சமகாலத்தில் வாழ்ந்த ரமணர் - மகா பெரியவர் என்னும் இந்த இரு மகான்களுக்கு இடையே மலர்ந்த அற்புத நிகழ்வுகளின் மெய் சிலிர்க்கும் தொகுப்பு .
While Sri Ramana Maharshi set Self-Realization as the ultimate aim, Kanchi Acharya underlined the need to uphold Dharma. While Sri Ramna Maharshi highlighted the importance of Atma Jnana through Self-enquiry, Kanchi Acharya followed the path of devotion, discipline and Upasana. While Bhagavan confined himself at Tiruvannamalai ever since his arrival there, Kanchi Acharya embarked on a long pilgrimage to different parts of the country carrying the message of Sanatana Dharma. While meditation, introspection and Self-enquiry formed the main practice at Sri Ramanasramam, Pujas, rituals, recitals of hymns formed the practice at Kanchi Math.
The two sages were contemporaries and yet they have never met each other. But this is only the perception of the general public. The sages have their own means of contact and communication. Though the two sages never saw the physical presence of the other, they held deep respect for each other and even knew each other. Without even seeing him, Maha Periyava had known Sri Ramana Maharshi very well. This is evident from the suggestion he gave when Paul Brunton came to him. Paul Brunton, a philosopher and journalist from Britain, was in search of spiritual knowledge; the quest that brought him to India and to the holy land of Kanchi. After prostrating at the feet of Maha Periyaval, Paul Brunton said he was in search of a Guru who could lead him to the knowledge of eternal truth. Having observed his eagerness for the real knowledge (Jnana), Paramacharya advised him to see Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi at Tiruvannamalai. It is evident that Paramacharya has known Bhagavan as the embodiment of Jnana, who alone could quench the spiritual thirst of the western seeker. It is only as a result of this suggestion made by Paramacharya, the world has come to know about Sri Ramana Maharshi through Paul Brunton. Later, Paul Brunton stated his experience of meeting Maharshi thus: “In the presence of Maharshi, one felt security and inward peace. The spiritual radiation that emanated from him was all penetrating. I learnt to recognise in his person the sublime truth. He possessed a personality which defies description.” “He was the one Indian mystic who inspired me most, the sage whom I revered most. His power was such that both Governor General and ragged coolie sat together at his feet with the feeling that they were in a divine presence.”
The question continued to be asked as to why these two giant sages never met each other, despite being in short distance. The answer to this question came from Jagadguru Himself. It was sometime in October 1947. The sage of Kanchi was camping at Tiruvannamalai. Then, a devotee went up to the Acharya and posed this question. Prompt came the reply from Paramacharya: “When were we separate? Only if we were apart from each other, the question of meeting comes; but we were always one”.
