They came and taught and built nothing or established any new religion, however their 'devotees' do. I put devotees in parenthesis because they really don't follow what their guru really taught, ultimately. A religion has been made of Ramana, Tiruvanamulai is a Vatican and now Ramana is an Ishtadevata or God-Figure. These 'devotees' believe that Ramana is somewhere on the astral or heaven ready to answer boons and be worshipped. The fact that Ramana was just a body name and if he was a Mukta, he wouldn't be around anywhere, escapes them in their desire to prostrate themselves. The mind boggles that they can read or follow Ramana and come up with this situation. I know he tolerated devotion to him as a point of concentration, but this new 'Religion of Ramana' is way beyond anything I have read about his teachings. No wonder man can be so easily manipulated, they are always waiting for the alpha monkey to lead them by the nose or whatever.............ONS...Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
