Dear friends

 

Can someone here help me with a quote from a book

related to childhood experience of Bhagavan ?

 

This story is narrated by an friend of Sri ramana and I would be

grateful for any help on it ..

 

It is an experience narrated by a childhood friend of Sri Ramana ,

where sometime around this `death' experience of Bhagavan ,

he would

sit meditating by himself and had stopped interacting with his

friends. This person saw Bhagavan meditating in his room and asked

him to show him some spiritual experience and the young Ramana

placed his finger on his friend's forehead and gave him an

experience as an effulgent light at the center of his eyebrows and

he felt deep bliss.

 

Most probably this is from BV Narasimha book , Self realization but

I do not have the book.

 

I would be grateful for any help on this .

 

yours in Bhagavan

Dear Yogi,

 

there is a story in Ramana Smrti Souvenir, 1980.

It is in the article by Krishnamurti Aiyer: 'Sri Ramana's Boyhood in

Madurai'.

Sri Natarajan has put this story in parts into his Ramana-biography:

'Timeless in Time' (p. 24).

 

The story is narated by Narayanasami, a friend of the young Ramana.

It happened in Madurai - if before or after the great death-experience is

not said,

but as Ramana seemed not have to show any liking for meditation and silent

sitting before

one may conclude that it was afterwards.

 

Kind Regards

Gabriele

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"Narayanasami said that he used to see his frind [i.e. the young Ramana]

sitting still

for long stretches of time in the small room on the first floor.

Narayanasami asked Ramana whether he could also do likewise.

Forthwith Ramana told his friend to squat on the floor with his legs crossed

(as in the semi-padmasana pusture) and pressed a pencil point midway between

his eyebrows. Narayanasami lost sense of body and world and sat still in a

trance for more than half an hour. When he came to himself he saw in front

of him his friend Ramana with his face wreathed in smiles. Narayanasami said

that he failed when he tried to repeat the experience by himself."
