Srimathi T.R. Kanakammal who belongs to the older generation of devotees is a well known personality. The intensity of her devotion may be gauged from the fact that she is living in close proximity to the Ashram since decades. Here Kanakammal narrates a series of episodes centred on Sri Bhagavan. This is in addition to her general account of Arunachala & its greatness as well as a good explanation bringing out the speciality of Sri Bhagavan’s personality & teachings. Kanakammal’s presence in Sri Bhagavan’s hall when the events took place coupled with her association with eminent devotees like Muruganar whose reminiscences are so valuable, lends charm to her writing. Her sound knowledge of Tamil & Telugu strengthens the authenticity of her account. Since Sri Bhagavan never adopted a pontifical attitude, it was left to devotees to record with care his utterances as well as actions (which had a deep significance). The author has played this role well. Through a study of this book devotees & seekers will also get a clear picture of life at the Ashram.

BHAGAVAN SRI RAMANA GOD-REALITY INCARATE :-If a man were to do the greatest deed in the world & come & sit in the presence of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi he would realize that his deed was as nothing compared to the perpetual Deed of Self-realization of the Sage. If a man were to write the greatest book in the world & come & lay it as an offering before the Sage he would realize that the Sage was a greater Book, which is written from day, not with the medium of pen & ink & paper, but without intermediation, & without any conscious effort, in the inner being of all who care to come & read it. The request to contribute an article for this Jubilee Volume has been received by the writer of this article with mixed feelings. An endeavour to write about the philosophy of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi is like painting the lily. It is impossible to cleare way or form than he has done himself. There remains the popularization of his philosophy. But that is like vivisection of the lily. A further difficulty is that the philosophy & the life of Sri Ramana Maharshi aer inextricably connected. In the case of other personalities it is always possible to make a distinction between theory & practice, or between spirituality & intellect on the one hand & action on the other hand. With the Maharshi no such distinction exists. East & west meet in maharshi:- Can you imagine being influenced more greatly by a man you have never spoken to than by any other man you have ever met? I am not referring merely to ideas or instance with Jesus Christ & sincere Christians, or Krishna, Vishnu or Shiva amongst different sects of Hindus, or of Mohamed vis-a-vis the majority of Mussalmans. It is possible, no doubt, to have a direct spiritual or psychic experience of such which will completely alter one’s life. For instance, the story of St. Paul is typical; but what we are concerned with have is one’s experience of men in the flesh. Have you, then ever been with a man almost constantly, during the daytime, for three days & never spoken to him because speech seemed superfluous; & yet have gone away with his image imprinted more firmly in your heart & mind than those of persons you have know intimately for many years?

It is said the words of a jnani are equal in power, stature & authority to the cherished Vedas themselves. Indeed this applies to the compositions & translations of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi who at the age of sixteen attained complete & final liberation. Subsequently Bhagavan Ramana exhibited the extraordinary ability to compress the full breadth of his realization into terse poetic verses. Like mantras, these skillfully crafted arrows of light work on the mind of the reader in a mysterious & powerfully transformative way, bestowing understanding & wisdom on all who encounter them. Since the days at Virupaksha Cave, Bhagavan’s devotees have chanted these works & have testified time & again to the purifying effct they have on heart, mind & soul. This revised & expanded second edition contains the full repertorie of daily recitation at Sri Ramanasramam. While it includes devotional hymns written by devotees about Sri Bhagavan, it principally consists of the original poetry of the Master himself. Presented script with abjoining English translations, this compendium is sure to prove invaluable not only for those who want of chant Sri Ramana’s verses but also those who long to drink in evermore deeply the boundless wisdom they contain.
