Those who set out upon this quest are fulfilling the true purpose of life itself. This is not an easy path to follow, but be assured that every step taken in pursuit of Self-realisation, accumulates merit that is carried from birth to birth, until that final step is accomplished. This is the testimony of the Sages and doubt should never be allowed to divert you from your course.
Welcome to arunachala-ramana.org, a non-profit website created for the benefit of those who are seriously interested in Advaita and the paths to Self-realisation. This is the more comprehensive sister site to ramana-maharshi.org. Please do not forget to bookmark it.
This website is dedicated to Arunachala and the great saints and sages who were attracted by it thoughout the ages, including that of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Visitors to this site are invited to add their own news and comment via the Interactive section of the site.
