(I did visit his cave, and it's quite nice actually.) > Ramana Maharshi's "Awakening" was around the age of 16 or so. He was more or less silent and spoke very little for around 11 years and his vocal cords lost some capacity. In early years, he answered mostly in writing. When his mother came for the first time, he did not speak to her but wrote a short note. After a while He gradually regained his voice and resumed normal communications. Eventually Sri Ramana's mother joined him and lived with the Sage. Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
