Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Harii OM! Dear Ones, The following incident took place at Sri Ramanashram,Tiruvannamalai somedecades ago.It was a Mahasivaratri day. The devotees dined along with the Bhagawan.Then they all assembled in the main hall and the Maharishi was reclining onthe bed in his usual pose and poise. It was 8 in the night.A devotee got up, paid obeisance to the Bhagawan and requested him :" Bhagawan , today is an auspicious day, MahaSivaratri. We all will begrateful if Bhagawan could explain to us the meaning of Dakshinamurthysthothram." Bhagawan replied " yes, I shall. Please sit down. "All sat down. Bhagawan did not speak anything. He was silent. All thoseassembled there were looking at Bhagawan. Bhagawan was looking atthem, Grace oozing out of his eyes. (Ramana Maharshi)There was total silence. No one moved; nothing moved except time.The clock struck nine... Still Bhagawan was silent. Stillness everywhere.Time moved forward. The clock struck ten, eleven, twelve., one, two,three.It was all silence, total and complete. All the assembled devotees and theBhagawan were looking at each other.No one even whispered.They were all transported to a Divine world of bliss. Many felt something moving up their spines! It was Bliss all over.And the clock struck four. Maharishi got up. It took them a minute torealize this small movement and they too got up.Maharishi said : " Now, you all know the meaning of Dakshinamurthysthothram " and he walked away. Ramana Maharshi as a youngkid portrayed as Shankaracharya-Dakshinamurthi RupaThis incident was narrated by sri T.K.Sundaresa Iyer, an ardent devoteeof Bhagawan Ramana Maharishi.Indeed, silence is eloquent. With Love & OM! Krishna Prasad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
