Incidents Related To Suri Nagamma Presenting Fried Corns To Bhagavan Ramana

From 1940, when Suri Nagamma started living in her small apartment in Tiruvannamalai, she was living on fried corns and milk.Once or twice, she presented fried corns to Bhagavan Ramana.He called for salt and chilly powder, mixed them with the fried corns, took alittle and gave the rest for distribution.After some time, Bhagavan told her:"Why are you making this frequently?This Asram is like an ocean.Howsoever you may bring, it may not be sufficent.Please stop it."Suri Nagamma made these presentsmore infrequent.

Once in the new season, she took some fried corns.Bhagavan asked her: "Why are you spending money?On the Hills, I have eaten such grains and corns.These are tasty and nutritious.People nowadays bring, laddus and jilebis and they may think that fried corns are quite cheap items."As usual He mixed ghee, chilly powder and salt and
took it and distributed to others.Suri Nagamma felt happy like Sudhama seeing Krishna eating battered rice!

On another occasion, Bhagavan asked her:"You are doing all these things.You are spending quite a long hours in the Asram.You are doing writing work.How do you find time for all these?"Venkata Ratnam and Suramma said:"She does not sleep at all.We have seen the lights burning all the time in her house.She is getting up around 3 am everyday!"
