YOGI RAMSURATKUMAR
(Enfant Dieu de Tiruvannamalai)

Arthur Hillcoat

I TRAVELLED FROM AUSTRALIA
INDEED I'D TRAVELLED FAR
WHEN CAME ACROSS A HOLY MAN
YOGI RAM SURAT KUMAR

SAT WITH HIM IN SILENCE
FELT A LOVE WITHIN SO STRONG
FOR AT LAST I WAS BEFORE HIM
AND I HAD WAITED LONG.

SEVERAL TIMES I HAD HIS BLESSINGS
THE GOD WITHIN ME STIRRED
AN INITIATION INTO SILENCE
SPONTANEOUSLY OCCURRED.

HE SAID "WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
FROM WHICH YOU FEEL YOU MAY SUCCUMB
YOU HAVE BUT TO CALL MY NAME BUT ONCE
AND THE FATHER HIMSELF WILL COME".

IN LATER WEEKS WHEN TROUBLES CAME
AND WHICH I FELT I COULD NOT BEAR
I CALLED UPON THE YOGI'S NAME
IN A MOMENT - I WAS IN FATHER'S CARE.

I GIVE MY THANKS MOST EVERYDAY
TO BE GIVEN SO MUCH GRACE
AND WHEN E'RE I SIT AND CLOSE MY EYES
I SEE THE YOGI'S SAINTLY FACE.

I HAVE SO OFTEN WONDERFD WHY THAT I
SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FROM SO AFAR
BUT I'LL ALWAYS LOOK TO HIM WITH LOVE,
TO THE YOGI - RAM SURAT KUMAR.
