Bhagavan Sri Ramaṇa Mahārṣi , born Venkataraman Iyer in 1879, was a renowned Indian sage.
At 16, he experienced spontaneous self-realization and moved to Arunachala, where he remained for life.
Initially silent, he later attracted followers seeking spiritual guidance.
Known for his teachings on self-inquiry, Ramana Maharshi emphasized focusing on the I-thought to discover its source.
He believed this practice would lead to the dissolution of the ego and realization of one's true nature.
Ramana Maharshi didn't have a human guru, considering Arunachala mountain his spiritual guide.
He became world-famous, with an ashram built around him, before passing away in 1950 at 70.
