ON THE GLORY OF THE SIDDHAS

 

{ composed by Ramana's disciple, Vasishta Ganapati }

 

1. Bhagavan Ramana , born in the great line of Parasara ,

the son of the immaculate Sundara Pandita , with lovely

eyes , wide as the lotus-petal , bringing renown to

the earthly gods.

 

2. Dweller in Asrama on Arunachala , steadfast and stainless

Paramahamsa , assuming activity out of compassion while

ever established in the imperishable Atman.

 

3. His words dispell all doubt. His glance , like an Ankusa,

brings under control the mad elephant of the deluded mind.

he is ever active for the happiness of others and utterly

indiferent to his body's needs.

 

4. His body glows like a ripe mango. Absolute master

of the fickle senses , he is wedded to the immortal Valli*

who is pure awareness. In a few words he conveys the

substance of all scriptures.
