Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 2. FOREWORD Everyone knows that Sri Bhagavan Ramana was a master story teller! Sri Ramanasramam publications, like Letters, Day by Day, and Talks, abound with marvellous accounts of how Bhagavan picturesquely narrated, rather enacted, incidents that took place in the lives of sages and saints and traditional stories of great spiritual content, like the story of Sage Ribhu. Seeing how the first edition of this book was serving devotees, the compiler, Mrs. Joan Greenblatt, worked onepointed to enlarge and improve it; the result is the excellent second edition now in your hand! We hope all seekers will find this book both interesting and enlightening and partake of the Spiritual Presence which lies within its pages and the abundant grace of the narrator Sri Ramana Himself! Sri T. N. Venkataraman President, Board of Trustees Sri Ramanasramam Maha Sivarathri 17.2.85 Various Stories & Tales Sri Bhagavan became transformed while relating incidents from his vast collection of stories and tales. On one occasion while describing Gautama's joy at Goddess Parvati's coming to his Ashram, Sri Bhagavan could not go on, for tears filled his eyes and emotion choked his voice. Trying to hide his plight from others, he remarked, " I don't know how people who perform Harikatha explain such passages to audiences and manage to do it without breaking down. I suppose they must make their hearts hard like stone before starting their work. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
