He was so deeply coloured in the divinity of His beloved Lord, that the tribulations of the outer world seemed trifle to him.
Ramana Maharshi, at times, used to narrate the story of Manikkavachakar to his disciples, so as Rto highlight the kind of faith and patience a disciple should nurture in his inner being for his beloved Master.
Manikkavachakar was born in a village called Vaadavur (Vaatapuri) in Pandya Desa in Arunachal Pradesh, India.
