When I was In Lucknow in the summer of 1997

having a nice place to stay helped me greatly.

Because I did not have to think about where I was

staying. That was my fourth trip to India, and

having a nice place to stay really helped to make it a

great experience.

 

There is of cource traditionally an emphasis on not

being concerned over such matters as to where one is

staying. I agree with that view, however if one is not

yet ripe for it, unpleasant surroundings can be an

obstacle.

 

Bhagavan Ramana was asked by very many people

if they should leave home and take to the

homeless life of a renunciate (sanyasi).

His answer was almost always no.

He said that it is better not to leave when one

is unripe for it. He said the obstacles may even

increase in the new environment.

He said that when one is ripe for it,

it happens automatically just like a ripe fruit

falling from a tree.

 

After the MahaNirvana of Papaji (Poonjaji)

I was thinking about where I wanted to go.

I asked David Godman about Sri Ramanasramam,

Tiruvannamlai etc.

He told me that there were no guest houses there,

that I would have to arrange for my own accommodation.

 

 

A guest house is often created when a foreigner rents

a house and then rents rooms to other foreigners.

 

Since that was back in 1997, and since so many people

have gone to Tiru since then, I would guess there

would be some guest houses there now.

 

Sharing practical information regarding long and short

 

term visits to Tiru, Sri Ramanasramam and

Mount Arunachala is one of the purposes of

the Sri Arunachala egroup.

 

Therefore if you have any such information please

do join the Sri Arunachala group and post such

information.

 

Devotees of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi are welcome

to use this group as a forum to communicate with

each other and share their experiences etc.
