Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 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 Yogi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 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." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from Ramana Smrti ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > ______________________ > ______________________ > > Message: 3 > Thu, 30 Sep 2004 19:38:23 -0000 > "yogiman90" <yogiman90 > Bhagavan's childhood reminiscences > > 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.
