Memories and Notes on Guru Ramana

The famous cow Lakshmi, the pet of the Ashram, who has been ailing since some time, today passed away at about noon. Having known of her approaching death, Sri Maharshi went to the Goshala (the cow house) at about 9-45 a.m., sat on the ground, put her head in his lap and stroked it gently, repeating with infinite tenderness “Lakshmima, Ma, Ma, Ma Lakshmi” to comfort her in her last hour.
