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.
