One full moon day the ladies worshipped Bhagavan, chanting His holy name most movingly. Arati was offered. Bhagavan took kumkum from the plate and applied it to his forehead. On that day He was truly a sight for Gods to see.
Before returning I purchased a copy of 'Upadesha Saram' and requested Him to write something in it. He slowly wrote 'OM' as a sculptor seeking perfection would use his chisel. He humorously told me:
You can now show it to everyone. See, the great Ramana Maharshi has written it specially for me.
-- Subrahmanyam, 1935 (UY, p124)
