182.Ramana The Incomprehensible Poem by rajagopal haran

(Dear Readers
Today is the Annual Ceremony Day of Shri Ramana; i have some intersting relation with Ramana; i had a fight with my friend who is an ardent devotee of Shri Ramana; it was a mock fight from me as i fight on principles only with no hatred; immediately after this incidence i had continuous visions of Him; on 1 5 08 i took one book from our collection titled ' The Vision Of Siva in Periyapuranam' for my general reading; again this book has been dedicated to Shri Ramana'; today 3.5.08 i was scanning the calendar to note my fasting days which are routine like Pradosh; incidentally i noticed today is His Annual Death ceremony; so i was compelled to write on Him)


Embodiment of self-realization
Synonymous with the immortal supreme
Fulfilling the true purpose of life
Overwhelming silence burying self-enquiry
An epitome of immortal words
Ye Heart of the Vedas, darling of the devout
The eternal Brahman that shines as the pinnacle
Evidence of existence, consciousness and bliss

Buffeted by joys and sorrows
Swerved from the true nature
An intense longing for the removal of sorrow
Look upon thee to get your guidance

Here comes the steering from the real teacher
Simple change in the point of view
Aversion for mundane pleasure
Sustained effort of the seeker sincere
Goal is not heaven or a far away ideal
But removal of ignorance, making your teaching


Your grace brings the distant near
You are beyond words or thoughts
Your benevolent look giving wakefulness
I seek refuge at the sacred feet
Oh the blessed Ramana, the everlasting!
