Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Sarada Natarajan reported a visit of Sri Muruganar in 1973, when she was a school-girl of 13 years: "When we visited the Ashram during the last vacation (June '73), we went to meet Sri Muruganar. When the question "Is it enough if I take Sri Bhagavan as my Guru and do Atma Vichara?" was posed before the great poet-saint, he was extremely moved. With tears welling up in his eyes, he said in a voice choked with emotion: "Enough! Enough! Hundred per cent sufficient!" He paused for a minute and again emphasised that point by saying that was even more than hundred per cent sufficient! He further said that Sri Bhagavan is the only everlasting illumination within us. His presence is the only existence everywhere and for all time." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarada Natarajan: My Meeting with Sri Muruganar; in: The Mountain Path 1973, p. 204 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sri Muruganar died in August of the same year (1973).

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Thanks you for sharing that Gabriele. That is very beautiful. Muruganar was such a unique case. There were some people who upon seeing Sri Ramana simply dropped everything. Bhagavan attracted some of the greatest yogis, saints, and poets of the day. Yet, when asked, he never ever encouraged any kind of visible renunciation and pointed out the need to focus on the "would be renunciate." "Wherever you go, you take your mind with you." Sri Ramana was simultaneously orthodox and completely radical at the same time!
