Reviews Of Sri Ramana Ashram

Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India
History of the Ashram and Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi: Founded in 1922 around the Samadhi of Ramana Maharshi's mother, Alagammal, this ashram became the final residence and spiritual center of the revered Advaita sage until his Mahasamadhi in 1950. The ashram embodies his core teaching of 'Self-Inq uiry' (Atma Vichara), focusing on the question "Who am I?". The atmosphere is profoundly tranquil, drawing thousands of devotees and seekers from around the globe who come to sit in silence and absorb the spiritual energy that permeates the premises. Notable visitors like Paul Brunton introduced the Maharshi and his teachings to the West, cementing its global significance. It is a place of austere simplicity, reflecting the sage's life. The main shrine contains the samadhi (resting place) of Ramana Maharshi, where devotees engage in deep meditation. The ashram manages the upkeep of associated holy sites like the nearby Virupaksha Cave and Skandashram, where the Maharshi previously resided on the Arunachala Hill. The community maintains a strict daily schedule of prayers, chanting, and meditation sessions, providing a structured environment for spiritual practice. The serene environment, set against the backdrop of the holy Arunachala mountain, is central to the ashram's spiritual draw, representing Lord Shiva as the column of fire. The ashram also includes a library and bookstall disseminating the sage's teachings.
