All that i really have

Guru,
Your Holy Feet are my treasure, my worldy belongings,
all that i really have,
they are my most beloved,
the song of my heart,
the life that flows in me,
they are the secret of my joy,
of the light in my eyes,
of the smile on my lips,

they are my only belief,
my only religion
they are the only medicine that takes away
the pain of existence

your Holy Feet are all around me
and within, in my heart

your Holy Feet are the sole protector
of all that live
of this world

they are the sole sustenance of this world
they are sunshine, rain, and the mother's milk

O Guru,
Who are You
whose Holy Feet even the devas and Gods,
even Brahman,
gaze at with love and reverence
with tears in their eyes,
Who are You, loving Lord?

On this day, August 29, in 1896, sixteen year old Venkataraman Aiyer left Madurai for the sacred Arunachala Hill. He caught a train for Tindivanam but got off at Villupuram. Travelling by foot for 2 days on almost no food, He reached Tiruvannamalai in the forenoon of Sept 1, 1986.

Many years later Venkataraman would be known to the entire world as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, and September 1st as the Advent Day. He was destined to be the most respected and beloved of saints and sages, along with Mahatma Buddha.
