Baghwan Sri Ramana & Ambaal

[Guest guest]

Sub : Bhagwan Sri Ramana Bhakti and Ambaal

 

 

 

 

 

· The Maharisi was approached by people with different attitudes like

sceptics,agnostics,thesists,atheists,seekers of miracles and frame questions as

per their interests. The glory of Sri Ramana lay in removing the attitudes and

enable the person to focus of realising the supreme.

 

· Bhagawan Sri Ramana’s central teaching is : SELF ENQUIRY as most of

his talks would revolve around vichaara like “ who am I “. He used to say that

this is the greatest japa parayana. For those who follow this method no other

sadhana is necessary and the fruit is the SELF REALISATION.

 

· At the same time for a very few great Sri Vidya Upasakas like

Kavyakanda Ganapathy Muni,SIR Chidanandanathar,sri jagadisha sastrigal,kurram

Subbaramyya,Suri Nagamma , He would subtly reveal many times that through Sri

Vidya sadhana one can unfold Atma Sakshatkaram and to these specific

individuals HE would constantly dwell on BHAKTI as means to reach the same goal

.. When one goes through the books on Sri Ramana, if one is an Upasaka such

instances concerning Ambaal would unusually attract their attention and re

assure the greatness of the chosen upasana marga.

Few instances are compiled below:

· Whenever these great Mahaans would visit Bagawaan, He would switch over

his talk from Gyanaa to Bhakti and lecture on the importance of Bhakti. This is

despite the fact that some of these people were very well read in the

Vedas,Vedantas and sastras like Brahma Sri Thethiyoor Jagadeesha Sastrigal.

Tears would roll down, when Bagwan would speak on the Lord Arunachala Siva and

the presiding Devi Unna Mulai.

 

· It is a well-known fact that Bagawaan was none other than LORD

SUBRAMANYA himself in human form. When the Kumkum prasad was brought to him from

Madurai Meenakshy temple by one Rangamma, Bhagawan looking at it with tears

masking his eyes said that this has been sent by my mother Abhaya Sahayamibikai

the presiding deity at Thirichuzi ( Ramana’s birth place).

 

 

 

 

 

· Ramana used to frequent Pacchai Amman temple a Durga temple at

Tiruvannamali . When his devotees remarked about the decreasing Sannidhyam of

the temple , he dug a particular place near the Vigraham and took out the SRI

CHAKRA to the surprise of the devotees and after rectifying a defect reinstalled

it.

 

· When Sri Ramana’s Mother left the body,his close sishya Sri Muruganaar

announced the passing away, Bhagawan immediately remarked “ THAAN THANAVE

AANAR”(that became that) meaning the final merge of the mother’s Jivaatma to the

Paramaatma. When his disciples decided to construct a temple for her

arrangements were made for a SRI CHAKRA, which was personally consecrated and

installed by Sri Ramana himself. The lingam is now worshipped as “ MATHRU

BUTHESWARARA “ in the Ashram.

 

 

 

 

 

· Later on Sri Chakra was also installed by Bagawan on the Adishtaanam of

Sesadri Swamigal at Tiruvannamalai and the Sri Chakram installed at the

Vaishnavi Devi temple at Tirumullai Vayil near Madras is also blessed by Sri

Ramana.

 

· There is another interesting episode on the great 1000 hymns composed

by Kavya Kanda Ganapathy in praise of Ambaal, which is known as UMA SAHASRAM.

The muni could not proceed beyond 700 slokams and on the last day before the day

of dedication, the Muni expressed his in ability to Sri Ramana to compose beyond

700 Hyms. Bhagawan immediately summoned 4 great Sanskrit scholars at night to

Pachhai amman temple for taking notes and while Baghwan was in Constant stare at

the Muni , 300 balance Hyms just poured out of the Muni and the speed of

dictation was so fast that each Sanskrit scholar just had time to write down

one of the respective four line of the hymn . After completion of 1000 hymns Sri

Ramana reviewed all the 1000 hymns, while there were corrections on the 700 of

the hymns composed by the Muni, no coreections were made to the 300 hymns. The

dedication of Uma Sahasram Proceeded smoothly the next day before the leading

SriVidya Sadhakas.

 

 

 

 

 

· On 19th April 1937, an orthodox gentleman asked about Sri chakra

 

 

 

For which Sri ramana replied,It has deep significance and used for worship and

concentration of mind. The mind, which always wanders outside, is checked and

turned within. Its habit is to dwell in names and forms for all objects external

possess names and forms. Such names and forms are made and symbolic mental

conceptions in order to divert the mind from external to internal and make it

dwell within itself. The idols, mantras and yantras are all meant to give food

to the mind in its introvert state, so that it may later become capable of being

concentrated for reaching the superb state of SELF automatically.

 

· On 16th Nov 1936 a devotee asks about TANTRIC SADHANAS.

 

 

 

Does tantric sadahana bring about self realisation….. YES

 

Which worship in TANTRA is best……It depends on temperament.

 

What part does kundalini play in bringing about self realisation……kundalini

raises from any lakshya that you have kundalini in life current or prana shakti

 

Different deities are said to reside in different Chakras does one see them in

course of sadhana….. they can be seen if desired.

 

Does the path to self realisation go through samadhi…… they are synonymous.

 

It is said that the guru can make his disciple realise the self by transmitting

some of his own power to him. Is it true…..Yes, the guru does not bring self

realisation but removes the obstacles to it as the self is always realised.

 

Is there absolute necessity of guru for self realisation…..so long as you seek

self realisation the guru is necessary. Guru is the self. the disappearance of

this sense of duality is removal of ignorance and so long as duality persists

guru is necessary.. you are the self so is the guru

 

(IN SRI VIDYA WE LEARN FROM GURU THAT THE SADHAK,GURU MANTRA AND DEVI ARE SAME )
