Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, who attained enlightenment at the age of sixteen at his home in Madurai in 1896, came to Tiruvannamalai, the sacred place, the very thought of which confers liberation. For fifty-four years his presence at Tiruvannamalai drew thousands of people from all over the world, giving them solace and peace. His presence is as potent now as it was, during his lifetime.
Copious literature is extant, on Bhagavan Ramana's life and his teachings. There is considerable literature about his devotees and their experiences. Many photographs of the sage are also available.
This work is an attempt to recount, both in word and picture, his birth and boyhood at Tiruchuzhi, his school days at Madurai, the enlightenment, the journey to Tiruvannamalai, his life at various places there, his teachings, works, and finally his Maha Nirvana. Rare photographs and write-ups give a vivid picture of oneof the greatest Rishis to have graced the earth. It is a sagaof simplicity, naturalness, grace, and compassion, savoured by the thousands who came to bask in his presence. These can still be felt by those who come to the Ashram now.
