This figure is the embodiment of spiritual India, and we meet him again and again in literature. No wonder, then, that Zimmer* was passionately interested in the latest and best incarnation of this type in the phenomenal personage of Shri Ramana. He saw in this Yogi, the true Avatar of the figure of the Rishi, Seer and Philosopher, which strides, as legendary as it is historical, down the centuries and the ages. Shri Ramana is, in a sense, a hominum homo , a true ‘son of man’ of the Indian earth.
