Rm28. Mother's Last Days

RAMANA MAHARISHI After coming to Skandashramam Life changed better for them. Mother collected edible leaves And roots from the hilly places. She served cooked leaves And roots to the devotees. She treated all the servants Very kindly as her own sons. She was always near her son And didn't go anywhere even To attend her daughter's invitation For the new house opening occasion. She had planned her death As to give up her last breath In her son's divine presence And not to die anywhere else. From 1920, her health deteriorated. All the intensive treatments failed. Her last moment had approached. Ramana felt her condition not good. On her breast, he kept his right hand, And on her head, his left hand, In order to deliver her soul To reach her final divine goal. As renounced life she had lived. In a Samadhi she was buried, At the foothill, near the Tank Pali, Instead of burning her body. O'er the Samadhi they installed Both a Chakra and a Siva Lingam Mathrubootheswarar they named Him, And like a small temple they worshiped. A wonder took place thereafter. Near her Samadhi was there A wet land with water trickling, That when deepened it gave a spring. They dug a deep well in that place, That gave water for their daily use, Thus even after Mother's departure She served them all with well water. Samadhi = Grave
