The image of Ramana in people’s minds is largely that he is a Maharshi abiding always in the lofty
Himalayan heights of self-abidance. This image leads them to assume that he is aloof from the concerns of one’s
daily life. Nothing can be farther from the truth. In fact he is our constant companion bestowing his boons in limitless
abundance. This may be in situations when the devotee is in utter distress and more so when he wards off the blows of
unexpected and unanticipated destiny as our protector and powerful friend.
