the New Hall

[Guest guest]

om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Dear Members,

there was again a longer break, but now I hope to continue more

regularly with the journey.

 

We have at last been visiting Mother's Shrine, now we enter

from there the New Hall, where Bhagavan spent his

last months.

The room is - compared with the Old Hall - large and rich,

it is not very homely there to stay, also a little bit dark. Also today not many people

are found there to meditate. Normally one enters there, has

a look and goes further to Mothers Shrine, but it is not inviting much to stay there for longer

in a meditative mood.

 

There is a big stone couch, which Ramana did not like so much to sit on,

as it is reported. It is a very artful work, as one can possibly see

a little bit on the picuture, made of a big black stone. But sitting on it seems not

to be very comfortable.

The window behind the stone couch shows the Samadhi Hall.

As already said, Samadhi Hall, Temple of the Mother and New Hall are

built together. Entering the Samadhi Hall, one can go to Mother's Shrine and

from there to the New Hall and leaving again, or the other way round of course.

 

The other picture shows the look from the New Hall to outside. At the background

the small Nirvana Room shows up - where we will have a look tomorrow.
