Ramakrishna Paramahansa the Avatar Fanned in me the flames Of vairagya and bhakti. Ramana Maharshi the Sage incomparable Wowed me with his teachings And taught me viveka and jnana. Swami Sarvapriyananda the lovable Made me understand Advaita Like no one else did before. Cousin Madhuri's husband Suresh Boddapati Cured me of many a malady Giving insights into acceptance and nididhyasana.
