Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Page 90 It is distinctly stated in the Upanishads that the lifeforce of a Brahmanishtha never leaves his body , but inheres in the heart itself.If the Samahdi tomb is properly maintained and approached it will confer inestimable bliss on the devotee granting him boons.This view is supported by Tirumular's "Tiru-mantram' , a Tamil classic , which states that the Jnani , whether in the embodied or disembodied state , is Brahman Himself and , as the Guru of all his children , personally takes care of them and blesses them.This authorative work also proclaims the omnipresent character of the jnani after giving up his body .Again , the Agamas state that , even if the Brahmanishtha has decided to cast off his coat and take up his abode elsewhere , he leaves in his old body one of his sixteen kalas,which is all powerful , to shed forth his blessing..... When Sri Ramana lay dying people went to him and begged him to remain for a while longer as they needed his help.His reply is well known. "Go ! Where can I go ? I shall always be here " -0O0- This passage interests me as I shall be visiting the Ashram from April 29-May 8 on my way back from Hobart to visit family there ..Does any one know any Tasmanian devotees ? P.S.THe Upadesa Sarum Study Postings will continue tomorrow with verse 4 Love to all , in His Grace , Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
