1. Pazhani Swami was the first one. He was an innocent bhakta,totally devoted to Bhagavan Ramana. He did not do much of reading and Bhagavan Ramana had to read the books and explain for his sake. He even tried to quell his mind in the Heart, at the time of death but because of his vasanas, the Jiva rushed out of his eyes.Bhagavan Ramana said that he would have attained a higher birth to complete his self enquiry.
