Mother and Father


Photo of Bhagavan's Father, Sundaram Iyer. Father passed away on February 18th, 1892 at the age of 47. For some hours after his father's death, young Venkataraman contemplated the matter of how his father's body was still there, but the 'I' was gone from it. This was perhaps a forecasting of what was to happen two years later.

"May Thou and I be one and inseparable like Alagu
and Sundara, O Arunachala!"
- Marital Garland of Letters, v3

Post in homage to Mother Alagammal. The mahapuja is on June 9th this year.
