WHO IS RAMANA?

Since He has not married, He is a Brahmachari. But He has thousands

of children and so He is not a Brahmachari.

Since He has children, He may be styled as a Householder. But he has

no house of His own. As such He cannot be called a Householder.

Then, is He a sannyasi? He caters to the need of the people and feeds

them. Such a thing is not done by a sannyasi.

Is He a yathi? He does not wear kashaya and carry a dandam the

symbols of a yathi.So He is not a yathi.

Is He a Maharshi? He does not possess the long matted hair and

flowing beard etc. So can He be called a Maharshi?

Who is He? He is everything and also not everything. His presence is

everywhere. He rules the world and bestows victory. If one relies on

Him, He looks after them as an affectionate father. Surrender to Him

completely and be free.
