What's New

Updated July 2006

This entire site has been coded to be XHTML compliant and uses CSS for the layout. This will make the site more accessible for the disabled. All of the pages have been formatted to accommodate virtually all screen resolutions from 800 x 600 up to 1440 x 1024.

Javascript

I have added several Java slideshow applets to enable visitors to see photographs in this format. All of the photographs in the slideshows are still linked to larger versions which will open beneath the slideshows.

The 'Arunachala' photos:

Better photographs have been added to the 'Arunachala Photos' pages, in addition to some photographs of the Sri Arunachaleswarar Temple at Tiruvannamalai. Both are available in slideshow format.

The Restored Photographs of Bhagavan

The Restored Photographs section has been included on this site. The Slideshow pages contain all of the restored black and white and coloured photos in two sets, linked to the larger versions ... to access the slideshows JAVA must be enabled in your browser.

Other pages:

The 'Book Lists' pages are available only in 'frameset' versions and list all of the books available on Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. They are not available through this site. The Sri Ramansramam English Publications List in PDF format has been added to the 'Downloads Page' for those who want a printed version.

I have added links to three Tiruvannamalai charities to the site. All three of these charities are genuine and do excellent work. These appeals are for direct contribution by those devotees who feel inclined to help.

----------------------------------

Things in the Internet world move forward quickly, we move more slowly and try to add improvements that are actually worthwhile in our opinion. The limited use of PDF files on the site is one improvement we feel is definitely worthwhile and quite a lot of files are available from the 'Downloads Page' - please visit it.

I hope that I have made the site easier to access and improved the visibility of the pages for those with low-end screens and poor connection speeds. People with Browsers prior to version 5.5 or 6.0 might have difficulty in loading the pages properly. They should consider installing at least version 6.0.

The Arunachala-Ramana CD

I know that many people waited a long time for this CD to be made available and it was finally launched in June of 2001. Apart from one minor bug in a video-preview file affecting only a few operating systems, the CD has been warmly received by all who have purchased it to date - click here for information on the CD contents.

Books to download

A selection of books published by Sri Ramanasramam are available for free download from the Downloads page on the sriramanamaharshi.org website. On the downloads page of this site there are two books in French, five in German and two in Magyar, all in PDF format. Four more books in German are available in HTML format. We hope that other languages will follow in the coming twelve months.
