He seemed unattached to anything like water on a lotus leaf, sparkling in the sun. I found in him a resemblance to the siddha purusha who had once came into my dream, and also saw in him all the attributes of a jivanmukhta as described in the Vasistham and other vedantic books. Though for the next ten days Bhagavan had not spoken to me, I was deeply impressed by him. His compassionate look calmed my mind, but as I could not withstand its intensity I involuntarily bent my head again. After about ten minutes I lifted my head and found Bhagavan looking at me intensely.

I entered the hall full of nervousness, bowed before Bhagavan and sat with bent head in the place reserved for ladies. As the daughter of one of our uncles was at the Ashram after her husbandвЂ™s death, my brother agreed to send me there. Luckily for me, it occurred to him that I too would be greatly benefited by going there. He happened to go to Thiruvannamalai also and have BhagavanвЂ™s darshan. In 1941, my elder brother went on a pilgrimage to the south. Whenever I was reminded of that vision, I used to pray to God that I should have the privilege of serving such a sage in my lifetime. Since then I have had that vision imprinted in my mind.

I tried to get up to offer my salutations to him and so involuntarily opened my eyes. When I saw that brilliant figure a thrill went down my spine. During the sleep, I had the darshan of a sage seated in a padmasana pose on a pedestal three feet high facing south in a mouna mudra like Lord Dakshinamurthi. I wept and wept and getting tired, fell asleep. One day I prayed with all sincerity that I should have a siddha pursha like Kapila Mahamuni for a guru. I read PothanaвЂ™s Bhagavatam over and over again. Religious discourses, devotional songs and similar matters began to attract me.Д«eing born in a village not having even an elementary school I looked after my education by learning to read and write with the help of elders.

As years rolled by, I began to understand the way of the world. Only a year later my husband passed away. My father passed away when I was four years old, and my mother, when I was ten. Nagamma in a way acted as Sri RamanaвЂ™s secretary in regard to copying from scriptures, writings etc., where Telugu language was involved.

In addition to Letters from Sri Ramanasramam, her two other books are: My Life at Sri Ramanasramam and Letters from and Recollections of Sri Ramanasramam. These letters faithfully record discussions the devotees and visitors had with the Maharshi and happenings at the Ashram. Suri Nagamma (1902-80) is known for her 273 letters in Telugu, written during 1945-50, at the behest of her elder brother, who was an executive in a commercial bank and a devotee of Sri Ramana.
