Alok da, the story of Raja Harishchandra from the purans glorify the steadfastness of the raja to truth and integrity and in the end is blessed by lord Shiva for his chastity. However, in the process of living for his truth, he puts his wife and child through extreme perilous conditions.

Ramanujan himself often said his insights were gifts from Namagiri Thayar (Lakshmi of Namakkal), his familyโs goddess, who appeared in his dreams and visions, writing

I had a dream tonight, can you explain it: I was cleaning a room in the house we used to live in. A Siddha Yoga practitioner was with me.
