#KrishnarajaWodeyar The Mysore maharaja came to Tiruvannamalai in 1937 for the specific purpose of having darshan of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. He came with a lot of offerings, specially made sweets etc. The Maharaja asked that his car be parked

at a distance. When told that the car could enter the ashram premises, the Maharaja said, "No, when we go to have darshan of the Maharshi we have to walk".
The car was parked about a furlong from the ashram near the Agni Teertham. Krishnaraja and his retinue walked to the ashram

He asked for a private audience with Bhagavan, which the latter never gave to anyone. Anyone could enter and sit in the Old Hall before Bhagavan. But, since the Maharaja insisted, Bhagavan agreed and said that the former could meet him in the bathroom which was the only place he

would be alone. Krishnaraja Wodeyar went inside the bathroom, and with tears copiously flowing from his eyes fell at Bhagavan's feet, caught hold of them and told him, "They have made me a king, thus robbing me of the opportunity to sit at your feet and serve you. This is my fate

This is the first and perhaps the last time I will be having your darshan. Please bless me and my subjects."
The Mysore Maharaja then bid a tearful farewell to Bhagavan and the ashram. After coming into the Old Hall, Bhagavan said, "ஒரு மஹாராஜா, அவருக்கு உள்ள இவ்வளவு இருக்கு,

பழுத்த பழம்". Meaning, "Though a king, he has so much value within him. He is a ripe fruit".
