Yogi Ram Suratkumar or Visiri
Swamigal was an enlightened
Master, a contemporary of
Bhagwan Sri Ramana
Maharishi. He was well-known
and well-liked in
Tiruvannamalai. Driven to him
by the will of Existence,
Paramahamsa became instant
friends with this sage.
Barely distinguishable from a
beggar, Yogi Ramsuratkumar
would sit amidst a pile of garbage
that he had collected on the steps of
the building adjacent to
Thermutti, where the temple
chariot was parked. It was
customary for people to stop by and
ask him questions about their
future. Children on their way to
school would stop and ask how they
would fare in their exams. They
could rarely elicit a response from
the intriguing Mystic.
One day, Paramahamsa on his way to school, stopped and asked if he would pass in his test in school that day. He got a reply, 'You will pass the test of life, my boy!' Paramahamsa could not comprehend the meaning of those words. A lady who sat nearby hearing this told him, 'Go on child! You will not understand these words now, but you will recall them later!'
