	People Samartha Ramdas - Biographies Of Great Indians
		Ramdas sprinkled over a dead body holy water uttering the name of Rama and the dead body was restored to life.
		Ramdas now felt doubly convinced that the several incarnations of the Lord were but His several forms and preached that everyone should respect and worship the One who took care of one and all in the world.
		Ramdas asked Shivaji to rule the kingdom in his (Ramdas's) name, to take the Gerua Chaddar for his banner and defend its honour with his life, and to think that the kingdom did not belong to himself but treat it as a trust to be ruled justly and well before God.

	Samarth Ramdas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Samarth Ramdas (Marathi: समर्थ रामदास) (1608-1681) is considered one of the greatest Hindu saints of Indian history.
		Samarth Ramdas found that Shivaji had all the potential virtues to be a great leader and create a "Swarajya" (one's own kingdom).
		Ramdas described Shivaji as "निश्चयाचा महामेरु, बहुत जनांसी आधारु, अखंडस्थितीचा निर्धारु, श्रीमंत योगी" (loose translation: [He is the one with] a rock solid resolve, [He is] a source of support to the masses, [He is] the great unifier, [He is] a noble and just King).

	God Assumes All Forms
		Next, approaching Ramdas, he chanted the burden of a popular Kanarese song, the purport of which was: "Thou art the ever pure, all-merciful and mysterious Govinda." He sang forth this verse in his own peculiarly passionate and impressive style.
		Ramdas with perfect nonchalance born of complete self-surrender loosened the kaupin from his otherwise naked body to offer it to him.
		Ramdas returned to the room and the moment he sat down on the floor, he was lost in a deep trance.

	Larry Darrell, the Holy Man, and Swami Ramdas
		Ramdas was a highly venerated Swami that studied under the Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, stayed in the caves above his ashram, and who had been traveling on pilgrimage, visiting various shrines and temples throughout India at the exact same time as my Mentor.
		Since Ramdas was basically an unknown in America in those days and we didn't have the level of sharing of information that we do now, in my opinion the only way for my mentor to have drawn such an analogy was for he himself to have met or known Ramdas on a personal level.
		That is, at the time Darrell is telling his story to Maugham, Ramdas has long since become a friend, so he calls him a friend even though at the time of Madura, maybe some five years before or so, they may not have been friends in the classical sense.
