Photos and Photographers (5): Dr. G.H.Mees

[Guest guest]

Dr. G.H. Mees (Sadhu Ekarasa) was an outstanding scholar from Netherlands. He

met Ramana in 1936 when he was only 33 years of age. For him it was a case of

devotion, deep devotion to Ramana from the very first meeting. For many years he

had been in the physical presence of Ramana. He would just be content to bask in

the sunshine of his grace. His doubts would be answered even without his having

to articulate them. Occasionally he would put some questions, that too specially

for hearing the answers directly from Bhagavan or to see his gracious gestures.

 

Though he had taken several snaps of Ramana unfortunately only a few are

awailable. These have been given to the Centre for publication by his protege

and Ramana devotee Hamsa de Reede. These include the famous ones with a rabbit

by Ramana's side.
