104th Anniversary of advent at Arunachala

[Guest guest]

On the morning of 1st September 1896, Ramana stepped of the train at Tiruvannamalai.

Immediately he proceeded to the temple of Arunachalesvara where all the doors

stood open, although the temple was empty. He entered the inner shrine and

standing before His Father he experienced great ecstasy and boundless joy. His

journey was over.

maharshim ramanam namaami kaartikeyam naraakrtim /

"I bow to Ramana Maharshi, Kartikeya (Son of Shiva) in human form."

================================================

During the Virupaksha cave days, once Bhagavan Ramana composed a verse in

Tamil on "Vinayaka". In this verse, Bhagavan refers to himself as

"Pinvandhan" (one who came after) with reference to Ganesha. This verse

gave immense joy to Kavyakanta Ganapathi Sastry who considered Ramana

as an incaranation of Kartikeya.

 

Today, the day of Vinayaka chaturthi when we worship Vinayaka we also

celebrate the Anniversary of his Pinvandhan's arrival at Arunachala.

 

Thank you Sri Miles for this Glorious Verse reminding us of the Devine

link on this Doubly Auspicious Day!
