Of all the Saints,
My gravitation
Was instant
The moment I
Put my foot
For the first ever
Time in
Ramanashram
About thirty years ago.
I just stood
There in the
Entry precinct
To the shrine of
Matru Bhudeshwar
In front of
About 3 feet
Cloth screen placed
- you can see it even
Today -
On the right side
Before you enter the
Inner temple housing
The Sanctum
Of Matru Bhudeshwar.
What's so special about
The screen?
It carries the
Very narrative of
Bhagavan's 'aatma vichara'-
Best known to
All his devotees as
His, 'Who am I? '.
That time
My comprehension was
Not up-to the mark.
Yet I read the narrative from
The very first to the last.
Despite this constraint,
I could feel some sinking in.
Ever since that,
Must say,
Found the Gnana Guru,
Whom Paul Brandon
Was directed to by
None other than
The Kanchi Maha Swami.
Nonetheless my going back to
Is Bhagavan time and again,
My Bible is
Maha Swami's -
தெய்வத்தின் குரல் -
Now I am in Volume 3.
Om Sri Gurubhyo Namah
