Sri Ramana Maharshi was one of India’s most revered spiritual teachers and sages, whose life and teachings made Tiruvannamalai an important spiritual destination for people from around the world. Born in 1879, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening at a young age and later travelled to Tiruvannamalai, drawn by his deep devotion to the sacred Arunachala Hill. He spent most of his life in and around Arunachala, which he considered a powerful symbol of spiritual truth and divine presence. His central teaching was self-enquiry, encouraging individuals to discover their true nature through the profound question, “Who am I?” He emphasized inner peace, self-awareness, silence, devotion, and simplicity as paths towards spiritual realization. His teachings attracted devotees and spiritual seekers from India and across the world, making Tiruvannamalai internationally recognized as a centre for spirituality and self-discovery. Today, Sri Ramanasramam, located at the foothills of Arunachala, continues to preserve his legacy and welcomes thousands of visitors and devotees. Sri Ramana Maharshi remains one of the most influential spiritual personalities associated with Tiruvannamalai, and his timeless teachings continue to inspire people seeking peace, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
