Sevadals Are My Blissful Relatives

Ramana, accept blessings. Received your letter. Contents are noted. Prasada Rao had come over here. He requested Swami to come to Hyderabad on 18th or 19th. I am very happy. All things here are going on smoothly. Time is less, and works are many. Therefore, I am getting works done even during nights. You people have taken lot of trouble. Works went off fast when you were here. Very happy indeed. The Seva Dal people are my blissful relatives. Convey blessings to your Grihalakshmi (wife) and to the Chiranjeevis (youngsters).

Ramana! You may be knowing about Pedda Bottu who is staying in Prasanthi Nilayam. Her niece, Rajyalakshmi, having lost her husband and without any children, is all alone. She owns good property. She has been requesting since long to annex this property into Swami’s Organisation. But, you know that I don’t have such desires. While the whole world belongs to me, these petty things will not make me greater in any manner. I told her to help someone who is poor in her family circle. She said that she had no one now, and that she had already given to a few of her relatives sufficient money earlier. Now, her health is in a very bad condition. Poor woman, stomach ulcer in an advanced condition. Doctor advised operation. She cannot take food. Therefore, she is insisting on doing something about her property. She feels that some School of Veda or some other charitable institute can be established at her place after selling the property. Earlier, it seems Krishna had accepted to do it provided Swami accepts this proposal. Sita Mahalakshmi, it seems, agreed to work for it. Since her ways are different, it is not proper to assign it to her. Yourself and Sri Krishna will be able to help in this regard. Be that as it may. It is important first to take care of her health. All other things are not so important. Therefore, better to show her there to a good doctor, and if necessary, get her operated. Tell Hema Chandran that Swami’s grace is there in abundance. Tell him about this Swami’s letter. Arrange with a big doctor. Money for operation, fees, and any other thing will be arranged by us. Poor woman is not having any male support. She is not courageous by nature. This is a major aspect of brotherhood and sisterhood. Therefore, go to her house, take her to a good doctor and take his advice. Other things can be arranged after I come over there. Pedda Bottu is also present there. Her address is known to Sita Mahalakshmi or Sri Krishnan. Swami has already arranged everything. Mention this long letter and tell her about the abundant grace that Swami is showering on her. It is better to shift her to a hospital. Take the help of Dr. Hema Chandran also, as someone whom you know. Success and failure are in God’s hand; human duty is to endeavour to the best of their ability.

Tell her emphatically that Swami’s grace and compassion towards her are in abundance; and tell her that Swami is unable to come because of pressure of work at Prasanthi Nilayam.

Tell that Swami will take care of everything. Make all necessary arrangements. This is a real Seva (spiritual service). Our support and help are essential in situations such as this.
