After a few days on my return
back to Mumbai, I received a phone call from a friend who wished to visit me to
explain regarding some temple in Tamilnadu. On the appointed day, my friend
came over, and he was accompanied by a tall, young man dressed in bhagwa colour
kurta and dothi. He was keen to see me. We were introduced and exchanged
pleasantries.
He was Swami Ramana
Swaroopananda, an ardent devotee of Shri Arunachala Ramana, and an earnest
seeker following the path of Atma Vichara, is the acharya of the Atma Vidya
Mandir. Submitting to the inner call of the divine, he moved to Arunachala
Ksetra to practice austerities at the feet of Bhagwan Sri Ramana. Initiated by
Arunachala Ramana into the secrets of Atma Gnana; he is now prompted from
within to share his love and understanding of Atma Vichara and Arunachala
Smarana.
He appeared to be learned and
spiritually inclined to do his best for this noble cause. He briefed me the
vision and the plan for the ambitious project which he is confident of
achieving through well-meaning friends, donors and devotees.
He was in Mumbai on an important
mission to raise funds from friends, devotees and others for financing the
project in Arunachala. The first phase of the ambitious project includes a
small temple for Arunachala, a Dhyana Mandir/Satsang hall, Acharya’s Kutiya, an
office block with basic amenities, Residential quarters for devotees, a Kitchen
and Dining hall. All the facilities are to face the holy hill Arunachala, so
that the darshan of Arunachala is unhindered.
Arunachala Kshetram or
Tiruvannamalai is a sacred place (Shiva bhoomi) in South India, where once Lord
Shiva appeared as an infinite column of light to bless the world. At the foot
hills of this hillock facing the almighty Arunachala, is the 8 of acres of land
where Atma Vidya Mandir after construction would be consecrated to bless the
world.
Swami Ramana Swaroopananda has
made an appeal through this blog to all the readers in India and across the
world to donate generously for the noble cause. One can sponsor or co-sponsor
any one of the facilities. All donations should be routed through – Sri Arunachala
Smaranamrutam Trust.

The Ramayana retold
Every Indian must
have read the translation and adaptation of the Ramayana sometime or the other.
RK Narayan once wrote that almost every Indian is aware of the story of the
Ramayana in some measure or the other.
Valmiki wrote the
first narrative of the epic in Sanskrit. Although the Ramayana may have existed
in some form before, his version is considered standard for most translations
into English. The oldest manuscript is a palm-leaf that was found in Nepal.
But very few may
have given a thought or realised the role of Bharata which is the essence and
has made the epic what it is, a fasinating story. The Ramayana can make you
think – and it is a great read, everytime. And especially, the episode of
Bharata. You will find it interesting.

‘As a
student of Indian history, I was attracted to this book because it effectively
answers how a young prince rejects the throne, which is not rightfully his.
Through this book, I learned the essence of Ramayana.
The book
opens the window into the ancient world of India and Bharata. It gives an
extremely rare insight into the epic Ramayana. I like the book because of the
simplicity in narration. It is a must read for anyone who wishes to know more
about Indian culture and mythology.
