ETERNAL GURU 12

[Guest guest]

Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya,

 

One of my friends' son was forced to take up Chartered Aaccountant

Course after his B.Com., much against his wish, who was very much

interested in MBA. After a tough period at Chennai, he abadoned the

course and joined a salt manufacturing unit at Tuticorin at a paltry

salary.

 

A pious boy so much devoted to our Eternal Guru was longing for a good

job in Chennai so that he can pursue MBA also and earn good money. One

day he got an information from his friend to come to Chennai to join a

leading Electronic Dealer as Accountant with a solid increase in salary.

 

He happily resigned his job and shifted himself to Chennai. When I was

away from my home, this boy caught me over my cell and told me that he

was cheated that the Dealer offered even a lesser salary than what he

was receiving. He said "uncle, I am in the streets now" and broke out.

 

I consoled him and asked him to go immediately to Ramanashram, spend

some time in the Sannathi of our Guru and then go round the Hill. He

immediately did that.

 

Within 2 / 3 days he got a job with a BPO at Chennai where he not only

learnt his job but earned handsome salary. He made monthly visits to

Annamalai and went round the Holy Hill several times. Now he is in a

foreign country earling good salary.

 

Giri Pradikshinam is such a powerful deed one should do at least once

in one's life time. It gives everything in plenty as we want - may be

at the most appropriate time.

 

Verse 17 of Arunachala Akshara Mana Maalai :-

 

GIRI URUVAAGIYA KRUIBAI KADALE

KRIBAI KOORNTHARULUVAAI ARUNACHALA !

 

You are a ocean of grace in the form of a Hard Hill - take pity and

grace me O! Arunachala !

 

The Holy Hill is Lord Shiva Himself. Our Eternal Guru highlighted this

fact to the devotees more than once. To prove this, Bhagavan Himself

circumambulated the Holy Hill several times.

 

Once He was staring through the window at the Holy Hill without a blink

of an eye and a devotee asked our guru "Anga YENNA paakarel" - What is

it you are seeing there?. Bhagavan replied in His typical way "YENNA

paakaren" - seeing ME.

 

Ramanaarpanam.
