Sri Ramanujachariar  the founder  of HOME was at helm of affair in RKHOME.He lived there with students.He was affectionately  addressed as Thatha. When N met Sri Ramanujacharya Said"Pinjil pazukka parkiraya"
Under the guidance of Sri Ruthajananda, who was warden of Home, he practiced sadhana and was reporting to master.They stayed in  a square room in Abdul Hakkim ward in Home.. Many swamijis have continued to stay in that room.I  had the opportunity to stay in that room
.When swamiji came from abroad N,Vaswani brothers, and i have had darshan of Swami. This was one of the places where N practiced.

2.3.Swami Sri Thathagathananda

Sri Swami Thatagananda of Sri Ramakrishna order was used to be in meditation  for longer time.He used arrange for many debates involving varied subjects. To me he was a mystical personality.
We two were walking in campus  and he pointed towards a boy  and predicted  negatively regarding life span .The boy when went to village got drowned.
One-day he was deeply looking into my eyes and said that "You are not ordinary. I see something beyond you eyes , the truth of it he only knows.
During  a speech on religion , he wanted me to speak in English. I stressed that religion has no barrier and experience of Godliness is personal and  can not  be dissected by scientific laws.Yet you can revel in it inwardly.Swamiji declared that "Here is a boy who is young in age but very  old in intellect"I  admire him and thankful to him

2.2.My migration to madras.Ramakrishna home

RKHome
My schooling was started in Elementary school, Thirumarugal and continued there up to 7th standard. At this point of time i visited Madras in the company of my mother to attend a wedding. There i was taken to residence of Palathopu M.Subarayar in the wee hours where i saw old man lying on a cot and another vedic brahmin reciting purusha suktham. i was introduced to the vedic brahmin  by Smt , Rajakka. The pundit inquired about my performance in school.Then Sri Subarayar spoke few wordsabout me to the pundit who was none other than ANNA N.Subramanya Ayyer of Sri Ramakrishn Mission StudentsHome.  This paved way for me to seek a  placement in Home.  ANNA was a venerable  religious master of  par excellence and living embodiment of  our culture.  People  who came to  him were captivated by his charisma. I  also came under his close observation during and after my stay in home.He taught me veda, Upanishad, Geetha etc
Under his care and guidance from dedicated brand of teachers  students were students were tuned to  finer values of life.  Curriculum and ,capacity building  went together to bring out best citizens
My  exposure to  Subaraya ayyer and ANNA and landing in Home,at formative age ,  shaped my pesonality to face the world with truth and honesty.I am grateful to these venerable souls.

2.1.Childhood experience

My first evergreen memory takes me down the line to my childhood (1952).My grand old paternal grandmother was alive at that time.However, despite parentage and middle class facilities all was not well.I could not comprehend the stress that persisted  that shook the family to some extent. At this hour though i was quite incapable of understanding the  enormity of scenario, i still remember of having been under the affable care of a great saint who visited us. He never entered the house but will take me upto Sivan temple entrance holding my finger. He was tall, rosy, and in pure white dhothi ,and shirt.He was very much compassionate to me.
My own assumption and firm faith is , it is the great master and guru of  SriNarayana ayyangar swami who focused on my care and development.
The subsequent events are quite surprising and most unexpected that guided shaped my education to present status.

2. Experience What is it?

An experience by itself is widow to the word you remain un explored.The experience speaks for by itself.  The experience is not something you always plan for it ahead of any thing coming from imagination or fantasy of mind. It just happens . You do not decide it. Then who else decides?Perhaps nature decides it as to what you will be experiencing and out of what ,and circumstances, environ and everything . Our actions are negligible.This is certainly true when you are in nascent stage of life, huddled to parents,grand old people around you.Despite their fondling care something un noticingly draws you  to a greater truth.  When in peril the invisible protects you fondles you guides you steer you out of mess. You may simply say the saint takes you under his care without your own awareness and shapes you as a perfect being. The love and affection he showers is fathomless.
