A pencil sketch of young Venkataraman at Tiruvannamalai, known better as Ramana Maharishi. |
At a tender age of 16, the Boy attained enlightenment by means of self-enquiry - a simple method of pondering 'who am I?'. Many who had visited Him in His Ashram remark that His mere presence radiates such bliss that one's mind becomes still and there is nothing else around but just peace!
This great Being walked among us less than a century ago. And, it is because of the great souls like Sri Ramana Maharishi incarnate on Earth, commoners like us are reassured of the presence of the Divine.
