Ganapathy Muni

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

Ganapathy muni was a disciple of Ramana Maharshi.About a

year after his first meeting with Sri Bhagavan, Ganapathi Muni

experienced a remarkable outflow of his Grace. While he was sitting

in meditation in the temple of Ganapati at Tiruvottiyur he felt

distracted and longed intensely for the presence and guidance of the

Bhagavan. At that moment Sri Ramana entered the temple. Ganapathi

prostrated himself before him and, as he was about to rise, he felt

the Maharshi's hand upon his head and a terrifically vital force

coursing through his body from the touch; so that he also received

Grace by touch from the Master. Speaking about this incident in

later years, not Ganapathi Muni, but the Enlightened sage HIMSELF

Sri Ramana Maharshi said:

 

"One day, some years ago, I was lying down and awake when I

distinctly felt my body rise higher and higher. I could see the

physical objects below growing smaller and smaller until they

disappeared and all around me was a limitless expanse of dazzling

light. After some time I felt the body slowly descend and the

physical objects below began to appear. I was so fully aware of this

incident that I finally concluded that it must be by such means that

Sages using the powers of Siddhis travel over vast distances in a

short time and Appear and Disappear in such a mysterious manner.

While the body thus descended to the ground it occurred to me that I

was at Tiruvottiyur though I had never seen the place before. I

found myself on a highroad and walked along it. At some distance

from the roadside was a temple of Ganapati and I entered it."a

disciple of Ramana Maharshi.

 

These days people forget about the spiritual greatness

of India in the mad pursuit of what I call The American Dream.Where

else can we get such powers,spirituality,humilty??....but India!

Yours Yogically,
