Dr. T. N. Krishnaswamy

 

Here Dr. T.N. Krishnaswamy gives an account of his

experience as the 'official photographer' of the Ashram.

As confirmed by Sri Bhagavan, the Divine assumes a

visible, physical form out of Grace to give solace and

guidance to devotees. The importance of Sri Bhagavan's

pictures is therefore obvious.

 

Owing to my busy life in Madras I could usually spend only a day

or a part of a day at Tiruvannamalai when I went there. I always took

my camera with me and I used to spend the whole time with the

Maharshi and take as many photos of him as I could. I have

photographed him walking, sitting, eating, wiping his feet.

I have caught him smiling and laughing and,

speaking and silent, and also in Samadhi.

 

Once he was going up the Hill when it started to rain and

he was offered a home-made palm-leaf umbrella and I snapped

him using it. I took another picture of him using an ordinary

umbrella and smiling broadly as he did so.
