One early morning, in the Pachaiamman Temple at Tiruvannamalai, Sri Vasishtha Ganapati Muni and other disciples were all sitting in front of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi who was, as usual, sitting, completely in drawn. The Muni saw a sparkling light come down from the sky and touch the forehead of the Maharshi six times.
This vision made the Muni realize that the Maharshi was none other than an incarnation of Lord Subrahmanya. Immediately the poet in the Muni blossomed forth in eight verses in the beautiful çärdülavikréditä metre. Later on as occasion demanded, the Muni composed many verses adoring the Maharshi and these were collected along with the initial eight verses as Sri Ramana Catväriàçat, “Forty Verses in Adoration of Sri Ramana”. These forty verses were daily recited in the presence of Bhagavan during his lifetime and continue to be recited every morning at his Shrine. The verses describe both the human and the divine characteristics of the Maharshi, making no distinction between him and Skanda. As these verses deal with an Avatara Purusha and Jivanmukta and are composed by a great spiritual stalwart of no mean attainments, each verse acts like a Mantra in invoking the presence of the Maharshi and is a veritable boon to every sincere aspirant.
The original plan of the poet was to write one hundred verses on the Maharshi, and a notebook was prepared accordingly, but at the time of the Muni’s passing away in 1936 the verses totalled only forty. These forty verses were copied and arranged by Bhagavan and published in the same year.
Sri Ganapati Muni had a 'bhava' that he being Ganapati, Bhagavan was an avatar of Lord Subramanya, the younger brother of Lord Ganapati and sons of Lord Siva. This is reflected in some of the verses in context.
The hymn has been melodiously rendered by Sr J.Jayaraman and Ms Kimberly A Johnson.
This is a track from the music album, TheMobiusTrips.
