the heart longed for. It’s a humble surrender and a realization that both giving and receiving come from Him.
Kashtagala kodabeda ennalare Rama
Kashta sahisuv sahane kodu nanage Rama
I can’t ask you to take away my pain, Rama.
Just give me the strength to go through it.
Instead of asking for an easy life, the prayer asks for strength — a rare kind of devotion. The kind that trusts Rama enough to say, “Let the pain come if it must, just be with me through it.”
Olitinede munnedeva manavakodu Rama
Seletakke sigadante sthirate kodu Rama
Let my mind walk toward goodness, Rama,
And don’t let temptations pull me away.
This verse is a prayer for stability. For discipline. For the ability to stay rooted in values even when life pulls in a hundred directions.
Ninnegal paapagala sonnaagisu Rama
Naaḷegaḷu punyagala haadiyaagali Rama
Please erase the sins of my past, Rama.
And let my future walk on the path of good deeds.
It’s a soft request for a new beginning. A fresh chance. The singer is not ashamed, but honest — asking to be cleansed and redirected.
Nanna baalige ninna hasiva kodu Rama
Nanna toḷige ninna kasuvu kodu Rama
Give my life the hunger for you, Rama.
Give my arms the strength that comes from you.
Here, the devotion becomes intense. The desire is not for wealth or power — but for longing itself. The wish is to always crave His presence, to have His strength flowing through every action.
Kannu kaladaru ninna kanasu kodu Rama
Nanna haranake ninna charana kondu Rama
Even if I lose my sight, let me still dream of you, Rama.
And if I go astray, come and lead me back.
Even if the world fades, the devotee wants to keep the vision of Rama alive in the soul. And if mistakes are made, the hope is that Rama won’t give up — that He’ll always find His way to bring the heart home.
Kausalyeyaguvenu maḍilaliruva Rama
Vaidehiyaguvenu oḍanaadu Rama
Let me be Kausalya and hold you in my lap, Rama.
Let me be Sita and walk beside you always.
The devotee doesn’t care about roles. Whether it’s a mother’s love or a wife’s companionship — all that matters is closeness to Rama, in any form.
Paadukeya taleyalidu Bharatanaguvenu Rama
Sahavaasa kodu nanage Saumitri Rama
Let me place your sandals on my head like Bharata, Rama.
And give me your company like Lakshmana.
Even a small part of Rama — like His sandals — is enough to worship. And His companionship is all the soul needs. This stanza shows the highest forms of respect and loyalty.
Sugreevanaguvenu sneha kodu Rama
Hanumanaguvenu ninna seva kodu Rama
Make me Sugriva — bless me with friendship.
Make me Hanuman — bless me with service.
Whether as a friend or as a servant, the prayer asks for connection. To share love, to serve without ego, to be part of something divine — that is enough.
Shabariyaguvenu ninna bhaava kodu Rama
I’ll be Shabari — just give me that pure devotion, Rama.
Shabari waited for years with nothing but love. That’s the kind of devotion this song longs for — not flashy or loud, but steady, simple, and full of faith.
Maḍilalli maraṇakodu naa Jatayuvu Rama
Muḍiyalli adiyanidu naa Ahalyeyu Rama
Let me die in your lap like Jatayu, Rama.
Place your foot on my head like you did to Ahalya.
In life or in death, the devotee wants Rama’s touch. These lines express the desire for liberation — not from pain, but from separation.
Naa Vibhishana sharana bhaava kodu Rama
Nannolage Ravanage saavu kodu Rama
Let me be like Vibhishana — surrendered to you.
And destroy the Ravana within me, Rama.
There’s a Ravana in all of us — the ego, the anger, the pride. The song asks Rama to help overcome it, so the heart can truly surrender.
Kannira kareyuvenu nannatana kale Rama
Ninnolage karaguvanu nirmoha kodu Rama
Through these tears, melt away my ego, Rama.
Let me dissolve into you — give me freedom from attachment.
These lines are intimate. Personal. They say — “Let this human identity fade, and let only your presence remain in me.”
R̥ata neene r̥itu neene shruti neene Rama
Mati neene gati neene dyuti neene Rama
You are the truth, the seasons, the scriptures, Rama.
You are the mind, the path, and the light itself.
Now the song rises. Rama is not just a person. He is the entire universe — every truth, every time, every wisdom.
Aarambha astitva antya nee Rama
Poorna nee prakatana nee aananda Rama
You are the beginning, the existence, and the end, Rama.
You are fullness, revelation, and bliss itself.
This is where the devotee completely dissolves the self. Nothing remains except Rama — as everything, everywhere.
Hara neene Hari neene Brahma nee Rama
Guri neene guru neene arivu neene Rama
You are Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, Rama.
You are the goal, the teacher, and the knowledge itself.
All names become one. Every path, every form of God — leads to Rama. He is the end of the search, the teacher on the way, and the truth we discover at the end.
