Arpanaa Hotel

Ramana Maharishi Ashram

Tiruvannamalai is also synonym to Saint Ramana Maharishi as it is to Lord Arunachalaeswarar. Ramana Maharishi was born in a simple and poor family at a small village near Madurai. He was born in the year 1879 on 30th December. Venkatramana was his real name. After his father’s death when Ramana was only in his teens, he with his mother moved to his uncle’s house in Madurai. It was here that Ramana met a person from Tiruvannamalai who came to his uncle’s house at Madurai. After hearing some news about Tiruvannamalai from that person, he was very impressed on going to see Lord Arunachalaeswar at Tiruvannamalai.

Later Venkatramana left to Tiruvannamalai along with his mother. He settled there and fervently started praying to Lord Arunachalaeswar and continuously sat in penance for many days. Saint Ramana Maharishi’s teachings drew many people towards him.

Bhagavan Ramana is one of the recent sages after Adhi Sankara, who speaks about Advaita – “Self Knowledge” through the question of “Who am I ?”

Devotees repeatedly visit his ashram to receive his immortal blessings. They particularly visit his ashram during the Maha Shivarathri day, and many others visit through out the year.

Mr. Paul Brunton is one of the devotees of Sri Ramana Maharishi. He attracted all the western seekers to the holy place through his two books “A Search in Secret India” and “A Treasure of India”.
