ANIMALS AND BIRDS MOURNED PASSSING AWAY OF SRI RAMANA

 

The following event which happened at the time of Sri Ramana's

mahasmadhi at 8.47 p.m. on 14th April 1950, and which seems to have

gone unnoticed, has now been recorded by A.R. Natarajan and Dr. Sarda

based on their interview of Ranganathan, washermen at Sri

Ramanasramam, who said:

 

At the time of Bhagavan's mahasmadhi I saw the amazing star moving

across the sky. But what touched me deeply was the sight of the

animals and birds in the Ramanasramam weeping at that moment. I saw

crows, cows, monkeys, dogs, and peacocks having tears brimming from

their eyes. ( Source: The Ramana Way, December 2005)

Editor's note: It is also possible that the washerman visualized

his own state of mind in the animal kingdom.
