108 Pranams to Sri Ramana

[Guest guest]

Om Namo Bhagavathe Sri Ramanaaya

Dear Friends in Ramana

It is indeed a special and quiet inner celebration we share today, for it is

exactly 108 years since the Youth Venkataraman entered into the Inner Sanctum

of Arunachalesvarar Temple, flinging his arms around the Siva Lingam, and

melting into one with His Father. There was no-one there to prevent this act,

prohibited as it would normally have been, and this can but be the Grace and

welcoming of Lord Arunachala as He greets the Son with whom he is well pleased.

Since the experience in his uncle's house in Madurai, the young Swami had

experienced a yearning which had expressed itself as a tugging throb, a burning

headache which had persisted until this moment of embracement, but now it had

vanished into nothing as Ramana's journey had reached its very end.

This offering of 108 pranams is made to Sri Bhagavan. Please accept them, Lord,

in the measure with which they are offered. And as The Quickening was

dramatised and completed for you, so please let it be the same for us who

suffer under the illusion that we are bound, that we may waken from the mists

which we in error for ourselves create.

Please take this offering now, to do with what you will.
