Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya Namaste! Work took me to Bangalore and Chennai for a few days, on June 18-21. I could manage to go to Sri Ramanasramam on June 21 evening to spend a day. Had prasadam (the feast served for dinner on Cow Lakshmi Day), did Giri Pradakshina that night and spent the next day at the Ashram. The evening tamil parayana on June 22 (and on every saturday) was of the enchanting Ramana Stuti Panchakam. Blessed indeed are Cow Sri Lakshmi and the other noble souls who attained mukti in His hands. > Her heart was centred on the Sage completely. Oh Ramana! Please bless us with Thy Grace to have our hearts attain purity and be centred on You like the immortal Cow Sri Lakshmi. om sri ramanaya namah om gurave namah suri -------------------- > We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. > > Cow Laksmi Day > > Friday, June 21, 2002 > Time: All Day --- Miles Wright <ramana.bhakta wrote: > On 17th June 1948, she fell ill, and the next > morning it became evident that her end was near.
