Arunachala, the home of Sri Ramana Maharishi and Ramanashram

'Nan Yar'


'Nan Yar' (eng. "Who am I") is the title of the original Tamil masterpiece written by Ramana Maharishi. I came across an English translation that I downloaded several months ago, but beseiged by life as I usually am, and have been, I never found my way towards it.

Cometh the hour, and cometh the words.

Here's the translation

Something about Ramana and why he exudes more veracity than many others who represent spirituality and teach the same.

-Those that recount spritual experiences always had them seemingly by themselves, seated in the presence of the Maharishi.
- The saint preached individual intellectual inquiry as the means for realization, available to all and attainable individually.
- Famously, he seldom spoke or gave discourses. Most people simply 'experienced' divinity in his presence.
- He never demonstrated anything that was obviously miraculous, although there are several miracles attributed to him by common people who apprised him of their travails.
