Arunachala: The Story of Ramana Maharshi
February 20 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Ramana Maharhi was an Indian saint who lived at the beginning of the 20th century. He received spontaneous enlightenment (Jivanmukti) at the age of sixteen and afterwards made a pilgrimage to the mountain Arunachala (Dakshinamurti, or Siva teaching in silence) where he lived for the remainder of his life. Although effortless in his own striving, his teaching is the living embodiment of the Vedanta philosophy.
