Hey guys. On the auspicious day of 137th Jayanthi (birthday) of Sri Ramana Maharishi (January 12, 2017), I’m giving you guys the history and background of Akshara Mana Maalai. It’s the first composition of Sri Ramana Maharishi. It consists of 108 beautiful verses and dwells on the highest principles of reality. It’s called Akshara Mana Maalai because each verse is alphabetically arranged. Mana Maalai means wedding garland. The verses are in the form of the dialogue between the bride (Ramana Maharishi) and the groom (Lord Arunachala).
This is yet another work of my dad, but I'm working on an interesting article that I'll be posting tomorrow. The words are all in English, not Tamil. Below is the history of the Akshara Mana Maalai. Tune in for more content like this.
