Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I want to introduce to you today the Letters from Ramanashram by Suri Nagamma. Suri Nagamma was a simple Telugu woman who came to Ramana in 1941 after a long search for a spiritual master and personal disasters (loss of her perents and of her newly married husband at young age and a phase of deep depression). She settled down near the Ashram and was an eye-witness of the last years of Ramana. Encouraged by her brother and other Telugu devotees she started writing all the happenings and talks in the Hall. She did it in the form of letters to her brother. But some people had feelings of jealousy and so the ashram-authorities forbade her to continue with her letters. It was a hard struggle for her - but after a while of obedience she decided to continue her task secretly. After some time things worked out for her and Ramana helped her also to continue. So now we have this unique testimony. Nagamma writes about the happenings round Ramana much in detail. Actually I know no other one who describes so much in detail. Also I feel her letters give a very good insight into the sufferings Ramana had to bear in his later years from being imprissoned in a strict time-shedule and being restricted most time on his sofa through his status of being a Guru - which was not rosy at all. It is very heart-touching - and I know no other testimony, which shows this aspect so clearly and makes one thoughtful in view on the nowadays new-age-gurus, which show in many things quite the opposite behaviour. Besides the book of course contains a lots of talks on various matters, at times paralleled with Mudaliar's Day by Day. Just a bit of pondering about a book, which has been a very close companion in the last 2 years.
