Throughout the history of mankind spiritual giants have appeared on very rare occasions to exemplify the Highest Truth. Guiding followers by their conduct in every moment of their lives; Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi was such a giant. Unique in our time, He perfectly embodied the ultimate truth of Self-realisation, or complete absorption in the Supreme Itself.
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 detract you from your course.
Welcome to arunachala-ramana.org, a non-profit website created for the benefit of those interested in Advaita and the paths to Self-realisation. This site is the direct replacement for the now closed ramana-maharshi.org, Please do not forget to change your bookmarks.
This free website is my dedication to Arunachala and the great saints and sages who were attracted by it thoughout the ages, including that of my own guru, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. It has no connection with anyone who has taken the name of 'Arunachala Ramana'. Visitors to this site are invited to add their own news and comment pages, however, personal promotion will not be permitted under any circumstances.
