Sri Ramana Maharshi's younger brother, Nagasundaram came to stay permanently with his sage brother at Arunachala in 1917, at the age of 32. He had lost his wife after the birth of their child Venkataraman, and leaving his child in the loving care of his sister Alamelu, he formally took sannyasa in 1918, taking the name Niranjanananda. Also known as Chinnaswami, with his administrative adeptness and insights, and fully supported by the grace of Sri Bhagavan, he admirably managed the ashrama as the Sarvadhikari from Oct. 1931 until his absorption in 1953. In this excerpt from the book In the Service of Sri Bhagavan, written by his granddaughter Smt. Mangalam, we see the love that this great karma yogi had for Sri Bhagavan, and how he laid the groundwork to ensure that Ramanasramam remain a center for devotees for centuries to come. From the daily supervision of ashram activities, to the ashram book depot, to the construction and consecration of Mother's temple, Chinnaswami's complete surrender to Sri Bhagavan was evident in every facet of his inspiring life.
