A NOTE ON
śrīramaṇacatvārimsat
This article was published in the December 2000 issue of the
Mountain Path published by the Ramanasramam,
Tiruvannamalai. Since this volume contains Sri
Ramanachatvarimshat, I found it useful to put it here as an
additional note.
The contact between Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and
his famous chela, seer-poet Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni on
18.11.1907 was historic. It has been described in detail by B.V.
Narasimha Swami and other writers. On that memorable after-
noon of 18th November, in the Virupaksha Cave, Kavyakantha
wrote five verses in Sanskrit lauding Maharshi, proclaiming him
Ramana and gave the paper containing the verses to the attendant
Palaniswamy. As bad luck would have it, these verses have been
lost to posterity forever.
The Muni had the conviction from his earliest years that he
was a partial incarnation of Lord Ganesa and so he could easily
spot out his younger brother Lord Subrahmanya, whatever might
be the disguise in which he might appear! An event of great signifi-
cance took place at Pachaiamman temple at the foot of the hill
during Maharshi's stay there along with Muni and other disciples
for about three months from January to March 1908.
One early morning Muni and other disciples were all sitting
before Maharshi, who was as usual indrawn. The Muni saw a
sparkling light come down from the skies and touch the forehead
of Maharshi six times. Immediately the Muni had the realisation
that Maharshi was none other than an incarnation of Lord
