THE verses composed by Ganapati Muni
describing the glory of Bhagavan Sri Ramana
Maharshi in the 18th Chapter of Sri Ramana Gita
are infused with inspiration and insight. A sample
of this chapter chanted can be heard on Arunachala
Ashrama’s website at:
“http://www.arunachala.org/bookstall/audio” .
The following eight verses conclude the chapter.

20. This is the third appearance here on earth of the God

providing a living example of abidance in Brahman (pure
being).
