Namaste Sri Ramanan, As you have not responded to my email concerning the Pradakshina video I can only assume

that some disquiet has been caused. It was not the intention. Perhaps i I can e!plain my passion and the undamental belie behind my request it might at least ease the situation. "hat attracted me to #hagavan in the irst place was the act that $e lived the %ruth that $e spoke about. "hen #hagavan stated that all is the Sel , all is #rahman, $e demonstrated that in every word and deed and thus I knew that I could put my complete trust in $im. &y aith in $im is there ore based upon the undamental belie that every word $e uttered was scripture and that every action $e per ormed was scripture in action ' both a per ect demonstration o the path to mukti. (es, we have options in the choice o practice, but the root )All is #rahman* is not an option. In )+ay by +ay*, #hagavan stated ' ,%ill you reach the state o jnana and thus wake out o this maya, you must do social service by
relieving su ering whenever you see it. #ut even then you must do it, as we are told, without ahamkara, i.e ., without the sense ,I am the doer,- but eeling. ,I am the .ord*s tool.- Similarly one must not be conceited, ,I am helping a man below me. $e needs help. I am in a position to help. I am superior and he in erior.- #ut you must help the man as a means o worshipping /od in that man. All such service too is or the Sel , not or anybody else. (ou are not helping anybody else, but only yoursel .-

I have heard the argument that #hagavan stated the above passage in )+ay by +ay* in response to a question and that there ore it applies only to that person. %hat statement 0ust about sums up everything that #hagavan ever said, are we to disregard that also1 I certainly don*t believe that to be so. #hagavan never re used anyone $is prasad, which he distributed equally to all who came and asked or who were 0ust present ' that $is prasad continues to be or everyone and not 0ust or a ew, is the lesson I draw in my li e rom that, and the dream that you have told me you get quite o ten. #hagavan also copied out Arunachala &ahatmayam in sanskrit, so I take that also to contain the complete %ruth to be learned rom. %hat tells us that only those whom Siva calls can come to Arunachala and those who live there do so by $is blessing alone. Arunachala was there irst, everything else ollowed2 Arunachala does not belong to anyone nor to any organisation ' on the contrary everything belongs to Arunachala. %he prasad o Arunachala is or everyone $e calls. %hus I irmly believe that any proceeds rom a video dedicated to pradakshina o Arunachala belong to everyone. I also believe that the )3 $ymns to Sri Arunachala* would be a wonder ul accompaniment to it. I don*t believe that con lict achieves anything. 4on lict simply rein orces the belie in di erence and )that* is contrary to everything #hagavan stood or. I also undamentally believe that when someone comes to me and asks or help, that it is /od who is asking, and that it is or my bene it by helping me to get rid o the deadly poisons o di erence and money.

%he above is the basis o my request. I do not believe that we should become crusading re ormers. I simply believe that it is /od who dwells in my ellow creatures and that when su ering presents itsel be ore me, it is my duty to help. I don*t wish to tell anyone else how to live or conduct themselves2 by the same token I will not turn my back on my brothers and sisters because someone else believes the opposite to me ' each according to his means5 &y best wishes /raham
