I am a Certified Teacher of Classical Hatha Yoga ( Sivananda Style ) from Chennai ,India. Though in the mortal form, he lived as the beauty and purity of the Infinite.įace to Face with Sri Ramana Maharshi, p.226Ībout Me Name: Krishna Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India He was there for all to see how a Master can live in perfect detachment. Sri Ramana was the highest reality and the cream of all scriptures in the world. Sri Ramana is not a theme for discussion he is an experience he is a state of consciousness. After my college days, my political work, and after my years of stay at Uttarkashi at the feet of my master, Tapovanam I knew that what I gained on the Ganges banks was that which had been given to me years before by the saint of Tiruvannamalai on that hot summer day – by a mere look.ĭuring the course of a talk in 1982 the Swami said: My reason gave me strength and I said to myself, ‘It is all mesmerism, my own foolishness.’ Thus assuring myself, I got up and walked away.īut the boy who left the hall was not the boy who had gone in some ten minutes before. I felt opened, cleaned, healed, and emptied! A whirl of confusions: my atheism dropping away, but scepticism flooding into question, wonder, and search. I cannot explain what happened in that one split moment. I felt that the Maharshi was, in that split moment, looking deep into me – and I was sure that he saw all my shallowness, confusions, faithlessness, imperfections, and fears. The Maharshi suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight into mine: I looked into his. I sat down at the very foot of the couch. As I entered, I saw on the couch an elderly man, wearing but a loincloth, reclining against a round bolster. I chose to take the next available train to Tiruvannamalai.Īt the Ashram I was told that the Maharshi was in the hall and anybody was free to walk in and see him. Though I was at that time a convinced atheist, I was deeply drawn to visit the Maharshi’s Ashram. The word ‘Maharshi’ conjured up in my mind ancient forest retreats and superhuman beings of divine glow. Thereafter, the talk of my fellow travellers turned to Ramana Maharshi. Inquiring about it, I was told that it was the Tiruvannamalai Temple. As the train steamed through the countryside at a halting speed, most of the passengers in my compartment suddenly peered through the windows in great excitement and bowed reverently to an elaborate temple beyond. On a package railway ticket I was roaming through South India. I was just emerging from high school, exams were over. Swami Chinmayanada has beautifully written about what "Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi " means based on his own personal visit to him Swami Chinmayananda (Balakrishna Menon) was the founder of the Chinmaya Mission.
