...guru ramana...

I was singing a song from the album Saranagathi by Malgudi Subhaa, which goes “…guru ramana siva guru ramana siva guru ramana siva guru ramana…ramana nin arulukku alavae illai…” and suddenly this thing struck me. i saw that if we sing it as “…guru ramana sivaguru ramana sivaguru ramana sivaguru ramana…”.

Do you see what i see? No? ok! Sivaguru was Adi Shankara’s father. Now? So, Sivaguru Shankara is Sivaguru Ramana. Beautiful, right?

“ramana nin arulukku alavae illai” means “there is no limit to ramana’s grace”.

Jai Sadguru Ramana.
