Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 GANAPATI MUNI DAY To day is Celebrated as Ganapati Muni Day at Ramanasramam (see Ashram calendar from main Ramanasramam site). Ganapati Muni was regarded as a great Sanskrit Poet and given the honorific title of the Kavyakanta. he was a great Yogi, and had many disciples. he came from Andra, but when visiting Arunachala saw the young Brahmana Swami on the Hill. He immediately recognised his greatness, became his devotee and gave him the name of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi! Ramana said he was like a brother to him, and they used to roam the hill together and go swimming. The Muni and his disciples asked Bhagavan a series of questions on his teaching and this has been immortalised in the famed RAMANA GITA. There are many inspiring stories about him, and his biography is published by Ramanasramam. He was loyal to Bhagavan up to his death, and was an interpreter of the Vedas, as well as author of many mythological epic poems. He wrote The Forty Verses In Praise Of Ramana, published in the masterly Sat-Darshan Bhashya, a commentary on Bhagavan's 40 Verses on Reality, written under his supervision, by his brilliant pupil Kapali Sastriar. Here is one of the 40 Verses in Praise of Bhagavan by the Muni 22 Salutations to Sri Ramana, the universal Master, the dispeller of misery from the world, the One who chases away the darkness of his devotees and displays himself as the Eternal Consciousness inhering in the heart, blazing both within and without, bereft of the least trace of ignorance, the One who shines as the transcedental Truth underlying the world and beyond! alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
