About Sri Ramana Maharshi
1879–1950
Sri Ramana Maharshi was probably the most famous sage of the twentieth century both in India and the rest of the world.
He was renowned for his saintly life, for being fully realized, and for the powerful transmissions that often occurred to visitors in his presence. At age 16 he realized spontaneously and ran away to Arunachala, one of India’s traditional holy sites, where he stayed for the rest of his life. So many people came to see him there that an ashram was built around him. Many of his close devotees were regarded by their peers as self-realized.
Quotes by Ramana Maharsi
who you are
all your knowledge
is only
learned ignorance
at the feet of the Lord
of the Universe,
who accomplishes everything…
remain all the time steadfast in the heart,
in the Transcendental Absolute…
God knows the past, present and future…
he will determine the future for you,
and accomplish the work…
what is to be done will be done at the proper time,
don’t worry…
abide in the heart and
surrender your acts to the divine…
awareness or consciousness.
When the ego, however, dominates it,
it functions as the reasoning,
thinking or sensing faculty.
The cosmic mind
being not limited by the ego,
has nothing separate from itself
and is therefore only aware.
This is what the Bible means by
“I am that I AM”.
