Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi Divya Charithram

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on February 2, 2019. In this Satsangam, my mom talked about Ramana Maharishi's Charithram. She talked about how a young boy of age 16 suddenly got the realization of his self with the help of Lord Arunachala and became spiritually empowered. She first talked about how self realization and Advaitam (soul and God are one) could lead us to become one with God, if practiced correctly. She also took the examples of Buddha's life and his pathway to realization. Then, she talked about Ramana Maharishi's childhood and how he was a playful, happy-go-lucky boy. Afterwards, she talked about how he realized that his Athma (soul) was eternal at the age of 16. As a young boy, he went to Thiruvannamalai and the young Venkataraman became Ramama Bhagavan. He stayed there until he left his body. Afterwards, she talked about Kavya Kanda Ganapathi Munivar and Seshadri Swamigal. She also talked about many more incidents where Ramana Bhagavan remained as an undisturbed, realized soul. Even when his mother came to get him back, he was not responsive and remained in Samadhi. In the later half, his mother herself came to the abode of Sri Ramana Maharishi. Sri Ramana Maharishi gave Mukthi to his mother and built Mathrubutheshwar Temple for her. She also talked about how Westerners, like Paul Brunton and Arthur Osborne, who were directed by Sri Mahaperiyava himself, came to the abode of Ramama Maharishi, and got peace and realization of self. I liked this topic of Sri Ramana Maharishi because it gave me a deeper insight on Advaitam and I could relate to it easily as I started reading Deivathin Kural. This is also interesting because Ramana Maharishi was a saint, who lived no more than 100 years ago, proving to be an example of the holy benefits one can reap if they follow the structure of Hinduism.
