Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 A few excerpts are being shared on the devotional song 'Saranagati' composed by M.V.Ramaswami Iyer in 1914. This is the first one. ***************************************************************************** Source: 'Ramana Smrti' page 194 Healing Grace by M.V.Ramaswami Iyer Bhagavan's grace continued to manifest in my life and helped me overcome all family problems. When I was transferred to Berhampore I was afflicted with boils on my legs. The pain was terrible and all medication failed. I had a fixed idea that only Arunachala could help me. One day I was surprised to find two Brahmins from Tiruvannamalai standing at my door. When I asked who knocked they replied, 'Arunachala'. They were on their way to the North and had been asked by Bhagavan to break journey at Berhampore and meet me. When they saw my pitiable condition they made a paste of tamarind mixed with some fragrant gum and smeared my legs with it. The next day there was no trace of boils. It was then that I composed the song Saranagati in praise of the Holy Feet of Bhagavan, my only refuge. This famous song has often been sung by devotees for invoking the grace of Bhagavan. ****************************************** 'Ramana Smriti' can be downloaded from the downloads page of www.ramana-maharshi.org Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya!
