Ramana Stuthi Panchakam Ramana Satguru refrain

9/4/2021

Refrain
Ramana Sadguru Ramana Sadguru
Ramana Sadguru Raayanae
Ramana Sadguru Ramana Sadguru
Ramana Sadguru Raayanae

Word meaning
sadhguru, sat guru = true guru; raayan = variation of rajan; king

Meaning
SV is calling Bhagavan, inviting him, in this verse, saying, Ramana, you are the real guru, you are the lord. 

Raayan is a title for kings of certain regions, for instance KrishnaDeva Raaya was a king of Vijayanagara empire. Raghavanedra Swamy, a 17th century saint born in Bhuvanagiri, near Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, who followed the Dvaitha tradition, was fondly called ‘raayaru’ as well. He entered into live samadhi (it’s a process where a brindavana is built and the person enters it and the structure is completed around him). It is in Mantralaya.

There is an interesting incident around this song, as Viswanatha Swami narrates:
There was also a devotee from Chidambaram, Subrahmanya Iyer, who often sang with great fervour Tiruvachagam, hymns in praise of Arunachala by Bhagavan, and songs in praise of Bhagavan also. One morning when he began a song with the refrain, “Ramana Satguru, Ramana Satguru, Ramana Satguru Rayane,” Bhagavan also joined in the singing. The devotee got amused and began to laugh at Bhagavan himself singing his own praise. He expressed his amusement and Bhagavan replied, “What is extraordinary about it? Why should one limit Ramana to a form of six feet? Is it not the all-pervading Divinity that you adore when you sing ‘Ramana Satguru, Ramana Satguru?’ Why should I not also join in the singing?”
