Kunju Swami hails from Palakkad, Kerala.  He came to Bhagavan Ramana, when He was on the Hill.  He had good omens.  Mother Azhagamma was also there at that time.  Bhagavan Ramana made
Kunju Swami feel the peace in His presence.  A couple of weeks passed.  Kunju Swami felt that the Samadhi anbuhava, the peace,that he had with Bhagavan Ramana can be attained even at his
house in Kerala.  He returned to Kerala.  Within a few days, all the Samadhi anubhava evaporated.  He became full of wrong emotions and 'normal' life tendencies.  He rushed to Bhagavan Ramana back.  Bhagavan Ramana smiled at him and said:  Be here.  This Place (Tiruvannamalai) will only give you permanent abidance.  You do not go elsewhere.  From that day, Kunju Swami never left Bhagavan Ramana and he used to go out of Tiruvannamalai only when Bhagavan Ramana told him to go.On this day, in the year 1992, Kunju Swami, one of the earliest devotees of Bhagavan Ramana attained merger at the feet of
Bhagavan Ramana.
