Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Dear Jay, thank you very much for you posting! Only when Harsha mentioned it, I came to understand that your great grandfather TKS is T.K. Sundaresa Iyer, who has written "At the feet of Bhagavan", which I have in my bookshelf and which I like very much! I am very grateful for your posting of even the smalest incident with Sri Ramana, which your grandfather can remember and I am sure, other devotees are also. Until now we are lucky, that there are still some devotees alive, who met Sri Ramana. The day will come when we will miss this opportunity to listen to such first hand recollections. So please write down everything! I also would like to forward your postings to other Ramana-groups, who would enjoy them very much - if you agree. (Only to let you know: there are 3 other more silent -mailing-groups dedicated to Ramana: Ramana Maharshi Group, Sri Arunachala Group and Million Paths.)
