Sri Lakshmana Swamy met Sri Ramana Maharishi in 1949 in the quest of a spiritual guru. He sat in silence in front of Sri Ramana and tried the *Who am I* enquiry that Sri Ramana suggested to many of his visitors. Sri Lakshmana realized his self in Sri Ramana's presence! Sri Lakshmana wrote something in a small piece of paper and handed it over to Sri Ramana whose face lit up in a smile after reading it. The note read: "O Bhagavan, in your presence and by the quest I have realized the self." Sri Laksmana's life long quest ended in the august presence of Sri Ramana. Sri Lakshmana's birthplace is called Gudur, in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India. He was born on December the 25th, 1925. His mother Audemma was a devotee of Sri Rama, the hero of Ramayana. Audemma named her first son as Rama after Sri Rama himself, and named her second son as Lakshmana, Sri Rama's brother. Much later in Sri Lakshmana's life came Sarada, whom Sri Lakshmana adopted as his daughter. Sarada, out of her immense devotion towards Sri Lakshmana also realized her self. She came to be known as Mathru Sri Sarada, or Saradamma (Sarada Mother) to her devotees. References
