(He) brings fame to earthly gods. Commentary In this chapter comprising of 26 verses Ganapati Muni has composed 24 ecstatic verses in praise of his Guru, the universal teacher Ramana. The penultimate verse is a question y Amritanatha about the glory of realised persons and the last verse is Ramana's reply. In this verse (v1), the Muni refers to Ramana's lineage. His gothra was Parasara, coming down from the great Vedic Rishi Parasara. The Vedic mantras have been made well known by the sages Viswamitra, Vasishta, Vamadeva, Bharadwaja, Atri, Brigu, Gautama, Kasyapa, Angisara and Parasara.* Parasara rishi is the author of a smriti text and father of Veda Vyasa who codified the Vedas. It seems in the fitness of things that the Maharshi who was born with an intuitive awareness of the glory of Arunachala, should be born in this lineage. Ramana's father Sundaram Iyer, was generous to a fault, and was held in esteem by the community for his sterling character. Ramana could be said to have brought fame to his lineage by being a knower of Brahman, by his unswerving Self-abidance. [*reflections of Vedic Rishis – Viswanatha Swami – The Mountain Path Jan. 1975] -------------------------------- [Note: Sanskrit version of Ch18 in Sri Ramana's handwriting is in `Photo' file, `RamanaGita' album] ======= anu _______ALL-NEW Messenger - sooooo many all-new ways to express yourself http://uk.messenger.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Dear Nil Thank you for your kind words. but when Ramana calls in His dues, He prvoides the time, the energy, the enthusiasm needed for a smooth transaction. Nothing to do with me. :-) love anu (PS. but I still might take up your offer of help anyway if I touch down in Chennai!)
