 "Arunachala,
where true knowledge can be acquired without
rituals, book learning
or elaborate religious injunctions;
where even an ignorant person can gain enlightenment
by smearing on the forehead
sacred ash; where all residents overcome obstacles
and obtain the supreme knowledge without conscious
effort.
"Thus, just thinking about Arunachala purifies the mind. Likewise, the sight
of the mountain purifies the eyes, to speak of it purifies the tongue, and to
hear about it purifies the ears. The Supreme Being abides on this earth in the
form of Arunachala. The moment one sees it, ignorance is destroyed.
-Swami
Annamalai, referring to references to Arunachala
from ancient vedic texts
The
mountain of Arunachala, India, has been called
the most silent place on earth. Emanating from
Arunachala is a jamming signal to the mind which
leaves in its wake a silent mind. Arunachala is
considered by the Hindus to be the embodiment of
Lord Shiva, or the absolute Itself.
It
is here where Sri Ramana Maharshi
spent a his entire adult life (he never left Arunachala,
even once),
where he lived in its caves for
over
22 years, and is the present home of the Sri
Ramana Ashram. Sri Ramana Maharshi stated
that Arunachala is the source of the Silent Transmission,
and that
all who come
to it are guaranteed freedom.
He stated, "It
is grace, and grace alone, which
brings you to this mountain."
The Holy Mountain, Arunachala...
.
. . where
devotion, meditation, prayer and receiving
powerful blessings is not something that is
done in a
day, but makes up the very fabric of the day
.
. . where
the company of wise and enlightened ones
are not occasional visits, but whose faces and
wisdom
you personally receive daily
.
. . where
the Truth of your True nature is not
something you read about, study or investigate,
but rather,
it is lived daily
