Greatness of India –Mahans-Rama Nama discourse series-By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji – Part- 3

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All,

 

If these above mentioned places are Holy then what to speak of the glory of

Tiruvannamalai? Ramana Maharishi came here and never left this place; Seshadri

Swamigal came to this Kshetra and never left this place; our Bhagavãn

Yogiramsuratkumar came to this Kshetra and never left this Holy Place; and so

were Mahatmas like Guhai Namasivayam, Guru Namasivayam, Virupaksha muni who came

to and lived in Tiruvannmalai. If so many Mahans came and spent all their

lifetime here and their samadhis are to be found here, can one extol on the

purity/Holiness of this Kshetra? The known ‘charitra’ (life history) of

these Mahans (Ramana Maharishi, Yogiramsuratkumar, etc.) are all within this

past hundred years. The ‘stala purana’ (history of this Holy Place) says

that five Jivan Muktas are always to be found living in this place. Therefore,

even today there are Jivan Muktas living in this place, though unseen/not

comprehended by us. How many Jivan Muktas must

have lived here in the past? If all their samadhis exist in this place, one

cannot through mere words extol the purity of this place. This is the Holiest of

all Holy places.

 

While speaking on the fruit of the tapas of women, we find that neither does

Devaki, the mother of Lord Krishna nor does Kausalya, the mother of Lord Rama

have a temple anywhere. But, the mother of Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi

(Azhagammai) has a temple in Tiruvannamalai (in Ramanashramam). It is called

Mãtrubhuteshwara temple. This is yet another proof of the fruit of tapas of

women.

 

It is indeed difficult to speak on the glory of this place if such innumerable

Mahans have come and lived in this place and attained samadhi.

 

‘Jnana tapodanarai vã enru azhaikkum malaiyãm Tiruvannamalai’ - It is

verily a Mountain that calls out to all the Jnanis to come here.

 

This is a kshetra that attracts Jnanis from all over the world. This kshetra

attracts a Jnani, wherever he is; in whichever part of the world he is and never

lets him go out. Such is the glory of this Kshetra, this Mountain. The life

histories of these Mahans stand as testimony for this.

We can find innumerable ‘arulãlargal’ (spiritually blessed) - those who do

Nãma japa, Namakirtan, those who have earned the blessings of Bhagavãn, those

who have attained lot of ‘siddhis’ (supernatural faculties) and many other

holy personalities. But, it is rare indeed to see a Mahatma who has attained the

highest state of Jivan Mukti. Our Shastras say that only due to the tapas

performed in crores of janmas (births) one attains such high state of jnana.
