Selections From Sri Ramana Sannidi Murail Cont'd

 

Homage to the Presence

A Garland of Adoration

by Sri Murugana

 

Professor Swaminathan' s translation

 

P.115

 

HAVING REACHED HIS LOTUS FEET

 

1139

 

Even those who meditate on nothing

Would meditate with mind

firm-fixed

on bright,rich Sonai* Hill.

 

Those who worship the Lotus Feet**

of Lord Ramana,

The Jnani who constantly beholds

That Hill,

They are the real Knowers.

 

 

*Sonai means 'splendour of light' and is often used as another name for

Arunachala.

 

** Appended are some notes on the Lotus Feet posted by members.

indeed, thank you, purnima. as the hindu simile says, the lotus

grows in ths swamp, its root and stem surrounded by dirt, mud

and vermin; yet it remains ever pure, and even water itself cannot

stick to it and spoil the pristine cleanness... so the guru's feet,

even though apparently wallowing in the dust of the world,

remain ever pure and unaffected.

 

padanamaskaram, ramanaji!

Muruganar eventually attained Self Realisation through Sri Bhagavan's Grace.

oh yes!

 

jai jai ramana,

who by mere mention of his name,

conveys his grace

forming this company of friends

jai ramana,

whose mere remembrance

elicits the purest and noblest in us

paving the road

to our very own

one and only

self

which we never

left.

The One Awareness,

That,the cause

Creating the whole universe,

That One you are, Oh Ramana,

And you are too the source,

The Awareness

which peceives the world.

You are the One,the whole.
