Namaste, These references need further validation: http://www.arunachala.org/downloads/books/ramanas-a-oogd.pdf The symbol of Sri Chakra pertaining to Shakti has great mystical powers. Annamalayar and Tiruvannamalai itself possess the natural formation of Sri Chakra. This has been observed by the scholar devotee, Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni, who cited Adi Sankara's verse in support. This point was endorsed by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. ONE OF THE THOUSAND AND EIGHT names given to Arunachala by Adi Sankara is giripradakshinapriya — the Lord who loves giripradakshina. 51 - Sri Arunachala Ashtakam by Sri Adisankarar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
