Ramana Pada Pancharatnam lays the spiritual journey of Sivaprakasam Pillai. Pillai was the first to receive written instructions about self – enquiry from Ramana Maharshi. There were questions by Sivaprakasam Pillai and Ramana’s replies to them forming the foundation to the text ‘Nan Yaar’ (Who am I?), a ready reckoner to all Spiritual seekers. His experiences of meeting Ramana, his guidance to him and many other instances have been documented in the works – Anugraha Ahaval, Sri Ramana Charitra Ahaval and Ramana Pada Malai. Smt. Sulochana Natarajan inspired by this work of Sivaprakasam Pillai has composed music and presented the Ramana Pada Malai similar to the lines of Thyagaraja Swamy’s Pancharatna Kritis using ragas Nattai, Goula, Arabhi, Varali and Sri. The pallavi is aptly chosen as Ramanan Padam Vazhgave. The attempt to translate to Kannada has also happened here, giving the english meaning along with the verse. The text also includes stories related to the verses showing Ramana’s life – his compassion towards devotees, animals, and even sinners by reminding everyone about Self enquiry and emphasising on liberating oneself from this world or the cycle of birth and death, resting in the truth of the Self.
