Book: A Summary of The Life of Sri Ramana

By Sri Sadhu Om
An Excerpt
In 1938 Babu Rajendra Prasad, who later became the first
President of India, went to the asramam of Mahatma Gandhi and
said, “Bapuji, I have come to your asramam in search of peace!” The
abode of peace was well known to Gandhiji, and hence he advised,
“If you want peace, go to Sri Ramamasramam and remain for a few
days in the presence of Sri Ramana Maharshi without talking or
asking any questions”.

Rajendra Prasad accordingly arrived at Sri Ramamasramam on

14th August 1938. Though those who accompanied him spent their
time in asking Sri Bhagavan questions regarding spiritual matters
and in visiting all the places on the hill where he had lived, only
Rajendra Prasad never moved away from the presence of Sri
Bhagavan. Moreover, according to the advice of Gandhiji, he spent
the whole of that week without talking or asking any questions. At
the time of his departure, he approached Sri Bhagavan and humbly
enquired, “O Bhagavan, it was Gandhiji himself who sent me here.
Is there any message that I may take to him?”

“The same power which is working here is working there also!

When heart speaks to heart, where is the need for words?” replied
Sri Bhagavan!
Do not these words of wisdom reveal the secret of the oneness of
the all-pervading supreme reality?

Thus, all great men who lived in our country during the time of Sri
Ramana Bhagavan, such as rajas, poets, learned men, political
leaders, philosophers and saints, praised the glory of his Jnana!
