Photos and Photographers (4): T.P. Ramachandra Aiyar

[Guest guest]

TPR (T.P. Ramachandra Aiyar) was a native of Tiruvannamalai. His grandfather had

once taken Ramana by force to his house for lunch. TPR as a boy, had seen

Ramana. Yet the first real impact of Ramana's presence on him was only after his

collegiate education when he met him in the old Hall at Sri Ramanasramam.

Immediately he realised that Sri Ramana was the Sadguru for whom he had been

hankering for years. "It was conviction born of instant experiencing of his

grace."

 

TPR was a lawyer by profession. He was of great use in dealing with legal

matters of the Asram. For many years he was practically an inmate of the Asram

and for a couple of years he was also Ramana's attendant.

 

He has presented us a treasure in the form of a photo album containing 11

wonderful photographs of Ramana. These have been taken over the years, some of

them by TNK. They are all in sepia and are in good condition."

I am not quite sure, but I think No. 38 is taken from him. The photos in the

lower row in the attachment (middle and left) are from him.
