How GOD comes to the rescue of SAINTS !

In this context two incidents in RAMANA MAHARSHI'S life is mysterious & interesting !!
                             




When RAMANA was staying on the hill in Skandashram, 
secretary of Sringeri Mutt came to meet him & told him that 
Ramana must come with him for taking DIKSHA from Sringeri 
Swamiji.He repeatedly pressed RAMANA that it is very 
important for him.RAMANA told him he is not inclined to take 
DIKSHA.The secretary left saying he will return back so that 
RAMANA can make up his mind.
            Earlier in the day one old Brahmin came to ashram &
 told RAMANA that he came by train that morning.He went to 
take bath leaving his hand bag on the steps.After secretary 
left,Ramana casually put his hand into the bag & saw 
ARUNACHALA PURANA book.He opened the book at 
random,in that very page he found a sloka saying, who ever 
lives within a radius of 25 Miles from ARUNACHALA HILL
will get SAUJYA (MOKSHA).
         As soon as the secretary returned, RAMANA showed 
him the sloka & told him he need not take DIKSHA as he is 
staying on ARUNACHALA HILL itself !The secretary left 
disappointed.The old Brahmin never returned to collect his 
hand bag!! Implying Arunachaleswara himself came in the 
guise of old Brahmin !
                        ============================ 


             Ramana's MOTHER got MOKSHA through RAMANA
 & her SAMADHI was built at the ground level, down the hill.No 
dead body is supposed to be cremated on the hill,as 
ARUNACHALA HILL is supposed to be SHIVA himself.
Ramana decided to stay near the MOTHER's SAMADHI & 
an ashram was built near the SAMADHI.Food used to be 
prepared for all the residents,visitors of ashram.
         One day cook of the ashram told RAMANA that 
tomorrow breakfast cannot be prepared, as rations are 
exhausted.RAMANA told,then all of us will have to remaln 
upavas tomorrow.That day night at 1AM a cart full of rations 
arrived & cart man knocked the door, unloaded the items 
then left.To this day nobody knows who sent the rations !!
