"Silence is the most powerful form of teaching; speech only distorts the truth."

Archival Overview

Sage of Arunachala and master of Advaita Vedanta who taught the direct method of Self-inquiry ('Who Am I?') and radiated silent transformative peace to seekers from across the globe.

Biographical Record

Ramana Maharshi (1879–1950 CE) experienced a spontaneous death experience at age sixteen in Madurai, realizing that the body dies while the inner Self is pure, immortal consciousness.

Leaving for the sacred mountain of Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai, he spent fifty-four years in silent absorption and gentle guidance, showing that the root of all thoughts is the 'I'-thought, dissolving it in the Spiritual Heart.
