1/33

January 2001, to Suresh : " Suresh, this Beggar keeps calling you here again and again,and keeps telling you about the Vedas and the importance of the Vedapathashala so that itgets deeply imprinted on your heart and mind that this is the most important work here.Other people may forget, but this Beggar wants you to always remember that the work ofthe Ma Devaki Vedapathashala is the most important work,

Suresh. At any cost it should go on."

"Suresh, in this Ashram, which goes by the name Yogi Ramsuratkumar Ashram, the mostimportant work is that of the Vedapathashala. It is the heart of this Ashram

In the outer space, there are Vedas, Sastras and Veda mantras. Greats rishis, bytheir tapovalam, caught and gave them to the world. The Rishis knew abouteverything. They were not narrow-minded people. They were great lovers of

mankind.*

Vedas are great treasures. Vedas are everything. They must be protected at anycost.

*

If the Vedas are not preserved, India will perish. India is rooted in the soil ofVedas.

*

To tell you the truth, the whole humanity exists because of the Vedas, Vedamantras and the great Masters.

*

They say: "We do not understand Sanskrit; so why commit slokas to memory?Sanskrit must go." No, no. That is wrong. Even if you do not understand theVedic chanting, go to that place and merely listen to it. That will be good.Chanting Vedas without understanding is also good. Were Vedas arepronounced, go and listen. It will do you good.

It is not easy to get a Guru, a spiritual master. It may take sometimes many births to get a spiritual master.But we must be happy that, at least by Father's Grace, we have got a desire to get a Guru and to come up inspiritual life." ...

Blessings for the Conference held on 7th and 8th May, 1988 at the Kamban

My friends !

This beggar learnt at the feet of Swami Ramdas the Divine name of Rama, and beg, begall of you not to forget the Divine name Rama. Whatever you do, wherever you are, belike Anjaneya-Maruthi, thinking of Rama and doing your actions in this world. At every

stage we face problems, today one problem, tomorrow another problem, the day aftertomorrow another problem. And on account of facing these problems often we getdejected, disappointed, psychologically sick, if we don't remember the name of Divine.So this beggar will beg all of you not to forget the Divine name, Rama. There are peoplewho like to remember the name of Siva. It is equally good. There are people who like torememver the name of Ganapati, equally good. Whatever name you choose, whateverform you choose but give to this beggar what he wants. Never forget the Divine. Live inthe world and the problems will be there.If we are remembering the Divine name, we arepsychologically sound. May be, we may feel a little some of the problems. Even then theintensity with which we feel if we don't have faith in God is much more than a man offaith, a man who remembers the name of Rama. So this beggar is always begging,

begging for food, begging for clothes, begging that you should compose songs on thisbeggar, build a house for me - buy a house for me - a cottage for me - this thing - thatthing - so many things. But this beggar will beg of you this also, and you are alwaysgiving what this beggar has begged. So this beggar begs please don't forget the name ofGod. This Divine name has been always of great help to all in the world.

Yous read Kabir, Tulsi, Sur, Appar Swami, Manickavasaga Swami - how theyemphasised Namasivaya. Don't forget it - this is your heart - this is your soul whether itbe Om Namashivaya or Om Namo Narayanaya whether Rama, Siva or Krishna, whatevername you choose, whatever form you choose doesn't matter. But remember the Lord withany name, with any form of your choice. Just as when there is heavy rainfall, we take an

umbrella, and go on doing ou work in the factory, in the field, wherever we go formarketing and catching hold of the umbrella we go through the rain is falling there. Butstill we work - still we work - do our work. Similarly we have got so many problems allaround. This Divine name is just like an umbrella in the heavy rainfall. Catch hold of theDivine name and go on doing your work in the world. This beggar begs of you : 'Don'tforget the Divine name'. This beggar prays to his Father to bless you all who have comehere. My Lord Rama blesses you, My Father blesses you. Arunachaleshvara blesses you.It doesn't matter to me what name it is. A ll the blessings of my Father for all of you !:Well, that is the end. That is all.

SOME WORDS DISPLAYED IN THE ASHRAM

If you want God alone, why do you accept the existence of anything else?

*


3/33

The Divine descends where there is no selfishness. Even if there is a trace of selfishness,the Divine will not descend.

*

Father has no ears, but hears.Father has no mouth, but speaks.Father has no tongue, but tastes fruits, etc.Father has no eyes, but sees.Father has no hands, but works.

*

They all say vairagya, Faith in Guru and repetition of the mantra are all necessary forGod realisation. This beggar says, Faith in the Guru will do. The others will followautomatically.

*

Whatever happens, happens by Father's will. Whatever happened is His grace. Whateverhappens is perfect because Father is perfect.

*

Every 'nama' of this beggar helps this beggar, his Father's work and the whole world ...every nama.

Seeing people is only a small fraction of this beggar's work. Most of this beggar's work ishidden.

*

When people remember this beggar, or even the coconut shell or fan or any eventconnected with this beggar, Father blesses them.

*

This beggar lives only for Father's work. Father's work is mysterious. It involves the

whole cosmos. That is why so many difficulties. This beggar's work is with the wholecosmos.

*

Every movement, small or big that this beggar makes is linked with Father's work. It isnot a mere physical movement. Everything is linked in this cosmos. It is a totality. Whenthis beggar rearrange things here, the atmosphere will not be the same again. This beggar


4/33

has to be very carefull. Every small movement is connected with the entire cosmos. Thisbeggar prefers no changes.

*

To want to be happy is to make the Lord happy. To make the Lord happy is to chant Hisname.

*

Yogi Ramsuratkumar is not the name of this dirty beggar. It is my Father's name. Blessedare those who utter the name Yogi Ramsuratkumar, even once in their life.

*

Once this beggar signed 'OM' in somebody's book. They asked me to sign my name. This

beggar replied, 'OM' is my best name and first name.

*

Just as Lord Shiva took 'Alahala' poison and changed it into 'Ambrosia', my Father willchange difficult situations into great blessings for those who work for this beggar.

*

They say 'Love all, hate none'. This beggar says, 'My Father is everyone'. If you loveFather, you love everyone. What is knowing everything? Knowing everything means

loving everything.*

This beggar's name is in the sky. This beggar's name can be heard in the sky. Whenanyone remembers this beggar, Father sends help.

*

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, always remember that you are doing it forthis beggar, who is all pervading and is everywhere. If you cannot remember that God is

everywhere, just chant His name. That will do everything.*

This beggar has not built any temple nor has he written any books. There is nothing aboutthis beggar's life that is inspiring. But he has left a name for mankind. Father a given aname "Yogi Ramsuratkumar" to Humanity, for its benefit, out of His love.


5/33

*

In this world, nobody is left without any criticism. Without exception, all the great peoplehave been criticised. Even Rama and Krishna! If Rama and Krishna were present today,they would also be criticised (laughter)! You have to put up with it! There is no need to

run away.

*

When asked by someone what is right and what is wrong ... This selfishness is wrong. Tothink that you are separate from others is wrong. To think that you are isolated isselfishness. This is wrong. To think that all are one, all in Father and that there is onlyone Life is right.

*

Chanting the Name is surrender. Chanting the Name is samadhi. Chanting the name isprayer. There is no need to pray separately.

*

All of you are in Me. I am in all of you. There is nothing else and no one else. I am here,there, everywhere... All pervasive... No one is separate, no one is isolated. It is all onelife, indivisible, total, subtle, subtler, subtlest... Gross, grosser, grossest. But this beggarcannot speak this language to everyone, but only to a few friends.

*

Whatever this beggar does is a blessing. Even when he shouts at people in anger, it isonly a blessing. They will surely benefit from that. When they sit in the presence of thisbeggar, my Father transforms them, even though they may not be aware of it.

India and the future of India

"Swami Rama Tirtha a dit qu'il serait toujours prsent sousforme humaine et qu'il veillerait ce que notre but soit atteint.Un temps le Japon prospre, un autre moment l'Allemagne,

l'Italie, l'Amrique et l'Angleterre, l'un aprs l'autre.Dornavant, ce sera seulement l'Inde. Le temps est venu pourcela. Mon Pre fera bien le travail."

"Si, un moment donn, une puissance s'lve dans lemonde, d'autres perdront de leur importance. Lorsqu'une autrepuissance parvient position plus leve, l'autre perd sonimportance. Le monde de la nature est ainsi. Mais mon Preest toujours derrire toutes ces puissances. Il n'est pas

"Swami Rama Tirtha has said that he will be always insomehuman form and see that our goal is achieved. SometimeJapan was flourishing, some other time Germany, Italy,

America and England, one after the other. Hereafter, it isIndia only. The time has come for this. My Father will do theword nicely."

"If one Power rises in the world at any time, the others willlose their importance. When another Power comes to a higherposition, the other will lose its importance. The world ofnature is like that. But my Father is always behind all thesePowers. There is no question of losing importance at any

question de perdre de l'importance quelque moment dutemps que ce soit."

"Bharata Mata est le Loka Guru, Loka Mata (2) et Elle seuleconduira l'univers entier dans la bonne direction. L'Indepavera la voie tout l'univers. Nous progressons toujours."Pour ce qui concerne ce mendiant, je pense que l'Inde, notrepays, prosprera et pavera la voie tout l'univers. L'Indeguidera dans tout domaine toutes les autres nations et lesparoles de l'Inde seront entendues par l'univers entier dans untemps trs proche.Le temps est maintenant venu pour cela. Nous ne pouvonsjuger la mer en voyant l'apparence extrieure des vagues. Dela mme manire nous ne pouvons juger les choses par leurapparence extrieure actuelle dans le pays. Vous devez voir laprofondeur de la mer. Mon Pre a de nombreuses voies pourfaire les choses et Il sait o les faire, quand les faire, etc. Il lesfera assurment et fera non seulement prosprer notre nation,la nation indienne, Bharata Desam, mais la fera aussi

conduire bientt l'univers entier. L'Inde montrera la voie, lavoie juste dans tous les domaines aux autres nations."(D.M.H.)

"Je crois fermement qu'un avenir grand et uni est la destinede la nation indienne et de son peuple." (D.M.H.)

"L'Inde signifie Yogi Ramsuratkumar et rien d'autre."(D.M.H.)

"Swami Ramdas, Aurobindo, Rama Tirtha, Gandhi,Bharatiyar et tant de grands matres ont prdit que le temps del'Inde viendrait et l'Inde seule conduira l'univers entier. Seulel'Inde peut montrer la voie correcte." (D.M.H.)

"Pour vous dire la vrit, toute organisation btie sansl'initiation approprie de Grands Matres est comme unimmeuble de plusieurs tages construit sans fondations."

"Dans les anciens jours, tous nos gouvernants, rois etempereurs, avaient l'habitude de protger les Sadhus et lesSannyasis, les Ames ralises, et de leur prsenter leshommages qui leur taient ds. Parfois ils entreprenaient'vaha', la destruction des Asuras, lorsque les Asurasessayaient de torturer les sadhus et les sannyasis ou tentaient

de troubler les sadhus. Ainsi, dans notre pays, les Mendiantsont toujours t trs respects." (D.M.H.)

point of time."

"Bharata Mata is the Loka Guru, Loka Mata and She alonewill lead the whole universe in the right direction. India willpave the way to the whole universe. We are alwaysprogressing."As far as this beggar is concerned, I feel that India, ourcountry, will flourish and pave the way to the whole universe.India will lead in every aspect all other nations and India'swords will be heard by the whole universe very shortly.The time has come now for this. We cannot judge the sea byseeing the outward appearance of the waves. Similarly, youcannot judge things by the outward appearance of them in thecountry now. You should see the depth of the sea. My Fatherhas got many ways of doing things and He knows where to dothat, when to do that, etc. He will definitely do and make ourNation, Indian Nation, Bharata Desam, not only flourishingbut also to lead the whole universe soon. India will show thepath, the right way in every sphere to other nations."

(D.M.H.)

"I believe firmly that a great and united future is the destinyof this Indian nation and its people." (D.M.H.)

"India means Yogi Ramsuratkumar only and nothing else."(D.M.H.)

"Swami Ramdas, Aurobindo, Ram Tirtha, Mahatma Gandhi,Bharatiyar and so many great Masters predicted that India'stime would come and only India could lead the wholeuniverse. Onlyu India can show the correct path." (D.M.H.)

"To tell you the truth, any organisation without properinitiation by great Masters is just like a multi-storied buildingconstructed without any foundation." (D.M.H.)

"In olden days, all our rulers, kings and emperors, used toprotect the Sadhus and the Sannyasins - le ralized souls - andpaid due respect to them. At times they used to do 'vadha' -destruction - of the Asuras, when the Asuras tried to torturethe Sadhus or Sannyasins or tried to give trouble to theSadhus. So, in our country, the beggars were alwaysrespected very much." (D.M.H.)

"Mon Pre indique dans les criturescomment, dans les anciens jours, les rois et lesempereurs avaient un total respect envers lessadhus et comment ils gouvernaient trs bienavec les bndictions profondes des grandsmatres." (D.M.H.)

"Si vous avez une Ame ralise, cela suffitselon le Seigneur Krishna, et l'homme qui aobtenu Purnatman sera capable de monter lavoie, le chemin correct, l'univers entier. Ildonnera naissance des milliards et desmilliars d'mes dvoues dans l'Univers."(D.M.H.)

"My Father indicates in the scriptures how thekings and emperors gave full respect to Sadhusin the ancient days and how they run thegovernment very nicely with the profoundblessings of the great Masters." (D.M.H.)

"It is sufficient if you have one Realized Soul,according to Lord Krishna, and the one manwho has obtained Purnatman will be able toshow the way, the correct path, to the wholeuniverse. He will give birth to crores andcrores of devout souls in the Universe."(D.M.H.)

Sur la mendicit.- Sadhus, sannyasins et Matres.-

"Dans ce pays mendier n'a jamais t un crime. Sudhama tait unmendiant et il est all vers Krishna mendier des aumnes.Krishna l'a reu avec tous les honneurs. Tous les grands saintsont t mendiants. Mon Matre, Swami Ramdas, explique danssa "Qute de Dieu" comment il errait comme mendiant. Cemendiant lui-mme a err dans tout le pays en mendiant lanourriture pendant douze annes. Il n'a jamais eu l'habitude deporter le rudraksha ou de mettre bhasma sur son front. Il errait enhaillons comme tout autre mendiant. Lorsque ce mendiant taitassis sur les rives de la Sabarmati, des femmes qui avaientl'habitude de venir prendre un bain jetaient chaque jour quelquespice ce mendiant. Une journe tait suffisante pour lanourriture de deux jours. Je ne parle pas seulement des sadhus,

brahmacharis et brahmanes qui doivent mendier dans ce pays. Jeparle des gens ordinaires qui sortent pour mendier des aumnesquand il est difficile pour eux de joindre les deux bouts. Ce nesont pas des criminels. Ils mendient parce qu'il n'y a pas d'autremoyen." (G.G.Y.)

"Matru devo bhava, pitru devo bhava, acharya devo bhava, atithidevo bhava - c'est notre tradition. nous devons sortir pour trouverlers gens qui cherchent des aumnes et les accueillir - ainsidisent les shastras." (G.G.Y.)

"Swami Vivekananda dit que si 100.000 soldats combattent pourla nation et que 99.999 tombent et qu'un seul survit et dploit ledrapeau de la nation, c'est une victoire pour la nation. De lamme manire, si en nourrissant 100.000 mendiants on aide unVivekananda surgir c'est un grand exploit. SwamiVivekananda, durant ses prigrinations tout autour du paus entre1886 et 1893 avait l'habitude de mender sa nourriture. J'ai aussierr comme un mendiant de 1947 1959. Un jour je devais

bout begging.- Sadhus, sannyasins and

Masters.-

"In this land begging has never been a crime. Sudhamawas a beggar and he went tot Krishna begging for alms.Krishna received him with all honours. All great saintshave been beggars. My Master, Swami Ramdas, explainsin his 'In Quest of God ' how he went around as a beggar.This beggar himself wandered all over the countrybegging for food, for twelve years. He never used to wearrudraksha or put bhasma on his forehead. He wandered inrags like any other beggar. When this beggar was sittingon the banks of River Sabarmati, ladies who used tocome to take bath threw some coins to this beggareveryday. A day's collection would be sufficient for twoday's food. I am not speaking only of Sadhus,Brahmacharis and Brahmans who are enjoined to beg inthis country. I am speaking for ordinary people who goout begging for alms when they find it difficult to makeboth ends meet. They are not criminals. They beg as thereis no other go." (G.G.Y.)

"Matru devo bhava, pitru devo bhava, acharya devobhava, atithi devo bhava - this is our tradition. We mustgo out to find people seeking alms and entertain them - sosays the Shastras." (G.G.Y.)

"Swami Vivekananda says, if one lakh soldiers arefighting for the nation and 99,999 fall and only onesurvives and unfurls the flag of the nation, it is a victoryfor the nation. In the same way, if by fedding one lakhbeggars one Vivekananda is helped to emerge that is agreat achievement. Swami Vivekananda, during hiswanderins throuhout the lengh and breadth of the countrybetween 1886 and 1893 used to beg for food. I was alsowandering like a beggar from 1947 to 59. Once I had to


8/33

quitter une ville de fait que l'on m'avait dit que les mendiants ytaient arrts. C'tait diffrent au Gujarat. Un jour ce mendiantfut pris avec quelques autres mendiants. Mais les 'mendiants's'chapprent en payant 'quelque chose'. Seul ce mendiant etquelques sadhus furent dtenus pendant 5 6 heures. Et cemoment un officier de police entra et demanda : "Oh, comment

avez-vous t pris ?" et il me relcha. Un jour je voyageais entrain, au Gujarat, sans ticket bien entendu, et j'tais assis sur lesige du TTE. Lorsque le TTE entra ce mendiant lui lassa lesige. Mais le TTE dit : 'Non, Swamiji, vous pouvez vousasseoir.' Ces choses arrivrent dans le pays de MahatmaGandhi."- Q. :Devons-nous encourager la mendicit notre propre

risque ? Pouvons-nous permettre un mendiant tranger de

demeurer une nuit dans notre maison ?

- Quand un sannyasi vint sur le pas de la porte demander desaumnes, Sita, au risque de sa propre scurit, traversa la lignetrace par Lakshmana. En Inde nous avons du prendre desrisques."

- Selon les shastras, les aumnes doivent tre donnes ceux quiles mritent - Satpaatre Daana.

-- Quand un mendiant se tient la porte, pouvez-vous analysers'il mrite ou non ? Cette loi contre la mendicit partiraaujourd'hui ou demain. Quelqu'un qui arrivera au pouvoir verraque cette loi est battue. Je sais que cette loi s'en ira. EnAngleterre et en Amrique, les mendiants sont rellement descriminels. Mme ici, il peut y avoir des criminels parmi lesmendiants. Mais ce n'est pas pour cela que vous pouvez dire quela totalit de la communaut des mendiants est faite de criminels.Il y a des criminels dans toutes les sections de la socit, dans lesforces de police, etc. Ce n'est pas pour cela que vous pouvez direque la section entire est faite de criminels."

- Dans la crmonie de l'Upanayanam : "Bhavati BikshamDehi."

- Oui, aprs l'Upanayanam, le garon se rend quelques maisonspour les aumnes. Le guru du grand Chatrapati Shivaji, SamarthRamdas, tait un mendiant. Un jour, alors qu'il mendiait, Shivajicrivit sur un bout de papier et lui offrit tout son royaume. Dansles temps jadis, les rois ou les empereurs avaient l'habitude de neprendre conseil que de mendiants.- La communaut doit-elle soutenir le mendiant ou doit-elle

soutenir le gouvernement ?

- Lorsque le couronnement de Sri Rama allait avoir lieu,Dasaratha donna tout aux mendiants. Les "mendiants", aprsavoir reu les "aumnes" n'eurent plus jamais mendier. Lesprsent qu'il donna taient si important ! Ainsi lorsqu'il y a une

grande rjouissance ou une grande victoire le gouvernementsoutient les mendiants. En gnral seule la communaut lessoutient.- La pauvret peut tre radique en donnant nourriture et

refuge aux mendiants.

- Ce ne sera pas suffisant. Nous voulons la libert.- L'Inde doit devenir un pays prospre.

- L'Inde deviendra plus prospre que n'importe quel autre paysdu monde. Mais les mendiants ne cesseront pas d'exister. L'Inde

leave a town since I was told that beggars were arrestedthere. In Gujarat it was different. Once this beggar wascaught with a few beggars. But the 'beggars' escaped bypaying 'something'. Only this beggar and some Sadhuswere detained for 5 to 6 hours. And at that time a policeofficer came in and asked : "Oh! How were you caught ?

and released me. Once I was travelling in a train, inGujarat, of course ticketless, and was sitting in the seat ofthe TTE. When the TTE came in this beggar left the seatfor him. But the TTE said : 'No, Swamiji. You can sit'.These happened in the land of Mahatma Gandhi."- Q. : Should we encourage begging at our own risk ?

Can we allow a strange beggar to stay one night in our

house ?

- Wen a Sannyasi came at the doorstep asking for alms,Sita, at the risk of her own safety, crossed the line drawnby Lakshmana. In India, we habe been taking risks."- According to shastras, alms should be given to those

who deserve - Satpaatre Daana.

- When a beggar is standing at the door can you analysewether he deserves or not ? This law against begginf willgo today or tomorrow. Someone who comes to powerwill see that this law is thrashed. I know this law will go.In England and America, beggars are really criminals.For that you can't dub the entire begging community ascriminals. Criminals are there in all sections of thesociety - in the police force, etc. For that you can't callone entire section as criminals.".- In the Upanayanam ceremony : "Bhavati BikshamDehi."

- Yes, after the Upanayanam, a boy goes to a few housesfor alms. The guru of the great Chatrapati Shivaji,

Samarth Ramdas, was a beggar. Once when he wasbegging, Shivaji wrote in a slip and offered his entirekingdom to him. In ancient days, Kings or Emperors usedto take the advice of the beggars only."- Should the community support the beggar or the

Goverment ?

- When Sri Rama's coronation was to take place,Dasaratha gave everything to beggars. The 'beggars' afterreceiving the "alms" had never to beg again. The gifts hegave were so much. Hence when there is a great rejoicingor victory the Government supports beggars. In generalonly the community supports.- Poverty can be removed by giving food and shelter to

beggars.

- That will not be enough. We want freedom.- India should become a prosperous country.- India will become more prosperous than any country inthe world. But beggars will not cease to exist. India iswhat it is only because of beggars. If there are nobeggars, India would not be India at all. We beggars cannever live in this holy land if we are not given freedom.Sometimes they catch beggars and take them to beggarhomes and give them training in some skill for 2 or 3

est ce qu'elle est du fait seul des mendiants. S'il n'y avait pas demendiants, l'Inde ne serait pas du tout l'Inde. Nous mendiants nepourrions jamais vivre dans ce pays bni si la libert ne noustait pas donne. Parfois ils attrapent les mendiants, lesemmnent des maisons pour mendiants et les entranent dansquelque mtier pendant 2 ou 3 mois. Mais comment pouvez-vous

distinguer un mendiant d'un saint ? On devrait laisser lesmendiants libres d'agir selon leur propre volont.- A Auroville, tout le monde doit travailler.

- Nous mendiants aussi travaillons, quoique nous ne fassions pasde travail physique. Notre travail est diffrent."(T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"Pour vous dire la vrit, l'humanit entire n'existe qu' causedes Vedas, des Veda mantras et des Grands Matres. Dans cetteterre bnie et ancienne, beaucoup de Grands Matres sont venuset un grand Matre ou un autre y a toujours exist. En fait, cetteTerre Bnie, Bharata Desam - la Nation indienne - seulement estle terrain de jeu des Grands Matres. C'est notre pays. Mon Pre

veillera toujours sur lui. Heureux sommes-nous d'tre ns surcette Terre Bnie. Mon Pre, le Seigneur Krishna, a donnl'assurance ce sale mendiant que dans cette terre bnie degrands Matres existeront toujours; Il les protgera, veillera biensur eux, et en mme temps Il veillera ce que cette terre, paysbni, prospre toutes les poques et dans tous les domaines.

"Mon Pre, le Seigneur Krishna, dit : "Pour protger les sadhus,les grands matres, qui sont toujours engags dans la propagation

du Dharma, et pour dtruire les mauvais lments, pourconserver le dharma partout dans l'univers, Je viens dans chaqueyuga." Pour vous dire la vrit, sans les grands Matres, lessadhus, il n'y aurait pas d'humanit. Sans les Vedas et les Vedamantras il n'y aurait pas d'humanit. L'humanit n'existe qu'cause des grands matres et des Vedas." (D.M.H.)

months. But how can you distinguish between a beggarand a saint ? Beggars should be left free to act accordingto their own will.- In Auroville, everyone has to work.

- We beggars also work, though we don't do physicalwork. Our work is different."(T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"To tell you the truth, the whole humanity exists onlybecause of the Vedas, the Veda Mantras and the GreatMasters. In this ancient Holy Land, many great Mastershave come and always some Great Master or other existshere. In fact, this Holy Land, Bharata Desam - the IndianNation - is lonly the playground of Great Masters. This isour land. It will always be looked after by my Father. Weare lucky to be born in this Holy Land. My Father, LordKrishna, had given assurance to this dirty beggar that inhis Holy Land some great Masters will always exist; Hewill protect them, look after them nicely, at the sametime, He will see that this land, Holy Land, flourishes all

the times, in all aspects.

Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita :'Paritraanaaya sadhunaam vinaasaaya cha dushkritaamDharma samsthaapanaarthaata sambhavaami yuge yuge'

"My Father, Lord Krishna, says : "To protect the Sadhus,the great Masters, who are always engaged in propagatinfDharma, and to destroy bad elements, to keep up Dharmaall over the universe, I come in every yuga." To tell youthe truth, without the great Masters, the Sadhus, there willbe no humanity. Without the Vedas and Veda Mantrasthere will be no humanity. The humanity exists only

because of the great Masters and the Vedas." (D.M.H.)

Vous devez essayer devous raliser, vous devez toujours essayer de bouger dans labonne direction montre par les grands matres. Si vous avezune me ralise, elle montrera la voie, le bon chemin, l'univers entier, l'humanit entire. Si vous ne protgez pasles saints hommes, vous ne faites rien pour l'humanit.L'humanit entire n'existe qu' cause des sadhus. Pour vous

"At least one realized soul should always exist. Fortunatelythis holy Land is always protected by Great Masters.Whatever you do, whether you run the government orbusiness or remain in the top most position, unless you do

something to protect the Sadhus, the Sannyasins and therealized souls, it is of no use. You should try to realizeyourself, you should always try to move in the right directionshown by the great Masters. If you have one realized soul, hewill show the way, the right path, to the whole universe, thewhole humanity. If you do not protect the holy men, you aredoing nothing for humanity. The whole humanity existsbecause of the Sadhus. To tell you the truth, the Law exists

Un jour arriva un lion quivit cela. Il spara le lionceau du troupeau et lui montra sarflection dans de l'eau. Le lionceau vint savoir qu'ilappartenait la race des lions et non celle des moutons. Apartir de ce moment, il commena vivre comme un lion. De lamme manire, nous vivons au milieu d'une grande varit de

In the speed with which it attacked, it gave birth to acub and then died. The cub lived in the midst of sheepwithout knowing who it was and ate grass like sheep. Oneday a lion came and saw this. It got the cub separated fromthe gang of sheep and showed its reflection in the water. Thecub came to know that it belonged to the race of lion and notto sheep. One From that time onwards it started living like alion. Similarly we are living in the midst of many varieties ofpeople. My Father will show at appropriate time the purpose

Meeting with the masters.-

"This beggar was not impressed with Swami Ramdas as he had been with Ramana Maharshi and Aurobindo. This beggarwas not able to understand Ramdas at that time. He understood immediately that the other two Masters were spiritual giants.With Ramdas, however, it was different. It was a kind of reaction... He was living luxuriously and people were serving him

like a king." (T.C.W.)

Ramana Maharshi.-

"In 1948, this beggar went again to the South. He went first to the Aurobindo Ashram but could not stay there. Then he wentto Tiruvannamalai and stayed for about two months with the Maharshi." (T.C.W.)

"Once a sadhaka asked a list of questions. One of the eight questions, along with Sri Maharishi's reply, was translated intoEnglish for the benefit of a few beggars like myself, seated nearby. The question : 'If the Guru drops his body even prior tothe shishya having succeeded in his Sadhana, is it necessary for the shishya to seek out a living Guru to guide him further on?' - The reply : 'Not necessary. He can continue in his sadhana and guidance will continue.'" (I.R. - T.D.aug90-jan.91)

(About the tamil word 'seri' : okay, good :)"Astutely I learned that one word from Him (Ramana) and am even today using it, following in the footprints of myMaster!" (T.D. fev.-av.94)

"Bhagavan Ramana used to say : 'Self alone ever is. There are no others.'" (T.D. fev.-av.94)

"As was the custom in Sri ramanashram after puja was performed at the Mother's shrine, the arati plate was placed beforeBhagavan Ramana. One day He took kumkum as usual. I happened to be the first to take kumkum from the small pile whichSri Bhagavan had touched. The mere touch of the same plate put me into an ecstatic state." (The Mountain Path)

"Once, when I was in the presence of Sri Bhagavan, he vividly narrated a fascinating story which is also highly significant.

There lived a pair of birds by the side of the ocean. Leaving their eggs in their nest, they would fly to far-off places in searchof food. One day on their return they were aghast to find that their nest, along with the eggs, had been devoured by thewaves of the sea. They became very angry with the ocean and in all seriousness vowed that they would empty it, ifnecessary, in order to retrieve their eggs. They forthwith started the operation of emptying the ocean by taking the sea waterin their beaks, mouthful by mouthful, and dropping it at a far-off place. They did this endlessly without rest and still theywere one-pointedly dippling their beaks into the ocean and flying off to dispose of the water.One day a great being happened to pass by and, observing the tireless efforts of the two birds, asked them what they were upto. The birds explained that their eggs had been washed into the ocean and that they were determined to empty it in order toretrieve them."What!" exclaimed the great being in surprise and amazement. "But this is impossible! Can you ever hope to empty theocean, two tiny birds, however relentless your efforts may be?- What doubt can there be ? replied the birds. We are absolutely certain that we shall eventually succeed and retrieve ourprecious eggs!"

Moved by their tremendous faith and devotion, the great being compassionately put his hands into the ocean, found the eggs,and returned them to the overjoyed birds.Sri Bhagavan then said : "Emptying the ocean is analogous to knowing God. Alone, without grace, it is impossible. But ifone has the unshakeable faith and earnestness of the two birds in the story, the Guru will appear without fail and fulfill one'sspiritual aspirations." (The Mountain Path)

"On another occasion I was thrilled to witness the compassion of Sri Bhagavan. A devotee, Eknath Rao, brought into theHall a bowl filled with fruits cut into pieces and placed it before Sri Bhagavan. Within the large bowl was a small bowl withpieces especially cut for Sri Bhagavan. Bhagavan's sense of equality was total, and although his tolerance towards devotees


13/33

was immense, he would never permit anything special for himself. When Bhagavan noticed a separate bowl for himself, hewas annoyed and pushed the bowl aside roughly. A few pieces of fruit spilled onto the floor and were left there. The devoteethen began to distribute the fruit-pieces to all in the Hall. Everyone sat with a few pieces in their hands, not wanting to eatsince Bhagavan himself did not have any. Out of compassion for the devotees, Sri Ramana reached down, picked up thepieces that had fallen on the floor, and began to eat. The rest of the devotees were then able to eat also." (The MountainPath)

"On April 14th, 1950, when this beggar was moving somewhere in the Himalayas in search of Masters, Maharshi passedaway. In the same year, December 5th, 1950, the other great Master Aurobindo, also passed away. This beggar felt a type ofrestlessness that he had lost the golden opportunity of keeping company with those two great Masters." (T.C.W.)

"When someone asks me why, in that case, I went to Swami Ramdas after Maharshi's passing, I explain that the divinefervour I experienced in Sri Ramana's presence began to wane when I left him and went to stay in the Himalayas.Nevertheless, I had begun to see that a Higher Power was expressing Itself, using me as an instrument. Bhagavan SriRamana Maharshi was a principal influence in shaping this beggar to this state. After His passing away, I did not see anyconflict in going to Swami Ramdas. It was Swami Ramdas who initiated me and gave me this madness ! The inner life ofsaints like Sri Aurobindo, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, J. Krishnamurti and Swami Ramdas is far far removed fromwhat we can externally perceive of them. They operate rooted in the Eternal Infinite which can never be 'known'. There is noindividual there to report differences!" (I.R. - T.D.aug.90-jan.91 & The Mountain Path)

Swami Ramdas.-

"Then one thing very important, it was a third chance to visit Ramdas. The two great Masters had passed away. This beggarthought to himself, 'Let me try again to visit Ramdas, for he is recognised as a great sage.' So in 1952 this beggar did not goto Tiruvannamalai, nor did he go to Pondicherry, for the Masters were not there. But this time Swami Ramdas turned out tobe an entirely different person. At the very first sight, Ramdas could tell a number of intimate things about the life andmission of this beggar which nobody but this beggar knew. Not only that, but the Master started to take a special care of thisbeggar. This beggar felt that he had come to a place where he had a number of well-known friends. This beggar began to feelfrom the environment of the ashram that Ramdas was a great Sage, a truly great Sage. It was then that this beggar first

understood the great Master. Ramdas is the beggar's Father." (T.C.W.)

"Most men wouldn't like to say that they had three fathers, but this beggar had three Fathers. There was much work done onthis beggar. Aurobindo started, Ramana Maharshi did a little and Ramdas finished." (T.C.W.)

"Papa Ramdas wanted this beggar to chant Ramnam all the time. But this beggar has failed to obey his Master." (T.D.nov.94-jan.95)

Aprs 1952.-

"Pre distribue les devoirs. Tous parmi nous ne faisons queSon travail. A Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, BhagavanRamana, Swami Ramdas et Sri Aurobindo, Il a donn ledevoir d'enseigner. A ce mendiant Il n'a pas donn ce devoir.Avoir foi dans les paroles de ces matres seulement - c'est ledevoir allou ce mendiant. Ainsi, j'ai foi dans les Ecritures,dans les paroles de ces matres. C'est assez pour ce

"Father distributes duties. All of us do only His work. ToSri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Bhagavan Ramana, SwamiRamdas and Sri Aurobindo, He gave the duty of teaching.To this beggar He has not given that duty. To have faith inthe words of these masters alone - that is the duty alloted tothis beggar. Thus, I have faith in the scriptures, in thewords of these masters. That is enough for this beggar !"

mendiant!" (The Mountain Path)

"Pre a donn le travail de prcher Sri Aurobindo,Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi et Swami Ramdas. Mais,pour ce mendiant, Pre a donn comme seul travail desoulanger les souffrances des autres." (Y.R.S. - G.)

"Mon Pre est tout. Il n'y a personne d'autre, rien d'autre. Cemendiant est mort en 1952. Alors Pre est venu dans ce corps.A moins que nous ne mourrions, Pre ne viendra pas en nous.Kabir dit :'Shaaka chaahe prem ras, raaka chaahe maan;

ek myaan mem do khadga, dekha suna na kaan"

Vous pouvez avoir ou Dieu ou le "Je'. Il ne peut y avoir deuxpes dans un seul fourreau. Si Dieu doit venir, je doismourir.'"

(The Mountain Path)

"Father gave the work of preaching to Sri Aurobindo,Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and Swami Ramdas. But,for this beggar, Father has given the work of alleviating thesuffering of others alone !"

"My Father is everything. There is no one else, nothingelse. This beggar died in 1952. Then Father came into thisbody. Unless we die, Father will not come in us. Kabirsays:'Shaaka chaahe prem ras, raaka chaahe maan;ek myaan mem do khadga, dekha suna na kaan'

Either you can have God or the 'I'. There cannot be twoswords in one sheath. If God must come, I must die.'"

"Ce mendiant reoit opportunment de l'aide d'Hanumantoutes les fois que ce mendiant en a rellement besoin ettoutes les fois o ce mendiant est en danger, Hanuman vientprotger ce mendiant. Dans l'Inde du Nord, les gens croientqu'Hanuman les protge; les sadhus et les sannyasis ontparticulirement l'habitude de dire qu'ils recevrontd'Hanuman toute l'aide ncessaire.

Ce mendiant n'est pas un Ram bhakta. Mais ce mendiant at initi avec le Ram Nam par mon Matre SwamiRamdas."

"Quelque puisse tre la bhava, si vous ressentez que cemendiant est le Seigneur Rama, il en est alors ainsi. MonPre a assur que quiconque pense ce mendiant, sousquelque forme que ce soit, alors Mon Pre viendra apportertoute l'aide ncessaire en apparaissant sous cette forme. C'estpourquoi : ce mendiant demande quelquefois aux gens dechanter le nom de ce mendiant. Lorsqu'ils chantent le nomde ce mendiant, non seulement ils reoivent l'aide ncessairede mon Pre, mais ils aident aussi ce mendiant bien faireson travail. Cela aide de manire certaine ce mendiant faireson travail sous cette forme."

"Aucun doute, mme si quelqu'un pense ce mendiant

comme son ami et qu'il recherche mon aide, l'aide lui seradonn par mon Pre en toute certitude."

16 August 1979.-

"This beggar is getting timely help from hanuman

whenever this beggar really needs and whenever this

beggar is in danger. Hanuman has come to protect this

beggar. In North-India people believe that Hanuman

rotects them, particularly the Sadhus and Sanyasis

used to say that they will get all the necessary help from

Hanuman.

This Beggar is not a Rama bhakta. But this Beggar was

initiated with RamNam by my Master - Swami Ramdas."

"Whatever be the Bhava, if you feel that this Beggar is

Lord Rama, then it is so. My Father has assured who

ever thinks of this Beggar, in whatever form, then My

Father will go and render all necessary help by

appearing in the same Form. That is why - This Beggar

asks people at times, to sing this Beggar's name. When

they sing this Beggar's name they are net only getting

the necessary help front my Father but also helping this

Beggar to do his work nicely. Definitely this will help

this Beggar in doing his work in this Form."

"No doubt - even if anybody thinks of this Beggar as his

riend and seek any help - the help will be surely givenby my Father."

(rires)Beaucoup d'trangers sont dus du fait que ce mendiant ne saitrien sur les Yoga Asanas et sur le Pranayama. Ils disent 'On vousappelle Yogi, mais nous ne connaissez pas le pranayama et lesasanas." (24/11/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan 89)

"Un jour un swami distribuait des vtements couleur ocre auxsadhus. Lorsqu'il offrit un ensemble ce mendiant, ce mendiant

"The book has become very popular. The name of the bookis very attractive. People are interested to know who thisgreat Yogi is. But, when they come and see here, they seeno symptoms of a Yogi, they see only a beggar here !(laughter) Many foreigners get disappointed because thisbeggar does not know anything about Yoga Asanas andPranayama.

Dialogue avec Nivedita (1)

- Ainsi tu ne crois pas que je suis un mendiant !- Si vous le dites.

- Alors que penses-tu de moi ?- Je pense que vous tes un grand yogi.

- Qu'entends-tu par yogi ?- Vous n'tes pas affect par le plaisir et la peine, la louange et

la condamnation...

- Mais cette pierre elle aussi est comme . Est-ce un yogi ?- Vous n'tes pas une pierre, la pierre va casser si on la tape

Dialogue with Nivedita(1) :

- So you don't believe I'm a beggar !- If you say so.

- Then, what do you think of me ?- I think you are a great yogi.

- What do you mean by a yogi ?- You are not affected by pleasure and pain, praise and

condemnation...

- But this stone here is also like this. Is it a yogi ?- You are not a stone; the stone will break when it is hit

avec un marteau..- Pareil pour ma jambe.- Non, vous n'^petes pas le corps, aussi vous ne serez pas

affect.

- Mais comment sais-tu que je suis un tel yogi ?- Vous avez dit au Dr Radhakrishnan que quiconque pense

vous de quelque manire que ce soit, vous leur apparaissezcomme cela. Je pense vous comme un grand yogi et c'est

ourquoi vous m'apparaissez comme un grand yogi.

(T.D.aot90-jan.91)

Dialogue avec Nivedita (2) :

- Sais-tu que je suis un mendiant ?- Je ne sais pas, vous le dites.

- Penses-tu que je mente ?- Je crois vos paroles, mais je ne comprends pas comment vous

tes un mendiant, c'est tout.- Je ne fais aucun travail et je vis en mendiant. Je vis de ce quegagnent les autres qui travaillent dur. Comprends-tu maintenant

?- Mais les brahmines sont supposs vivre d'aumnes. Ils doivent

dpendre de la socit pour leur nourriture. Vous tes un

Brahmine. Comment pouvez-vous dire que vous tes un

mendiant ?

- Non, je ne suis pas un brahmine, je suis un chandala... Ainsimaintenant Nivedita croit que je suis un mendiant par ce que jele dis. Mais elle ne comprend pas ce que je veux dire. Quelqu'unm'a dit : 'Yaatum tarum peru yaachakaa porti' (Salut au GrandMendiant qui donne tout !) Minakshisundaram a crit comme. Il m'appelle 'Peru Yaachakaa' (Grand Mendiant). Ainsi je nesuis pas un mendiant ordinaire (rire, puis montrant le livre)Vois, Minakshisundaram a donn un dertificat ce mendiant. Il

a crit ceci alors qu'il n'tait encontact avec moi que depuis deuxans. Il a crit beaucoup sur ce mendiant. (Nivedita lit hautevoix et arrive au passage 'Salut Shanmuga, qui se rvle en

samadhi!) Vois, il m'appelle Shanmuga. Je suis le SeigneurMuruga ! Puis il dit quelque chose reliant ce mendiant auxVedas. Lis.- Salut celui qui est dans la forme des Vedas commenant avec

Rig !- Oui, c'est la ligne. Il dit que je suis le Rig, le Yajur, le Sama etl'Atharva Vedas. (rire) Beaucoup de gens ont crit de cettefaon. Ki.Va.Ja. a aussi crit comme ." (Ki.Va. Jagannathanest un rudit tamil rput).. (27/09/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

(sur Ki. Va. Ja. qui vient de mourir :) "Il avait l'habitude devenir ici et de passer de longues heures, chantant des chansonssur ce mendiant et quelques dvots avaient l'habitude de lesenregistrr. Il avait l'habitude de faire un sandhvavandanargulier. "(27/09/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

(A un dvot nomm Patanjali :

- Savez-vous que Patanjali a crit le Yoga Sutra sur l'AshtaangaYoga ?

with a hammer.- So will my leg.- No. You are not the body; therefore you will not be

affected.

- But how do you know I am such a yogi ?- You told Dr Radhakrishnan that whosoever thought of

ou in whatsoever manner, you appeared to them like that.I think of you as a great yogi and therefore you appear to

me as a great yogi." (T.D.aug.90-jan.91)

Dialogue with Nivedita (2) :- Do you know that I am a beggar ?- I do not know, you say so.

- Do you think I am lying ?- I believe your words, but I don't understand how you are

a beggar. That's all.

- I don't do any work and I live by begging. I live on theearnings of others who work hard. Do you understand now?

- But the Brahmins are supposed to live on alms. They haveto depend on the society for their food. You are a Brahmin.

How can you say that you are a beggar?

- No, I am not a Brahmin. I am a Chandala... So nowNivedita believes that I am a beggar because I say so. Butshe doesn't understand what I mean. One has told me,'Yaatum tarum peru yaachakaa potri' (Hail the GreatBeggar who gives everything!). Minakshisundaram haswritten like that. He calls me 'Peru Yaachakaa' (GreatBeggar). So I am not ordinary beggar (laughter, then,showing the book). See, Minakshisundaram has given thisbeggar a certificate. He wrote this when he had only twoyears' contact with me. He has written a lot about this

beggar. (Nivedita reads aloud, and comes to the line 'HailShanmuga, who revels in Samadhi'!) See, he calls meShanmuga. I am Lord Muruga! And then he tells somethingconnecting this beggar to the Vedas. Read it out.- Hail the one who is in the form of the Vedas beginning

with Rig.

- Yes, that is the line. He says I am Rig, Yajur, Sama andAtharva Vedas. Lot of people have written like this. Ki. Va.Ja. has also written like that." (Ki. Va. Jagannathan isanother renowned Tamil scholar). . (27/09/88 - T.D.nov.88-jan.89)

(About Ki. Va. Ja. who just passed away :) "He used to

come here and spend long hours, singing songs on thisbeggar and some devotees used to record them. He used todo regular sandhvavandana." (27/09/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

(To a devotee, named Patanjali :)

- Do you know that Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutra on theAshtaanga Yoga ?- I didn't read it.

- Je ne l'ai pas lu.- Pourquoi le liriez-vous ? Vous l'avez crit ! Regarde, Nivedita,ton pre a crit que je suis un grand Yogi. Les gens viennent iciaprs avoir lu cela. Mais ce mendiant ne connat pas Yama,Niyama, Asana, etc.- Vous faites le Japa Yoga.

- Cela est yajna. Yajnaanaam japa yajnosmi, dit Krishna. Bien,tu as d'une manire ou d'une autre trouv un moyen d'appeler cemendiant un Yogi." (04/11/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

- Why should you read it ? You have written it. SeeNivedita, your father has written that I am a great Yogi.People come here after reading it. But this beggar doesn'tknow Yama, Niyama, Asana, etc.- You are doing Japa Yoga.

- That is yajna. Yajnaanaam japa yajnosmi, says Krishna.

Well, you have somehow or other found out a way to callthis beggar a Yogi." ((04/11/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"This beggar is always with the devotees who havecomplete faith. Only faith is important. If faith is there, thisbeggar is always there. He is easily accessible. This beggaris not limited to this body, if you pray with faith, he can befound anywhere and everywhere!" (27/09/88 - T.D.nov.88-jan.89)

(Nivedita shows to Yogiji a map of India on which it is

written : 'India first, religion next, myself last') : "Thisbeggar thinks only of himself first. He is selfish. This istrue only of great patriots like Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindoand others. (Bursting into laughter :) This may also be trueof your father. Rangaraja thinks of the country first. Hedoes not think of his family.

Come on, we will gohome... This beggar is not in a mood to talk about anything.Dwaraknath Reddy has been very kind to this beggar and

he has been taking a lot of care of this beggar. He had aheart attack some years back, but this beggar did not knowabout that. Recently he went for a medical check up and thedoctors have advised the operation. This beggar prayed toMy Father to make him well without operation. But,sometimes, My father doesn't accept this beggar's appeals.So this beggar has prayed to My Father to see that theoperation is successful. My Father will accept this prayer."

"Tout ce que fait ce mendiant est une bndiction. Mme quanden colre il crie colre sur les gens, ce n'est qu'une bndiction.Il en bnficieront de manire certaine. Quand il s'asseoit enprsence de ce mendiant, mon Pre les transforme mme s'il sepeut qu'ils n'en soient pas conscients." (Srgnt 03-02)

Le nom 'Yogi Ramsuratkumar'.-

"Pourquoi venez-vous voir ce mendiant, dpensant votre argentet votre temps, au lieu d'accomplir vos devoirs ?... Vous pensezqu'il est important de voir la forme physique de ce mendiant.Mais si vous aviez su que ce mendiant est partout, vous neviendriez pas ici souvent. O que vous alliez, qui que vousrencontriez, n'importe quel moment o vous faites votre

travail, si vous prononcez le Nom de ce mendiant, YogiRamsuratkumar, le Pre de ce mendiant viendra vous soutenir."( Pon Kamaraj - B.S.Y.R.)

"Oui, il y a une comprhension entre ce mendiant et son Pre. Siquelqu'un crie le nom de ce mendiant dans une circonstancedifficile, mon Pre se rue son aide." (T.D., nov.88-Janv.89)

"Seul le Pre fait tout. Ce mendiant ne sait rien. Toutes les foisque quelqu'un se trouve dans l'ennui, si le nom de ce mendiant,YOGI RAMSURATKUMAR, est dit ne serait-ce qu'une fois,Pre accourra pour aider." (28/1/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

(A Nivedita :) "Ramakrishna a pris un soin total pour sesdisciples dans ses derniers jours. Il ne pensait rien d'autre.Mais ce mendiant ne prend pas soin de son disciple.- Mais vous faites tout pour mon pre.- Ce mendiant 'est trs goiste. Il veut la rputation. Ton prefait de la propagande pour ce mendiant, n'est-ce pas ?- Votre nom a un grand pouvoir.

- Quel pouvoir a le nom ?- Voyez, quand nous appelons un homme 'chien' , il se met en

colre. Ainsi mme le mot 'chien' a un pouvoir. Aussi les noms

'dieu', 'Yogi', etc... doivent avoir un norme pouvoir.

- Alors, si vous appelez un homme 'Yogi Ramlsuratkumar', il vase mettre dans une colre terrible, n'est-ce pas ?

- Non, je parle de la puissance.- Oui, le nom Yogi Ramsuratkumar a une puissance. Siquelqu'un le prononce, mon Pre se ruera son aide." (04/11/88- T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"Whatever this beggar does is a blessing. Even when he

shouts at people in anger, it is only a blessing. They willsurely benefit from that. When they sit in the presence ofthis beggar, my Father transforms them even though theymay not be aware of it." (Srgnt 03-02)

The name 'Yogi Ramsuratkumar'.-

"Why do you come to see this beggar, spending yourmoney and time, instead of doing your duties ? ... Youthink it important to see the physical frame of this beggar.But had you known that this beggar is everywhere, youwould not come here often. Wherever you go, whomeveryou meet whenever you are at your duty, if you utter theName of this beggar, Yogi Ramsuratkumar, this Beggar'sFather will come to you support." (To Pon Kamaraj -B.S.Y.R.)

"Yes, there is an understanding between this beggar and hisFather. If anybody calls this beggar's name in any difficultcircumstance, My Father rushes to his help."

"Only the Father does everything. This beggar doesn'tknow anything. Whenever one is in trouble, if this beggarname, YOGI RAMSURATKUMAR, is called even once,Father will rush help." (28/1/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

(To Nivedita :) "Ramakrishna took complete care of hisdisciples in his last days. He never thought of anythingelse. But this beggar is not taking care of his disciple.- But you do everything for father.

- This beggar is very selfish. He wants name. Your father isdoing propaganda for this beggar. Isn't so ?- Your name has a great power.- What power the name has ?- You see, when we call a man a 'dog', he gets angry. So

even the name 'dog' has some power. So the names 'god',

'Yogi', etc. must have tremendous power.

- So, if you call a man 'Yogi Ramsuratkumar', he will betremendously angry, isn't it ?- No, I meant the force.- Yes, the name of Yogi Ramsuratkumar has a force. Ifanybody says it, my Father will rush to his or her help."(04/11/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

beggar!" (27/09/88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"This beggar touches all those who enter this ashram andnobody goes empty-handed and my Father will look aftertheir welfare. That is the truth." (Y.R.S. -M.)

about a picture taken in 1974 :) "They wanted to take a photo of this beggar when I was standing hereholding my fan and coconut shell in the hands. A vendor selling couches happened to come here and theytook a valampuri conch and gave that also to me to hold in my hand. So the photo was taken here and fromout of that, this beggar's picture in which you find a halo around his head, drawn by an artist, wasproduced." (T.D. nov88-jan89)

About Dr Sujata Vijayaraghavan's book on Indian Renaissance : "She equated this beggar with greatmasters like Sri Ramakrishna, Aurobindo, Ramana and Shankaracharya. What will the Echaryas think

when they see this ?"(It is said to Yogiji that the Shankaracharya Swami Jayendra Sarasvati enquired about him)"Is it so ? Did the Acharya ask about this beggar ? The Paramacharya also enquired about this beggar to apriest who had gone to see Him. Well, if she, out of her devotion, thinks that this beggar is equal to them,then she is not wrong. A devotee can think of his or her Master in any form as he or she likes." (T.C.nov.88-jan.89)

'Sudama'.-

"Oh! Devaki wants to see God! ... Devaki will see God. She is a pure soul. Devaki will see God !"(27/12/86 -T.D. fev.-av.94)

"This beggar needs someone to take care of him. Devaki and the Sudama sisters are taking so much care ofthis beggar that this beggar cannot live without them." (T.D. nov.93-jan.94)

The Divine Beggar on himself(compiled by Ma Devaki).-

1.- Where is Yogi Ramsuratkumar ? (Big simle). People think he is only from here to here (pointing to his

head and feet). Yogi Ramsuratkumar is here, there, everywhere ... EVERYWHERE (emphatically). He is in

all of you. All of you are in him.

2.- There is no place where this beggar is not.

3.- If anyone sincerely believes that this beggar is doing everything from within them, Father will liberate

them now.

4.- When people think that Yogi Ramsuratkumar is only from here to here (pointing ot his head and feet),

they become narrow, selfish and miserable. He is everywhere. He is in everyone of you.


22/33

5.- Avadhootas are great people. They are not bound by anything. So they cannot be models to the society.

6.- There are great people like Kanchi Paramacharya and other mattathipathies. They have realised the

Self and follow what the Shastras say. They are models for the society. But, sometime, Father send beggars

like this. We cannot be models to people. We are like ... (pointing to a pig that was passing by) eh ... eh ...

we are like that Varaha ... (clat de rire).

7.- This beggar doens't do anywork. He cannot be a model to the society. This beggar doesn't even take a

bath. He simply eats, buy cigarettes with the money you people give, smokes and sleeps all the time

(laughter).

8.- When you people do something, it is different. When this beggar does it, it's different.

9.- Every movement, small or big that this beggar makes, is linked with Father's work. It's not a mere

physical movement. Everything is linked in this cosmos. It's a Totality. When this beggar rearranges things

here, the atmosphere will not be the same again. This beggar has to be very careful. Every small movement

is connected with the entire cosmos. This beggar prefers no changes.

10.- They all say 'Vairagya, Faith in the Guru and repetition of the mantra' are all necessary for God

realisation. This beggar says "Faith in the Guru will do." The others will follow automatically.

11.- Whenever, wherever people talk about this beggar, there Father is present with them.

12.- Whatever we do, we must think that we are doing it for God ... for His sake.

13.- Wherever you are, whatever work you do, just think that you are living for the sake of this beggar in

Tiruvannamalai.

14.- If you want God alone, why do you accept the existence of anything else ?

15.- Bring again and again to the mind that God is your goal and that you are living for His sake alone. If

you forget, it's alright. Try to remember again and again.

16.- (Pointing to Sannadhi street house in which He was seated) This is Father's cottage. Father alone

feeds this beggar. Father takes care of this beggar. Father alone exists. There is nothing else, no one else.

17.- This beggar is a born-beggar, will remain as beggar, will die as beggar.

18.- This beggar has been living in this God-madness for a long long time. Father controls this beggar's

movements. Father alone exists.

19.- When we do everything for God, offer all aour actions - every breath, then surreder comes. When God

accepts this surrender, He takes possession of the body, minds and intellect. Then we become His

instruments. Father begins to work through us. We don't exist then.

20.- The best sadhana is to be near one's Guru, to obey and serve him. All other sadhanas are only after

that. This is the best sadhana.

21.- Whatever hapens, happens by Father's will. Whatever happened is HIS GRACE. Whatever happens is

PERFECT, because Father is perfect. His lila is perfect.


23/33

22.- Whatever happened is a blessing. It's pure grace from Father. Whatever happens is the best that can

happen. It is good for the individual, good for the whole cosmos. Father has to run the whole cosmos,

whatever suits Father's work, that alone happens.

23.- This beggar doesn't exist. Every thought, word and action of this beggar is governed by my Father,

who is the cosmic controller.

24.- The Divine descends where there is no selfishness. Even if there is a trace of selfishness, the Divine

will not descend.

25.- Be grateful to God all the time, for whatever situation He keeps you in.

There are Hydrogen bombs and Atom bombs which are more powerful than any other weapon. If we use these, theworld will be destroyed in no time. Then Brahma will take rest. Then He has to create another world which will takeanother 2000 or 3000 years. Though America and Britain are producing more and more weapons and preparing for anuclear war, it is only my Father who comes in the form of these weapons. These bombs have not been put in thisworld only because oif the Grace of my Father. It is all deceided by Him."

"The most essential and important thing in our life is that we should have faith in God, absolute faith in God. If we donot have Guru Bhakti and faith in Gode, whatever we may possess is of no use. If we have Guru Bhakti and theBlessings of the Guru, then it is more than sufficient and it is more than we can possess materially in this world."

"Un jour les Gopikas offrirent un somptueux repas au sageDurvasa. Elles voulurent plus tard traverser la Narmada pour allervoir Krishna. Elles demandrent au sage de les aider. Durvasaleur demanda de dire : 'Si Durvasa ne vit que d'herbe, que laNarmada livre un chemin!' Elles firent ainsi et leur grandesurprise, la Narmada livra un chemin. Aprs avoir pass quelquetemps avec Krishna, elle voulurent retourner et demandrent del'aide Krishna. Krishna leur demanda de dire : 'Si Krishna est unBala Brahmachari, que la Narmada livre un chemin !' Elles firentainsi et de nouveau la Narmada livra un chemin. Elles sedemandrent comment ces deux mensonges manifestes avaientfait livrer un chemin la Narmada." (28/11/.88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"Un jour un Yogi voulut tester le pouvoir de Jnandev et il vint surun tigre. Jnandev tait alors assis sur un mur. Il demanda au murde bouger pour laisser de la place au Yogi. Le mur se dplaa.Ainsi, quand Jnandev ordonna, le mur se dplaa, mais quand cemendiant ordonne, mme une balle ne bouge pas. (rires)Autrement, nous gagnerions au moins du bronze !"

"Once the Gopikas offered a sumptuous meal to SageDurvasa. Later they wanted to cross Narmada to go andsee Krishna. They asked the sage to help them. Durvasaasked them to say : 'If Durvasa lives only on grass, letNarmada give way!" Tey did so and to their uppersurprise, Narmada gave way. After spending time withKrishna, they wanted to return and sought Krishna's help.Krishna asked them to say : 'If Krishna is a BalaBrahmachari, let Narmada give way!' They did so andagain Narmada gave way. They were wondering howthese two apparent lies made Narmada give way!"(28/11/.88 - T.D. nov.88-jan.89)

"Once some Yogi wanted to test the capacity of Jnandevand he came riding a tiger. Jnandev was then sitting on awall. He asked the wall to move to give way to the Yogi.The wall moved. So, when Jnandev ordered, the wallmoved, but when this beggar ordrers, even a ball doesn'tmove (laugter). Otherwise, we sill at least get a bronze!"(See below : sports. That is the following) (27/09/88 - T.D.nov.88-jan.89)
