<strong>The</strong> <strong>Story</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Rama</strong><br />

God, so the order of names of this body (meaning<br />

himself) is reversed. In pre-monk days, it wxas<br />

Tirath <strong>Rama</strong> now it is <strong>Rama</strong> Tirath" Later on, he<br />

deleted playfully the little 'i' out of the last word,<br />

and began signing himself as "<strong>Rama</strong> Truth". He<br />

gave his whole thought to mental healing, when he<br />

said "Disease is only dis-ease". Be at ease with your<br />

God, with yourself and be whole, holy, and you<br />

cannot have any dis-ease. He changed atonement<br />

and always wrote and pronounced it as at-onement.<br />

He said understanding is standing under,<br />

diving deep into your own Real Self. He played<br />

with his title <strong>Swami</strong>. It is a Sanskrit word meaning'<br />

‗Lord‘ and carries in it the sense of superiority over<br />

others. He spelt and pronounced <strong>Swami</strong> as So-am-<br />

I. He would write a letter and subscribe himself<br />

thus:<br />

So-am-I<br />

<strong>Rama</strong> Truth<br />

He played similarly with his Mantram, his<br />

continuous chant, the natural warble of this free<br />

bird. OM, he would say, is O'am; O is the Persian<br />

word which means He, M stands for I am—He I<br />

am or "I am God ".<br />
