Sri Lakshmana Swamy - photographs

This is a photograph of the time when Sardamma first met Lakshmana Swamy. The eyes and smile radiate the same grace as Bhagavan Ramana.



Taken in 1951, at age 25 during His first darshan.



Taken in Gudur at age 28 when His hut was being repaired.




The following photograph of Swamy is one of Sardamma's favorites.




This is the earliest photograph of Sri Lakshmana Swamy aged 19.



The back cover of the book, No Mind - I am the Self


One may read the Vedas from beginning to end but one will not find such a detailed account as this: an account ofthe experiences of a devotee who surrendered everything and realized the Self. It is rare to find such a Self-realized one
- Sri Lakshmana Swamy, spoken July 1982.




The following was taken two months after Sardamma realized the Self (Dec 18, 1978)


My congratulations to my favourite daughter, Mathru Sri Sarada, who in my presence on the 18th of December, 1978, realized the Self Supreme which is eternal peace and bliss. There is no doubt that good devotees will benefit by this book which contains her life and teachings.
- Sri Lakshmana Swamy, written June 1982.




Taken in 1986 in Lakshmana Swamy's house
