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

listen to your strange words and to look at your<br />

strange face; But that is curiosity; <strong>Of</strong> the many<br />

hundred women <strong>Rama</strong> met, only two were serious,<br />

and especially one of them Ganga 13 was divine;<br />

<strong>Rama</strong> met no such other woman in India or in<br />

America…<br />

One day a great actress of America asked for a<br />

private interview which <strong>Rama</strong> freely gave her. She<br />

was loaded with pearls and jewels, and so heavily<br />

perfumed was she, that it seemed, as if she was<br />

made of fragrance. <strong>The</strong>re was a smile rippling on<br />

her lips which was so new in its every new eddy, -<br />

But as she came, she fell on the floor weeping:<br />

'<strong>Swami</strong>, I am miserable! Make me happy. Look not<br />

to my pearls, nor to my smiles - they are my<br />

outward habits of which, I, my me, my I, is sick.<br />

<strong>Rama</strong> comforted her. Her confession appeared to<br />

<strong>Rama</strong> to be the confession of Western civilization<br />

itself…<br />

Another lady came, she was much distressed. She<br />

had lost her child and wished <strong>Rama</strong> to make her<br />

happy. <strong>Rama</strong> replied, '<strong>Rama</strong> sells happiness and<br />

you must pay the price'. ‗Anything <strong>Swami</strong>! Any<br />

13<br />

Ganga was the name <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Rama</strong> gave to that lady.<br />
