Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 ******************************************************************** 10th April 1946 In the afternoon Mr. Narayanaswamy Aiyar's daughter, married to our Sundaresa Aiyar's son, sang a few songs and then related the following miracle: "In Cawnpore(Kanpur), we are living on the third floor of a house, and we are the only residents on that floor. We have a tap there, but water rarely rises upto that level and daily we have to go down several flights of stairs and climb up with all the water necessary for us. My husband used to do this work daily for me. It was too much for him. And I was too weak to be able to help him in this daily task. One day, when I was alone in the house and my husband was in his office, I was pondering over this hard situation of ours and how we were to find a solution for this. I had kept the empty vessel before the tap and was singing in a pensive mood. The I began singing the song Saranagati. (this is a song well known among Bhagavan's devotees. It was composed by M.V. Ramaswami Aiyar and is sung by him and the members of his family whenever they want Bhagavan to interpose and avert evil from them or bring them good). It says in brief " We take shelter under you and you are our sole refuge. who else is there to whom we can turn? If you delay to come to our rescue, we can bear it no longer. So, come at once, end my misery, give me happiness!' Then the water began to trickle down the tap and kept on flowing more as I went on with the song. So I sang till all our vessels were filled with water. When my husband returned home,he was surprised to find so much water and could not conceive how I could have got all that water. Then I told him, " I have now discovered a secret device for getting water. If I sing Saranagati I can get water.' My husband naturally could not believe it and so I tried the same device again in his presence and water flowed from the tap. I have tried other songs. But they don't give the same result. Afterwards when I fell ill and father came to see me, I told him about this and he too could not believe it till I again repeated the experiment before him and he saw it succeeded. He asked me to try other songs. I did. But none of them produced the same result." The girl told all this with great glee and there was such a ring of truth about the whole narration that I consider it would be absurd to doubt the truth of the experience.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hello Vijay, The lyrics are in 'Ramana Smrti'. The postings will follow. I am aware of these two sources for CDs (not cassettes): 1) The CD is available from www.arunachala.org (Audios) Bhaje Ramana Namam is the name of CD (by Mrs. Sangeetha Swaminathan) 2) Search for Message #12218 in this newsgroup. In India, a CD by Malgudi Subha is available. CDs are available from www.celextel.com In Bhagavan's grace, -ramasamy RamanaMaharshi, vijaysk wrote: > > Can anyone say where the song lyrics(in tamil) is available?Any audio > cassette of the said song is available?Thanks in advance. > vijaysk > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
