Incident Where Ramana Maharshi Asks Ganapati Muni Who Am I

[Guest guest]

Sri Bhagavan was in the Virupaksha Cave on the Hill. One evening after 7

p.m. they were all coming down the Hill to go round Arunachala. The other

devotees had all gone in advance; only Sri Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni was in

the company of Sri Maharshi, and they were slowly climbing down the steps

from the cave.

 

Whey they had walked a few steps, all of a sudden Sri Maharshi stopped, and

with Him Sri Kavyakanta as well. The full moon was shining bright in the

East in the starry sky.Pointing to the moon and the beautiful sky, Sri

Bhagavan said: " Nayana! If the sun, the moon, and all the stars have their

being in ME, and the Sun himself goes round my hip with his satellites, who

am I? who am I?''

 

This remark of Sri Maharshi made His blessed disciple envisage the Master as

the Great Person of the Vedas, as described in 'Sri Rudra,' the 'Purusha

Sukta,' and the 'Skamba Sukta,' of the Atharva Veda. He is verily all these,

and That beyond; there is nothing that is not He. Sri Kavyakanta later made

this revelation known to all the devotees.
