There is light within us and when we start to explore this seed, begins the luminous path to the source. No darkness or void can consume it. To seek this light has been now my purpose in life. And also teach or reveal the easiest way to be the Light. A journey began from forms to formless. All the previous knowledge from lives has been a companion to this point and hereafter I have to shed mine for metamorphism. How long I have been praying take me to the Light. Now realized I have to be the light.
As promised last blog ended by saying will talk about Shri Ramana Maharshi. Let's take the effort to embed the jewels of knowledge in this small blog with all Masters who have defied time and space being Light. Have we ever enquired Who am I ? Self enquiry, Naan Yaar. Well we had a process in AOL Who am I. And later when we explore we find this at places deep-rooted to extract the essence of ours. That's what Shri Ramana Maharshi took this Self-enquiry to and widely known for this.
Shri Ramana Maharishi.
Sri Ramana Maharishi was born in 1879, 5 years after the vanishing of Shri Vallalar ( Ramalinga Adigal). In his 17th year he attained enlightment through a remarkable experience as if undergoing death of the physical body while remaining in full consciousness. Following this transformation, he left his home and was drawn irresistibly to the hill of Arunachala, Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu.
He became the light of Thiruvannamalai attracting locals and foreigners. They experienced so many miracles which Sri Ramana declined as his boon but related them to the faith of devotees. Thiruvannamalai is the kovil where Shri Arunagirinathar was illuminated by Lord Muruga who gave him the Thirupugaz in the 15th Century. Lord Muruga being light has lived in of Sri Ramanah Maharishi,
He knew only three languages,Tamil, Sanskrit and Malayalam, although he understood all languages by the Grace of Lord Muruga.Sri Ramana Maharishi left a few literary works such as Upadesa Saram ,Ekatmapanchakam which are all related to the simple Truth "know thyself"Knowing thyself -- will lead people to discover that Lord Muruga dwells in each human being.
It is to be noted that Sri Ramana Maharishi suffered a lot of physical ills to show the effect of Karma in one's life. He could absorb the bad Karmas of his devotees.Sri Ramana Maharishi defined Moksha--liberation ,as getting rid of non-existent and attaining the bliss which is always there. I am that--I am God The Self is God. Lord Murugan exists in the Self, as KUGAN.
When the time came for Sri Ramana Maharishi to depart from this world ,he called his devotees to close his small grass hut and He vanished and became Light just like Shri Vallalar Ramalinga Adigalar. People visiting Thiruvannamalai see a small lamp always brightening on the kovil premises It is the Light of Arunachala Shiva, the Light of Sri Ramana Maharishi, the Light of Lord Muruga. The closest devotees always feel the presence of Sri RamanaMaharishi around them as if Lord Muruga lives eternally at this place of Arunachala. Know thyself and become a part of Lord Muruga.
Shri Mata Amruthanandamai Devi
There lot of saints who are devotees of Muruga Perumal and have invoked him and his powers visible throughout. For Keralites Sudamani is known name and revered as Matha Amritananda Mai. I have hughed Amma at Vallikavu when I was studying at Thiruvananthapuram. It was like I knew her for ages and that was an undefinable moment.
Her looks and warmth are enough to cleanse the aura of persons and give them a new life .She prays and creates changes by the names of Shiva, Krishna, Muruga, Shakti. She is always in the service of God serving the needy. I need not mention what she has done schools to universities, houses to hospitals. She draws people to gether by her soul-stirring bhajans and satsangs on the sameline as Saint Adigalar. Her Ashrams in many states of India and outside world , do provide free meals to the poor on daily basis.
The grace of Muruga has lot of tales to tell if its the sea rising during Tsunami whether its Thrichendur or Amritapuri sea God Varuna has to listen to Lord Muruga the Light. It was observed that Varuna made a promise to Lord Muruga, soon after his victory over Surapadman at Thiruchendur that he, Varuna, would no more touch the feet of Lord Muruga as he was party with Surapadman for hiding the latter in the sea to spare him from the Vel of the Lord. Vel Muruga VELAYUDA. ( The one who caries lance - the light).
He is the God of Kaliyuga - KALIYUGA VARADA. The only name which works in Kaliyugam. As the Muruga Yugam started we are all guided to gain the knowledge of Light. You will see the glimpse of this Light networked throughout the world expanding to the universe and beyond Galaxies. Who knows who will encounter galactic travelers and their space ships. Let's serve this humanity with love and care. Religion has no name. Manava Seva is Madhava Seva - Muruga Seva. Aum Saravanabhava to start with you will see Lance of Light. We all are Light.
To be continued...................
The Lance, Vel was given by Devi to Muruga.
Aum Saravanabhava the most sacred mantra which can heal anything if chanted with faith i.e, Light within You.
