Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Richard, What a nice opportunity! *** I am living in Bangalore now and two weeks ago had my first visit to Ramanashram. It was a very great spiritual experience. I also did the Giri Pradakshinam (Circling the hill) and these last two weeks have been so different. It was a one-day trip and I am longing to visit the place again... Since you are guided by your great teacher Nome, nothing more you can ask for! With Deep desire for liberation and disregard for everything else, 'The Outer Guru will push you inward and The Inner Guru will pull you inward', Ramana says.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Dear Ravi. Thank you for your good wishes. We will be here one week. We expect to take the circle walk of the Great Hill on thee night of the full moon (next Monday, I think). I have felt at Ramanasramam already how holy the place is. I cannot express the deep experience I had upon my first entry into the old hall! I found myself falling to the floor in pramanam,, full of tears at the sight. have you gone to satsang at the Ramana shrine in Bangalore? ( Or to the Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning ) If you do, tell A R Natarajan or his daughter that Richard from SAT suggested that you go.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Dear Richard, Thank you for keeping the Group posted on your visit. There are a few of our members in the environs of Sri Ramanasramam at present. namaste om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya Miles ------- --------- RamanaMaharshi, "rclarke95125" <rclarke95125> wrote: >>>>> I cannot express the deep experience I had upon my first entry into the old hall!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Richard, Thanks for sharing the experience at Ramanashram. I too had overwhelming experience at the Old Hall. I sat down and closed my eyes. In a few minutes, I heard (in my minds ears) a sentence in Malayalam (not my native tongue, but this sentence has only words I can understand, words whose roots are ancient Tamil) - "Purathae Onnum Ilya", meaning "There is nothing outside". I was so amazed by the clarity and directness of this teaching! In the last two weeks, the conviction that the World imagination is a cinema show projected by our own mind is getting stronger day by day! *** As I was going around His Shrine, I prayed to Him, "Now that you are not here physically, why dont you give me an opportunity to meet a fully realized soul?". Even before that thought completed, the answer occured to me: "Inga irukkarudhu thaane angiyam irukku" ("Whatever is Here is There also!" ) prodding me to probe within myself and meet my Inner Guru - The Self of all. I immediately asked: "What do I do to realize that?" Again, the answer came: "Nothing to do. Just be quiet." And the peace and fulfillment that moment is inexplicable. *** After long hesitation, I decided to share this here. He lives and guides us day by day, if we listen.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 from Haridwar and lo i visited Haridwar only last year. once I was at Ramanasramam in 2001 and when i was returning gujarat and my family suffered a tragic earth quake. so arunachala is mysteriously graceful to us.I love Arunachala.Because Arunachala loves all.christiane cameron <christianecameron (AT) mac (DOT) com> wrote: Om Arunachala ShivaOn Jan 21, 2005, at 10:09, rclarke95125 wrote:>> Dear Ravi.>> Thank you for your good wishes.>> We will be here one week.
