Dear Advaitins,

I loved the story about the first visit to Sri Ramana Maharshi. It reminds
me of a story you may have heard (bear with me if you have). It's about a
British officer who went to see Sri Ramana in the early part of the century
when Sri Ramana was living under a cliff overhang with about 80 disciples
living around him. When the British officer came down from the cliff,
having spent four or five hours in His presence, he said, "All I can tell
is he isn't his body; his body is just an appendage and the power of God
flows through him."

At the close of the 20th century when reflecting back, is it correct to say
Sri Ramana Maharshi would be considered the primary teacher of this
century? (Surely it's so).

best wishes,

Kym

Harsha: You are right of course! But why only the 20th century?. The Truth
is that people are helped by whomever they are attuned to. Whether it is
Shankra, Swami Nityananda, Swami Sivananda or anyone. Ramana Maharshi
himself pointed out that the Guru is not the body but the Self. And the Self
is beyond time and space.

When Sri Ramana lay dying, people went to him and begged him to remain for a
while longer as they needed his help.

His reply is well known:
"Go! Where can I go ? I shall always be here."
