Growing up in the Grace of Bhagavan

Childhood Memories

Monica Bose

..........

For the next nine years I was to visit the ashram during my holidays from school in Bangalore and later from college in Madras. In all that time I never saw or heard anything to belie my first impression of Bhagavan's uniqueness and greatness. Nor was I ever bored at the ashram. No day was the same. People brought here their talent in writing or reciting scripture, or singing sacred songs. They brought their doubts, troubles, griefs, and also joys. I remember a middle-aged couple who proudly sat in the hall with their baby boy whom they had called Ramana. The way they looked with adoration and gratitude at Bhagavan indicated that they believed he had granted them the boon of a child when all hope had gone.

Bhagavan always denied that he performed miracles, but there were many accounts of how he had healed someone, even at a distance, and sometimes it seemed without the knowledge of Bhagavan himself.
