Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Muruganar was someone special. Upon seeing the Sage of Arunachala, everything dropped away from him. He has left such a clear record of Bhagavan's teaching in his poetry. Even the dust from the feet of such devotees is sacred.
